ABSTRACT
The ability to measure population health trends and improvements can be enhanced through collaborative efforts to describe existing knowledge and via shared development opportunities. This paper highlights a project undertaken in Alberta which has created an inventory of health status indicators in use in the province, and provides a framework for strategic progress in the development and use of a common set of indicators across the province. The work may provide a model for other regional health authorities interested in comparing the health of their populations across time and across health regions.
