The Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program is internationally
recognized as a key component in health renewal to support self-care,
ultimately resulting in improved health outcomes and decreased acute service
utilization for persons with chronic conditions. Patient self management is
a critical untapped resource in healthcare improvement. The Alberta
initiative will support and capitalize on the strengths of self management
by providing a supportive context for positive self-management through
exemplary leadership and modeling of leaders and trainers.

 

 The Provincial Stanford Chronic Conditions Self-Management Program in
Alberta is primarily funded by Alberta Health & Wellness. The target
audiences for this program are Primary Care Networks and Regional Health
Authorities. This program utilizes an train the trainer model’ all sessions
are co-facilitated by two trained leaders. The leaders are health care
professionals or volunteers who follow a standardized scripted course

*	build resources & expertise in all Primary Care Networks and RHAs 
*	ensure comprehensive province-wide support of chronic conditions
self-management programs
