Why quality matters

"As a passionate steward of health resources, I want every Albertan to have access to high-quality care. It is well documented that in Canada up to 15% of tests and treatments are unnecessary, contributing to system strain, medical harm, and poor planetary health. I believe that improving this can free capacity to focus on interventions that truly improve health outcomes for people in Alberta. I look forward to collaborating with others to promote and support practices that enhance quality and safety and foster a culture of continuous improvement."

Beyond the bedside
