The NLMA is working on a program to integrate NLPDP authorization request forms with EMRs, which will help enhance efficiency and free up valuable time for doctors.
“As a family physician, I see first-hand the impact administrative burden can have on a medical practice. This integration will help improve physician efficiency in filling out the forms required for patient coverage under the provincial drug plan. By lessening unnecessary paperwork and administrative tasks, physicians can work toward avoiding burnout and can get back to the purpose of medical practice – caring for patients.”
– Dr. David Metcalfe, family physician & NLMA Board Member
Funding for this initiative was made possible by the Canadian Medical Association, MD Financial Management Inc. and Scotiabank as part of the Health Care Unburdened Grant program.
