BC Children's and BC Women's Hospitals benefit from engagement advisors who are responsible for developing, sustaining and evaluating partnership opportunities between patients, families, providers, and staff.
Engagement advisors work in partnership with hospital staff to plan and implement strategies to ensure active patient engagement. These roles develop and build capacity around partnership strategies, and coordinate existing and new feedback systems.
