The dedicated health professionals here at West Park Healthcare Centre are committed to providing the best possible care to our patients.

The Centre strongly supports the provincial government’s new public reporting requirements because we believe it will inspire improved performance, enhance patient safety, and strengthen the public’s confidence in Ontario’s hospitals.

Public reporting of C. difficile rates is another, helpful measure to ensure the care provided to our patients is even safer, and improves over time. It will also allow West Park to establish a baseline from which we can then track our rates over time. West Park continually looks internally at our hospital’s processes, identifies areas for improvement, and implements strategies to prevent and reduce the incidence of C. difficile at West Park.

Patients and their families should know that West Park is safe, that the care patients receive here is of the highest quality.

The public reporting of C. difficile rates is not intended to serve as a measure for
hospitals to compare themselves against other organizations, or for the public to use as
a measure of where to seek care. Some hospitals may experience higher rates of C.
difficile due to their type (i.e. acute care) and patient population (i.e. elderly).
