Legal loopholes & inadequate #PrimaryCare mean patients are, quite literally, paying a price.

A well reported story on episodic, walk-in style #VirtualCare I was happy to provide comment for.

Good news for the sustainability of current Ontario public drug coverage.

Really says something about Rx prices when even a conservative govt moves forward with these changes.

Would have been even better news if public drug coverage were universal.

A great pre-print giving more context to today's changes in #OnHealth virtual care funding

"Compared to Ontarians attending any family physician virtual visit, virtual walk-in patients were less likely to have a subsequent in-person physician visit, but were more likely to visit the emergency department."

Significant changes today in the way virtual care is funded in Ontario, mostly positive, but not with some significant issues that need to be addressed.
