Information sharing strategy
Alberta’s Information Sharing Strategy was established to enable us to share information to make the best decisions possible for Albertans’ health, education and safety. The Strategy helps ensure:
- Alberta’s legislation and policies are applied consistently to support information sharing among government and partners
- there are processes, technology, resources and training to help individuals and organizations make appropriate information sharing decisions
- everyone who shares information understands what can be shared and how to manage the information to respect Albertans’ privacy
- we have a common understanding about an Albertan’s situation and reduce duplication when gathering information about their needs
