Committed to a 2026–2030 quality strategy articulated around four principles – accessibility, excellence, safety, and personalization of care – the HUG have structured, within the Service qualité des soins, a clinical performance and excellence hub responsible for steering continuous improvement programs on an institutional scale.

It is within this framework that the DynamO program is part of, co-managed by the Medical Direction and the Nursing Direction. DynamO structures management by quality at all levels of the organization - units, services, and departments - by relying on clinical indicators and continuous improvement loops. These allow for the implementation of clinical best practices and the de-implementation of inappropriate practices.
