@NightShiftMD Don’t understand that economy vs disease control is a false dichotomy

Are mouthing platitudes around easing disease control for the economic well-being of lower income Canadians and people of colour...when the epidemiology of this disease in our own city is ...

Where did it go in #COVID19?

Will #digitalhealth work for patients or against us?

Holy sh*t. 🤯

Canadian parliament did an estimate on how much universal basic income would cost across 🇨🇦, and it's about $90 billion per year.

For context, the 🇨🇦 oil industry received $60 billion in subsidies in just 2015.

Why isn't this done already?

Great analysis via @MA_Gagnon of
Court finding: confidential rebates to distributors/insurance plans should not be taken into account in pricing, increases cost for patients with deductibles or co-pays. Agree with sentiment: @PMPRB_CEPMB must protect Canadians, not drug plans.

Sadly, so much of what we discussed with Dave deBronkart -over two years ago- remains relevant and unresolved.

Thanks for keeping up the good fight @ePatientDave!

Bianca Wylie @biancawylie·

This problem exists across every public service. After decades of under-funding and privatizing, doing tech/data things that might normally seem intuitive to "fix/upgrade" as solo moves could make the entire system much worse due to automation/more privatization as a "solution".

People in these systems are all part of providing care and act as gating supports in each process. Not defending workarounds or old messy systems but definitely respect them.

If we don’t focus on solving the right parts of our health care problems (funding and people and systems) we will definitely make them worse with tech. Faxes are not a high priority problem.

reminder a month in:

provincial jail costs- $9,400
hospital ward- $13,900
shelter- $2,129

social housing- $1,545

housing is a matter of social justice and sound economics.

Video replay is up for the discussion "Patient-Centricity & the Covid Pandemic" with @vmontori. Very good discussion of how & why patients really aren't included in their own healthcare decisions & what steps may help change that:
