The agreement also modernizes payment models for alternative care arrangements, aiming to retain and attract more physicians. Meanwhile, efforts to implement triage liaison physicians in ERs continue, with hopes of easing emergency room strain by monitoring high-risk patients. The Alberta Medical Association says these moves will improve care for vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with complex mental and physical needs.
