Provincial Trauma Proposal Background Organization and responsibility for trauma services vary across the province. Organized trauma systems that standardize care of the seriously injured, prioritize access to emergency diagnostic and surgical services and rigorously measure performance as part of a trauma quality improvement program have been shown to reduce mortality and morbidity. Introduction of such a system in Alberta represents a tremendous opportunity to reduce death and disability. Goal Develop an organized and efficient all-inclusive trauma system for the Province of Alberta. Objectives 1. Obtain dedicated resources for the development and sustainability of the provincial trauma system. 2. Obtain tertiary and district trauma centre designation. These centres would subsequently be accredited by the Trauma Association of Canada. 3. Formulate transfer and triage policies for seriously injured patients throughout the province. 4. Ongoing quality control of trauma care throughout the province. 5. Establish a provincial trauma committee to oversee trauma care with the Province of Alberta. Status Partners & Sponsors Contact Implementation has begun in the district trauma centres and a provincial trauma committee has been formed. • Alberta Health and Wellness • Council CEO’s • Provincial Trauma Working Group • Regional Health Authorities Ms. Kathy Belton, Associate Director Phone: (780) 492-9762 Email: kathy.belton@ualberta.ca Alberta Centre for Injury Control & Research Page 28 of 66 Annual Report Addendum 2007/2008
Safety Guidelines for Physical Activity in Alberta Schools Background The ACICR, in cooperation with a multi-sectoral steering committee, created and maintains a document entitled Safety Guidelines for Physical Activity in Alberta Schools. The intent of this document is two-fold: 1. To focus teacher attention on safe instructional practices in order to minimize inherent risk. 2. To encourage school authorities to develop policies, and schools to develop plans and procedures for the safety and security of their students. In the summer of 1998, the ACICR purchased a document from the Ontario Physical & Health Education Association (OPHEA) entitled “Physical Education – Ontario Safety Guidelines”. Using this document as a starting place an Alberta version was created in October 1999. This was published and distributed as the first edition of the Safety Guidelines for Physical Activity in Alberta Schools. The document was revised in 2001 and 2003. In 2006, an evaluation of the document was undertaken to prepare for the revision of the guidelines in 2007. The revisions have been completed and a new edition of the document is being printed. Goal Objective Status Partners & Sponsors * denotes sponsorship Contact To reduce the number and impact of injuries to students (Early Childhood and K to 12) while participating in school curriculum based physical activities. To support school boards to develop coordinated, evidence-based policy, focused on injury issues and to provide teachers with a resource for safely conducting physical activities with students. The guidelines have been updated and reformatted based on the evaluation conducted last year and will be reprinted in June 2008. • Alberta Education* • Alberta Health and Wellness • Alberta Lottery Fund* • Alberta Schools Athletic Association • Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks & Wildlife Foundation* • Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture • Edmonton Catholic Schools • Edmonton Public Schools • Health and Physical Education Council, Alberta Teachers’ Association • Schools Come Alive • Sport Medicine Council of Alberta Ms. Cathy Gladwin, Policy Analyst Phone: (780) 492-9218 Email: cathy.gladwin@ualberta.ca Alberta Centre for Injury Control & Research Page 29 of 66 Annual Report Addendum 2007/2008
