Evaluation of planning and implementation for an innovative health centre.
The South Calgary Health Centre, a new venture for the Calgary Health Region, was mandated to be an accessible, integrated, community-based health services facility. A comprehensive evaluation provided details on planning and implementation. Functional integration was a large focus of the planning and was operationalized as central admitting, shared charts, shared space and co-location of clinical services with no history of integration. Challenges are discussed and recommendations for future health centres developed.
