The Family Voice on Stollery Quality Councils
| 
The goal of the Quality Councils is to deliver better quality, better outcomes and better value to patients at the Stollery Children's Hospital. Quality Councils across the hospital are a venue for front-line teams to participate in quality planning, quality monitoring and quality improvement.
We are fortunate to have several family members sitting on quality councils at the Stollery. A special thank you to our Family Centred Care Network Members:
- Karen Calhoun, Surgical Quality Council
- Anne-Marie Paquin and Ashley Volkerink, Ambulatory Quality Council
- Amanda Moon, Stollery Quality Council (CHIPS)
- Donald Lepp and Rossella Trulli, PICU/PCICU Quality Council
- Ian Mathieson and Raya Owen, NICU Quality Council (CPQI)
- Nicole Lyste, Medicine Quality Council
Having families at the table on these important quality improvement initiatives is very important to ensuring the patient and family voice remains at the centre of care at the Stollery. If you would like to read more about the Alberta Health Services "Patient First Strategy" you can find that here.
We are also looking for more volunteers to sit on the Medicine Quality Council Unit (4E4 and 5G4). The Medicine Quality Council meets every 1st Thursday of the month from 2:00 pm- 3:00 pm. Are/were you a patient or family member with experience on a medicine ward at the Stollery and:
- a big picture thinker;
- able to share your story and personal experience in a constructive manner;
- able to represent the family perspective (beyond your own personal experience) in an informed manner and able to solicit input as required; and
- have previous experience, or interested in learning about process review, quality improvement, or planning.
This might be a great volunteer opportunity for you, if you are interested please contact Christie.

 Office of Undergraduate Medical Education, Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, is looking for volunteers to meet with medical students and share their experiences of life with chronic illness. By volunteering you can make an important
contribution to improving medical education and patient care.
Who is eligible? Patients with chronic illness and regular contact with the healthcare system who live within a 40 km radius of the University of Alberta.
What will I do? Once every two months, you will visit with students in your home to talk about your experiences as a patient. Once per year, the students will accompany you to a medical appointment.
What are the benefits? As a mentor, you have a unique opportunity to participate in and influence medical education. Your contribution will help future doctors better

Survey for CHILD BRIGHT project

 Strategy for Patient Oriented Research through the Canadian Institute of Health Research would like your help with their CHILD BRIGHT project. By participating in a survey to help guide a group of health professionals, families, scientists and administrators from across Canada about a research program that will focus on improving the lives of children and youth with developmental disabilities and their families.

We aim to conduct research which helps people with or at risk for intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, developmental coordination disorder, spina bifida, or genetic syndromes with brain malformations, among others.
We want to be sure we are asking the right research questions that can make a difference in the lives of children with developmental disabilities and their families. Your opinion is extremely valued.
This is your opportunity to provide your opinion on what kind of research is important to you. Click here for more information.
The survey is anonymous and confidential.
Many thanks for your participation!
