  • Facilitates effective triaging of complaints, determines appropriate action, and timely follow-up in response to patient/family complaints or related situations.
  • Assists in the maintenance and development of client feedback information management systems, ensuring that client feedback is documented, the status of investigation and resolution is monitored, and activities and outcomes are analyzed and reported for accountability and improvement purposes.
  • Serves as a liaison between patients/families and the organization and the community, with a focus on Indigenous patients/families and Indigenous communities, assisting patients/families to know and understand their rights and responsibilities and to navigate through the organization's processes.
  • Remains current on relevant legislation, regulations, standards, and common law, collaborating with other departments such as Legal Services, Information, Access & Privacy, and Risk Management.
  • Provides and facilitates education opportunities for key stakeholders and staff about the unique experiences and priorities of Indigenous patients/families and the requirement of enhancing cultural safety and humility throughout complaints processes.

Requirements:
