Lesley Barron @drlesleybarron·

@dpepe88 Well I am already. I'll take you one further and say every consult should be a form of eConsult. I send back a number of referrals to GPs each week. Also would make studying the data on referrals much easier.

@SolidFooting It would appear as though the people who have the power have a vested interest in keeping the status quo, while the end-user (patients and caregivers) must rely on the benevolence of leadership to change things, even if patient safety is at stake. #WhyWeRevolt

Bureaucratic, remuneration barriers impede public desire for digital health—while private orgs innovate/eat public’s lunch.

We have responsibility to be stewards of the environment. A clinician I used to work with, who was much sought after as a speaker, had rule of thumb. She would not travel to a scientific meeting if travel time there & back was longer than participation time at the conference/mtg https://t.co/c7IynUFSJq

Paul Peters, PhD 💧@unitepangaea·

It is power that causes systemic health inequities (Pathologies of Power).

It is also empowerment that improves individual health outcomes.

But, these two must come together. Dismantling structures of inequity and empowering individuals.

“The 10 largest pharmaceutical companies in Canada gave more than $151 million to doctors and hospitals...over the last 2 years.

But unlike the U.S. & many EU countries, Canada has no legislation compelling drug companies to reveal (why)” https://t.co/uQgYfeWVPA

@PatientCritical @Infoway Thanks for the kind words :) Yes to both questions: patient advisors (this year the incredible @ProulxLaurie and @DonnaRubenstein) set the criteria and make the selections. An update is planned for the scholarship webpage with this info.

In short: education & info patients can access to make healthcare choices-compared to junk food or yogurt-is tragic.

It will only change if journalists focus on inequities & consumers demand gov impose #transparency & mandate more education & choice.

Returning from @CMA_Docs #cmahealthsummit inspired by conversations, shared learning, new/renewed friendships.

Great to share passion for healthcare improvement w/like-minded clinicians, industry & policy-makers.

Still a way to go w/ #patientinclusion-but we’re working on it :)
