@GailYentaBeck @JoeBabaian 100%, primary care is the backbone of our healthcare system. We need improved support from government, adding more resources into primary care. Prevention is key. Strong collaboration with specialists can help to provide meaningful, interdisciplinary and comprehensive care #hcldr

Your experiences align strongly with the findings in our paper! Check out that last quote 🔎

[MAAP Study @MaapStudy]

@GailYentaBeck @JoeBabaian #hcldr T1 Psychology and psychiatry were top of the list of specialists with problematic wait times in our study. Definitely concerning, especially given the rise in mental health concerns during the pandemic!

[MAAP Study @MaapStudy]

@GailYentaBeck Very true! In Nova Scotia, phone appointments have grown to be a useful tool in Family Medicine to help see and manage patients who don't require an in person visit.

@fsgoldstein T3 #hcldr That's an excellent point! In our forthcoming paper, a participant identified this exact issue. Some patient care can be managed effectively in primary care.

@GailYentaBeck @JoeBabaian Agreed, Gail! Creating interdisciplinary teams to help provide more timely care for patients is a key piece to reducing wait times.
