Network's Performance

In the name of transparency and accountability, Vitalité Health Network publishes Quarterly Reports to the Community in which we detail the progress we are making in transforming the organization to better meet the public’s needs.

Updated on a quarterly basis, our Performance Report paints a detailed portrait of the Network’s performance in the following areas:

  • Health results;
  • Employee experience;
  • Patient and family experience;
  • Organizational excellence.

For each key indicator, the report gives the:

  • Benchmark (national or international figure for the same indicator);
  • Vitalité Health Network’s target for the current quarter;
  • Result for the current quarter;
  • Trend over recent quarters.

The colour codes reflect the progress being made.

  • Green – Better than target
  • Yellow – Meets target (+/- 5%)
  • Red – Fails to meet target

We choose what to measure based on the improvements to be made. It’s therefore normal to see yellow and red, which flag gaps between current performance and desired performance.

Thank you to everyone who is in any way contributing to the Network’s improvement initiatives and to our health workers who, despite the challenges they face, continue practising their professions with heart and compassion.
