NACOP Webinar - Reducing Physician Administrative Burden in the BC Health System - 4th December
Administrative burden continues to be a significant challenge for care providers, affecting their wellbeing and limiting the time and energy they can devote to patients. Building on the highly regarded session delivered at this year’s Quality Forum, this webinar will explore practical strategies to identify, understand, and reduce unnecessary administrative tasks across the health system.
Kate McCammon and Leanne Griffiths, Strategic Initiatives Leads in Health System Improvement at Health Quality BC, will present an adapted version of their interactive Quality Forum session on human-level and system-level administrative burden. Participants will gain insight into how administrative tasks accumulate, how they impact providers, and what tools and approaches can support meaningful reduction and elimination of these burdens in their own settings.
Joining them for this expanded webinar are Liana Silver, Director of Negotiations & Agreements Strategy in the Ministry of Health’s Physician Services Branch, and Rob Hulyk, Vice President of Advocacy & Government Relations at Doctors of BC. As Co-Chairs of the Administrative Burdens Working Group, Liana and Rob bring complementary perspectives from both the Ministry and physician communities. They will help situate the discussion in current provincial efforts, provide context around ongoing negotiations and system-level initiatives, and address participant questions from policy, operational, and practitioner viewpoints.
This session will be valuable for clinicians, administrators, system leaders, and anyone working to improve workflows, reduce burnout, and strengthen the quality of care.
