I would very much like to see the basis for the statement that “Regulated members are ethically and legally required to provide reports on patients they have attended” - perhaps this holds for requests by patients (although I can easily think of counter-examples), but I’m surprised that the CPSA holds that docs must complete any form that a third-party throws at them? Unless I'm missing something about what "reports" means? This isn’t about providing “health information” from a patient’s chart, as a custodian, this is spending significant time and energy on forms that in many cases ARE NOT “an essential part of good patient care”, as claimed. I understand the CPSA’s mandate to protect patients’ interests, but I’m unclear that mandate extends to protecting the interests of third-parties, particularly when “forms” are a top-3 cause of physician burnout (which clearly HARMS patients). The fog is beginning to clear around why we’ve gotten to this state! This is a critical issue that the CPSA needs to wrestle with - and not by tweaking the Standard to address fees. Perhaps reviewing what’s actually meant by the HIA, and/or pushing for changes to the legislation if this an error of government rather than regulator? I can’t emphasize it enough - the CPSA is mandated to protect Alberta patients (among other things), and if its actions lead to net unintended harm (e.g. the effect of physician burnout on primary care) relative to intended benefit (e.g. forms getting completed), then it’s failing in this mandate.
