ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new… Sylvia Jones Doug Ford Bhutila Karpoche Ontario Medical Association Failed business model, team-if you still want family doctors in the system, pay em more so they can afford to run practises-OR pay for the overhead
J.P. Tasker great article. But solution is not as complicated as laid out-Sylvia Jones & Doug Ford simply have to pay family Drs enough to make it worth doing. Cause right now it ain’t.Raise pay problem goes away. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
American data, but still worth considering. #onhealth #onpoli Ontario Medical Association Canadian Medical Association ama-assn.org/practice-manag…
Thank you Mike Crawley for posting the definitive explanation behind our family medicine crisis!!! The College of Family Physicians of Canada OCFP Ontario Medical Association just pay fam docs fairly and they’ll open up practises
"In the long run, a career as a family physician doesn't seem to be a financially wise one. Historically, pay raises that family physicians get from the government haven't kept up with inflation." Ontario Ministry of Health can fix this tomorrow. ctvnews.ca/canada/doctors…
"Global News also reached out to the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) for its reaction to the changes but it did not have anyone available to comment." Canadian Medical Association has over $2B in reserves and they can't find someone to comment??? Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/10435179/…
The public: “family medicine crisis!” Family drs “family medicine crisis!” SGFP “gov hasn’t raised pay in 15yrs in real terms and inflation is 🚀might be that? ON MOH: “there’s no crisis, we pay plenty, tell em to work more” Doug Ford SGFP Sylvia Jones The College of Family Physicians of Canada
For the love of God, pay family docs more. “More money” may not be the solution for everything. But when it comes to retaining and recruiting GPs, it’s about as close to a magic bullet as we’re likely to find, by Matt Gurney tvo.org/article/for-th… via TVO Today | The Agenda Dennis Kendel
André Picard Matt Gurney @TheAgenda Dennis Kendel For those interested in the data on physician reimbursement changes over 1-2 decades. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Reminder - from March of this year. Ontario Ministry of Health of course, says "no concern" about supply of doctors and retention and recruitment not on the cards in negotiations with Ontario Medical Association cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
📰 Cut through the rhetoric We are short family doctors. Period. And it's only going to get worse. Stop the bleeding. tvo.org/article/for-th…. #FamilyMedicine #FamilyDoctorBurnout #ONhealth Ontario Medical Association Doug Ford Sylvia Jones
