Very sad that some physicians and the public continue the narrative that “family doctors” are the only solution. Nurse practitioners also reduce mortality and morbidity in their patients and work autonomously without supervision from a physician. Thank you Dr Acorn & Dr Newberry for your collaborative approach.
Electronic health records are definitely a great idea but which doctors have the time to read them. Doctors have their operations based off how many patients they can get seen in a hour. Pharmacist could be administering shots yearly and otherwise by using electronic health records but we don't have national phamacare and most people don’t have phamacare plans. Then again we are talking about time again and personnel. I find it interesting that if we went private there are more Doctor's, more time, personnel and abilities. I think the bottom line is more Doctor's and nurses. Seems to me that we are working vary hard not to do that. Systems always can be improved. Efficiencies can always be found. But let's deal with the bottom line, more money into the system, produce the Doctor's, nurses and pharmacists that are needed . Everything else is just is just smoke and mirrors and lowering of standards.
Ontario governments have cut more than $2 billion from pharmacists over the last 10 years. How reassuring that $1 billion went to a failed EMR project.

Ontario paid over $1 Billion for integrative health records...and didn't get it. It seems we have abandoned the vision for this essential platform.
