    "content": "history of the malaise and the treatment a patient has been getting. Some people have engaged in offences which we have tried to categorize under Clause 23, and the penalties for the offences. Clause 26 creates a disciplinary committee and provides for the conduct of disciplinary proceedings. For example, if anyone has issues with a health records and information manager, there is a way of instituting a claim for disciplinary action and how that claim is going to be administered. Clause 33 provides for what would amount to professional misconduct. There are people who would be engaging in things that might not be what the profession anticipates. However, anything done in good faith ought to be found to be a misdemeanour that would then require the Board’s sanction. The Bill also gives provisions for purposes of supporting the Board with funds. Clause 34 speaks to how the Board will be funded. There are miscellaneous provisions in this Bill which talk about the certificate and seal of the Board. There is also a general penalty for any mistake or misdemeanor that is committed by a member of the health records and information profession, and for which no penalty is provided in the Act. In a nutshell, this Bill seeks to regulate the conduct of the profession of health records and information managers. This has not been done before. There are other professions in the health sector that have fairly been regulated. Nurses and doctors have their boards that regulate their conduct. The health records and information managers have, for a long time, not had a Board to regulate their affairs. That is what we seek to achieve in this Bill."
