Emergency Care BC (ECBC) supports safe, effective discharge practices in emergency departments across BC. General, non-emergency-specific patient information sheets are being retired to allow ECBC to focus on emergency‑specific discharge tools and conversations.

We are seeking your input about which ECBC Provincial Emergency Patient Information Resources (PEPIRs) are regularly accessed and should be considered for updating and future retention.

For up-to-date patient information sheets, consider the following sources:

• HealthLink BC (multiple languages available)
• Fraser Health Patient Education Catalogue (multiple languages available)
• TREKK – Parents and Families (pediatric specific)
• UpToDate – Patient Education (requires BC health authority or subscription access)
• Elsevier Skills – Patient Education (requires BC health authority or subscription access)

Your input is needed

We are seeking your input to help determine which discharge resources sheets should be retained. Specifically, we’d like to identify which ECBC Provincial Emergency Patient Information Resources (PEPIR):

• are regularly used in practice

• do not have an equivalent resource elsewhere (e.g., HealthLink BC)

• would warrant ongoing maintenance and updating

Please email your feedback to ECBCED@phsa.ca  by June 30, 2026

For questions, to request archived ECBC materials and to identify which sheets to retain, contact ecbc@phsa.ca.
