TRANSFORMING CARE DELIVERY

SUPPORTING COMMUNITY BASED SPECIALISTS explores how community specialists can be better integrated in the work of SSC. FACILITY ENGAGEMENT funds and supports facility-based Medical Staff Associations (MSAs) to increase engagement among members and with their health authority, to improve care delivery. IMPROVING SPECIALIST JOB SATISFACTION works to address physician burnout and improve provider experience of care delivery. SURGICAL PATIENT OPTIMIZATION COLLABORATIVE works to optimize patient health before major surgery for improved surgical outcomes. ENHANCING ACCESS INITIATIVE improves patient access to consult and care by enabling specialist groups to implement a pooled referral model of service delivery. SPREADING QUALITY IMPROVEMENT fosters collaborative relationships that result in the spread of quality improvement work funded by SSC. PHYSICIAN LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP empowers physicians by providing them with leadership training of their choosing as approved by the SSC. UBC SAUDER PHYSICIAN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM empowers physicians by providing them with accredited leadership training by the University of British Columbia. PHYSICIAN QUALITY IMPROVEMENT provides quality improvement training to physicians and supports their Learning Action Projects.

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.
