The overarching goal of our research is to integrate equity in incident reporting and patient complaints systems in Canadian hospitals. Incident reporting and patient complaints systems are structured hospital processes for reporting, analyzing and addressing adverse events and patient concerns and contributing factors. However, these systems are not currently designed to attend to equity considerations such as the ways that ethnicity, language, and disability affect patient safety.
Role and responsibilities: As a Patient Advisory Committee member, you will be a collaborator on this project, alongside the research team and expert panel. You will ensure that patient/public voices are heard and embedded throughout the project stages of design, implementation, and dissemination. In particular, you will serve as a consultant to research activities that include a literature review, interviews with healthcare providers and patient/public members, a national survey and developing recommendations. We anticipate the Patient Advisory Committee having approximately 8 members.
