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!

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:

What a wise quote for thinking about creating the future we want, post #Covid19: "Machines work on feed-back. Minds work on feed-forward. We don’t need thermostats; we need new compasses. There is no ‘back to normal’. Normal has not been waiting for us". From @LeandroEHerrero

.@vmontori: change comes from visionary leaders, patient advocates, & by overcoming fear.

There's no lack of initiatives or voices, but fear of 'messing up' HC.

Change takes courage from each of us.

Canadian HC is more likely to focus on care over profit...but it's been underfunded by policymakers with different ideas over policies of HC (IE abandoning elderly in nursing homes & isolating caregivers with blanket bans).

Is there specific legislation we can champion to de-commodify our HC systems?

@vmontori: Eliminate profit & clinicians coming to HC not to practice, but to advance in biotech and data industries.

True for not-4-profits w/well-paid board members too.

The patient with multiple conditions often sees worst outcomes in HC system due to a lack of understanding the patient's need (as chosen by them) in order to respond based on those needs.

We need to align #data & #HealthTech with the PURPOSE of care....which should be patient's best interests, not sale of #patientdata or other profits of the institution or industry.

When talking about evidence based care, evidence is adjective...CARE is the verb (or noun :).

We're seeing departure from evidence to #data- a dangerous progression.
