As part of the Alternate Level of Care (ALC) transitional bed pilot initiative, Health Cities is inviting ALC Care and Service Providers to a focused, 60-minute engagement session to help inform how Alberta can better support individuals designated as ALC and modernize care transitions across health and community systems.
The ALSS | ALC Initiative, led by Health Cities in partnership with the Government of Alberta, Ministry of Assisted Living and Social Services (ALSS), addresses a critical challenge: people who no longer need hospital-level care but remain in hospital due to limited alternatives.
Working with provincial agencies, service providers, innovators, and communities, we support the co-development of transitional and longer-term models of care that can scale.
We are conducting a multi-phase engagement over the next month and are seeking your insights as part of the ALC ecosystem.
Senior leaders, operational leads, and/or clinical leads from Continuing Care. Please share this opportunity with colleagues in placement, clinical care, operations, or innovation who bring valuable perspectives.
You may attend the session that best fits your role. Please register via the registration link for the session you plan to attend. You may register for more than one session if you wish.
The sessions will be held over Zoom (60 minutes), and each session will be recorded. A transcript or summary is available upon request.
This is a private event for professionals in the industry and will not be shared or distributed publicly. Data will be used for project reporting and initiative planning.
