Navigating Connect Care Committee Workspaces

Connect Care committees, councils and advisory groups are supported with Alberta Health Services (AHS) SharePoint workspaces. These keep important materials in one place, limiting the need to attach large files (which may later be updated) to emails and calendars. With few exceptions, collaborative workspaces are open to all AHS staff, while editing rights are restricted to co-chairs and secretariat or support staff. All committee, councils and advisory group workspaces can be found via one root location, which may request a valid AHS (HEALTHY) network user name and password in order to proceed. The workspaces all have the same structure and functions. Learning how to navigate one will make it easier to navigate any other oversight group of interest.

SharePoint has some unique behaviours, giving some users trouble with screen-to-screen navigation. A new Connect Care collaborative workspace tip sheet can ease the way.
