EDMONTON, AB--(Marketwired - January 26, 2017) - The Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) will hold a news conference on Tuesday, January 31, to launch a new unique online tool: FOCUS on Emergency Departments. The easy to use tool, available on a new website, provides Albertans with an unprecedented amount of information about the 16 busiest emergency departments in Alberta from the last five years.
Responses from patient surveys and hospital data provide detailed information about Albertans' experiences with emergency departments.
Members of the media are invited to attend a brief presentation and demonstration of the tool, followed by a question and answer session. Attendees will have the opportunity to test the website. One-on-one and in-studio interviews can also be arranged on request.
