Award-winning guidebooks

I helped create two guides for health care leaders to use during wildfires, floods, or other emergencies. In April 2021, they won a BC Health Care Award of Merit for Top Innovation from the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA). The guides:

• Complete Facility Transfer to a Different Community focuses on moving patients out of harm’s way
• Receiving Relocated Patients from Another Facility/Community helps facilities plan for accepting evacuees. 

My role: I edited the guides, provided high-level advice to the Health Emergency Management BC team on look and feel, and worked with a graphic designer to achieve the desired end result.
