report, prepared by a multidisciplinary team of
patients, community representatives, doctors,
nurses, and allied health professionals, reflects
the discussions during a series of eight meetings
held between November 1996 and April 1997. Twenty
patient services planning panels, each looking at
different service groupings, were created by the
Patient Services Steering Committee (PSSC) to

consolidated vision of the McGill University
Health Centre (MUHC). The process was structured
to focus the recommendations for service delivery
on the needs of the patient and family.

about the arrangements made for the transfer of

evidence about optimal practice. The present
study will help to fill this gap in knowledge.
