“The question is not whether intelligent machines can have any emotions, but whether machines can be intelligent without any emotions.” Marvin Minsky, on machine learning

A woman has been a person under 🇨🇦 law for less than 100yrs, since 1929 when 5 women asked the UK to overrule the Supreme Court. As a result, a woman became Senator in 1930. In 2020, we quietly reached gender parity in the Senate. Watch for broken glass, ladies. #WomensDay2023

Go ⁦Baycrest⁩ ! Love this reminder to mind your brain. It’s trauma season. Helmets! 🚴 Don’t be a trauma.

Digital health projects, from EPRs to AI: ➡️listen to clinicians & fix what frustrates ➡️tell patients what we do with data & why ➡️privacy, security, legal & ethics at one table from the start ➡️don’t replicate the way things are -optimize, iterate, break down silos

How much patient health info can you collect, use and share to manage safety issues in the ED? As much as you need to address a safety risk in the ED. No more, but also no less. Safety trumps privacy. #CAEP23

Let's cut down on unnecessary admin burden and support family docs to better care for patients ✅Centralize referral + triage systems for specialists and tests ✅Legislate EMR interoperability + provide pts access to their records ✅Expand teams so MDs can share the care

“Without courage, you cannot practice any other virtue consistently. You can be kind for a while; generous for a while; just for a while; or merciful for a while. But it is only with courage that you can be persistently & insistently kind & generous & fair.” -M Angelou #Pride2023

Because with so much potential benefit on the line, we can't afford to get it wrong. #AIMI2023 #aiinhealthcare

This crew makes me feel hopeful about what we can achieve. Congratulations to all MHSc & MSc grads IHPME IHPMEQIPS Be bold, be brave, be unrelenting about what’s possible.

Kindness over everything - start em young. Happy #Pride2023 from ⁦Unity Health Toronto⁩

Never ceases to amaze me that care providers are expected to navigate the complex world of mental health law with very little legal training. Here is a link to my go-to guide: blg.com/en/insights/20…

Centralized referral system for specialist and diagnostic care would shorten wait times, free up family physicians to see more patients, and save lives. It’s a low cost, win win win idea whose time is overdue.

Send the note, wear the dress, take the trip, make the call, linger with friends. Show up, find your voice, shed the pretense, cast some light, speak the truth. Tomorrow isn’t promised.

Lessons learned from simulations, debriefs and video review = best in class trauma design Debriefs tell you about interpersonal & comms issues Video reviews tell you about space & equipment issues
