The monthly E-News shares provincial program information and updates about the Facility Engagement (FE) initiative. As this information will be of interest to Medical Staff Association (MSA) support teams, please feel free to forward the newsletter to your MSA executives as needed.
New: FEMS Support
We are excited to announce that Rajwinder Kaur has joined the FEMS support team. Rajwinder will be working with Maria Chessari to provide support to our FEMS users.
Rajwinder has a Master of Technology degree with a specialization in software systems. Along with the passion for programming and developing new software products, she also has a keen interest in network administration and hardware assembly. Before joining Doctors of BC, she worked with an aerospace company to manage and administer the company’s website, software products, databases, and network resources.
For support on your FEMS questions, please email fesmsupport@doctorsofbc.ca.
Website Update: Governance Guidebook
In May, we introduced a new Joint Collaborative Committees (JCC) governance resource called Governance Fundamentals Guidebook, available on the Facility Engagement website. The document explains the fundamentals regarding governance and how to become an effective contributor as a member of a governance table. To make it easier for users to access the information, as needed, within the guidebook, the website now shows a list of content that hyperlinks to specific sections within the guidebook.
A short PowerPoint presentation is also available on the website that describes the purpose of the Governance Fundamentals Guidebook that can be used to introduce and generate interest in the publication.
Stay tuned for details about a webinar on the guidebook coming this summer.
If you have any questions about this guidebook, please reach out to your Engagement Partner.

Did you know...? In both common and leap years, no other month begins on the same day of the week as June. Weird, isn’t it?
Do you have ideas on future e-news topics?
