Family medicine researchers find real-world tension between proving efficacy in controlled contexts and achieving scale-up as part of effective routine care for the Health TAPESTRY (@HealthTapestry) program. Read the full study via: https://t.co/h7jVi4ZSYx. @DeeMangin et al.

A real team effort that would not have been possible without the collaboration with the Red Cross, WECCC, and the 6 participating FHTs.

[Health TAPESTRY @HealthTapestry]

Great to hear from @pricedDFM at the @redcrosscanada National Health Symposium. Health TAPESTRY volunteers provided key information about clients' health needs and goals which helped inform the care they received from their health care team.

[Julie Datta @juliedatta]

Very touching to hear about the practical ways that volunteers helped connect clients to things they needed - anywhere from attending tests/appointments to making new friends in their community. Truly patient-centred care.

[Health TAPESTRY @HealthTapestry]

Lovely to hear from panelists about their experience with Health TAPESTRY. Volunteers are experts in their communities and helped identify and address barriers clients experienced when accessing services in the community.

Today we’re launching TRAction – a Toolkit for Research in Action. This toolkit will support faculty with resources to build and grow their primary care research practice. https://t.co/vDnGwiIGzf #PCRC

Congratulations @DeeMangin & @McMasterFHT for creating a program that allowed for at-home disease monitoring to reduce reliance on hospital services #COVIDatHome #BrightLights #AFHTO2021

@DougOliver19 Congrats Doug! So exciting… 👶

@jddneary But exposing children to music early in life is so important!!! (Says the one with no kids)

[Julie Datta @juliedatta]

Very proud to have been part of this amazing project team, which enabled hundreds of COVID patients to recover safely at home, thanks to ongoing monitoring by their primary care teams. Read more about the project here: https://t.co/qIyfQe19Xo

@McMasterFamMed @risdonc @McMasterU @machealthsci I know her! Congratulations Cathy 😁

[Julie Datta @juliedatta]

An amazing example of the power of volunteers rising to the challenge in a time of crisis. 👏👏👏

[Vaccine Hunters Canada @VaxHuntersCan]

Our final tweet: a tribute to our volunteers. Since March, they've posted thousands of updates, responded to thousands of questions, and helped save thousands of lives. It’s been our honour. (Sound on!)

I’ve been enrolled in this diploma program since January and am really enjoying it. The instructors are knowledgeable, the courses are very practical and I’m already applying concepts to my work in family medicine.

Family physicians monitoring COVID patients at home reduces demand on hospitals and allows patients to recover safely in a familiar environment. This pathway, developed by an IP team led by @DeeMangin is now the standard model of care across Ontario.

[McMaster Family Med @McMasterFamMed]

More than 10,000 Ontarians have benefited from the McMaster DFM-led model for family physicians to monitor patients with COVID-19 using home oximeters. #primarycare #onhealth https://t.co/sZZPmg6gNa

@marinasadik Preach. 🙌 Currently writing a paper about an evaluation that I’m already conducting in my job, but am struggling to make it fit within the rigid framework being taught in the class.
