Enhancing Access Initiative

What Do We Do? 

We have supported a variety of specialists across the province to take an active role in addressing patient access issues unique to their individual location and context. 

  • Simplifying and standardizing the referral process by establishing single entry model for a group of specialists.
  • Partnering with health authorities to optimize waitlist management systems.
  • Establishing multidisciplinary clinics to address specific patient populations.
  • Creating information sharing systems between specialists through web portals and data exchanges.
  • Implementing processes to ensure equitable distribution of patient referrals.

How Do We Support You?

  • We provide one time funding to support direct costs associated with your project. 
  • Knowledge sharing – we connect you with physicians who have completed Enhancing Access projects to share their insight and project implementation experiences. 
  • Change management and project management best practice guidance.  
  • We provide Resources and templates to support you with your project deliverables.

The Specialist Services Committee acknowledges that we work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many different Indigenous Nations throughout British Columbia.

Acknowledging that we are on the traditional territories of First Nations communities is an expression of cultural humility and involves recognizing our duty and desire to support the provision of culturally safe care to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people in BC.
