"Virtual Visits" aren't words normal people use, we should just call online health appointments "Video Calls". Language is UX.

"Fly-in" is the only PowerPoint animation you ever need.

Yes, we published the Canadian FHIR eReferral spec. Though … it may have been more of a workgroup than a “table”: simplifier.net/guide/ca-on-e…

It’s a bit more complicated than in US because you can all a snap election any time, so terms vary in length. A certain natural ennui among the electorate seems to seep in after 7-8 years anyway. Only the early years prime ministers went past 10 years.

New Canadian eReferral guide is out! It has a greatly improved narrative, and a few technical changes. simplifier.net/guide/ca-on-e…

I favourite part is the bot’s passive aggressive “as I mentioned in my previous email”…

We do genetic screens for hearing problems in newborns universally in Ontario. Consent is required to inspect the result - which is quite a difficult process to collect and track.

eConsult is a subset of eReferral. Applications and interoperability specifications should be designed as such.

I find the @TorontoStar dashboard is pretty good now. They revise it pretty regularly, I’m sure in a few days they’ll bring back the “% of adults” metric for us to check compulsively.

It's good to step away from a UI design for a week to get some distance from my own brain. When I come back it's easier to see it with user eyes - and figure out if I really love it or hate it. I had a "love it" feeling this morning on some recent work.

Looking for a DevOps engineer who would likes helping people in healthcare. Message me if interested.

“We eat externalities all day” ... sounds like a brewing blog post title ;)

I find that committee-style meetings contribute a lot more to "Zoom fatigue" than highly focused problem-solving meetings - which energize me. Probably not just a Zoom thing, just a thing thing.

Creating a shared wait list with an API that could integrate to booking systems could have been money we’ll spent.

How many thousands of people are currently in this vaccine booking death loop at the @ShopprsDrugMart website?:

Yes exactly right, but to provide good value that team needs streams of care rather than one big funnel of work. A large care team could have a Maple-style stream for basic care while maintaining continuity. Prescription #7 is jumping at me right now. lifeclub.org/books/the-innov…

Would your opinion change if you were funded for the hard stuff?

Imagine a collaborative care team - each of whom have access to my health record - with a Maple-like process. Then work backwards from there to figure out how to make it work. Seems entirely do-able to me with the right leadership and levers.
