Commitment: One-time

Connection method: Virtual

Open to Fraser Valley & Lower Mainland, Patient partners across BC

We are working to create educational material focused on optimizing patients’ discharge from hospital with respect to their medications. In some of our previous research we have identified that patients often find the time of discharge from hospital to be confusing, especially in relation to medication changes that may have occurred during their hospital stay.

We have created some paper based educational material and a short, patient informational video and are seeking to get patient input. The material would be provided to the patients electronically via email and they would be asked a few questions pertaining to the material in addition to whether they have any other feedback that they would like to provide.

No additional information.

Recently, a PVN Patient Advisor asked healthcare partners, “What are we learning from patients, families, and others thus far during this pandemic?”. This is an excellent question and one to ask ourselves daily.
