The evolution of health towards an integrated system focused on individual and community wellbeing is a challenge of global importance and urgency. 

UBC Health supports this transformation by facilitating and encouraging effective advocacy for continuous improvement in the health ecosystem. We work with health sector partners across British Columbia to enable dialogue, activate assets, and advance policies and innovations to improve health systems at individual and community levels. 

Health Systems Advisory Committee

The Health Systems Advisory Committee (HSAC) leverages the convening power of UBC Health to facilitate dialogue and collaborations across partners in the learning community – academia, health administrators, policymakers, communities, health professionals, and linked sectors. Catalyzing meaningful collaboration through this advisory committee will facilitate inclusive and coordinated engagement with practitioners, communities, and policymakers to influence better health in BC.

The HSAC faciliated an engagement process with healthcare users, healthcare providers, administrators, and academics across British Columbia to provide input on priorities for improving health in BC. Read more. 

TBC @ UBC Network

The TBC @ UBC Network supports the primary healthcare transformation in BC with education, research, evaluation, and knowledge translation. The network engages health professionals, health leaders, academics, policymakers, funding agencies, patients, and communities throughout BC to discuss and learn from each other about the on-the-ground needs, opportunities, and challenges regarding team-based care design, research/evidence, pedagogy, policy, and integration.
