24/7 TELE-HEALTH SERVICE ENHANCEMENT FOUNDATIONS
In 2005, the Pallium Project assigned Project Officer Jacquie Beasse to work with program leaders of major urban palliative and end-of-life service programs in western Canada. Together they established an applied planning framework for integrating Hospice Palliative Care tele-nursing protocols within existing provincial tele-outreach delivery systems (e.g., nurse line, healthline, healthlink). This work built on early exemplars in the lower BC mainland and Regina, Saskatchewan. In 2007, the B.C. team was awarded a provincial Excellence in BC Healthcare Award in the Collaborative Solutions category for their early development leadership, including acknowledgement of their inter-provincial collaboration. .pdf (30 KB)
