Health Quality Council of Alberta

Health Quality Alberta is a provincial agency that brings together patients, families, and our partners from across healthcare and academia to inspire improvement in patient safety, person-centred care, and health service quality. We assess and study the healthcare system, identify effective practices, and engage with Albertans to learn about their experiences. Our responsibilities are outlined in the Health Quality Council of Alberta Act.
We encourage you to visit our website to learn more about us, our survey and measurement work, and the variety of products we produce.
Health Quality Alberta is partnering with Primary Care Alberta (PCA) to host the first-of-its-kind Primary Care Summit in Alberta. We are seeking proposals from qualified event management companies to plan, coordinate, and execute this provincial-level, high-profile healthcare event.

Project description
Alberta’s primary care system is undergoing significant transformation, including:
•        The establishment of Primary Care Alberta
•        Evolution of Primary Care Networks
•        A system wide shift toward team based care and integrated models of care
•        Transition from strategy development to implementation of MAPS priorities
There is an opportunity to host a conference designed to support system alignment, practical implementation, and shared accountability across the full primary care ecosystem.
We will bring together healthcare providers, administrators, policymakers, patient advisors, and system leaders to share best practices, innovations, and strategies to improve healthcare quality across Alberta.
