The PSCC’s goal is to support health authorities and health professional education institutions province wide to advance the efficient development of simulation education through an integrated approach that improves access to simulation facilities, technologies, and resources. In early 2013, the PSCC received funding to develop a Simulation Roadmap for BC. The first deliverable in this roadmap is a Current State Report that aims to enable the BC Government to make effective, contextual decisions on where to allocate taxpayer funds based on an improved understanding of the current simulation environment. A PSCC Sub-Committee was established to lead the development of the Current State Report and included representatives from UBC, BCIT, and Northern Health Authority. The Sub-Committee developed a list of online survey questions for stakeholders identified by the PSCC across the Province according to regional, professional, and institutional affiliation. Approximately 80 individuals were invited to complete the survey on May 27, 2013 and 56 completed responses were received by the survey close on July 5, 2013 for a 70% completion rate. Key findings from the survey were grouped into three categories: 1. Equipment and Technology 2.

  • THE FRASER VALLEY HEALTH CENTRE and the EASTERN FRASER VALLEY CANCER CENTRE
    THE FRASER VALLEY HEALTH CENTRE and THE EASTERN FRASER VALLEY CANCER CENTRE BUSINESS CASE February 8, 2001 Submitted by Fraser Valley Health Region BC Cancer Agency Fraser Valley Regional District Health Services Group BC Buildings Corporation Fraser Valley Health Centre Eastern Fraser Valley Cancer Centre EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Fraser Valley Health Region and the BC Cancer Agency submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Health in June 2000 to construct two new health care facilities on lands owned by the Regional Hospital District on Marshall Road in Abbotsford, BC. The Fraser Valley Health Centre is a 300-bed acute-care hospital, intended as a replacement for the Matsqui-Sumas-Abbotsford Hospital located in Abbotsford. The Eastern Fraser Valley Cancer Centre is a new facility. Both facilities will provide services to the local health area as well as specialized programming to the residents of the entire Fraser Valley Health Region. In late June 2000, the FVHR and BCCA received approval and planning funds from the Ministry of Health to proceed with planning for these facilities. This document summarizes the outcome of this planning process and represents the business case to support the project. It addresses the requirements for Capital Project Funding specified by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance and Corporate Relations. History of This Project The Fraser Valley Health Region and the Ministry of Health have been seeking solutions to the health care services shortfall in the Region since 1986. Seven options were developed for renovating the existing MSA Hospital between 1987 and mid-1989. A study completed for the Ministry of Health in April 1990 recommended a new facility on a new site.
