Orders for Medical Care Professional Practice Guideline (PPG) Consultation

Your feedback is requested on the draft Orders for Medical Care Professional Practice Guideline (PPG).

Deadline for feedback is May 09, 2019

Background

The last version of the Orders for Medical Care PPG was created in 2013 and was due to be reviewed and revised.  The changes that have been made are intended to address both frequent practice questions to the CRTO, as well as the evolution in technology regarding medical orders. The primary changes from the previous version are:

  • Expanded clarification of the two forms of an order (direct order and medical directive) & the difference between a medical directive and delegation;
  • A sample medical directive; and
  • Additional information on electronic orders and electronic signatures.

If this draft of the revised PPG is approved by Council at this time, it will be circulated to the CRTO membership for their feedback.
