Description

The Minister of Health established the Health System Governance Review Task Force in July 2012 to explore ways of improving governance of the health system without structural change. Alberta Health has the largest single budget within the Government of Alberta, and Alberta Health Services is the government’s largest agency. The sheer size of and impact on Albertans of these organizations make it critical that all parties strive for excellence in their governance practices. This report contains the findings and recommendations of the Task Force. Recommendations focus around three main themes: clear roles and responsibilities for all parties involved in Alberta's health care system; close and effective collaboration between the Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services; and the full engagement of physicians in the health care system.
