BCAAFC has partnered with the Safespace Network pilot project to give Indigenous patients across BC the ability to safely and anonymously submit their healthcare experiences. BC Friendship Centres across the province will be next to host the web app. The Safespace web app can be accessed at http://safespace.healthcare/bcaafc, or under Report Racism with Safespace on the top menu bar of the BCAAFC website.... Over time your experiences and ratings will help Safespace Networks discover patterns of care across BC. Validated patterns will be used to help Indigenous patients make more informed choices on how to access care and to help health systems make better decisions about health system design.
