One of the biggest reasons why so many are dying of #overdose in BC is because they don't know when their drugs contain fentanyl
More access to drug checking could save lives. It's available in some places now, but not most. My first for @CapitalDailyVic

First #BCHIMSSCOVID meeting online now about COVID impact in BC, great to see the health community online! Have missed seeing everyone in person. The upside of COVID is this great drive to innovation.
As a new member, great meeting other members of the Canadian College of Health Leaders from the Victoria chapter last week. Look forward to meeting Vancouver chapter members tonight! #cchlbclm#cchleaders#bchc
@SolidFooting Excellent advice Julie, I hope we can help significantly transform health care in Canada this year. Happy New Year to you and everyone, all the best in 2020!
Improving patient safety & public protection means better supporting #bchealth care workers & the colleges that regulate them. Proud to be w/ colleagues @NormLetnick @SoniaFurstenau to invite the public to read our proposal & provide feedback by Jan 10. https://t.co/HNonv1gQ74
Important question posed by @drandrewb: "The march of science has left too many on the sidelines. Will digital health widen current inequalities?" He mentions that digital health can be an enabler for people to be more human. #ThinkDigitalHealth
As we consider how technology can improve health care, it is important to consider the homeless and the impact of poverty in our plans. “The way we deliver health care is punishing the poor,” says @drandrewb#cdnhealth#thinkdigitalhealth
“Big Bang is dead,” @DStevensAvato. Enjoyed meeting many great folks, listening & moderating your session on “hybrid integration of systems” incl. examples from BC health sector & beyond. Well done. Thanks to all who participated too. #ThinkDigitalHealth#cdnhealth#onhealth
@SolidFooting@Infoway The problem is multi-fold; technical limitations in existing EHR/EMR systems, the sheer multitude of systems involving health information, lack of a holistic national strategy / policy, and political barriers that inhibit the centralized change needed to unlock the information.
As of October 1, all US health care providers in US must support FIHR protocol for health data interoperability, says @rryanhowells of Leavitt Partners #thinkdigitalhealth#healthdata
Today, Remembrance Day, we reflect on and offer our gratitude to our veterans who fought for our country, for our freedoms and for our way of life in Canada. We must always remember the sacrifices they made - and make - for us. #RemembranceDay#CanadaRemembers#LestWeForget
