BC Patient Safety & Quality Council
BC Patient Safety & Quality Council (BCPSQC) provides system-wide leadership that brings a provincial perspective to patient safety and quality improvement activities. Through collaborative partnerships with health authorities and other health care providers, BCPSQC promotes and informs a provincially coordinated, patient-centred approach to patient safety and quality improvement.
BC Patient Safety & Quality Council provides advice and makes recommendations to the Minister of Health Services.
For the vast majority of patients treated in British Columbia’s acute, chronic and community care settings, their health care journey ends with an optimal health outcome. However, this is not always the case, and for this reason the Minister of Health Services established the British Columbia Patient Safety & Quality Council.
The Council provides advice to the Minister of Health Services on issues of patient safety and quality of care, and will bring health system stakeholders together in a collaborative partnership to promote and inform a provincially coordinated, innovative and patient-centered approach to patient safety and quality improvement in BC.
The Council will build capacity and expertise in patient safety and quality improvement; support health authorities and other service delivery partners in their continuous effort to improve the safety and quality of care; and will work to improve health system transparency and accountability for the public.
