Major milestone🎉 RFB launched for the Primary Care Medical Record program. Family docs & teams have been using digital records💻 for decades, but in 1000s of stranded instances. Best opportunity ever for an interoperable system to benefit all Ontarians.

Once operational, the new system will support seamless access to care and reduce paperwork for providers.

Friends, colleagues & I spent yrs raising $ for Stephen Lewis Foundation incl @giveaday. We were inspired by this great Canadian, Stephen Lewis who spent his life in public service. He helped us see injustice more clearly, motivated us to respond in practical ways. Rest in peace.

This is what govt should be doing… providing standardized, top-notch infrastructure that individual practitioners can rely on.
Support primary care experts with the tools they need to do the jobs they know best!
Fingers crossed on usability, budget, and scheduling. 😉

Something new for family practice nurses! It's an upskilling program for RNs to use their full scope in primary care. Plus more education seats for Physician Assistants & NPs. Great news for the primary care workforce, getting us closer to team-based care for everyone in Ontario.
Ontario is investing $30M to expand its primary care health-care workforce. This new funding will upskill over 1,400 registered nurses for primary care, create 170 nurse practitioner education seats and add up to 150 physician assistant education seats.

Remembering Kirsty Duncan as one of the kindest people I worked with in Parliament. She was such a champion for both science and sports. An exemplary public servant with a genuinely compassionate soul. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…
