On behalf of Health Quality BC
Health Quality BC is excited to lead the new Choosing Wisely provincial hub for BC, a central resource that supports high-quality, evidence-informed care throughout the province. The hub will help align and coordinate efforts to ensure patients receive the right care, at the right time and for the right reasons.
We recognize that great work is already underway throughout the province to reduce unnecessary tests, treatments, and procedures that may compromise value and cause harm. The hub is here to:
- Build connections and sharing between initiatives
- Help scale and spread improvements that work
- Support clinicians and teams in implementing Choosing Wisely recommendations
What's Happening Now?
We're starting with work already underway with partners across BC on:
Appropriate use of antipsychotic medications in long-term care
Low-carbon alternatives that support both patient care and the environment: two areas of focus are anesthesia and respiratory care
Emerging opportunities linked to administrative burden relating to appropriateness and stewardship of medications and diagnostic imaging
