Meanwhile, the government also released Smith’s marching orders for the province’s health minister Wednesday.
In a mandate letter to Jason Copping, Smith calls for a task force of medical professionals under the Alberta Health Quality Council to conduct a data review of “health information” in order to make recommendations on how to better manage a future pandemic.Article content Smith has previously promised an overhaul of Alberta Health Services — including replacing its board with an interim health commissioner that reports directly to her — but the letter doesn’t mention any specific, significant changes. She said she expects Copping to develop “reforms to the health-care system that restore decision-making authority to the local level.”
The UCP government will be developing a plan to attract and retain health-care workers in rural Alberta, and “take immediate tangible steps” to improve AHS services, including decreasing surgical backlogs and improving ambulance response times. Working with Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish, Copping will also pilot existing software apps that can be used to “streamline ER waiting times and more effectively manage shift schedules,” and move forward with the personal health spending accountsThe letter comes after Smith made good on her pledge
