The major business plan documents are as follows: 

A. Vision, Mission and Values

As established by the AMA Board of Directors.

B. Key Result Areas, Goals and Activities 

Cascading from the AMA Mission the Board established goals in three key result areas: Financial Health, Well Being, and System Leadership and Partnership focused on delivering value to physician members.  Under Board supervision, activities for the 2024-25 fiscal year are developed by staff and an update is provided to the Board and Representative Forum mid-year.  

Healthy AMA focuses primarily on the operations and governance of AMA to deliver the key result areas. 

There are several physician support programs primarily funded by Alberta Health (AH) grants that are part of AMA and included in the business plan, but not reflected in the budget.  The programs include:

• Accelerating Change Transformation Team (ACTT) enables system transformation in four way:
  • Content: Find, curate and build materials that help members and partners understand and implement the transformative changes. 
  • Capacity: Help members and partners build the skill sets they need to implement the transformative changes. 
  • Support: Help partners (especially PCNs) in their organizations to do the hard work of leading and implementing change.
  • Influence: Influence policy, practice, funding and services of other groups (founders, AHS, HQCA, etc.) to maximize the chances of successful transformative change.
• Rural Locum Program provides temporary physician coverage in rural areas to ensure continuous patient care.
• Physician and Family Support Program (PFSP) offers confidential support to Alberta physicians, residents, and their families including counseling, peer support, and resources to address wellbeing. 

C. Budget

The budget outlines the allocation of AMA resources to achieve its goals and activities and encompasses ongoing AMA operations, and reserves.  As an integral part of the business plan, the budget serves as a critical control and monitoring tool for the Board.
