Maintaining and operating an Electronic Medical Record system requires multiple staff and time. Rising subscription costs, forced migration into new operating systems, & periodic disruptions. The government fails to compensate Family Doctors the true cost of doing business.
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 @mattgurneytvo.org/article/for-th… via @TheAgenda@DennisKendel
Reminder - from March of this year. @ONThealth of course, says "no concern" about supply of doctors and retention and recruitment not on the cards in negotiations with @OntariosDoctorscbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
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”

"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." @CMA_Docs has over $2B in reserves and they can't find someone to comment??? Globalnews.caglobalnews.ca/news/10435179/…
"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." @ONThealth can fix this tomorrow. ctvnews.ca/canada/doctors…
An a007 physician code (most common code) was $32 in 2009. Today it is $37.90. Inflation alone makes this code $46.29.
Physicians fund offices, staff and run small businesses. They can’t provide care if governments don’t keep pace with inflation.

Family doctors are speaking out.
The time to act is now before they vanish forever.
Everyone in Ontario deserves access to a family doctor.
Like and repost if you agree. #Onhealth
