Enabling Effective Community Healthcare In order to address the combination of increasing healthcare delivery costs, an aging population, and a higher level of acuity in the community caseload, the trend towards moving healthcare delivery outside the walls of traditional hospitals and institutions must be accelerated—and community care providers must be included as an equal partner within the patient’s circle of care. Patient encounters and clinical interventions must be shared with the circle of care regardless of where they occur. Attendees at the 6th Annual Digital Health Canada/ANHIX Calgary Winter Conference will:

• explore the issues and opportunities around delivering effective care in the community• examine current Alberta initiatives impacting effective care delivery• look at the technology innovations making effective care delivery possibleThe conference will attract leaders, thinkers, senior executives, and individuals within the health space from Calgary and the surrounding area.
