Open to Provincial Region, Patient partners across BC

To establish a connected and coordinated provincial health system – a system where patients will be provided access to care in the right place, by the right team, at the right time, using the right technology in a culturally safe way. Currently health authorities manage this in different ways such as phone, text message, paper processes and whiteboards. The challenge is we don’t have up to date information to make the best decisions. This creates a system that is not connected and functioning seamlessly.
Patient partners and their family stories will allow for a full understanding of the experience of being transferred out of their community for acute care and returned home.
Recognition for time will be provided according to the PHSA organizational policies.
