Care Transitions

The Care Transitions, formerly known as Transitions in Care, is an initiative that has its roots in the need to improve communications between acute and community care settings.

Past Projects 

 

Saanich Peninsula TiC Project

The Saanich Peninsula TiC initiative brought together the South Island Division of Family Practice, physicians, the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, and the W’SANEC First Nation community to collaborate and create an effective, culturally safe journey for First Nation clients transitioning into and out of hospital.

  • Physician-focused World Cafés

  • Hospital focus and working groups
  • Community focus / working groups, feasts, and interactions

The Divisions of Family Practice acknowledge 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 Indigenous 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.
