The College of Family Physicians of Canada urges the federal government to reduce paperwork and bureaucratic hurdles for family doctors, aiming to improve patient access to care. With nearly six million Canadians lacking a family doctor, doctors spend 10-19 hours weekly on admin tasks. The government pledged $500 million to alleviate this burden, but action is needed. AI transcription and improved health record connectivity are proposed solutions, with Dr. Sarah Cook, the groups president, advocating for these changes with the health ministers team.
