EMRs are a fantastic way to facilitate medical care. Health information systems are by far one of the most under-appreciated, yet essential, components of the health system! Keep your records up to date to reap the benefits of a comprehensive health record. #MED6288 #ONHealth

[Ontario Ministry of Health @ONThealth]

Parents: DYK every time your child gets a vaccine from their health care provider, you need to report your child’s updated immunization records to your local public health unit?

TB is a prime example of how decades of medical research can now save countless lives. We must work together to raise awareness and believe that #YesWeCanEndTB #ONHealth #MED6288

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

Today is #WorldTBDay! This year’s theme is #YesWeCanEndTB. Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable, treatable, and curable; however, TB remains an epidemic in much of the world. Ottawa Public Health is committed to caring for and treating people with TB.

The health workforce is one of the most critical components of the healthcare system. If we do not take reasonable care of the wellbeing of our nurses, we risk the health of the country. #healthpoli #ONHealth #MED6288

[Canada's Nurses @CFNU]

The CFNU’s report Safe Hours Save Lives! underscores the dramatic increase in overtime and its impact on nurse well-being.

Being an informed citizen is one of the best ways to do your part in protecting others. Epidemiological tools such as this one are an excellent user-friendly way to stay up-to-date on what is happening in the community! #MED6288 #ONHealth

#PrimaryCare is the cornerstone of our healthcare system. Each and every resident of ONatrio should have reliable access to primary care in the province. Without it, we begin to see incredible strain on our emergency services. #MED6288 #HealthON

[Ontario Nurses' Association @ontarionurses]

Not only did 1000s of Sault Ste. Marie residents lose access to primary care earlier this year, now a provincial program supporting ERs in that and other northern towns is coming to an end. #onpoli #onhealth https://t.co/7EsbpAbXkx

#Sleep is critical for all functioning and far too many of us sacrifice our sleep first! #SleepisMedicine #MED6288

[Ontario Ministry of Health @ONThealth]

This #WorldSleepDay, focus on building healthy sleep habits.

• Maintain a regular sleep & wake up schedule
• Aim to get 7-8 hours of good quality sleep each night
• Avoid sleep disruptors (caffeine, electronics) close to bedtime

Defining quality standards benefits all. When patients have expectations, they practice self-advocacy. When providers know current, evidence-based standards, they strive to meet them. When organizations see deficits in provincial targets, they reassess. #onhealth #MED6288

[Reilly @rjradfordmun]

These are the issues that we need #HealthPolicy to address. 6-12 months could make all of the difference for someone awaiting a specialist consult. Wait times such as these are not conducive to a healthy community. #MED6288

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

Ontario needs an online centralized referral network. "Due to the high volume of consultation requests that we receive, please notify your patient that there can be a wait time of 6-12 months for the initial assessment". @OntariosDoctors @cathy_faulds

During my time at Carleton I loved the Therapy Dogs program! Such a wonderful initiative to support student mental health and wellbeing on campus. #MED6288 #Studentwellness

Caregivers are often under supported and under appreciated. Wonderful programs exist to help better support our caregivers, such as "Make a Connection, Take a Break" at @thedementiasoc. #MED6288

[Health Canada and PHAC @GovCanHealth]

Let’s acknowledge all the women who, often unpaid, are dementia caregivers. Significantly more women than men are also living with #dementia.

#Health policies, such as privatization, impact everyone. Though it is an attractive quick-fix to our current health care crisis, we should instead focus on improving our current system instead of adding another one. #ONHealth #MED6288

[Ontario Nurses' Association @ontarionurses]

Doug Ford's conservative government would have us believe the only way to improve health care is by privatizing. But in this interesting piece, we see how @NYGH_News is keeping their emergency wait times low. What do you think of these measures? #onhealth

Raising awareness is the first step towards progress. This March we should all aim to start a conversation about #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, you never know how it may help someone. #MED6288

[Ontario Ministry of Health @ONThealth]

March is #Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Endometriosis is a complex and disease that affects over 1 million Canadians. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent unnecessary suffering.

Women play a crucial role in all industries, and the health sector is no exception! Let's celebrate and uplift women today and everyday. #InternationalWomensDay #ONHealth #MED6288

[Ontario Health @OntarioHealthOH]

On #IWD, we honour the strength and achievements of women everywhere. This year’s theme, #InspireInclusion, emphasizes the importance of diversity and empowerment. We asked some of our team members what Inspire Inclusion means to them. Click to read: https://t.co/vGBuE5wWRh

Everyone deserves access to competent, safe health care providers. 2SLGBTQ+ #healtheducation should be mandatory for medical learners and practitioners. #onpoli #MED6288

[Kieran Gill @KieranGMED6288]

A key characteristic of good health systems is their adaptability to changing needs, influencing factors, and constraints across space and time such as front line physicians interacting with the public in rural clinics. This is essential for the #healthequity of rural BC #MED6288

[Ontario Hospital Association @OntHospitalAssn]

Ontario hospitals also undertake valuable research to support health care providers in better ways. A new study @TheRoyalMHC is investigating the psychological & biological toll of burnout & chronic stress on healthcare workers: https://t.co/aEdDRQNP1c #hospitalresearch

FIT kits are a simple and easy-to-use screening tool! They can be completed at home and sent for testing via mail service.
