Guidance tree for handling events within the BCPSLS

2025-08-27

Since 2020, British Columbia has been electronically transferring
radiation treatment safety event data to NSIR-RT following the
implementation of a formal data-sharing agreement between CIHI and
the BC Patient Safety and Learning System (BCPSLS).

To support accurate data entry, BC has developed several procedural
resources including a guidance tree used for handling events within
the BCPSLS. This resource is shared here for reference purposes.

Note: In April 2026, the management and operations of the NSIR-RT transitioned from CIHI to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices Canada (ISMP Canada).
