“It is harder to build a business focused on clinical quality or patient value than to milk the status quo. But once established, revenue models take on a life and logic of their own. Please choose carefully.” And yes, govt-funded projects have “revenue” models too. https://twitter.com/annafoat/status/1222206663136088065

Not more portals.
Not more pilot programs.
Not more #silos or pockets of excellence.

National, interoperable #digitalhealth with the patient in control of their own data.

Tomorrow is #BellLetsTalk day in support of mental health, unless you're on the wrong side of @bell's prison phone contract.

Consistency matters.

Report from @kidsmentalhlth released Monday, says 28,000 children/youth in Ontario are on wait lists for #mentalhealth treatment across the province - up from ~12,000 in 2017. This is not acceptable, we need ++ investment! #mentalhealthishealth https://twitter.com/cp24/status/1221759202324025345

From the audience: My daughter has 23 patient portals… [this is the reality for many people w/complex conditions… and shows why single portal doesn’t address their needs - and how hard it is to capture details of the patient journey with data… currently] @ONC_HealthIT #onc2020

Prof. Myrra Vernooij-Dassen tells us in no uncertain terms if you want to address loneliness; evidence is clear on what not to do: Don’t address loneliness directly. It’s a stigmatizing term that ppl who’re lonely don’t want to be associated with. Instead build community. #ABCD

This article mentions one thing I want to see--a solution we need INSTEAD of 18 more incomplete, non-sharing portals (on our way to true #interoperability):

"Create An Immediate Bridge...Using Technology That Consumers Have Right Now—(secure)Email"

This is why @PatientCritical Co-op accepts no outside funding:

Study: "groups sponsored by industry (show) positions favourable to the sponsor"

We need to "foster independent patient groups...transparent & accountable practices & codes on funding."

Epic sent an email co-signed by other healthcare CEOs that misrepresents #interoperability.

Why? #BigData wants sole control of your data.

"Consumerism in healthcare...& EHR vendors should not...hide behind claims of false security risks to avoid it."

"CFIB want to see the ON govt replace all fax machines by the end of 2020 & other outdated paper forms with digital technology."

This only covers govt offices-not hospitals, insurers or clinicians offices.

Annette McKinnon @anetto·

When patients are consulted 92% desire physicians to explain all potential options, elicit their preferences, and engage them in preference and knowledge exchange to some extent. Reality: only 39% of patients felt that Shared Decision Making occurred in their consultations. 1/2

Similar arguments are made by #bigpharma when profit is threatened by legislation and price controls.

#bigdata is big business.
#transparency & #accountability is required to protect patients.
