Patient Safety
The Centre strongly supports the provincial government’s public reporting requirements because we believe it inspires improved performance, enhances patient safety, and strengthens the public’s confidence in Ontario’s hospitals.
Public reporting of Hand Hygiene Compliance Rates; and C. difficile (Clostridium difficile), VRE (Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus) and MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection rates is another, helpful measure to ensure the care provided to our patients is even safer, and improves over time.

Greening Health Care (GHC) is a collective of over 50 Canadian hospitals working together to reduce energy costs while maintaining or improving patient care. The program provides the knowledge and resources to maximize energy and operating cost savings, beginning with understanding what the energy data says about not only a facility's overall energy performance, but the efficiencies (and inherent opportunities) of its various systems.
West Park has a long, proud tradition of energy conservation, earning a 2015 Green Hospital Scorecard Silver Seal for its energy conservation efforts and became a member of the 5% Club in 2018.
West Park is committed to providing exemplary care inspired by innovation and exceptional performance. By reducing our carbon footprint, we are contributing to the health and well-being of our patients and community.
