Shared Care projects improve patient care and health outcomes. Projects bring together family physicians, specialists, and other medical and non-medical professionals. Together these partners identify and address interdisciplinary issues affecting a patient's shared care.

 

Steering Committee

The Shared Care Steering Committee, formed in 2013, helps us:

• identify and develop new projects 
• bring specialists and family physicians together for better coordinated patient care 
• bridge gaps in communication between hospital and community-based physicians with the goal of providing a coordinated health care experience for all
• facilitate collaboration between physicians to foster mutual trust, respect and knowledge of each physician’s expertise, skills, and responsibilities, all of which are integral to effective collaboration and collegial relationships

Committee members include local specialists, family physicians, Interior Health members and provincial Shared Care staff.

If you have an idea for a potential Shared Care project please contact us.
