Need
VCH wanted to validate its goals and assumptions about strategic initiatives through a wider community to further refine the planning process.
Outcome
A two-week consultation resulted in a 67 percent response rate, with high commenting activity that resulted in clear guidance from an engaged group of stakeholders.
Designing successful health care programs requires the wisdom and feedback that only patients and communities can provide.
In this project by Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, British Columbia’s largest health
body, collaborated with service providers, patients, and care-givers.
Together, they helped refine a critical set of programs aimed at supporting mental health for youth.
