The BCMA is currently working on the following four policy papers with intent of public release and promotion to the government. 1. Informal Caregivers: it is anticipated that this policy paper will make recommendations to stakeholders, including government, aimed at increasing supports for informal caregivers. 2. Measurement and Quality Improvement in BC's Health Care System: it is anticipated that this policy will inform government of physicians' perspective on features and benefits of a robust measurement and continuous quality improvement culture in BC. 3. Physician Autonomy: this policy and subsequent lobbying efforts will be aimed at informing government what physicians mean by the term "physician autonomy" and explain why physician autonomy is fundamental to the provision of quality care. 4. Physician Safety: this policy paper will highlight the importance of ensuring physician safety in clinical settings and protection against violence. It is anticipated that the paper and lobbying efforts will call on others to include physician perspective when identifying risks and designing prevention/education initiatives.
