VIDEO: If you could improve one thing…

We brought people together from across our health system to ask them one very important question: “If you could improve one thing about the way we deliver care, what would that be?”

Background

The Clinical & Systems Transformation (CST) project aims to improve the quality and consistency of patient care at all hospitals and sites across Vancouver Coastal Health, Provincial Health Services Authority and Providence Health Care.

The project will introduce shared electronic health records across these three health organizations.

These are the drivers of the CST project:

Best Way, Every Day
Improve quality and consistency of care

Draw on Data
Make better information available to improve decision-making

Face Time, Not Chase Time
Improve the healthcare experience for patients and care teams

First, Do No Harm
Reduce errors and adverse events

Strengthen our Core
Improve system reliability and sustainability
