Mission & Vision
Our mission is: To make health care safer for all British Columbians by fostering a culture of safety, shared learning and continuous system improvement.
Our vision is: Safe health care for BC: No needless harm.
Who We Are
BC Patient Safety & Learning System (BCPSLS) is a web-based tool used by approximately 100,000 health care providers across BC to report and learn about patient safety events, near misses and hazards. BCPSLS has fostered improvements in patient safety and quality of care in all health care settings since its inception in 2008.
Today, we are focused on streamlining data collection and output, enhancing learning across our health care system and improving the quality of our modules and tools.
What We Do
Over 400 safety event reports are submitted to BCPSLS each day from across the province. This data is allowing us to identify safety concerns and target quality and safety improvements where they’re needed most. To date, over one million safety event reports are in the BCPSLS database. Data summaries provide a rich basis for learning and improvement to over 10,000 healthcare leaders across BC.
