Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

Ireland's cautionary tale: "private health insurance...allowed a 2-tier system to develop w/long waiting lists in the public system & limited financial protection for households. It has impeded a fair, efficient & integrated system & there has been profiteering by some insurers."

Exactly why we need #accountability
#transparency
#interoperability & #regulations for all the above

"At least 3 million Canadians do not get essential medicines...politically powerless, too busy deciding between groceries & drugs to mobilize....New Zealand, with fewer people than British Columbia, pays far less for both patented & generic drugs than Canada."

The PM's mandate letter for health points to a transformative agenda; pharmacare, primary care, palliative care, women's health & much more. Essential reading for anyone interested in health services & policy research, #patients, #caregivers & #HCPs. https://pm.gc.ca/en/mandate-letters/minister-health-mandate-letter

Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

I urge you all to fill out this survey honestly & thoughtfully.

Canada has no #digitalhealth strategy or #healthdata #interoperability & #patientdata protections.

@DigiHealthCA will be an influencer in deciding who profits & who protects Canadians' data for generations to come.

"The politicians of tomorrow are YouTubers today. Their ability to connect with their constituency, mobilize (&) spin & frame their positions and perspective will allow them to successfully seek public office in the future."

Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

On #healthadvocacy: @PatientCritical Co-op invites members to cover those without financial means to add their voice (anonymously on both sides) for this reason.

Advocacy & agency has to go mainstream & become common language all patients can feel safe & empowered to employ.

"Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. These words of Henry Ford have been on my mind recently, as I've contemplated emerging world of #patient & #caregiver partnership in Canada. #healthcare 1/5

Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

Are you concerned when you hear well-meaning businesses & advocates who 'dont want to throw the baby out with the bathwater'?

Why is defending funding of ANY service more important than #legislation & #regulation to scale #interoperability & #patientdata access to all Canadians?

For those interested in #patienengagement improvement: this podcast episode used some of my critique as a jumping-off point to discuss issues of concern to engaged patients. Worth a listen for some compelling honest moments in a well-facilitated conversation. https://twitter.com/PatientCritical/status/1202692579940323347

Health system transformation starts & ends with #patient & #caregiver exp! Meaningful change doesn't always have to be costly. "Small" things like open visiting hrs, no noise policies at night & addressing PJ paralysis are transformative, easy to implement & cheap #Cdnhealth
