๐Ÿ‘‰Since late 2022, Ontario has moved 424 patients into nursing homes they did not choose, out of 20,261 long-term care placements. This increase is attributed to a law aimed at freeing up hospital space by relocating alternate level of care patients to available nursing homes, sometimes up to 150 kilometers away. In February and March alone, one-third of these moves occurred. Critics argue the $400 daily penalty for refusing transfer pressures patients into compliance. One family faces a $26,000 bill due to the law. Introduced after Doug Ford's re-election, the bill bypassed extensive review, sparking opposition and controversy.โœ… . ๐“๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š & ๐‡๐จ๐ง๐๐š ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐”๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐ฏ๐ž๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐…๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ ๐š๐ฌ ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ž! ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐‰๐จ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฉ๐ก ๐€๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐’๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ซ +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ’-๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ.๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ค๐ค๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ง@๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ซ๐จ๐š๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š.๐œ๐š ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐›๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š.๐œ๐š ๐Ÿ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐, ๐๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง, ๐Ž๐ ๐‹๐Ÿ”๐ฌ ๐ŸŽ๐‚๐Ÿ @mukkadan.joseph . . #OntarioHealthcare #NursingHomes #Bill7 #HospitalDischarges #LongTermCare #HealthcareCrisis #PatientRights #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰In Ontario, patients, fearing de-rostering by family doctors, increasingly visit emergency rooms for non-urgent care. Triage nurse Jennefer Muir recounts instances where patients, like a mother with a sick child, avoid walk-in clinics due to threats of de-enrollment. Ontario's Ministry of Health clarifies ER visits don't automatically trigger de-enrollment but acknowledges concerns. Dr. Allan Grill explains a fee-for-service model used by some clinics, alleviating fears of loss but confusion persists. Patients resorting to ERs for minor ailments strain resources. Karin Bowyer's experience highlights the repercussions of this trend, with non-urgent cases flooding hospitals.โœ… . ๐’๐ž๐œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ž๐ž๐ง๐š ๐•๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ๐ž, ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ'๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ-๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’ @neena.robin . . #OntarioHealthcare #ERVisits #FamilyDoctors #DeEnrollment #HealthcareAccess #PatientCare #EmergencyMedicine #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Ontario is projected to need 33,200 more nurses and 50,853 more personal support workers (PSWs) by 2032, according to figures obtained by The Canadian Press. The government, which initially tried to keep these figures secret, recently won a fight to withhold them from Global News. However, the Information and Privacy Commissioner made the information available to The Canadian Press. Unions in the health-care sector, who have long warned of staff shortages, find these projections unsurprising, highlighting the shortcomings of the access-to-information system.โœ… . ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ง๐๐ข๐š-๐‚๐š๐ง๐š๐๐š ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ข๐ญ! ๐‘๐š๐ก๐ฆ๐š๐ง ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ—-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”, ๐Ÿ—๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“-๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ๐Ÿ-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ• ๐ฌ๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ@๐ซ๐š๐ก๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @rahmantravelservices . . #OntarioHealthcare #NursingShortage #PSWShortage #HealthcareWorkers #AccessToInformation #HealthcareCrisis #OntarioNurses #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Ontario is eliminating the need for sick notes as part of efforts to reduce paperwork for family physicians. Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced this change alongside other measures aimed at freeing up primary care doctors for more patient-focused care. Employers will no longer require a doctor's note for employees to use their provincially-mandated annual sick leave. Instead, employees can provide self-attestations or receipts for over-the-counter medication. Additionally, Ontario is expanding an AI pilot program, called Scribe, to 150 primary care clinics. This AI technology transcribes and summarizes patient visits, reducing doctors' paperwork and allowing for more patient care.โœ… . ๐”๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐š, ๐š๐ง ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #OntarioHealthcare #SickNotes #AIinMedicine #PrimaryCare #PatientCare #HealthTech #ReducingPaperwork #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

Ontario Faces Shortage of Family Doctors, Relies on Internationally Educated Physicians

โœ…Despite Ontario's efforts to recruit healthcare workers through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), the province continues to experience a shortage of family doctors. Reports from the Canadian Residency Matching Service (CaRMS) indicate that a growing number of family medicine residency positions remain unfilled. Last year, Ontario nominated over 2,000 internationally educated healthcare workers for immigration, yet the demand for family physicians persists. Medical students are increasingly opting out of family medicine due to perceived stress, underfunding, and dissatisfaction among practicing family doctors. Negotiations for a new physician services agreement aim to address funding challenges in Ontario's healthcare system.

๐Ÿ‘‰In Ontario, the names of clinics and physicians found guilty of extra-billing for health services are being kept confidential, raising concerns about transparency in the healthcare system. Data reveals 183 complaints about extra-billing between January 2021 and December 2022, with 49 violating the Commitment to the Future of Medicare Act (CFMA), totaling over $68,000. However, the identities of these providers remain undisclosed, with the government citing exemptions in freedom of information laws. Critics argue that this lack of transparency could undermine public trust in the healthcare system.โœ… . ๐”๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐š, ๐š๐ง ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #OntarioHealthcare #ExtraBilling #TransparencyConcerns #HealthcareSystem #PublicTrust #MedicalEthics #LegalIssues #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰In response to limited options for timely medical care, Ontario residents like Kyle Truong are turning to private clinics where nurse practitioners offer quick appointments, albeit without coverage from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. While some express disappointment at the extra cost, many praise the efficiency and accessibility of these clinics. The trend highlights gaps in the public healthcare system, leading to a surge in private primary care alternatives. Annual memberships, often ranging from $70 to $90 per appointment, are becoming increasingly popular. The development prompts discussions on healthcare accessibility and the role of private clinics.โœ… . ๐“๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š & ๐‡๐จ๐ง๐๐š ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐”๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐ฏ๐ž๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐…๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ ๐š๐ฌ ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ž! ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐‰๐จ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฉ๐ก ๐€๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐’๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ซ +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ’-๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ.๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ค๐ค๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ง@๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ซ๐จ๐š๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š.๐œ๐š ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐›๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š.๐œ๐š ๐Ÿ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐, ๐๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง, ๐Ž๐ ๐‹๐Ÿ”๐ฌ ๐ŸŽ๐‚๐Ÿ @mukkadan.joseph . . #OntarioHealthcare #NursePractitioners #PrivateClinics #HealthcareAccess #PatientExperience #OntarioHealth #MedicalInnovation #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Northern Ontario's largest hospital, Health Sciences North in Sudbury, has increased parking fees for the first time in eight years. Effective Feb. 5, the initial hour now costs $4, up from $3, with a day pass rising to $11.50 from $10. Weekly passes are scrapped, replaced by discounted five- and 10-day options at $28 and $50, respectively. HSN cites the need for added revenue to cover costs, emphasizing hospitals receive no parking-related funding from the Ministry of Health. Despite the hike, fees remain below provincial caps.
