Purpose and Goals
A provincial group was stood up to develop a framework and add content to support Hybrid Models of Care (HMOC) implementations throughout BC.
Hybrid Models of Care is the use of virtual care in acute and emergent/urgent care to provide physician services to settings that are under-supported and often rural/remote.
The content is now ready for review and Island Health patient partners are being requested to support this review.
Opportunity for Involvement
We are looking for 2 patient partners who access acute or emergent urgent care, especially in areas that are typically underserved or have long wait times on the island. (Preference will be given to those living in rural or remote areas.)
Patient partners will:
1) Have input about the education materials.
2) Help ensure these education materials are clear and understandable.
3) Review the on-site and remote sections of the education to ensure the patient point of view is centered.
Level of engagement: Consult
Number of positions available: 2
Commitment: Approximately 3 hours between April 13 & 23, 2026. Exact day & time TBD.
Connection method: Virtual via MS Teams
Open to: Patient partners from Vancouver Island – participants do not need to be a PVN member.
RSVP: If you’re a member of the Patient & Public Partnership Program, submit your expression of interest here.
