The CSBC Quality Committee is a provincial group of cardiovascular clinicians, quality professionals, and administrative leaders. The Committee works to understand the quality of cardiovascular care in BC, identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement, and strategize to enable meaningful change in the system of care.

Patient partners are sought to share their perspective of the quality of cardiovascular care in BC, contribute to the identification and prioritization of improvement opportunities, and share ideas to achieve and sustain meaningful change in the system.

The Committee will meet virtually twice yearly, typically for 1.5-2.0 hours at the end of the work day (eg, 4:00-6:00pm). There may be additional opportunity to participate in project work, if desired.

CSBC provides direction and leadership to improve how cardiac services are managed and accessed in BC. Through partnerships across the health system, we 1) monitor cardiac disease-related prevention and treatment; 2) support access and sustainability within BC’s cardiac care system; and 3) promote knowledge translation and system transformation.

It has been so rewarding to go from an idea to working with such a great group of dedicated people from so many different organizations towards a very fun and rewarding project. Several extremely engaged PVN members expressed interest in being part of piloting a patient virtual care peer support system. I am confident that this is the beginning of many more exciting collaborations!
