Study Purpose
There are many definitions of ‘the care provided by community hospice’ in use in BC. If everyone uses the same definition, it will be clearer what care community hospices provide, allowing improved access to patients, & making it easier for the hospices to improve and continue their work. We will use a method called a Delphi process. It uses repeated online surveys to collect opinions, sharing the survey results before answering the next survey.

Details
Participants will complete at least 3 online surveys of up to 20min each. Each survey involves reading supporting information before completing the survey. They will have 2 weeks to complete each survey. The supporting information will be a 3-6 page document that describes background research or the last survey’s results, and the reasoning behind any decisions we make. We will be available to answer any questions they have about the documents.

Eligibility
Age: 19 Years – 150 Years Old
Accepting Healthy Volunteers: No

It has been so rewarding to go from an idea to working with such a great group of dedicated people from so many different organizations towards a very fun and rewarding project. Several extremely engaged PVN members expressed interest in being part of piloting a patient virtual care peer support system. I am confident that this is the beginning of many more exciting collaborations!
