This op-ed against @PMPRB_CEPMB reforms also links to one in favor.

Read both & decide if you believe #bigpharma's reasons for current low R&D-on record profits.

Then decide if you believe their promise to do better if Feds don't tighten regulations :) https://t.co/E8PNDYsRHB.

There are some key steps that may help patients secure a seat at the healthcare table:

-learn as much as you can & share with others

-treat other stakeholders w/same respect you want for patients

-don't take $ from gov't or biz: your voice blends w/theirs

Ford gov plans to eliminate 825 full time equivalent positions at health agencies... to be merged into Ontario Health (super-agency)

During last year’s election...Ford repeatedly promised...not a single person would lose their job under his gov’t. #onpoli https://t.co/W8PBwfdzDx

@atgreenhill @RavKarumanchi @creativedlab @barneyp @getcareteam @drcadesky @Philip_Edgcumbe @IrfanDhalla So what is at the core of fragmentation?
Power - and a willingness to share it.
Lack of vision and short term solutions to complex issues.
Fear of 'cost' and an unwillingness to invest for long term gain.
Consistent policy that outlines parameters for 'system' interoperability

My dad was scheduled for invasive surgery today.

After great physical/psychological prep & 3+ hrs in pre-op, surgeon had to extend another surgery & cancel dad’s-but we understood.

Then the surgeon called & personally apologized.

Now THAT’s personalized medicine!

A1. As a clinician, a hurried consultation is one in which I choose not to pursue a patient hint cause doing so would take time I don’t have (e.g., other patients are waiting, already too late) and doing so makes me feel as if I did not fully care for the patient. #WhyWeRevolt

This is a terrific article by @DrAliDamji in CJPL where Canada can learn from health innovations created in Sweden. Flipping the framework, patient safety receipts and "what's best for Esther" are excellent examples of easy grass roots change. Read on! https://t.co/phKpufpmXx

This wk @patientcritical sent a #patientinclusion survey to health conferences that offer patient awards-incl:

-set scorecard used?
-how many jurors (patients?)
-jurors public & unaffiliated to avoid any bias?

Stay tuned #patientsincluded

The proof of commitment to #patientsaspartners?

Which orgs tie performance bonuses, profit-sharing & board makeup to true #codesign?

Don’t let orgs call selves ‘patient-inclusive’ unless patients sit on all boards, w/#transparency & public roles to make decisions with teeth.
