For the past six years she has devoted her efforts to improving the system as a dedicated volunteer to inform and inspire patient engagement in healthcare improvement and to promote patient safety locally and internationally. The Canadian Patient Safety Institute and Accreditation Canada are pleased to recognize Carolyn Canfield as the individual recipient of the Canadian Patient Safety Champion Award for 2014.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\" style=\"color: #576170;\">What distinguishes Carolyn\u2019s efforts is that her personal motivation comes from her compassion for those providing care and the challenges they face every day. One of her nominee\u2019s, Joanne Archer (BC Provincial Health Services Authority), says that Carolyn honours the professions and acknowledges that healthcare workers are caring people inside a complex, difficult environment. \u201cCarolyn steadfastly focuses her efforts at collaborative system reform and support for, rather than persecution of, healthcare providers,\u201d says Joanne Archer. \u201cCarolyn\u2019s translation of a tragic loss and failed accountability into a passion for patient safety and voluntary career committed to collaboration speaks profoundly of her innate leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul class=\"MailOutline\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca\/English\/news\/PatientSafetyNews\/Pages\/Canadas-Forum-Reflections-and-Opportunities-for-Patient-Safety.aspx?utm_source=mailoutinteractive&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Happy%2010th%20Birthday%20CPSI!\/Joyeux%2010e%20anniversaire%20%C3%A0%20l%E2%80%99ICSP\">day\u2019s summary<\/a>\u00a0of Canada\u2019s Forum on Patient Safety and Quality Improvement w\/photo of individual and organization award winners<\/li>\n<li>description of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca\/English\/news\/PatientChampionAwards\/Pages\/default.aspx\">awards<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Carolyn\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca\/English\/News\/PatientSafetyNews\/Pages\/Carolyn-Canfield-2014-Canadian-Patient-Safety-Champion.aspx\">profile<\/a>\u00a0as Champion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations: Carolyn is an honary lecturer in our department and I am delighted she has been given this award.
