About the Alberta Diabetes
Surveillance System
As a key component of the Alberta Diabetes Strategy 2003-2013, the Alberta Diabetes Surveillance System (ADSS) was created in order to disseminate information on the incidence, prevalence and mortality of diabetes and its complications and comorbidities in Alberta. The Institute of Health Economics (IHE) and ACHORD are working closely with the Population Health Strategies and Surveillance Branches to produce this timely, comprehensive, standardized database for diabetes surveillance in Alberta. The ADSS is lead by Dr. Johnson and other ACHORD Investigators in addition to a number of collaborators from across Alberta with clinical and research backgrounds.
