Description

The influenza pandemic outbreak experienced in 2009 was recognized as an opportunity to review Alberta’s plans and preparedness and determine what could be improved in a future response to another pandemic or other public health emergency. The Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) was asked to conduct a review of the Alberta response. The review focused on the activities of Alberta Health and Wellness, Alberta Health Services and Alberta Emergency Management Agency. The review revealed many good outcomes and commendable practices from Alberta’s response to the pandemic which should continue in future responses to public health emergencies. It also identified systemic shortfalls that limited Alberta’s ability to respond effectively. The report makes 18 recommendations to address these shortfalls.
