Join the Health Council of Canada as well as patients, health care practitioners, and government leaders as they discuss how patient engagement can be successfully used as a means of improving the health care system. Discussion will focus on the benefits and need to shift from provider-focused to patient-centred care. “Patients as Partners” will deliver a presentation about transforming how patients in British Columbia work with physician and other health care providers, their communities, and health system administrators to manage their care. An open question and answer session will follow.
