We support work that aims to improve quality of care in numerous clinical areas, and we lead initiatives that align with the evolving priorities of British Columbia’s health care system.
Our initiatives, campaigns, and distributed leadership models engage those working within the system as well as patients and families. We encourage collaboration and facilitate learning across the system to accelerate improvements in care, and also develop and provide tools, learning events and coaching to achieve and sustain improvements into the future.
