  • Annual Report 2009-2010 Community Consultations: “Let’S Talk About Primary Health Care”
    Annual Report 2009-2010 Community Consultations: “Let’s Talk About Primary Health Care” In fall 2009, Northern Health held public meetings on primary health care in 18 communities across northern BC. Comments were also gathered online and on paper. In total, almost a thousand residents participated. The series of meetings, “Let’s Talk About Primary Health Care: Discuss the Future of Basic Health Care in Your Community,” was an opportunity for Northerners to provide input on primary health care (activities and services that support good health throughout a person’s life). “A strong primary health care system is a cornerstone of Northern Health’s vision through 2015,” said Dr. Charles Jago, Northern Health Board Chair. “Information provided by northern residents through this set of consultations will help guide Northern Health’s Board and senior management with their planning and priorities.” Issues raised by consultation participants included the following: • Access to physicians; • Primary care innovation, including technology, a team approach to care, and new ways of supporting those living with chronic disease; • Access to specialized services; • Support for the elderly; • Mental health and addictions support; • Health promotion/education; and • Pollution. The report is available at www.northernhealth.ca (About Us > Northern Health Reports > Community Accountability), or residents can phone 1-250-565-2941 to request a printed copy. “Let’s Talk About Primary Health Care” was the third round of community consultations carried out by Northern Health since 2004. Michael McMillan (R) - Northern Health’s Chief Operating Officer for the Northern Interior, talks with a focus group in Valemount in September 2009.

  • Opioid Or Suspected Opioid Overdose (OD) Case Definition
    Public ED Enhanced Surveillance - Opioid or Suspected Opioid Overdoses in Northern Health: Updated: Aug 20, 2020 Opioid or suspected opioid overdose (OD) case definition: a physiological event induced by the suspected introduction of an opioid into the body of a person that results in life-threatening situation and that a reasonable person would believe requires emergency medical assistance. The data in this report comes from the Emergency Department (ED) Opioid OD Enhanced Surveillance System. Enhanced surveillance of ODs was implemented in response to the OD public health emergency declared by the Provincial Health Officer in April 2016. Data collection began on June 13, 2016 at all Northern Health Emergency Departments and Health Centres. To date we have had 1,803 overdoses reported to Public Health. Figure 1 shows OD counts by week. Figure 2 provides a geographical picture of where OD's are reported. Figure 3 provides OD counts by reporting ED community. ED's with less than 5 cases reporting in a quarter are suppressed to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of the patients. **A new data collection form was implemented in May 2018 that reduced the number of data elements reported to public health; the patients history of drug use, drug(s) used, and location of use/overdose are no longer tracked.** This report only includes individuals who present to an ED with an overdose that is known or suspected to be an opioid. Individuals who overdose in the community and do not go to an ED are not presented in these numbers. Therefore, caution should be used when generalizing these findings to all overdoses that occur in Northern Health.

  • Bc Simulation Current State Report
    Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee Current State Report BC SIMULATION CURRENT STATE REPORT Prepared by: BC Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee Delivered to: BC Ministry of Advanced Education, Innovation, and Technology BC Ministry of Health November 29, 2013 November 19, 2013 Page 0 of 35 Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee Current State Report 1 Executive Summary The Provincial Simulation Coordination Committee (PSCC) was established in June 2012 and functions as a central coordinating and advisory organization. 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.
