British Columbia healthcare providers are actively exploring ways to implement quality improvement practices across our healthcare system. This ground-breaking work involves new and innovative approaches to healthcare delivery that are critical to the sustainability of a healthy and vital healthcare system.

Impact BC is a not-for-profit organization specifically established to work across BC's health system in support of system improvement and transformation. We represent a strategic alliance between BC's Ministry of Health Services, the BCMA and provincial health authorities that supports health system quality improvement.

In collaboration with our partners, we are building capacity for continuous learning and improvement that optimizes opportunities for sharing knowledge and experiences and for celebrating successes as we move forward through system transformation.

A primary, but not exclusive, focus of our work is primary care and chronic conditions.

Our commitment

We are committed to improving the health of patients and communities and the professional satisfaction of healthcare providers. We believe that implementing best practices through continuous learning and improvement can help achieve:

• Activated individuals and communities
• Improved patient self-management
• Patients and families as partners in care
• Delivery system redesign
• Better clinical information and decision support systems

We are establishing cross-sector partnerships with a broad coalition of key stakeholders within and outside the healthcare system to improve patient and population health outcomes, such as:

• Improved access
• Increased patient and provider satisfaction
• Better population health outcomes at a reasonable cost
