Spoiler alert: $10k signing bonuses for select Laboratory roles at Island Health!! Something I learned since starting with Island Health is that there's a critical shortage of Medical Laboratory professionals across Canada. Beyond that, this shortage leads to cascading effects negatively impacting patients everywhere. This can lead to the more inconvenient effect of increased wait times, but also leads to more severe effects in terms of negative patient outcomes, and increased suffering due to unknown causes. When labs don't have the staff to stay open, they have to shut down services. Specimens from areas without coverage have to be transported to other areas, creating backlogs. Emergency rooms can shut down, mystery illnesses go undiagnosed, more populated areas go through longer wait times to deal with the added capacity, while rural or remote areas may not have the ability to help patients for days. All this to say.. to help address shortages here on the island, we're offering signing bonuses for new Medical Lab Technologists, and Combined Lab / Xray Technologists for permanent fulltime, and part time positions (over .6 FTE)! If you or someone you know could be interested in bringing their skills to the island, here's a list of our eligible positions! https://lnkd.in/gvZi9fmx

❤️🩹Tʜᴇ Aʀᴛ ᴏꜰ Rᴇᴀꜱꜱᴜʀɪɴɢ Mʏ Pᴀᴛɪᴇɴᴛꜱ 🏥 I like being in the #hospital. As weird as that may sound to some people, I sincerely get a sense of purpose and fulfillment taking care of patients. I enjoy interacting with my #patients and thinking about what possible pathology could be going on and how to solve it so that they become well and stay well. It's been only a few months of practising medicine with close supervision from my senior colleagues. I see it as a privilege to have people trust me with their health and bodies. I actively listen to my patients with great respect, empathy, compassion and an increasing level of competence. I've learned and am still learning many clinical and soft skills needed in caring for my patients. Every time I come back home, I reflect on some of the patients I saw. I study some more about their cases and say a prayer for them. 😊🙏 One practice I've been intentional about is #𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 my patients. While there should be complete transparency in communicating the medical findings. It is also important to cater to patients' emotions. Reassuring patients is a vital aspect of #healthcare that can significantly impact patient satisfaction, trust, and outcomes. A reassuring approach can help alleviate anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, creating a positive experience for patients. Tᴇᴄʜɴɪqᴜᴇꜱ ꜰᴏʀ Rᴇᴀꜱꜱᴜʀɪɴɢ Pᴀᴛɪᴇɴᴛꜱ 💡 📌Listen attentively to patients' concerns. 📌Show understanding and kindness. 📌Explain diagnoses, treatments, and procedures clearly. 📌Use nonverbal cues like nodding and smiling. 📌Acknowledge patients' feelings and concerns. 📌Provide patients with resources and information. 📌Follow up on commitments and maintain continuity of care. To every healthcare professional, I believe that with the art of reassurance we can achieve better health outcomes. I am committed to mastering this art to improve my patients' lives. Have you experienced reassurance from a medical professional before? #globalvisibilitychallengewithdrvivianmagnus #Healthcare #PatienCare #EmpathyInMedicine #CompassionateCare #HealthcareProfessionals #MedicalCare #PatientExperience #HealthcareMatters #CareWithCompassion #MedicalEducation

Studies have shown that U.S. physicians spend an average of 8.7 hours per week on administrative tasks, taking up 16.6% of their working hours. This burden is particularly high for psychiatrists, internists, and family/general practitioners, with some spending over 20% of their time on paperwork. This increasing administrative load can significantly impact career satisfaction. At Orci Care, we understand the pressures that come with managing a medical practice.

A good friend has long covid. They wait a year for an appointment at a specialist centre. The specialist decides my friend is “doing all she can” and no further appointment is required. To be clear, my friend has now run out of sick leave, and is not OK. I spend 5 seconds on CT.GOV and find 10 active recruiting trials for long Covid. What are we doing? If a specialist centre doesn’t even suggest a trial for a condition which has no cure, how are we going to solve these conditions? Trials have to be an extension of healthcare pathways, not siloed into academic centres. We’ve got to do better. #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrials #patientcentricity
