The measurement of patient experiences and outcomes gives those who use our healthcare services in BC a voice in evaluating the quality and safety of their care and is a means to evaluate our progress towards providing care that is patient-centred. ## Surveys Since 2003, we have received feedback from more than 1 million users of health care services in BC. We have supported surveys across many sectors, including patient perspectives about  Emergency Departments, Acute Care hospitals (including specific modules of questions to explore maternity, pediatric, rehabilitation, surgical, and other experiences), Long Term Care homes (including  residents and family/most frequent visitors feedback), Mental Health and Substance Use Care, Outpatient Cancer Care, and Surgical Services (pre- and post-op evaluations).
