@joshuapliu@KLASresearch@SeamlessMD You’re gonna have a trophy case to rival LeBron soon enough - congrats to you and the team on the success and recognition!
@brettbel It is also ironic for folks to cite the concept of some virtual care going against the "spirit and intent" of the CHA when one of its principles is that everyone should have reasonable access to care. Our system has been going against the spirit of that principle for a long time.
@Rjeff24 Your insider info and math don’t do anything to support your initial statement. And by your logic, the implication is that any high assist guy in history must not have been a good hockey assist guy (which is obviously not the case).

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.

@jmarcus_md@drmwarner You’d hope that the regulations and guardrails that are built around this would be strong enough to stop or at least strongly dissuade organizations from doing so, but this is a valid concern.
@coteau The level of willful ignorance and/or fact-twisting that politicians from all parties exhibit when it comes to healthcare never ceases to amaze me
@minhas_andy To have one of the takeaways from the lead author be that virtual walk-ins are net contributing to ED demand is disingenuous. If only 8% of the virtual walk-in visits resulted in an ED visit within 30 days, where would that other 92% have gone without the virtual walk-in option?
@minhas_andy This study was designed with an anti-virtual walk-in agenda. 3 & 6 are the same ideas that came to mind for me. The comp shouldn't be virtual walk-in vs virtual family doc; it should be virtual walk-in vs nothing (and imo, virtual walk-in is still a big net positive in that comp)
@B_Madden4 I think the incumbents in most industries are hated, or at least not very well liked. Energy, airlines, telco, big tech (especially as of late). They say don’t hate the player, hate the game, but with these industries the “game” was largely invented by the (incumbent) players.
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.

After a totally normal "humans vs the rest of the animal kingdom in all-out war" debate in one of my group chats, we pivoted to a slightly more interesting and productive conversation about some of our random predictions not for 2023 (boring!), but for 2043 (unique!).

9. Globalization will die, pushing the developing world into the "dark ages" (my friend's words):
If nationalist movements continue to succeed in richer countries (and domestic production gets increasingly prioritized), investment into the developing world will crater.
