Timely access to gastroenterology (GI) specialty care remains a significant issue across Alberta. Integrating care is vital to reduce wait times for patients with non-urgent indications and improve patient experience and outcomes.
The DHSCN is working provincially with primary care, GI specialists, patients, and other stakeholders to develop care pathways, supports and resources for low-risk gastrointestinal conditions. These pathways provide evidence-based guidance including:
Patient Pathways – Digestive Health
Digital Health Tools For Patients with IBD
Primary Care Supports – GI
Primary Care Pathways – Digestive Health
Primary Care Pathways – Colorectal Cancer
Educational Webinars on Pathway Conditions
