I believe patients should always be at the centre of everything we do. My vision for BC Renal in the late 1990s was to create a network that brought together all the components that support best practice care: partnerships with the regional programs that deliver care, multidisciplinary provincial committees that develop standards and guidelines, as well as robust research and knowledge translation. Also very important in this best practice mix are a data-driven information system, analytics that measure and report on patient and system outcomes, a patient-centred funding model, and cost-saving provincial contracts for equipment, supplies and medications. We're always a work in progress, but I'm proud of what we've achieved together over the past two decades plus.
