Minister of Service Alberta Nate Glubish will travel to Denmark this week to learn more about the Scandinavian nation’s approach to managing health data and how it can improve outcomes for Albertans.
Provincial officials say Minister Glubish was invited by the Danish Embassy to see first-hand how Denmark’s approach to managing healthcare data improves outcomes for its citizens. Glubish is expected to learn about practical applications of data to inform research, support innovative technologies and usher in new opportunities to improve the delivery of essential services to Albertans.
“One of my passion projects has been to modernize the way we use, store and manage data so we can produce better services and outcomes for Albertans, including within health care. Denmark’s invitation gives us the opportunity to learn about their successes and bring home opportunities with the potential to improve health outcomes for Albertans while also improving efficiency of the health-care system and making the most of Albertans’ tax dollars,” says Nate Glubish, Minister of Service Alberta.
Alberta’s government says it is working to create value for Albertans by igniting data-driven innovation to improve public services, attract investment, create jobs and strengthen economic diversification while upholding privacy and ethical considerations. As Alberta’s tech sector continues to grow rapidly, officials say there may be opportunities for partnerships to help government modernize the way it delivers public services.
