More Information
Summary:McIntosh et al the Cardiovascular Health and Stroke Strategic Clinical Network (CvHS SCN). The CvHS SCN successfully established independent yet collaborative initiatives by leveraging previous work started by the Alberta Provincial Stroke Strategy, Alberta Cardiac Access Collaborative and the Cardiac Clinical Network. The CvHS SCN retained many elements from these previous initiatives, along with subject-matter-expert members, allowing advancement of provincial-scale work. These members now make up the CvHS SCN's core committee and 16 working groups, which function as a participatory democracy assisting the network to identify and determine focused priority projects. This is done by using existing data and evidence to evaluate current health status, clinical practices and system performances summarized in a Transformational Roadmap.
