Residents in British Columbia are no strangers to wildfires which have increased in number and ferocity over recent years. But when an out-of-control wildfire threatens a town, its residents and its healthcare facilities, it rapidly turns into a nightmare come true. The sudden need for healthcare facility evacuation is a recipe for potential chaos and confusion and poses increased risks for patients and care home residents. To talk about their amazing and award-winning Quality Improvement work in reducing the risks of emergency healthcare facility evacuation are today’s guests from Health Emergency Management BC (HEM BC) Gloria Hertz and John Coyne.

Other abbreviations mentioned in this episode are IIHAR (Inter and Intra Health Authority Relocation), HSDA (Health Services Delivery Area), ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support), BCEHS (British Columbia Emergency Health Services – formally BC Ambulance Services) and PHSA (Provincial Health Services Authority).
