The Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA) surveyed its client groups to determine how involved they had become in continuous quality improvement (CQI) activities. This was a follow up to a 1992 survey. Most of the participating organizations indicated they had adopted a CQI philosophy. A major factor influencing this decision was the use of the CCHSA's client-centred standards. This article outlines the gains organizations have realized by implementing CQI, and the extent to which organizations have implemented CQI principles, methods and tools. The information from this survey has been used to develop the accreditation program for the year 2000 — “The AIM Project: Achieving Improved Measurement.”
