You want to know the hows of effective partnerships. Join Hélène Campbell, Leslee J. Thompson, Julie Drury and Heather Thiessen for another People Powered Health webinar as they get real with what effective engagement looks like.

Health Standards Organization (HSO), Accreditation Canada (AC) and the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement (CFHI) are inspiring positive change. The philosophy of people-centred care is woven throughout HSO and AC’s standards criteria, Leading Practice reviews, recognition awards and accreditation services.

The four panelists will use common “must have” people-centred care partnership philosophies to illustrate what effective partnering can look like for you, wherever you are in the world.

Attendees will learn:

  • How to prepare for and create an environment that fosters quality engagement for positive change  
  • What effective engagement looks like in practice at the individual, organizational and system levels
  • How to identify and understand common pitfalls, misconceptions and how to evaluate quality patient and people-centred care
  • How you can work better with patients, providers, leaders and other stakeholders for shared purpose

Featuring:

  • Heather Thiessen, Patient Partner with Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), Patient Lead with HSO in partnership with Hélène Campbell, Panelist

The bottom line is because we’re caring for patients. People who know best are those who are receiving the care so it makes logical sense that we would consult with them about their experiences. By connecting with PVN we have been able to educate our teams about the value of patient partners and how important their perspective is in our services.
