Description

In the Spring of 2005, the provincial government hosted a symposium on health care and followed this up with a province-wide consultation to discuss how to improve Alberta’s health system. This was followed with the development of a series of action items in the Getting on with Better Health Care package. A Health Policy Framework was released in February 2006, to provide clear and consistent direction in health care reform. This document presents a revised version of the Health Policy Framework, which has been updated based on suggestions and ideas of Albertans in response to the initial framework. The purpose of the framework is to lead the way toward a more sustainable, response and accessible health system that is based on a more holistic and comprehensive approach to care.
