BCEHS supports research to improve best practices and policies in pre-hospital care.
All BCEHS-affiliated out-of-hospital research projects must go through several review steps. These reviews make sure each project meets high standards for ethics, accountability and operational requirements.
Each research study is different. Start by working with the BCEHS research lead, who chairs the BCEHS Research Evaluation Committee.
The committee meets regularly. It reviews project requests, and approves them or recommends them for senior leadership review.
Before the committee can consider your project or grant access to BCEHS data, you must submit the following documents:
Reviews can take six weeks or longer. Timelines depend on:
- The schedule of monthly committee meetings
- How complete the initial application is
- The level of risk and potential impact to BCEHS
If you use BCEHS data, you must share the completed research and results with BCEHS.
If you plan to publish the results, BCEHS must be included as a contributor and named as an author.
