uality of Healthcare in Canada: A Chartbook, published by the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF) in 2010, showed that when compared with other developed countries, Canada ranks in the middle of the pack with respect to healthcare quality. How we can best achieve higher-quality care is a much-debated issue in Canada and in most modern healthcare systems – and there are many conflicting views. The historical guild of professionalism through selfregulating professional colleges remains intact, especially for issues of poor conduct or criminal behaviour. However, there is widespread evidence of errors of commission (e.g., wrong-sided surgery or medication error) and omission (e.g., under-managed care or infection caused by an absence of hand hygiene) and unacceptable variation in quality of care (CHSRF 2011). So beyond the regulatory bodies, important new organizational, managerial and legislative imperatives are emerging to improve quality. With the emergence of “accountable care organizations” in the United States and new legislation in several Canadian provinces promising greater attention to performance measurement and reporting, there is increasing movement toward enhancing accountability structures and mechanisms as a means of achieving higher-quality care. To promote further examination of accountability for quality, CHSRF, in partnership with the Association of Canadian Academic Healthcare Organizations, the Canadian Institute for Health Information and the Canadian Medical Association, chose Leadership Accountability in Canadian Healthcare: Creating the Momentum to Improve Quality as the theme of the fifth annual CEO Forum in Montreal on February 16, 2011. Over 150 leaders from various sectors of Canada’s healthcare system were in attendance at the forum. As part of the program, a polling exercise was conducted to gain participants’ perspectives on quality and to promote discussion.
