As of Dec 1 I’m taking a role with Ontario Public Service to chair a small but mighty team tasked with primary care reform, to make sure everyone in Ontario is attached to a family doctor or NP providing ongoing comprehensive care in a publicly funded team https://t.co/gdVpNYhZ3O

Fun fact: nearly every person in Denmark 🇩🇰 has the name of their GP (or group of GPs) on their healthcard

It's an organized system where 98+% have access to primary care.

How do they do it? One key lies in how GPs are organized. 🧵

If it’s not documented, it’s not tracked. 😩❤️

Wondering if I should start leaving this in my own notes.

Total health spending in Denmark 🇩🇰 is similar to Canada 🇨🇦, yet almost everyone in Denmark has access to primary care

I'm here on a 9-day tour to learn how they make it work

Today I met with Morten Petersen, CEO of https://t.co/TlGgqy5emW, the Danish e-health platform 🧵

Measles is highly contagious.

9 in 10 people who are around a person with measles will become infected if they are not protected by the vaccine.

The best protection against measles is getting vaccinated.

Family doctors are the foundation of Ontario’s health care system, and Ontario needs family doctors spending time with patients, not on paperwork. The OCFP will continue to advocate and bring forward solutions to help reduce the administrative burden.

"40 years after the Canada health act found its place in our history we are more than ready for the next act. That act should move us from an inefficient assortment of centres of excellence to a coordinated approach with guaranteed access to primary care."

Thanks @janephilpott!

In Ontario, we are seeing measles cases, in part due to routine childhood vaccinations missed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Make sure children are up to date with their vaccines 👉https://t.co/XKoBMF7zLr

The priority is to ensure children are caught up or getting their regularly scheduled vaccines. Thanks to family doctors @allan_k_grillMD
