“Many #FamilyDoctors have left their practices since the start of the #pandemic, leaving some #Canadians struggling to find providers, especially in rural and remote areas. According to #CIHI, the Atlantic provinces had the highest percentage of respondents who said that providers in their area were not taking new patients.

lessons about #VirtualCare learned during the pandemic should not replace in-person care but be used to help improve access to care and reduce costs.”

“Less than one year after the #longCOVID clinic opened at Royal Jubilee Hospital, the province is closing it and moving three of the province’s four clinics to #virtualcare.

Island Health announced RJH’s clinic would open on April 22, 2022, and now has sent a letter to patients that the care would be moving online in March.”

Congress has made major progress to safeguard vital #virtualcare services — but additional action is needed to permanently protect the patients who have come to rely on #telehealth. @TAforAmerica https://twitter.com/KHNews/status/1620432385933443072

“#Canadian patients and health care providers are struggling with the greatest health human resources crisis our country has ever seen,” says Dr. Alika Lafontaine, CMA president. “Physicians recognize that #pan-Canadian #licensure is one tool to help address regional inequalities in care delivery while supporting cross-border #virtualcare and enabling physicians to support their colleagues across jurisdictions.”

One could ask: what does it mean for interprovincial virtual care? #telehealth #virtualcare

Belgium just more than doubled the list of allowed outpatient services. This should encourage hospitals to have patients returning and reovering quicker at home.

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.
