Advocacy

Advocating for system improvements that nurture healthy work environments and foster the delivery of safe care

The CMPA advocates for system enhancements that allow physicians to focus on what they do best - providing safe, quality care to their patients.

Our data, research, insights, and unique perspectives enable us to provide unique input on key legislation, regulations, and policies on medico-legal issues as well as on a range of subjects that can affect the safety of care and the culture of healthcare environments.

Advocating for improvements to the Canadian medico-legal system

The CMPA recognizes that there are opportunities to enhance and effect positive change to the Canadian medico-legal system.

We are committed to working with our partners to support civil justice reforms that improve access to justice, shorten the time required to resolve cases (including alternative dispute resolution) and improve case management and proportionality in the adjudication of disputes.

This forms part of our commitment to you – our members and all patients - to bringing cases to an early and fair resolution while reducing costs for all parties.
