A Look Back at Our First Five Years of the Quality Forum

In 2011 the Council saw an opportunity to bring together those working to make health care better in British Columbia. If there was a way to share approaches to improving quality of care, and learn from others, change throughout the province’s health care system could be accelerated.

So we began planning what would become Quality Forum 2012. We were amazed by the event’s energy as people made new connections and strengthened existing ones, and we were invigorated as the health care system united to solve common problems and achieve shared objectives.

Now an annual conference, the Quality Forum has sold out in each of its five years while more than doubling in size. This report highlights many of the outcomes that it has achieved along the way.
