Does your health or social care team want to improve access to care? What if you had funding, expert support, practical tools, and a network of peers to help you get there?

Patient engagement resources are everywhere — but finding a tool that’s actually used by both staff and patient partners is far more rare.

Is your long-term care (LTC) home working to reduce antipsychotic use for residents without a diagnosis of psychosis? Whether you’re just getting started or building on existing work, Healthcare Excellence Canada’s (HEC) Sparking Change in the Appropriate Use of Antipsychotics (AUA) Awards Program is designed to make a meaningful impact in your home.

Safer care doesn’t happen by chance — it’s something we create together.

Last year, Healthcare Excellence Canada (HEC) had the privilege to work with hundreds of teams who are rethinking how care is delivered. But we all need to go further so that safe, high-quality healthcare is the norm everywhere, for everyone. That’s why we’re launching Care Forward, a pan-Canadian movement to connect changemakers, scale what works, and support people delivering care. We’re aiming to improve outcomes for at least one million people.

Teams across Canada are taking bold steps to reimagine how care is delivered: breaking down silos, coordinating across sectors, and working with patients and communities to put their needs at the center.
