The Task Force on Adverse Health Events

The Task Force has been asked by government to examine how the health and community services system in Newfoundland and Labrador manages adverse events. The Task Force will examine how the system identifies, assesses, discloses, takes action, communicates and evaluates with respect to adverse events.

The Task Force will assess the current practices within Newfoundland and Labrador, look at best practices across Canada, identify case studies, interview experts, consult closely with regional health authorities and stakeholders, and hold a forum to synthesize views and perspectives on the issues.
