The CSBC Aortic and Structural Cardiac Disease (ASCD) population group is a provincial group of cardiovascular clinicians, allied health care professionals, and administrative leaders. The Committee works to understand the care for ASCD patients and providers 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 on this population group and 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 a year, typically 1.5-2.0 hours at the end of the workday (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.
