Client & Family Centred Care Steering Committee
The Steering Committee was established in 2007 to lead the regional implementation of Client & Family Centred Care. To this end the committee produced a strategic framework (PDF) which outlines the goals, strategic drivers, elements and outcomes. This document is now being transformed into action throughout the organization.
The function of the CFCC Steering Team is to:
- Identify client and family centred care priorities (as identified on CFCC framework) and develop corresponding action plans;
- Develop and monitor key measures and outcomes related to client and family centred care;
- Collaborate with regional governance committees, operational committees and department committees, affiliates and community partners to improve client and family centred care;
- Maintain registry of all CFCC-related activities and resources;
- Build awareness and skills among Steering Team members to enable them to carry out their advisory and coordinating roles.
Membership is comprised of client & family representatives, physicians and Saskatoon Health Region staff.
