Consent agreement

Oct 13, 2020

​On October 13, 2020, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a Consent Agreement between BCCNM and Maureen Maher of Port Coquitlam, B.C., to remediate practice issues that occurred in November 2015 and June to July 2019 related to breach of patient privacy by sending confidential patient information to her personal email address and storing those documents on her home computer, providing her personal email address to a patient, accessing the medical records of a patient with whom she had no professional relationship, attending the facility and accessing medical records while on scheduled leave, and working after hours without permission.

The Registrant has voluntarily agreed to terms equivalent to a condition on practice, including: a suspension of 21 days, a public reprimand, educational coursework, and sessions with a Regulatory Practice Consultant.

The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public.

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Inuit​ and Métis peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
