    Gap Analysis of Public Mental Health a& Addictions is the first project in Alberta’s history that has attempted to produce a detailed, comprehensive, and systematic description f provincially funded addiction and mental health servirces in relation to population need.  Despite the many limitations associated with this project, we believe that the results presented here will strategically valuable for multiple stakeholders, including Alberta Health Services (AHS), Alberta Health, other Goverments of Alberta (GoA) ministries and GoA-funded service providers, as well as a variety of addiction and mental health advocacy communities.

  • 2012 HRC Report

    Title:Delivery matters: the high costs of for-profit health services in Alberta.
    Variant Title:A Parkland Report : April 2012
    Author(s):Gibson, Diana|split|Clements, Jill
    Corporate Author: Parkland Institute
    Subject:Health issues – medicare|split|Health issues – programs, services|split|Social services – privatization
    Publisher:Parkland Institute
    Place of Publication:Edmonton
    Date of Publication:2012
    Abstract:

    This report is the second in a new series by the Parkland Institute: Delivery Matters. The first report examined delivery of long-term and continuing care services and provided a solid body of evidence that quality is significantly poorer in investor-owned facilities. Similarly, this report explores the delivery of clinical services, specifically arthroplasty or total hip and knee replacements, through private, for-profit clinics. It includes a case study of Calgary’s Health Resources Centre (HRC) that specifically examines the cost, quality, access and other implications of expanding this form of provision and places it in the context of national and international research. It also examines a wait-list reduction pilot project, the Alberta Hip and Knee Replacement Project, which includes for-profit and not-for-profit providers, allowing for a comparison of the two models.(Taken from Introduction)
