Government is not listening to your physicians

THE VISION

Physicians have solutions for timely, effective and evidence-based health care across Alberta.

THE PROBLEM

Our health care system is at a breaking point, but the Alberta Government is ignoring common sense solutions from physicians to stabilize it.

SEND LETTER

The Alberta Government’s words do not match their actions. They promised to implement solutions put forward by physicians but have not delivered.

Physicians are being consulted after decisions on reform have been made. This causes unintended, negative consequences. We want to work with government to prevent:

Further damage to Alberta’s ability to retain and recruit physicians

Inefficiencies and cost overruns

A health care system falling apart and putting patients at risk

Here are a few recent examples

Delayed Action To Support Primary Care Physicians Leaves Doctors and Patients Struggling

Physicians and the Alberta Government agreed to implement a new Physician Comprehensive Care Model (PCCM) to stabilize family and rural medicine almost a year ago. Clinics have been hanging by a thread.
‍
The AMA and government have agreed on the model. Government is choosing not to act to implement the model. Rescue has not come. Many clinics are in increasing jeopardy.
‍
Government pretends to hear but doesn’t listen. They are choosing not to act. Alberta, it’s your health care system. We’ll help you raise your voice. Let’s get this done.

Common sense solutions on acute care being ignored

Physicians have also proposed a model to stabilize acute care and spending going forward.

There has been no response from government and no other solutions presented.

The acute care system is on its last legs. Physicians and all team members are giving their all but more people are needed.

Alberta Health Services (AHS) Overhaul Diverts Focus from Critical Reforms

Government decided to break apart AHS without consulting physicians or other frontline professionals. This has made an overstrained system even more unstable.

This overhaul is creating new layers of bureaucracy and inefficiency. It’s burning valuable time that should be spent on critical health reforms needed to stabilize the system.

Rather than pursuing these disruptive changes, efforts should focus on solving immediate patient care challenges.

Shortage of Physicians and Teams Harming Patient Care


We are in a global health human resource crisis. There are not enough physicians. There are not enough either of the allied health professions with whom they work. This is disrupting care, increasing wait times, and reducing access to care for patients.

Not enough is being done to recruit and retain these critical personnel. Even shiny new buildings need people to work in them.

THE SOLUTION

THE SOLUTION

Informed Reform

For generations, physicians have been the trusted stewards of medical care. Restricting their input has led to declining outcomes. Their expertise, education, and decision-making power are essential for delivering the quality care that patients rely on.

Physicians want to help the government reform health care – but need to be trusted. We understand that the health system is complex and we seek to talk and work together with meaningful conversations to make things better for patients and the system.

THE RESULT

Reduce costly policy missteps

With physicians providing oversight, health care reforms would be more practical and patient-centred, reducing costly missteps and building trust through evidence-based decisions guided by real-world expertise.

Efficient resource allocation

Efficient resource allocation would direct funding, staff, and supplies to high-need areas, improving access, reducing waste, and ensuring timely, cost-effective care for vulnerable populations.

Better care quality and improved patient outcomes:

Input from doctors would prevent poorly conceived policies, leading to practical, sustainable healthcare changes that improve care quality, patient outcomes, and system stability guided by medical expertise.
