From the Ward to the Board: Health Care Context and Considerations in 2024

Health care in 2024 is complex and under strain.  Workforce considerations, patient and community engagement, broader definitions of health to include social care, partnerships, innovation, and constrained resources add to the complexities of delivering high-quality care to British Columbians.  Clinicians, academics, educators, health leaders, politicians and the public are all needing to adapt to rapid changes in the health system.  This presentation will discuss the context and considerations, with a focus on areas of inquiry, that could support health system improvements in B.C. 

Participants will:

1. Gain an understanding of unique considerations in healthcare in 2024;

2. Consider specific areas of inquiry that could inform and transform care;

3. Engage in a discussion to generate strategies that may enhance collective impact.
