Participant, Weaving the Threads: Bridging Silos, Building Impact, UBC Health Virtual Cross-Sector Dialogue

This virtual event will bring together people from diverse perspectives to discuss how we can better bridge healthcare silos across roles, teams, organizations, and regions to heighten the impact of our collective efforts to improve BC’s health system. The half day Zoom event will take place Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 12:30-4:30 pm. This event builds on the 2023 Breathe and Weave health summit and feedback of participants about emerging top-priority themes.

Patient partners will connect with healthcare providers, academics, administrators, policymakers and those from linked sectors to contribute to a shared understanding of the impacts of silos in BC’s health system and help identify the opportunities to counteract the negative impacts. Patient partners will also have the opportunity to help catalyze collaborative action among participants toward a goal of better bridging silos.

Agenda is as follows:
Welcome & Opening Remarks
Guest Interview with Dr. Charles Friedman, Chair of the Department of Learning Health Sciences at University of Michigan Medical School
Breakout Room Discussion on silos and their impacts on BC healthcare
