UHN is committed to being engaged, collaborative and responsive to what matters most to patients. Engaging with patients and caregivers as partners is key to our success.
UHN engages patients and caregivers directly in their care, by sharing information and partnering with them with dignity, respect and compassion. See
UHN's Patient Declaration of Values here.
Patients and caregivers are also engaged in organizational improvement. UHN has developed programs that support patients, staff and leaders to partner and work together meaningfully toward common goals to improve quality and safety. By understanding patient and caregiver experiences of care, preferences, and needs, it allows us to build compassionate and responsive care at UHN.
