EPISODE #9 - Aired on Wednesday May 9, 2007

This week's show focuses on partnerships between those who deliver health services and the people they serve. Find out why the health region has developed the 'medication reconciliation' program encouraging clients to provide a list of all of their medications including prescription, over-the-counter, herbal remedies, supplements and vitamins to their health care providers. Learn how the health region is moving towards more of a 'client and family centred model' and asking clients to help shape the face of health care. Find out how the health region's Client Representatives ensure clients' voices are heard. Meet this week's guests who know first-hand the challenges of coping with serious medical situations and who give advice on how to improve the partnership between client and health care providers; and our 'Doctor on Call' will answer your health-related questions.

Appearing in this week's segments are Rosemarie Gray, BSN, RN, Clinical Nurse Educator, Medication Reconciliation; Connie Spehar, RN, Pre-Assessment Unit and Same Day Surgery Unit; Maura Davies, President and Chief Executive Officer; Dr. Kishore Visvanathan, Urologist; Betty Boechler, Director, Maternal and Children Health Services; Linda Maerz, Client Representative; Ryan Sidorchuk, Leader, Patient Voice Facilitation, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority; Dr. Roy Chernoff, Family Physician and many community members.
