Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

Acknowledging that patients are all at different points in their journey, some don't want to access data, some may want to only learn from their doctor.

Creating a transparent system to automate #patientdata access is important all the same, and allows for eduation & growth.

Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

Doctors can be amazing advocates for their patients. Patient data ownership is an area there is tremendous disagreement.

With respect to how much doctors juggle, know, determine & decide...access to patient data should be complete, digital and instant--no decision required.

The Israeli government, confident it had beaten the coronavirus, invited students back to school in May.

Within days, infections were reported at a Jerusalem high school. It became the largest outbreak in a single school in Israel, possibly the world. https://nyti.ms/2EJWh7H

Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

Should masks be mandatory for all?

Should a grocery store sanitize and notify if a worker tests positive for #COVID19?

Should a teacher be required to disclose travel out of province & quarantine for 2 wks?

Should a doctor?

Are your answers the same for all 4 questions?

Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

This is a great list, I totally agree @anetto...but as #COVID19 has shown us...we have none of that.

We are much further removed than many of us thought we were just a few months ago.

We need widespread public support to get there, activating the general public to speak up.

Outside Toronto few can access #digitalhealth or portals.

When I stepped on on a rusty nail I called Public Health Unit to check my tetanus.

My PHU forwards after hrs to Public Works--which has no data access & advised me to try ER.

ER had no records either.

Wasteful. Costly.

Patient Critical Co-op @PatientCritical·

We need people.

We need voices.

We need to amplify outside of social media. Phone calls and emails to decision makers.

Or our concerns will go nowhere.

GMail arguably offers good value for service: you get something in return & pay with your data.

Everyone has different comfort levels sharing data... but should know enough to make an informed decision.

Here's our talk with @jessehirsh on data literacy: https://patientcritical.com/podcast/jesse-hirsh-on-data-literacy/

A couple weeks back on @Infoway's Podcast we delved into Patient Empowerment w/Annette McKinnon, Aidan Scott & PJ Mierau.

This frank, raw conversation explores how digital interoperability & patient interoperability are colliding in the age of #covid19:

Throwing money at the issue won’t fix it....need to address the actual problems and allocate the money to where it’s needed (not just building the same inefficient facilities).
