Island Health is looking to improve the patient and family experience in healthcare by involving family as a partner in care. We’re creating a Family Presence Policy, allowing patients the option to have a family member involved and present during their healthcare journey. This policy aims to foster collaboration among patients, families, and healthcare providers to enhance overall patient outcomes.
We are looking for 6-8 patient and family partners to provide input and feedback on the development of the Family Presence Policy. Your firsthand experiences, both as a patient and a visitor, are invaluable. Share with us the impact of having family present as a support person and help us define the roles and responsibilities of patients, families, and the healthcare team.
Time commitment will be two 90 min. virtual sessions
Session 1 February 15th @ 2 pm – Review policy draft and provide feedback
Session 2 February 29th @ 2 pm – Present changes and provide feedback
