Elder Care Ethics Committee
The Elder Care Ethics Committee
The joint Providence Health Care/Vancouver Coastal Health Elder Care Ethics Committee (ECEC) is a unique initiative combining PHC and VCH interdisciplinary staff and community membership.
The first ECEC meeting was held in October 2015. The ECEC serves all settings that provide care to seniors in PHC and VCH Vancouver proper (not including the North Shore or Richmond).
The Committee’s mandate includes:
- Case consultation (written recommendations are made)
- Staff education
- Policy and guideline review
Requests for consults, education, and policy review are welcome from PHC and VCH Staff and Physicians, patients/clients/residents/family members, and affiliated VCH facilities operating in Vancouver.
The ECEC meets monthly but will call extra meetings should there be an urgent request. Please contact one of the PHC ethicists to access the ECEC for a consult, education request, or policy concern.
