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.
