charge

The Physician Information Exchange (PIE) Working Group was established in January 2007 to continue and expand upon the efforts of the former working groups on International Exchange of Information on Physicians (IEIP) and the Fast Track Credentials Systems (FTCS). The primary objective of the PIE Working Group's Charge/Terms of Reference are:

  • To develop mechanisms by which information can be disseminated to all medical regulatory authorities regarding disciplinary actions taken by national, regional, provincial and state health care regulatory authorities against health care providers under their jurisdictions.

  • To field test the most suitable mechanisms for delivering effective information exchange, with particular reference to three possible models a) a central and/or regional IAMRA database; b) an IAMRA web service capable of routing regulators into other databases; c) Bi-lateral and multi-lateral memoranda of understanding, based on the models of information sharing previously developed for the electronic exchange of certificates of good standing / certificates of professional standing.
