SHOP is the central access point for policies and decision support tools- such as guidelines, clinical procedures, protocols and standards - for Providence Health Care (PHC), Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) and Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH).
Creating a “one-stop SHOP” is our goal, however not all policies and decision support tools are available on SHOP at this time. Access other Health Organization
(or VCH/PHC/PHSA) resources if you can’t find a document on SHOP. See the “Quick Links” and “Links and Resources” section for frequently referenced material.
NOTE: Ensure that you are familiar with the location of other clinical resources including unit-specific documents before coming on shift. In an emergent situation, check with your unit/work area for the location of these documents.
