Allie Muniak
Allison (“Allie”) Muniak is the Executive Director of Health System Improvement at Health Quality BC, where she leads provincial efforts to advance quality, safety, and patient-centred care. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Calgary and a Master of Applied Science in Human Factors Engineering from the University of Toronto. Prior to joining HQBC, Allie served as Executive Director of Quality & Patient Safety and Infection Prevention & Control at Vancouver Coastal Health. Throughout her career, she has brought human factors thinking directly to the frontlines—observing hundreds of surgical cases to understand how teams truly use safety checklists, and listening to frontline nurses whose insights ultimately contributed to a global infusion tubing recall. Allie is passionate about building cultures where people feel safe to speak up and helping healthcare systems move from policies to meaningful, sustained improvement.
