Quality improvement
All types of quality improvement (QI) or quality assurance (QA) projects are conducted at our facilities.
Quality versus research projects
The University of Alberta Health Research Ethics Board (HREB) provides guidance for differentiating between QI/QA projects and research. Review their guidelines to determine whether your project is a QI/QA project or research, which requires an ethics review.
If you are unsure whether a proposed project is QI/QA or research, submit it to HREB for determination before proceeding.
Once you’ve received a determination from HREB, email it to research@covenanthealth.ca.
