EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
Dear ACFP Members:
The ACFP has been persistent in our partnership and advocacy efforts to make things better for family physicians and primary care in Alberta. Our strategic priority is to ensure that Alberta has a fully integrated health system with family medicine as the foundation.
Supporting Comprehensive Care Task Force
As a member of the Task Force, the ACFP has been working with the Alberta Medical Association, Professional Association of Resident Physicians of Alberta, and Alberta Health on decreasing administrative burden in primary care, transitional funding, and the new physician comprehensive care model (PCCM). This Task Force has been meeting regularly to advance recommendations and, between meetings, much work is being done to gather and summarize evidence, engage in ongoing dialogue with Ministry staff, and continue to push for action on the recommendations that have been put forward. Though progress is being made, there is more to be done to advance the recommendations for decreasing administrative burden and to support the work to finalize the PCCM.
Our collective voice is also vital to ensure that the changes Alberta Health is making to refocus the health care system are beneficial and do not limit or debilitate family medicine and our members.
