The Patient Advocate Form is used by patients to establish a record of their selected advocate. A patient advocate is a person the patient chooses to support them and act on their behalf. The actions of a patient advocate are based on the wishes of the patient; a patient advocate cannot make their own decisions about the patient’s healthcare. See https://mips.ca/ for more information on Patient Advocates and Patient Safety.
