Patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) are some of the heaviest users of western healthcare resources and particularly emergency departments. Effective treatments for alcohol use disorder have recently become available but only a very small proportion of eligible AUD receive treatment. To talk about their excellent quality improvement work in identifying eligible AUD patients and directing them towards appropriate care from the emergency department, are our two guests today, Dr. Aron Zuidhof, Medical Director for Emergency Services in Interior Health and Dorrie Fasick , Transformational Lead for the Interior Health Emergency Services Network.

British Columbia’s Physician Quality Improvement (PQI) program celebrates its 8th birthday this year.

Today’s guest is a giant and well-respected figure in British Columbian Emergency Medicine. In addition to his many research and quality improvement projects, Dr. Jim Christenson helped create the British Columbia Emergency Medicine Network improving the quality of emergency care across the province.

Each year, the Institute of Healthcare Improvement holds its annual forum in December. Over 4 days, between 3 to 4 thousand healthcare quality improvers from across the world join together for a packed program of workshops, QI project reports, improvement science education and keynote lectures from renown speakers. This year, a large contingent of Canadians made the trip including some from Northern British Columbia so we decided to bring these Northern Physicians together for a fun panel discussion about their experiences and what they learned from this year’s forum. This is the recording of that discussion moderated by our regular Qualitycast North host Dr. Shyr Chui. We talk about our key takeaways, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s keynote, power networking and tips for first-time forum attendees.

If you’re ever tempted to think medicine is practised the same everywhere in British Columbia, think again. Small rural communities present specific challenges to healthcare delivery due to their size and location, no more so than in the North where we also have long, snowy winters to contend with. That’s not to say that rural care can’t be high quality care. Providing valuable insights into rural family practice is today’s guest Dr. Ray Markham. This interview was so good we split it into two separate episodes. In this first part, Ray talks about his rural, generalist practice in Valemount, how to promote good teamwork and the unsung benefits of working in rural medicine. Links: Partnership Pentagram RCCbc…

We talk about the challenges patients experience in accessing care in the North before the conversation takes a lighthearted turn towards the pros and cons of living and working in the north, craft beer and a novel way to get your triathlon track times down.…
We’ve showcased a lot of excellent physician-led quality improvement work on this podcast with its corresponding positive impact on patient care.

In this episode we discuss career paths, purpose, rediscovering joy in our work and “slow medicine”. Links: Northern Health PQI Spreading Quality Improvement | SSC…
Recruitment and retention of front-line staff is a major challenge across healthcare systems globally right now, and no more so than in small, rural communities across Northern British Columbia. Today’s guest Dr. Kate Niethammer, a rural GP and obstetrician based in Smithers, BC, explains how she, using a QI approach and asking what mattered to them, was able to reverse nurse shortages and help re-establish full staffing levels in her unit. In this episode we talk about the benefits of living in the North and the universal power of pizza.

When improving or making changes to the way organizations provide health care, it often seems the last person consulted is the patient themselves. This seemingly perverse order of priority is a lingering throwback to a more historical and paternalistic model of care. One person looking to change this is today’s guest Kim Eggers, the Patient Partner Advisor for Northern Health’s Physician Quality Improvement program. In this episode we learn about Kim’s background, her motivation for patient advocacy and her vision for the co-creation of health care services.

1 S3 Ep8: Mind Space. Building successful skills for wellbeing across British Columbia with Dr. Fiona Petigara 23:20
According to Statistics Canada, Canada is currently experiencing a huge increase in unmet mental health needs. The prevalence of anxiety, depression and social phobia have jumped since the Covid pandemic. How can our health systems cope with this surge in demand for mental health services when the medical community itself is in crisis with physician shortages and burnout commonplace? Well, there’s good news in British Columbia. A hugely successful, community-based, mental health service based on in-person and virtual group medical visits is spreading throughout the province. It’s called Mind Space and, in this episode, we interview one of it’s founders, Dr. Fiona Petigara, about its origins, how it operates and why it’s been so successful. More information about Mind Space for interested patients and physicians can be found on their website at https://mind-space.ca and the BC Medical Journal at https://bcmj.org/shared-care/cbt-skills-spread-initiative-building-program-support-doctor-and-patient-mental-health…
