There's a new custom in downtown Vancouver. Every evening at 7 PM people come out on their balconies to clap and cheer for their health professionals. They are recognizing the front line heroes in this epic new war we find ourselves in.

Soon enough, virtual visits, incl video & secure messaging, will be more common than in-person visits in @ONThealth .At that point we won’t be talking virtual care anymore; it will just be called ‘health care’. #primarycare @celliottability otn.ca/blog/video-visits-eve…
Virtual visits just became a whole lot more mainstream in Ontario. Here’s how. otn.ca/blog/video-visits-eve…
Minister Elliott has announced the Digital First for Health strategy. In the first phase, patients will be able to connect with their doctors via video visits using their own devices, and doctors will now be compensated just as if it were an in-person visit.
Proud to announce our Digital First for Health strategy that will bring the patient experience into the 21st century by making care simpler, easier & more convenient as part of our plan to end hallway health care. #onpoli news.ontario.ca/mohltc/en/20…

Thanks for the article @CMAJ Our pilot program showed that patients really appreciate being able to text their own primary care doctor and most of the 200+ participating docs liked it too. This is one place our health system needs to go next!

How can digital health move health-care delivery from a physician-centred world to a patient-centred world? First, we must engage the patient in the design of modalities. Services must be easy to use. Policy & regs must encourage "digital first". @OTNtelemedicine #CMAHealthSummit
