IHI'S RESPONSE TO COVID-19

After a brief pause filled with planning and adjustment to the new COVID situation, IHI UBC is ready to continue providing both online and in person events and workshops to further integrate all of you into the world of Healthcare, Quality Improvement, and Patient Safety.

Stay safe and continue to wear masks in public, socially distance, and practice hand hygiene to ensure your safety, and that of your family and friends!

Our kick-off event for the 2020/2021 school year will be on World Patient Safety Day, September 17th! Come and join us to get to know our chapter, play fun informative games and win prizes, and get involved with patient safety and quality improvement! The event will include an introduction to the chapter, a jeapordy game on patient safety, and a patient-centered care activity where you will have the chance to speak about your own ideas on the topic.

Carolyn Canfield will be joining us as a guest to share her personal story on patient safety!
