Practice Facilitation Network

A venue for those doing practice facilitation work to connect, share valuable insights, collaborate on initiatives, and rapidly disseminate promising ideas. 

The Accelerating Change Transformation Team (ACTT) partners with Alberta practice facilitators to deliver a provincial Practice Facilitation (PF) Network.

The success of the PF Network is grounded in participants' commitment to engage and communicate their collective experience, wisdom, and passion to enable meaningful changes designed to improve patient outcomes and clinical processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone actively doing practice facilitation work in the healthcare system in Alberta.  

Practice facilitation is the process of engaging and coaching care teams to test and implement changes to optimize clinical and non-clinical processes. Practice facilitation may include activities such as leadership training, the use of practice data to direct change, needs assessment, the identification of best practices, and technical assistance.  We often refer to the individuals doing practice facilitation work as Practice Facilitators, but in reality they go by many names such as Quality Improvement Coordinator, Quality Improvement Facilitator, Evaluation and Improvement Leads, among others.    

Webinars occur monthly between September through June, from 2:00-3:00 pm on the first Monday of the month.  If the first Monday of the month is a holiday, webinars will usually be conducted on the second Monday of the month.
