Alberta Health Services Governance
The reporting relationships and governance of DCCM within the Calgary Zone of AHS are outlined below. The DCCM Head is a member of the Zonal Medical Advisory Committee. All DCCM members share responsibility for the vision, goals and advancement of all facets of the Department: exceptional patient-and-family cantered critical care. We lead critical care through our commitment to clinical care, education and research. The Medical Executive Committee, Zonal ICU Executive Council, and unit-based committees meet on a regular basis. Participation by medical and non-medical ICU practitioners in our weekly Grand Rounds, our annual Research Day, our site based and Zonal Morbidity and Mortality Working Groups, with direct links to our Departmental Quality Assurance Committee, and finally social programs foster Zonal and inter-disciplinary cooperation.
