Cancer Quality Council of Ontario

The CQCO monitors and reports publicly on cancer system performance in Ontario, and through the use of international expertise and advice, makes recommendations for targeted quality improvement to the minister of Health and Long-Term Care via Cancer Care Ontario’s Board of Directors.

The CQCO conducts its work through the delivery of four annual activities:

• The Cancer System Quality Index (CSQI) that measures cancer system performance across Ontario
• The Quality and Innovation Awards that recognizes and promotes front line quality improvement and innovation across the province.
• The annual Signature Event that addresses system-wide gaps and identifies areas of opportunity for tangible action to improve the quality of health services delivery within the Ontario context
• The Programmatic Review that reviews program progress, analyses effectiveness and makes recommendations for future strategic direction.
