Montreal nurses want investigation to highlight systemic Quebec health-care issues

sarah07/03/2023 48 Views

The nurses union at the Lakeshore General Hospital hopes that the investigation into recent emergency room deaths will highlight bigger issues in the health-care network and not focus on blaming staff.

Quebec’s Ministry of Health launched an investigation into the deaths and appointed former Montreal center-west health and social services (CIUSSS) head Francine Dupuis to lead the investigation.

Lakeshore is in the West Island’s CIUSSS territory, but the union fears Dupuis’ close working relationship with its CEO Dan Eric Gabay may be a conflict.

“We were a little surprised to see that she’s worked very closely in the past with

Health care vaccine mandate remains as some push for an end

sarah20/02/2023 55 Views

LOWRY CITY, Mo. (AP) — At Truman Lake Manor in rural Missouri, every day begins the same way for every employee entering the nursing home’s doors — with a swab up the nose, a swirl of testing solution and a brief wait to see whether a thin red line appears indicating a positive COVID-19 case.

Only the healthy are allowed in to care for virus-free residents.

Despite those precautions, a coronavirus outbreak swept through the facility late last year. An inspector subsequently cited it for violating the federal government’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement for health care facilities.

Bedingfield pointed to two bills — one that expanded health care for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances, and another focused on mental health and gun safety — saying their bipartisan passage validated Biden’s “belief that these are areas where politicians in Washington can and should find common ground on behalf of the American people.”

Officials have kept other details close to the vest. Areas to watch closely Tuesday night will be what

Government health line referring patients to virtual-only doctors

sarah26/01/2023 22 Views

When the Ontario government reduced the fees paid to doctors for virtual-only appointments in December, it was said the reason was to encourage family physicians to see patients in person as well as online.

It’s a model of comprehensive care that many experts say is preferable to virtual-only.

But the government’s own help line staffed by registered nurses — Health Connect Ontario — is referring to patients they believe should see a doctor to those same virtual services.

“Health Connect Ontario’s practice is to refer to OHIP-funded virtual care services where appropriate,” said the Ministry of Health in an email.
