Another day in the life of a Family Doctor…

I simply refuse to tolerate stuff like this. 😡

… let alone the patient who is now 2 months delayed in wait time queues.

🚨 PATIENT SAFETY ALERT 🚨

Ontario doctors are being flooded with partial lab reports from LifeLabs’ new system. Instead of one clear final report, we now get multiple fragmented versions clogging our EMR inboxes (TELUS PS Suite).

This isn’t just extra admin work — it’s a patient safety risk. When 10+ versions of the same report pile up, it becomes dangerously easy to miss what’s new and clinically urgent.

LifeLabs + TELUS Health: fix this NOW.
👉 Stop pushing partial reports or give us the choice of final reports only.
👉 TELUS: adjust your feeds — don’t leave doctors holding the bag.

Doctors weren’t consulted. Patients deserve better. We need action immediately.

FHO PLUS – MIGHT IT REDUCE FRUSTRATION?

Family Medicine in Ontario is about to change. Negotiations between the OMA and Government have generated a new “FHO Plus” model. One unintended GOOD consequence is that it may help reduce frustration for both doctors and patients.

FHO+ Math: Practice Size and Visit Frequency

In the FHO+ model, significantly more emphasis (and payment) is put on seeing patients in person.

As shown, the math incentivizes VOLUME of visits and unfortunately disincentivizes EFFICIENCY, DELEGATION, and SCALABILITY.

…. For better or (much more likely) worse, this is the way the Government wants it …

FHO+ Math: An Individual Patient Example

The new FHO+ model will change the way Family Doctors practice. It incentives seeing patients in person as opposed to leveraging technology and innovation.

Here is the math to illustrate this at the level of an individual patient example.
