What happens after a peer assessment
Quality improvement approach
CPSBC recognizes that all licensees are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care. The pursuit of quality is a continuous process. Quality improvement focuses on a culture of reflection, learning, and continual practice improvement to strengthen patient care.
The Practice Enhancement Program (PEP) includes several assessments that support licensees’ quality improvement.
