> IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for Prince George files, the Northern Health referral centre.

## Northern files travel furthest and can least afford a recall

Resource and transport injuries across the north route through Prince George, and some specialties exist only in the Lower Mainland. An incomplete file discovered at the examination means a second long trip or a report with holes.

- Northern Health community records lag behind the booking by weeks.
- Scarce-specialty gaps force a Lower Mainland trip planned too late.

## What IMECore does about it

### Complete before travel

The file is whole before anyone moves.

### Video where the questions allow

File reviews and re-assessments skip the trip.

## How it runs

1. **Send the referral.** Forward the referral, questions, and due date.
2. **We confirm the setting.** In-person or video, confirmed on referral.
3. **Records land on the case.** Notes, imaging, and priors attach with source.
4. **Review and release.** Release waits until every question is answered.

## Questions people ask

### Do you have an office in Prince George?

No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Prince George. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across the north and the province.

### Which assessment types run in Prince George?

Independent Medical Examination, Functional Capacity Evaluation, Medical File Review (paper review), Psychological Assessment, Psychiatric Assessment, and Virtual Assessment, matched to the referral questions.

### Do resource-sector injuries change the assessment?

The mechanism and the camp rotation schedule matter to causation and to return-to-work planning. We attach shift patterns and job demands so restrictions come back against the actual rotation.
