Call for Submissions
The Task Force invites submissions from interested groups, agencies, health
care professionals, employees, patients, clients and members of the public.
Questions
Submission should address the following questions, or generally relate to the Task Force Terms of Reference.
How can we improve the current approach used by our health and community
services system to manage adverse events? In particular, are there gaps in
how the system identifies, assesses, discloses, and takes action on adverse
events? Are there gaps in how the system coordinates and communicates when
it is managing an adverse event?
