ABOUT US.
The Alberta Virtual Care Coordination Body (AVCCB) is an advisory, oversight committee created by its sponsoring organizations and groups to promote principle-based health data governance, policy, regulation, workflow, and technology alignment across the health sector that promotes quality health programs and services. Starting with a focus on virtual care, it quickly became apparent that virtual care cannot be optimized without a broader focus on health information and data.
Consisting of stakeholders from across the health sector, the AVCCB is committed to promoting the delivery of optimal health outcomes for patients; promoting the health and wellbeing of populations; reducing healthcare cost; and improving the healthcare provider experience.
The AVCCB functions under the shared authority of all cooperating members to set a consensus policy approach to health data design and use in Alberta, and is governed according to the Collective Impact framework, established at Stanford University in 2011.
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
The reports of the AVCCB are the product of cooperative principle-based collaboration across diverse members of the public and those working in the health field, to promote quality health programs and services that will benefit all people receiving care in Alberta and Canada.
Participation of an individual in an AVCCB project, including the publication of a report, does not indicate endorsement of the content of the report by the institution or organization that employs the individual.
Institutional and organizational participation in, and endorsement of, AVCCB efforts is welcomed and encouraged in support of collective accountability to quality health programs and services.
MEMBERS & PARTNERS.
The AVCCB functions by joining members in a common commitment to uphold shared principles of health data design and use that foster the provision of quality health programs and services and promote the health and wellbeing of Albertans and Canadians. Much of the work of the AVCCB is carried out through focused, time-limited working groups populated by individuals with expertise in the area of interest, and supported by partnering organizations. In this manner, the AVCCB aims to expand its scope of partners who join in the cooperative effort to achieve principle-based quality health data design and use.
