About the Community Engagement Advisory Network (CEAN)
Formed in 2009, the VCH Community Engagement Advisory Network (CEAN, pronounced keen) is a group of public volunteers (patients, clients & family members) who are engaged in quality improvement with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH).
CEAN members and their families receive healthcare in the areas that VCH serves and help us consider the patient and family member perspective when we are planning our services.
The common driver in all the projects involving CEAN members is that patient and public input improves the decisions we make, the quality of care, and ultimately, health outcomes.
Why do CEAN members get involved?
To make a difference by helping to improve healthcare
To share their knowledge and experienceTo meet others who want to influence change
To have opportunities to learn new skills and use their existing skills
To be part of an award-winning network
How do CEAN members get involved?
