Consultation 029 is coming up: Keep an eye on your inbox

Read time: 1 minute

Next week, CPSA will be accepting feedback on proposed amendments to three standards of practice:

Dispensing Drugs for a Fee

• Additions and amendments around this standard are intended to support patient safety by emphasizing the provision of appropriate information to inform patient decisions, supporting prescribing within the physician-patient relationship whenever possible and providing clarity around requirements for obtaining, storing and dispensing drugs.

Disclosure of Adverse or Harmful Events

• With a continued emphasis on patient care, changes to this standard emphasize the requirement of regulated members to disclose harmful events and when disclosure of near-miss events should be considered.

Virtual Care

• Changes to the standard seeks to remove barriers for patients in remote/rural settings and support continuity of care while using a virtual care platform, as well as highlighting the impact that a regulated member’s location may have on liability protection.
