Full Report

Acknowledgments
True collaboration takes place when healthcare professionals from across jurisdictions
and across disciplines bring to bear their unique knowledge, skills and experiences
to resolve persistent challenges, perform vital functions and tackle common
problems – together. The work represented in this report represents the efforts
of many professionals from across Northwest Territories (NWT) and the Canadian
Foundation for Healthcare Improvement (CFHI). We would like to acknowledge
the guidance and leadership of the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Steering
Committee members. We would also like to sincerely thank our expert reviewers,
who provided important insights drawing from their rich expertise and experience.
Without our collaboration, this work would not have been possible.
