Will I be assured compliance with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario Out of hospital Premises Guidelines and Regulations?
IHFQA Inc. quality assurance programs are based on the CPSO OHP guidelines and regulations and the Canadian Anaesthesia Society Standards of Practice. Our programs are evidence based and utilize best practice principles in line with the same standards of care as an Ontario hospital based anaesthesia care program. By choosing IHFQA services and following our programs our guarantee is that we will continue to work for you until a successful approval rating from the CPSO is achieved. Your QA program will be delivered in organized reference binders and electronic files for easy reporting to CPSO assessors and medical-legal referencing.

At IHFQA we manage the burden of quality assurance planning and implementation in preparation for CPSO site assessment with as little worry and resource commitment from your practice as possible. IHFQA offers flexible hours including evenings and week-end scheduling to minimize the impact on your practice’s regular hours of operations. Our goal is to ensure there is little or no lost time with your patients or need to alter your practice hours to prepare or update your quality assurance program in preparation for OHP compliance.
