title: Testing changes: the next step in accelerating excellence.
abstract: Saskatchewan's Health Quality Council (HQC) was launched in 2003 with a mandate not only to measure and report on healthcare but also work with a range of partners to improve the province's health system. In late 2007, HQC's board decided it was time for Saskatchewan to reinvent its healthcare system, using the highest-performing systems in the world as its model. And in 2008, HQC launched Accelerating Excellence, a multi-level program to rethink, redesign and renew healthcare.
