Island Health Clinical Governance Improvement Initiative Local Level Design

Island Health is conducting a Clinical Governance Improvement Initiative (CGII), with a current focus on establishing a model for Local Quality and Operations. As we begin to design this local level quality structure, Patient partners residing on Vancouver Island and the Southern or Northern Gulf Islands are invited to participate in the Local Level Design Network, a time-limited group of leaders and influencers who understand the impact of change on employees and medical staff.

We are seeking two patient partners to be part of this Network. Participation would require a total of 12 hours of time between August and December, 2023: 1.5 Hours for a Network Kickoff Event on August 17 (8:00-9:30am); a half hour every three weeks from September to November for Network; and an hour long project close out even in December, 2023.

Throughout the project you will be asked to provide input on both the design of a local quality committee model and the implementation of that model in your community, as well as represent and share experiences and perspectives the project team may not already hear from (including from your part of the island and your background).
