Nursing practice in Canada: the influence of current and proposed legislation.

Nursing practice in Canada is regulated by separate acts in each of the 10 provinces and two territories. These acts grant self-governance to the nursing profession, define a scope of practice, and establish mechanisms for registration and quality assurance. The Canada Health Act 1984, the Agreement on Internal Trade (1994) between provinces, and the North American Free Trade Agreement have potentially great effects on Canadian nursing by altering the regulation of professionals within the various jurisdictions.

The effect of the New Zealand Accident Compensation legislation on medical malpractice.

The New Zealand Accident Compensation Act 1972 and its amending Act of 1982 have substantially altered the attitudes of the law, the medical profession and the public, to personal injury by accident. The element of fault is removed and the uncertainty of the outcome of a claim under adversarial court action no longer exists. Rehabilitation assistance on recovery from injury as well as accident prevention measures are cited in the Act as statutory responsibilities of the New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation. Mechanisms of dealing with medical malpractice, with illustrative examples from ophthalmic practice, are described. Most such incidents are described as medical misadventure.
