Aim

Our goal is to increase clarity and accessibility of the Patient Care Quality Program by redesigning existing brochures and posters. Having a patient partner share their perspective as part of the redesign will help to ensure a patient lens is included. The patient partner will be a member of the committee, along with representatives from each of the Health Authorities, giving their opinion and perspective on how we can better communicate and ultimately increase patients’ or their representatives’ feedback of how they were treated when they needed to access the health care system.
