@KeeganMatheson FYI both Raleigh and Polanco had better splits from the right side of the plate this season.

The decision for Little is mind boggling

[Mike Cavanagh @mkcavy]

@KeeganMatheson The whole “turn Raleigh and Polanco around” is such BS. Guess what… they are still really good hitters from the right side.
You had your no. 1 and 2 relievers available. You use them. You live and die by them. Using your 7th reliever in the highest leverage spot is unforgivable

@gforbes It seems they may have aggregated FFS and non-FFS rates together. Which if you look through some threads you’ll see we have discussed it at length and I appreciate the insight from physician colleagues on it.

@SabraGibbens @HilaryWollis @TomPark1n @alandrummond2 This has been a massive issue in my area (the Kawarthas). I believe all family physicians are the AAP model, and they are really struggling financially. We have lost many in a short period. Making my life harder in practice (not that it’s all about me 😉)

[Mike Cavanagh @mkcavy]

@SabraGibbens @HilaryWollis @TomPark1n @alandrummond2 I do believe you are correct that the fact I missed FFS doctors versus non-FFS, and I can absolutely see how CIHI would lump those together. End of the day, either model, your compensation is too low!

@KCGraham6 That’s so unfortunate and really is a disservice to the program. We have, for lack of a better term, “rostered” patients that are of greatest need - the are either on compliance packs or our appointment based program. This is our focus beyond discharge

Who wants to know what work goes in to, what I consider, a good, quality #MedsChecks? Almost like an AMA session. Ask away, and I’ll share how we perform them at our group of pharmacies.

@KCGraham6 Hope that helps :)

[Mike Cavanagh @mkcavy]

@KCGraham6 All in all, took me around 60 minutes. But, in the end, the patients medication regime is far better than it would have been had we just followed the discharge Rx

@novacarerx @PharmacistMama This makes me think of the days when we could MI and ODB drug to AAC… which is acronym soup for sure… but I do miss those days
