Lots of debate about taxes with the federal budget. I’m no expert with tax policy. I do believe we need to encourage entrepreneurs and new good ideas. That’s how we build a strong economy to support public services. That’s how we lead in the world. It’s not really a left or right position. Us vs them arguments might be good politics but it’s not good policy. Good policy should be good politics. If only.

@Michelle_TeoMD They NEVER Listen to Frontline staff and instead allow Consultants who have never spent time in the Frontline advise from LEAN or other Assanine Project Mgmt skills that do not apply to Human Beings who have complex medical issues

I will not give up on improving BC healthcare. It is critically needed by physicians, healthcare workers, and most importantly, BC patients; we all deserve better. 9/9

My vision is a HC system built by physician-led teams to deliver high quality outpatient care. My mission is to research and develop a curriculum to empower physicians so that they can create a team-based model that meets the needs of their speciality, patients, and community 8/9

Thank you to those who have supported the Better Care for BC campaign. The BC NDP government has not shown interest in supporting my research to make my team-based care model available to all interested outpatient physicians in BC. 1/9

@steve_izen @markroseman Absolutely GPs need to be paid appropriately for their level of expertise. But like all MDs, they spend 70-90% of their day doing work that can be delegated to trusted team members. If we could free them from those burdens, imagine how any more patients they could care for!

@Michelle_TeoMD @markroseman Lots of talk about TEAMS sweeping to save medicine. How can we afford TEAMS when renumeration for Family Drs has not keep up with inflation for over 25 years? which I submit is the primary reason we have a critical shortage of F.Drs. and the snowball effect that comes with that.

Yet more evidence that you can’t buy a high functioning team. If people don’t feel respected, heard or share your vision, this happens cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

You are absolutely right @steve_izen. Top down implementation of teams is not efficient or cost effective. Govn’ts have been trying for decades and failed. But bottom up team care is much different. Going to your dentist is an example of an effective frontline HCW team.

@Michelle_TeoMD @DrJLush What are the cons of teams? Reports from Ontario (has suspended some funding for teams), the US, and UK, that have concluded TEAM based care while good, had less patients seen, and was prohibitively expensive. From a primary care perspective how about we pay FD a who lot better

@casabar_s Sadly this is all too common. @dockevinmcleod has been a big advocate for his patients that are in the same difficult position. We do our best to help these patients get the care they need, but it can be very challenging, especially with the ++ closures of walk in clinics

@Michelle_TeoMD Dr. Teo what do you do if a specialist says that to you and you have no GP? What does a patient do then?

Absolutely @drjlush! It will improve patient outcomes and quality of life! We need to empower the front line HCW to create the team that best meets the needs of their speciality (including primary care) and patients. We deserve this bottom up change
