What Matters to You?

“What Matters to You?” is a simple question that can have a big impact on the quality of care. When providers have a conversation about what really matters to the people they care for, it helps them to perform their work more effectively and to provide care that is patient- and family-centred. To support health care providers in this work, we launched a provincial initiative with a simple question aimed at ensuring that care is aligned with what matters to patients and their families.
