A foundation for Alberta's health system : report of the Minister's Advisory Committee on Health

Description

The Minister's Advisory Committee on Health was established in September 2009 to provide input on the legislative reforms necessary to update health legislation in Alberta. The Minister of Health and Wellness asked the Committee to establish a new legislative framework that would enable Alberta's heath system to: remove barriers to accessing health care, promote wellness, promote ambulatory and community-based care, enable the public health system to respond to emerging issues on a timely basis, encourage evidence-informed innovation, and establish clear lines of accountability. This report of the Committee presents a new focus and architecture for health care legislation in Alberta that will reframe the way Albertans, health policy makers and the health system view health and health care in the years ahead. The new legislation would move the system from an overemphasis on the needs of institutions and providers to one that better recognizes and responds to people and families needing health services.
