How am I supposed to go to bed after this game? Feel like I just took a 5-hour energy and got injected with an epipen.
New CDN Healthcare: After seeing a lot of debate on Ontario's surgical backlog plan, this post provides a perspective on what criticism is valid, what's not, and what we should actually be focusing on to make sure this initiative works as intended. open.substack.com/pub/cdnhealthc…
Nice to see one of these reports/maps specifically for Canadian health tech - we've come a long way! penderventures.com/post/2022-year…
New CDN Healthcare: I heard it is illegal to have a healthcare newsletter and not do a predictions post at the end/beginning of the year, so here we are. However, I decided to take a 10-year outlook because why not? And nothing changes in a year anyway. open.substack.com/pub/cdnhealthc…

Most of the 2023 prediction posts I've seen thus far read like they were fully written by ChatGPT (AKA very surface level and cookie-cutter). Thankfully, this @chrissyfarr one has more spice and nuance to it (particularly the shift from VBP back to FFS). open.substack.com/pub/ovsecondop…
Articles like this leaves me wondering where in Canada are we doing this sort of integrated health and social care programming? Feel like the US is increasingly incentivizing the piloting of these more holistic programs, but haven't come across much here managedhealthcareexecutive.com/view/to-proact…
This research from 180 organizations and 35 million virtual visits highlights how much non-surgical specialty care can be done in a largely virtual fashion (and is a strong rebuttal to the common argument that virtual care often leads to duplicative in person care)
