COVID-19 Updates: Taking steps to return to normal.
Outlining the path forward to implement the AHS review recommendations and transform Alberta's health care system.
Recommendations from the performance review of Alberta Health Services (AHS) represent significant changes to Alberta’s health system.
Current fiscal realities, combined with the growing and aging population who will be accessing the health system in the future, are creating challenges Alberta must be prepared to address or taxpayers will be left paying for soaring health care costs.
If we don’t act now, future governments will be forced to cut other needed services or increase taxes to cover health care costs.
The AHS performance review report made 5 recommendations (numbers 53-57 of 57) to support a successful implementation that will position AHS and Alberta Health for success.
Some of the recommendations are straightforward and AHS and Alberta Health will implement those immediately. Many others are more complex and involve more sweeping changes. Some will take years to complete.
Over the next 100 days, AHS will work with its staff and clinical leaders to develop a comprehensive implementation plan that will be submitted to the Minister of Health for approval. There will be regular reporting to Albertans on implementation progress.
