New translated and culturally relevant resources for the Chinese community

We have developed resources to empower older adults, and their adult caregivers, who are part of the Chinese community to be active partners in their healthcare. These resources are available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English and include tips for before, during, and after a healthcare visit. This is part of the HQCA’s public information campaign Working With Your Healthcare Team, which also includes translated resources for the Filipino and South Asian communities.

Resources for Improvement

We’re looking to partner with primary care clinics interested in participating in a patient safety culture survey.

The Health Quality Council of Alberta is a provincial agency that brings together patients, families, and our partners from across healthcare and academia to inspire improvement in patient safety, person-centred care, and health service quality. We assess and study the healthcare system, identify effective practices, and engage with Albertans to gather information about their experiences. We value diverse perspectives, and bring objective, evidence-based analysis to our work. Our responsibilities are outlined in the Health Quality Council of Alberta Act.

About Us

We are grateful to work, live and learn on the traditional Treaty territories and Métis lands in Alberta.
