The MOHLTC does not endorse, warrant, guarantee or otherwise certify the quality or standards of diagnostic or other services provided by preferred providers. These considerations should be reviewed by the patient in consultation with his or her attending physician(s). Hospital scorecards are one tool that may be of assistance to patients and physicians seeking further information about appropriateness, quality and safety.
