Pallium Integrated Care Capacity Building Initiative
$4,317,000
The Alberta Cancer Board (ACB) reduces the burden of cancer through prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, palliation, education, and research. Among a network of some 40 organizations, the ACB serves as The Pallium Project's administrative hosting authority and as the PHCTF Project Sponsor for Pallium's Phase II activities.
Partners:
National and regional palliative and end-of-life organizations and associations, and participating jurisdictions (eight Canadian universities, regional health authorities and seven provinces and territories).
Objectives:
To further develop Canada's hospice palliative care system, through system transformation that is focussed on multi-level service integration and increased provider capacity, to strengthen the continuum of health care services for end-of-life care.
Activities:
- Develop and enhance provider skill, especially at the community and regional health authority levels;
- Develop learning resources for adoption on a pan-Canadian basis;
- Establish learning centres in provinces and territories;
- Implement outreach education and professional development supported by peer mentors; and
- Initiate collaborative development between the health care delivery system, the voluntary sector and citizens.
Expected Results:
System capacity built through skill and performance enhancement for service providers; balanced attention among skills, organization and policy development; and, increased functional partnerships to facilitate palliative primary care reform for Canada's hospice palliative care system.
