(July 7, 2010) - On July 1, changes to the Protection for Persons in Care Act (PPCA) came into law in Alberta. These changes impose greater responsibility for LPNs, staff, volunteers and contractors to identify and report suspected abuse of adult Albertans who receive publicly funded care or support services. Included in these changes are a new definition of abuse that focuses on serious harm, a fine for failure to report, and guidelines that include reporting health professionals to their governing body, such as CLPNA.
