Hospital Public Reporting
Along with all hospitals in Ontario, PRHC reports our rates of hospital-acquired infections and other important patient safety indicators routinely. You will also find links to more information about these indicators and about how these rates are calculated.
For further information about infections in hospitals across Ontario, please visit the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care’s website: www.ontario.ca/patientsafety.
The Ontario Hospital Association provides patient safety data and information for Ontario Hospitals at: www.myhospitalcare.ca.
