ABOUT THE COMMITTEE
Year Created: 2009
Chair: Dr. Raymond Maung (Kamloops, BC)
Purpose:
Recently, the Professional Affairs Committee has been amalgamated into the Workload and Workforce committee and to reflect this has been renamed “Workload and Human Resources Committee.
Workload
The committee will facilitate planning of the appropriate workforce to meet the clinical, academic and administrative needs in an institution. The committee will regularly update the CAP-ACP workload model to keep it current. The committee based the basic workload framework on the Level 4 Equivalent (L4E) unit. The L4E value takes into consideration the average time needed to complete the case, medical value to the clinicians and patients, clinical urgency, degree of difficulty and medico-legal responsibility.
Human Resources
- To maintain a register of laboratory physician remuneration and manpower
- To monitor patterns and analyze trends and policies regarding laboratory physician remuneration and manpower
- To provide economic information for members for negotiations
Membership
The committee members will include pathologists from all 10 provinces plus 2 representatives from the residents.
