Cultural safety standard will force health care accountability for Indigenous peoples in B.C.
By Odette Auger, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Windspeaker.com
This partnership began in 2018, said Dr. Nel Wieman, , the deputy chief medical officer at FNHA. She co-chaired the technical committee that created the new CSHS standard. For this reason, First Nations health professionals, with input from community chiefs, led the development of the new standard.Representatives from the Patient Voices Network were included on technical committee. The committee reviewed 1,100 statements from Indigenous people in B.C., health organizations and health professionals.
Part of the work was moving from a reference standard to an assessment standard. As Wieman explains, “there aren’t any teeth, so to speak, in a reference standard. is asking organizations to take a hard look at their organization and see where they sit in terms of cultural safety.” Wieman just finished serving a six-year term as the president of the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada, and notes that just because these organizations exist, not all physicians may register. She observes “there is no really good or accurate tracking of the number of Indigenous physicians, from where I sit.”
