I had the pleasure of moderating this incredible session by @Brian_M_Wong demonstrating how outcomes can be transformed for LTC residents with the right team, vision and data. Showed us what is possible when using fundamental QI concepts. #MacQI2022 . See you next year!
Great first #MacQI2022 plenary by Dr. Brian Wong @Brian_M_Wong! Always at the leading edge. Definitely lots to think about with regards to Macro-level QI - policy change, laws, billing/procedures for new ways of doing!
Thanks so much to our abstract winners Drs. Achieng Tago, Mercedes Lupo, and Seychelle Yohanna for presenting their work on decreasing sedative-hypnotic use in older adults!

Significant immune response (antibody & T cell) in those who received a 1st dose of AstraZenca's #COVID19 vaccine followed by an mRNA vaccine for dose 2.
Data from Germany, recently published in @NatureMedicine 👇
(Many Canadian's took this approach. Solid plan...thanks, NACI.)
A career in medicine is frequently viewed as a barrier to #motherhood. Most studies evaluating #pregnancy and their outcomes in #physicians are based on self-reported surveys, but @mccusimano, @AndreaSimpsonMD and team wanted to know more than surveys could provide. 1/
Frailty is highly prevalent in patients with kidney disease and is associated with morbidity and mortality. This study found that frailty prevalence varies by measurement tool used, and agreement between these measurements is fair to moderate https://t.co/RwLoiAV2dS @SeyMD
@JesseBlake Is there a team that has sucked as much as the leafs have in the history of all hockey????? Every year same brutal feeling watching them lose. I don’t want to see Marner in a leafs jersey next year. I actually can’t look at him anymore. I just see a kid that can’t step it up.
The data from England is concerning - while there is still lots to learn. Bottom line: aim for as high vaccination coverage as possible and get those second vaccines into arms as quickly as possible - this will protect us from a major wave with B.1.617.2 in Fall.
🇨🇦 is now receiving larger scheduled weekly shipments of #COVID19 vaccines, with 2.9 million mRNA vaccines arriving this week.
Pfizer increasing weekly shipments from 2 to 2.4 million.
Time to expeditiously get 1st & 2nd doses in arms.
