Issue #12: Inter-Jurisdictional Practices
COVID-19 has highlighted the need for modernization of practice regulations in regard to inter-jurisdictional practices. Canadian health and social care providers need increased ease and mobility to practice across Canadian jurisdictional borders, particularly as the use of distance e-health treatments is on the increase during COVID-19. This is especially evident when a healthcare provider is licensed within one Canadian jurisdiction, but the patient may be in another part of the country for a limited period of time.
Recommendation #40: Update Rules
Work with professional colleges and self-regulatory organizations to modernize rules of practice to further allow for interprovincial mobility, virtual cross-jurisdictional visits increased access, and non-location-based treatment (i.e., Zoom appointments).
Recommendation #41: Modernization
Modernize criteria and guidelines for telehealth medicine across jurisdictions, particularly in light of COVID-19.
