Panel Discussion
TOPIC:
Engagement and Accountability
www.saferhealthcarenow.ca
• How would you respond to physicians who refuse to complete MedRec because they don’t
feel they have the necessary therapeutic knowledge of the medication?
(e.g specialists lacking knowledge of medication used for diabetes, hypertension)
• How can physicians be encouraged to be accountable for their specific MedRec-related
tasks?
• What is the role, if any, of “carrots and sticks”(or rewards and punishment) in ensuring physician engagement and completion of
MedRec?

Panel Discussion

Education and Training

www.saferhealthcarenow.ca
• What role does undergraduate medical education play in MedRec knowledge/
engagement?
• In the absence of undergraduate education on the process of MedRec
(including for example how to collect a Best Possible Medication History), what do you feel are the best modalities for
this to be learned “in practice”?
