Alberta’s health quality council selects Agili-T

MONTREAL – Agili-T Health Solutions is pleased to announce that it has been selected by the Health Quality Council of Alberta to conduct the provincial long-term care family survey.

The survey represents a comprehensive assessment of the quality of care provided to individuals living in publicly funded Alberta nursing homes.

Approximately 12,000 family members of long-term care residents are being asked to provide their opinions about visiting the residents, their experiences with staff at facilities, their opinions about the physical environment, the care their family members receive, the administration of the facilities and their roles in relation to the residents.

The survey was officially launched in October 2007 and is nearing completion, with results expected to be published on the HQCA web site in the coming months.
