Submitted by PHC's Health Care Awards Committee
Did your project improve how health care is delivered? Do you know somebody whose contributions to quality of care deserve recognition?
Nominations are now being accepted for the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council’s 2018 Quality Awards.
Categories celebrate projects within the four areas of care, as well as four inspiring people.
The deadline to submit nominations is June 30, 2017. Judging criteria and nomination forms are available at www.bcpsqc.ca/quality-awards.
Categories
- Staying Healthy – A project that better prevented injury, illness or disability.
- Getting Better – A project that improved care for acute illness or injury.

- Coping with End of Life – A project that improved planning, care or support for life-limiting illness and bereavement.
- Leadership in Quality – An individual who demonstrates outstanding leadership in improving the quality of care.
- Everyday Champion Award – Someone who shows a passion and commitment for improving quality of care, even though they may not work in a leadership position or a role that specifies participation in improvement activities. The judging panel will select the candidates who best exemplify the award’s criteria and the winner will be selected through online voting open to everyone in BC.
- Quality Culture Trailblazer – Someone who created an environment where passionate staff are empowered and encouraged to innovate, and where teamwork and open communication are the norm.
- Leadership in Advancing the Patient Voice – A patient, caregiver or family member who made an outstanding contribution to advancing the patient voice in BC’s health care system.

Recognition
Winners will be awarded a $2,500 sponsorship to support and disseminate learning from their projects or to support ongoing learning and development, and will be recognized at an awards ceremony at Health Talks on February 21, 2018.
