Provincial On-Call Programs

Medical On-Call Availability Program (MOCAP)

MOCAP Advisory Committee

An Advisory Committee will monitor the implementation of MOCAP to ensure policies are followed and ensure consistency in application of the program across the Province. The committee is made up of nominees from the HAs and MOH and is accountable to MOH.

The committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Providing recommendations on MOCAP policies and implementation;
• Developing program accountability and evaluation criteria;
• Develop a mechanism to audit call groups on a random basis;
• Reviewing a call group’s designation, upon request; and
• Reviewing and responding to information acquired through program monitoring and evaluation, including making recommendations regarding program modifications.

Where the MOCAP Advisory Committee approves exceptions, the exception requires close monitoring of response time and need over a three-six month trial period. Results will be reported to the Advisory Committee upon completion of the trial period.
