Introduction
VHA Home HealthCare (VHA) is dedicated to providing high quality care and to partnering with clients and families. VHA is made up of caring, committed health care specialists who truly want to help and love what they do. Many of our staff and service providers build strong bonds with the clients and families they care for. These meaningful connections are at the heart of client and family-centred care at VHA. We look forward to helping support your health and wellness.
Commitment to Quality
One of VHA's core beliefs is that care must be spectacular and continuously focused on quality improvement and client safety. Our organization operates within a sound, integrated, board-endorsed, quality, risk & client safety framework. Rigorous monitoring of key quality and clinical performance indicators happens across all levels of the organization, including VHA’s dedicated Quality & Risk Management Committee of the Board.
Client-centred Care at VHA
VHA is always looking for ways to make sure we are delivering the highest quality care to our clients and families. We have a number of initiatives to support these efforts.
Client and Family-Centred Care is an approach to care that focuses on the whole person as a unique individual and not just on their illness or disease. It allows for health care providers to come to know and understand the person’s life story, experience of health, the role of family in the person’s life, and the role they may play in supporting the person to achieve health. – Registered Nurses of Ontario, 2015.
