N.B.’s looking to follow in the footsteps of Que., N.S. and Ont, who reduced unnecessary physician paperwork through changes in legislation. The changes, for doctors whose patients receive benefits from the Department of Social Development, include:

  • Removing physician involvement in three instances;
  • Expanding authorization to medical professionals other than a physician in nine instances;
  • Streamlining forms and processes in 15 instances; and
  • Reducing or removing renewal requirements in 13 instances.

The department didn’t elaborate on what any of the “instances” were.
