AHS Access Improvement is a team dedicated to improving physician communication and patient access to services. We engage with physicians, specialists and patient advisors from the University of Calgary, the University of Alberta, Primary Care Networks and the community to help achieve better health outcomes for Albertans. Our vision is to improve our province’s referral and consultation processes so patients can see the right doctors for the right services at the right time.
