Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to provide proof of completion for each QI activity completed in Step 1? 

No. You do not need to provide proof of completion for each of the QI activities you choose to complete in Step 1. Only the QI Activity Record and Reflection must be completed and submitted to CPSO. However, participants are encouraged to retain their certificates of completion in the event that CPSO performs a random audit, and for the purposes of CPD credits. 

2. Can I pick any 3 QI activities I choose for the purposes of Step 1? 

The current menu of activities within the Pilot for Step 1 include 10 QI activity options. Participants must choose a minimum of 3 activities from the provided menu of 10 for the purposes of completing Step 1. 

3. What can I do if I want to participate in QI Partnership Pilot?  

Your hospital must be an approved Pilot organization for you to enroll in the 2025 QI Partnership Pilot option. From there, a QI lead will need to submit your name to CPSO to acknowledge that you are an active participant within your hospital’s approved QI initiative. We encourage you to reach out to a CPSO Quality team member to discuss the options. 

4. If I select “yes” on the Information Sharing Consent form to sharing information with my hospital, what information does CPSO share with my hospital?  

CPSO may share the status of your completion of the required Pilot activities and whether you requested to be withdrawn from the QI Partnership Pilot option. Any reflections and information you submit as part of the required QI components of the Pilot will not be shared with your hospital. 

5. What do I do if my hospital’s QIP initiative hasn’t started yet?  

The deadline for you to complete your Pilot activities is unrelated to your hospital initiative and its timing. You can still complete the required QI activities and reflective activity questions. However, to do so, you do need to have knowledge and understanding of your hospital’s anticipated QI initiative, how you will be involved, and its potential impact on your practice.  

6. I’m a QI lead at my hospital, and some additional physicians want to participate in Pilot. How can I enroll them?  

Please reach out to a CPSO Quality team member to discuss this possibility. The enrollment of additional physicians may be dependent on timing of your inquiry and status of your organization as a participating Pilot organization. 

7. How can I change my QI deadline in the Portal? 

Please reach out to a Quality team member if you have questions about your deadline or if you feel you need more time to complete the Pilot requirements.  

8. What if I’ve previously completed one of the listed QI activities? Can this count as one of my Pilot activities?  

If you completed one of the modules listed on our QI Activity Options within the last 6 months, you may count it towards your Pilot participation. Remember to keep a record of your certificate of completion in case you are asked for proof. 

9. Where can I provide feedback about my Pilot experience?  

After you have successfully completed all your QI Pilot activities, one of the Quality team members will reach out to you with a feedback form for you to use to share your experience.
