The Care Transitions Committee currently has an opening available for a South Island family physician member.
Care Transitions is a committee of the South Island Division, in collaboration with Victoria Division of Family Practice and Island Health. Administrative support is provided by the Victoria Division of Family Practice, with funding from the Shared Care Committee. The purpose of Care Transitions is to identify key challenges to patient transitions in order to implement and evaluation solutions aimed at improving care coordination and continuity.
The Care Transitions Committee works to:
-
Build and strengthen collaboration among family and specialist physicians, Island Health, and other health professionals as patients transition between them
-
Maximize the potential for success of this initiative through collaborative, coordinated, and strategic implementation of specific improvements
-
Build a foundation that enables ongoing improvement activities which have the greatest likelihood of sustainability in the future
Meetings are held quarterly in September, December, March, and June. If you have questions or are interested in this opportunity, please contact Kristin Atwood at katwood@victoriadivision.ca.
