The Doctor Authorization Letter is a critical document within the Canadian healthcare system that facilitates authorized medical actions and information sharing while maintaining patient privacy and professional standards. This document is commonly used when patients need to share medical information with other healthcare providers, obtain specific treatments, or authorize medical procedures. The letter must comply with provincial healthcare regulations, the Canada Health Act, and privacy legislation such as PIPEDA. It typically includes the authorizing physician's credentials, patient information, specific authorizations granted, and temporal limitations.
