ABOUT US
About the Seniors Quality Leap Initiative
The Seniors Quality Leap Initiative (SQLI) was established by North America’s leading Long Term Care organizations in 2010 out of their collective desire to improve clinical quality and safety for seniors.
Our Mission: To enhance the quality of life and quality of care for seniors by utilizing a structured approach to quality and performance improvement and disseminating recommendations to the broader post-acute and long-term care sector.
Our Vision: To become North America’s leading post-acute and long-term care provider consortium for benchmarking clinical quality standards that reflect advancing innovative change ideas to raise the bar for excellence throughout our industry.
Our Strategic Directions:
- Exchange and benchmark performance data as it relates to quality of care and quality of life for seniors.
- Test, design, and adopt a collaboratively derived approach for performance improvement.
- Identify and undertake initiatives designed to make improvements in quality of care and quality of life for seniors using evidence-based practices.
- Broadly disseminate SQLI consensus-based recommendations for improvement across the post-acute and long term care sector.
- Support a culture of innovation that consistently seeks to identify, test, evaluate and develop innovative solutions that have the potential for significant healthcare and economic impact through partnership with the Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CABHI).
