The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC (CPSBC) is expanding their Physician Practice Enhancement Program (PPEP) to anesthesiologists and those providing family practice anesthesia (FPA) in dental facilities for 2024. This means that those providing sedation and general anesthesia services may be required to complete a practice environment assessment and peer assessment.
PPEP is an educational program for physicians and surgeons, focused on quality improvement by providing feedback and recommendations on clinical practice.
The practice environment assessment focuses on the provision of sedation and general anesthesia in dental facilities to ensure care provided in these settings is consistent with the quality of care in other medical facilities. The peer assessment involves a review of patient clinical records such as sedation and general anesthetic record.
