Episode 70 - Maintaining Your Registration Information
Description
Speakers: Jody Prohar and Leanne Loranger
Up to date member profile information matters for physiotherapists because it can:
· Help to prevent the physiotherapist’s registration number from being used to fraudulently bill for services the physiotherapist did not provide.
· Help to ensure a former most responsible physiotherapist is not held responsible for issues related to physiotherapy services delivered after they have left a practice setting.
· Help to connect former patients to physiotherapists who have moved to a new practice setting.
There are a few things that all registrants should know about their member profile information and how it is used.
Did you know that member profile information is reported to the public via the College’s website? Did you know anonymous data is reported to the Canadian Institute of Health Information? The data is used so that members of the public can understand a physiotherapist’s registration status, and so that governments can assess the health of the physiotherapist workforce and plan for the future.
Did you know that if your demographic or employment information changes at any time during the year, you must update your information?
In 2025, the information collected by the College via your member profile will be changing. Listen to this episode to learn more about the information we collect, how that will change in 2025, and the reasons for those changes.
