What do you mean by legislation compliant?
There are two components that refer to “legislation compliance”. Firstly, our regulating colleges in the three regulated provinces mandate how electronic files must be kept. The CMTO, CMTBC and CMTNFL states the requirement for electronic record keeping:
- Entries should be chronological, including the date of each input.
- Patient confidentiality is paramount and therefore access should be prohibited to unauthorized personnel, utilizing codes or passwords.
- An audit trail should be maintained allowing the Registrant to make additions or corrections to the record. Original entries must not be modified and any additions or corrections should identify the date they were made and the identity of the individual who made them.
- Regular back-up copies should be retained, preferably off site. Safe storage is paramount.
- The system should be able to produce a hard copy promptly, when a patient requests same.
The features on DigitalRMT satisfy the above requirements. DigitalRMT also recommends that you store any other files such as copies of x-rays, lab results, or referral slips in the same place you keep the files that you download from this website.
Secondly, the term “legislation compliance” refers to the complete health file as set out in the legislation for each province as well as the massage acts with in each province1. Both the specific forms required and the contents of those forms are specified within the regulations. To have a complete health file, all five forms on DigitalRMT need to be completed. In any particular form, there are required fields and fields that only need to be filled out if applicable (such as the assessment form where the top portion is required information where the bottom portion is optional). All forms will have required fields marked. 1. Compliant forms refers to electronic filing requirements and health file requirements as set out in the standards of practice of Ontario and New Foundland and The Scope of Practice for the Province of British Columbia (standards (4-10,14) ) , along with: Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA), Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, 2000 (PIPEDA), the Regulated Health Professions Act 1991 (Ontario), the Health Care Consent Act 1996 (Ontario), Health Care (Consent) and Care Facilities (Admission) Act 2000 (British Columbia) the Massage Therapy Act 1991 (Ontario)., Consent To Treatment And Health Care Directives Act 2010 (New Foundland and Labrador), Massage Therapy Act, 2005 (New Foundland and Labrador), Health Professions Act 1996 (British Columbia), Massage Therapists Regulation (British Columbia)
What I do with my existing paper health records?
There are a few options.
First you can just store your current paper records in a secure location and from this point forward change to electronic record keeping. If this is done, DigitalRMT recommends that you transcribe the last 3 treatments, and their health history to your files on this website for reference.
Secondly you can scan all your paper files and store your scanned files securely on your laptop or electronic storage such as an external hard drive or USB flash drive. Always make sure stored files are password protected. Thirdly, although labour intensive, you could transcribe all your paper records to the electronic format. *DigitalRMT recommends you always have a backup of electronic health records. This website provides one source of files, we recommend that you back up any files on this website to a second location that is password protected.
How does my client sign the Health History form?

Referring to the relevant legislation, a verbal OR signed consent on any form is allowed. It is permitted to have verbal consent, but you must indicate that on the bottom of the form. The forms on DigitalRMT are designed to record that statement.
If you feel more comfortable with the actual signature, or would like your client to fill out the health form themselves, there are a few options available.

Download and open the document on your tablet using an appropriate App that will allow for marking up a document (such as ezPDF or RepliGo). Have the client fill out with a stylus, save file and keep with your backed up health files.

Have the client fill out with a pen designed to write on plastic, such as an overhead pen. Then simply transcribe the information to the health history file on your membership. Wipe laminated form clean and it is ready for your next new client.* If you would like to record the signature on the form, simply take a digital picture of the signature on the laminated form, and store the digital signature file with your backed up health files.
