Alberta’s auditor general finds major flaws in health data reporting, prompting promises of reform.
Alberta’s auditor general has called for a standardized reporting framework after finding widespread inconsistencies and poor transparency in the province’s healthcare performance data.
Key metrics from Premier Danielle Smith’s 2022 health plan were not delivered, including operating room utilization and paramedic off-load times, with some targets set before data systems existed.
Reports lacked clear definitions, consistent methods, and reliable sources, and some used short-term data dips to falsely suggest progress.
The audit cited leadership turnover, outdated guidelines, and delayed business plan releases as root causes.
In response, the government and Acute Care Alberta acknowledged the issues, accepted the recommendations, and pledged new policies to improve accountability, data verification, and public reporting consistency.
