BackgroundTo confirm the reliability of a survey investigating physician engagement in quality improvement (QI) among Ontario physicians. We conducted a pilot study to test the survey on physicians, evaluate a recruitment strategy, and assess preliminary data. MethodsAll Ontario physicians were invited to participate in the survey through province-wide online physician and hospital organization newsletters. ResultsResults indicate a need for solutions and standards for training physicians interested in participating in QI initiatives. Study objectives were reached, but recruitment remains challenging. ConclusionThis pilot study supports conducting a full-scale survey that would result in more robust results.
