Provincial government launches review to inform healthcare refocusing process
In an effort to ensure that the level of care in new provincial health agencies meets expected standards and puts patients first after roles are restructured, the province is launching a Seamless Patient Experience Review.
Officials say that Albertans expect the new system to offer improved outcomes and performance, such as access to consistent, appropriate, and efficient care across different sectors.
The review is meant to ensure these goals are met and will be led by Dr. Lyle Oberg, who will provide recommendations to the Integration Council on the implementation of a smooth patient experience in the context of a refocused health care system, representatives add.
“When we began refocusing the health-care system, we said that improving the patient journey would be at the centre of this work. I am confident Dr. Oberg will provide insightful recommendations that will support the overall efforts to improve healthcare for all Albertans,” says Minister of Health Adriana LaGrange.
