High-performing health system
The AMA is powered individually and collectively by physician leadership and stewardship in a high-performing health system.
Alberta’s high-performing health system is stable, compassionate and sustainable, delivering enhanced patient experience and improved population health. Individual and collective physician leadership is essential.
The AMA defines such a system in this way:
- Highest quality care requiring: acceptability; accessibility; appropriateness; effectiveness; efficiency; and safety
- Access based primarily on need, not ability to pay
- Fully integrated community and facility/primary and secondary care
- Management based on timely and accurate data
- Information that follows the patient seamlessly
- Care delivered with the patient, sharing responsibility and working with the physician toward best-possible health
