Recommended Actions • Develop and support provincial working committees to plan and coordinate efforts in each major injury area. • Develop provincial, regional and local coalitions to address injury priorities. • Encourage the sharing of human, financial and material resources among stakeholders involved in injury control initiatives. • Facilitate use of websites such as the Health in Action for the sharing of injury control initiatives and evidencebased practices. What are the next steps? Alberta’s injury challenge is significant. Five recommendations are key to its successful implementation: • Enhance provincial coordination and collaboration. Authorize and approve the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research (ACICR) with a broad provincial mandate and broad stakeholder endorsement for injury control coordination and collaboration support. • Develop and sell the business case. Develop a compelling business case to reinforce the cost benefits of effective injury prevention programs, followed by effective treatment, management and rehabilitation services. • Develop an implementation plan. Entrust the coordinating body of ACICR and a broadened advisory body of stakeholders to develop a plan for implementing the Alberta Injury Control Strategy. • Facilitate stakeholder development of injury control plans. Stakeholders need to participate in, contribute to and collaborate on the development of provincial, regional and local injury control initiatives. • Monitor implementation and report progress. Stakeholders need to contribute annual information and data on their injury control programs as part of the overall, annual monitoring of the strategy. Enhance provincial coordination and collaboration. Develop and sell the business case. Develop an implementation plan. Facilitate stakeholder development of injury control plans. Monitor implementation and report progress. Making Alberta the Safest Place to Live 12
