With PACS, clinicians can access digital diagnostic images and reports from any location in Fraser Health. Remote users such as physicians, radiologists, surgeons, and dentists may apply for access from their own offices or homes.

PACS is considered a cornerstone to creating a national Electronic Health Information System or Electronic Health Record (EHR) that will link clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, and other points of care with each citizen across the country.

Types of Physician Contracts

Service Contracts

Service contacts are generally intended for physicians providing full time service. 

A service contract stipulates the services required of the physician or physician group by the health authority and the amount to be paid to the service providers. 

Amounts paid under service contracts are established under the authority of the Physician Master Agreement and as developed and managed by the Alternative Payments Committee. 

 

 

Sessional Contracts

A session is 3.5 hours of Physician services. A sessional contract is used to purchase time-based service from a physician. 

Sessions provide flexibility for management of complex or time-consuming patient care by allowing physicians to bill for the actual time spent with, or on behalf of a patient, as opposed billing fees for specific services rendered.
A sessional contract is initiated by the health authority and signed by the physician as the means for describing the services to be provided and the number of sessions (amount of time) and payment to be provided for those services.

Administrative Contracts

Physicians performing administrative duties (leadership roles, committee chairs, etc.) for the health authority are required to sign administrative contracts.

Payment for administrative services are determined by the health authority and are not subject to the PMA.

MOCAP Contracts

The Medical On-Call / Availability Program (MOCAP) is a provincial program described in the PMA. The purpose of MOCAP is to pay physicians to be available (on-call) to:

  • Meet the medical needs of new or unassigned patients requiring emergency care by providing continuous coverage, as determined by the health authority (HA), at acute care hospitals, Diagnostic and treatment centers, and specified emergency treatment rooms
  • Meet standards of care as a minimum requirement of response to emergency on-call;
  • Ensure that physicians providing coverage as part of an established call rotation (or physician group) are compensated for being available to provide this service;
  • Ensure on-call coverage under this program translates into a sustainable workload for participating physicians; 
  • Address gaps in continuous, sustainable on-call coverage with innovative, workable solutions that are consistent with program requirements.

The health authority issues MOCAP contracts to approved call groups.

On Call Scheduling System

You need to have a FHA user account to access OnCall Scheduling System.
