Facility Engagement
Facility Engagement gives Dawson Creek physicians time and support to work with colleagues and Northern Health on changes that improve their workplace and patient care.
What Is Facility Engagement?
Facility Engagement is a province-wide initiative of the Specialist Services Committee. In Dawson Creek, its funding can help cover eligible physician time, administrative support, and physician-led projects.
Our Work in Dawson Creek
Welcoming New Physicians
A hospital visit gives prospective physicians a chance to see where they’d work and meet the people they’d work with. The MSA helps arrange those visits and welcomes new physicians as they settle into practice in Dawson Creek.
Connecting With Colleagues
The physician lounge gives colleagues a place to catch up between shifts or talk through a question. The MSA helps maintain the lounge and brings medical staff together outside their day-to-day work.
Working With Northern Health and Local Partners
When medical staff identify a shared concern or an idea for improving care, the MSA brings it to hospital and Northern Health leaders. The MSA also works with the South Peace Division of Family Practice and other medical staff associations on issues they have in common.
Propose a Project
MSA members can submit a proposal for Facility Engagement funding at any time of year. Still working out the details? Share your idea with the MSA instead.
Projects may qualify for funding if they do one or more of the following:
Improve communication among medical staff so their views are better represented.
Bring attention to issues that significantly affect physicians and patient care.
Help medical staff shape or carry out health authority plans that directly affect physicians.
Give medical staff and health authority leaders a way to work through shared issues.
Share Your Ideas
Tell the MSA what’s working at Dawson Creek & District Hospital and what could improve. Ideas are welcome at any stage, and you can share your feedback anonymously.
Nominate a Colleague
Did someone lend a hand on a busy shift, take time to teach, or help your team through a difficult day? Send a short note to thank them and the MSA will pass it along.
