🌐 Transforming Ontario’s Primary Care with Digital Twin Technology 🌐 In the latest Canadian Healthcare Technology, our CEO Michael Millar discusses how digital twin technology can ease Ontario’s primary care challenges. With family doctors spending 19+ hours a week on admin tasks and 40% considering retirement within five years, digital twins can help by identifying at-risk patients early—without adding to clinicians' workloads. 👉 p. 21 https://lnkd.in/g4AiTNRZ #DigitalTwin #digitalhealth #PrimaryCare #HealthTech

Last week, Verto CEO Michael Millar sat down with our CMO Dr Michael Anderson, for the first of our 🔥 Fireside Chat 🔥 series to discuss the opportunities and challenges in supporting Virtual Mental Health Services. Sharing a few of the key take-aways: 👩💻 Providing Virtual Mental Health services goes far beyond virtual care, and includes care navigation, e-referrals, electronic prescribing and others. Done right, Virtual Mental Health is integrated into all care delivery models. 📉 Health systems struggling with providing accessible and equitable mental health care often see the impact of this in other areas (high ALC rates, over-stretched emergency departments, increased LOS) 🏥 Virtual mental health, by the nature of the services provided, presents an immediate and massive opportunity to reduce the illness burden - supporting vulnerable, remote & marginalized people. For some examples of Virtual Mental Care done right, take a look at Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) & CAMH 's Virtual Hub. #healthtech #digitalhealth #virtualcare #mentalhealth https://lnkd.in/gDu-xAV4

Our CEO and Founder, Michael Millar will be one of the panelists during tomorrow’s Heart-Centered Leadership Symposium. Tune in for what will be a great discussion!

Did you know that Ontario has now lowered the age eligibility for the publicly-funded Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) from 50 to 40? This is a great population health initiative for Ontarians, and means that 1,000,000 more women will now be eligible for the program. And with more eligible participants, it will also mean an increased volume of scheduling requests for imaging clinics participating in the OBSP. If your clinic still schedules all inbound patient requests via telephone, now might be a good time to consider self-serve scheduling technology to help manage wait times and free up valuable time for staff.

Back from Becker's Healthcare Conference, and sharing a few things I picked up between deep dish pizza and a visit to The Beef, with a specific focus on the US vs. Canadian healthcare experience: > Discussion on AI Scribes continues to be ubiquitous, and in many segments is the entirety of the AI/Gen AI discussion in healthcare. While leaders are acknowledging the importance of these tools to combat burnout, rightly or wrongly, scribes are not exempt from the ROI discussion (“will you see more patients?”) > Canadian hospitals are (blessedly) sheltered from the revenue cycle management challenge facing US health systems - Nio Queiro put it well when detailing the 1300+ changes made for payer policies each year, “an impossible job for a human”. > “Optimizing Processes with Data that Matters” was a remarkable session, and speaks well to the challenge in front of health systems in picking their initiatives, or as Tarun Kapoor, MD, MBA put it, moving the health system down the journey of “Data ➡ Information ➡ Insights ➡ Opportunity". In a land of plentiful options and often indistinguishable messaging for health systems, the organizations that build the right data foundations to pick the right opportunities will be the ones that succeed. Special thanks to Michael Stamatinos for the restaurant recommendations. #Beckers #Chicago #AI #DigitalHealth #healthtech

Day 2 of #himssapac2024 and it's really interesting to see what topics each of the Asiatic countries focus on. Some of them are pushing the limits of AI in the hope of fighting unavoidable HHR issues while others are finding ways to implement pragmatic interoperability. Interesting also to see how many of the classical HIMSS topics don't land like cybersecurity and continuity of care. That being said, achieving higher EMRAM levels is a huge goal in leading hospitals here as well. link for those who are new to EMRAM https://lnkd.in/gCXYMKe6
