Administrative Burdens Working Group

The Memorandum of Agreement on Physicians Administrative Burdens was negotiated as part of the 2022 Physician Master Agreement. This joint working group was established to make recommendations to actively reduce ongoing administrative burdens faced by physicians. Focus will be on the most significant burdens that the Ministry of Health, Health Authorities, Doctors of BC, and physicians are able to influence. The scope of the subject areas to be addressed are limited to burdens that are created by, or within the control of the Ministry of Health, Health Authorities, Doctors of BC, and physicians. Generally, requirements around the creation of a patient record are out of scope. No recommended change will reduce quality of care for patients.
