Unlike previous structures, ACA is designed to work across organizations, helping break down silos to improve quality and consistency in care.
Our independence from service delivery allows us to act as a collaborative leader, building consistency and improvement across Alberta’s acute care provider organizations.
Bringing people together, we solve problems, find solutions, and make changes quickly.
Our unique role and structure allow us to overcome complex challenges that are difficult for individual organizations to fix by themselves.
Simply, we are never-before-seen in Alberta, and we are doing things differently.
ACA brings together data and real-world experience to understand how the sector is performing.
We can see differences in care, gaps in access, and areas that need improvement.
For example, we have already:
Helped increase the number of surgeries while protecting space for more complex care.
Coordinated activity across public hospitals and chartered facilities to increase surgical procedures and reduce wait times.
Improved how operating rooms are used by sharing best practices.
ACA supports accountability by showing what's working, what's not, and where to improve.
We combine data with patient experience to give a clearer picture of performance across Alberta, ensuring high-quality and consistent care, equitable access to care, and the responsible use of public resources.
Through public reporting on performance, ACA focuses on learning and improvement, not blame.
We share results publicly, along with the context needed for patients, health care providers, and our partners to understand them.
When challenges arise, we help find solutions and support progress.
