About this template

The Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) Assessment template is a comprehensive tool designed for family medicine specialists and other healthcare providers involved in evaluating patients' eligibility for MAID. This detailed template ensures that all necessary criteria are assessed, including patient consent, medical condition, and decision-making capacity. It also provides a structured format for documenting patient history, current medications, and allergies. The template is particularly useful for clinicians in Canada, where MAID is legally regulated, and helps ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards. This template is ideal for creating thorough and accurate MAID assessments using Heidi, the AI medical scribe.
