[LEARN MORE](https://www.bcpcm.ca/who-we-are?hsLang=en) ## Patient-Centred Measurement Understanding self-reported satisfaction, experiences, and health-related quality of life of the people who use healthcare services is a strategic priority for our health system. 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 13 sectors, including patient perspectives about care in all Emergency Departments, Acute Care hospitals, Long Term Residential Care homes, Mental Health and Substance Use Care, and Outpatient Cancer Care.  [LEARN MORE](https://www.bcpcm.ca/surveysold?hsLang=en) ## LATEST REPORTS [VIEW PAST SURVEYS](https://www.bcpcm.ca/surveysold?hsLang=en) ## [Emergency Department Sector Survey](https://www.bcpcm.ca/hubfs/BCPCM_January2022/Pdf/ED%20(2018)%20EHS%20Report_v6_Feb2019.pdf?hsLang=en) Jan 2018 - Mar 2018 BC Emergency Health Services ## [Acute Inpatient](https://www.bcpcm.ca/hubfs/Provincial%20Storyboard.pdf?hsLang=en) Sep 2016 - Mar 2017 Provincial Report ## [Long-Term Care Sector Survey](https://www.bcpcm.ca/hubfs/BCPCM_January2022/Pdf/Provincial-Results-Final-HQ.pdf?hsLang=en) Sep 2016 - May 2017 Provincial Report ## Tools and Resources We have developed and continue to evolve a suite of resources to support building capacity to use patient-centred measurement data.
