What does our Vision mean?
Our vision is about so much more than just new, modern buildings. Or ‘improving’ on what we do now.
We’re taking a giant leap forward. The new St. Paul’s Hospital will embody new models of value-based health care and define, in partnership with patients, the future of patient-centred care.
Care that’s high quality, highly integrated, but still compassionate.
We’re aiming high. We’re transforming health care.
“If
we get care models right for our patients - with all of their social and medical complexity; urban and rural; specialist and local –we get it right for the world”
Fiona Dalton Providence President & CEO
What will our Vision achieve?
By committing to being the best in patient-centred care, research, education and innovation in every role and every department, we’ll transform care for Providence’s patients, and for people around the world .
And we’ll be recognized as a global leader, fulfilling our Mission: Forward strategic plan and remaining true to our PHC Mission and Vision.
Why do we need to change?
Our system doesn’t work well enough, especially for those patients who can easily fall through the cracks. We must do better for and with patients.
Our health care system is not sustainable — it costs a lot, and the number of patients with complex conditions, multiple chronic diseases or who are frail and elderly continues to grow.
As the world and our population changes, the people we serve expect us to learn, adapt, evolve, and lead to meet their health care needs. This is our opportunity to be bold, proactive and transform health care.
This is our time to lead change in the health care system!
What happens if we don’t change?
If we don’t change we fail patients, ourselves, and our founding sisters.
And we break trust with the taxpayers of BC.
We will lose what makes us unique, our voice in advocating for patients, and our ability to attract and retain the best in health care .
We would waste the most significant opportunity a BC hospital has ever had to sustainably improve health care and lead innovation.
What are our next steps towards our Vision?
We need to define and evolve our clinical, research and operational models.
Each team, with their patient partners, cares for unique patient groups and will base their new care models on evidence and leading practice.
We need the new hospital to support these new models of care. And so, until early 2023, the building’s detailed design will be completed. At the same time, we’ll be moving forward with planning and design for the Clinical Support and Research Centre (CSRC).
Some decisions have been made. But much remains to be decided .
We encourage you to talk to your leaders about how you can get involved.
