Canada@lemmy.ca•Canadian doctors say they’re losing 20 million hours a year to unnecessary paperworkEnglish
4·2 个月前Here is the report: https://digitallibrary.cma.ca/media/Digital_Library_PDF/2026 Losing doctors to desk work EN.pdf
See “Appendix B: Provincial/territorial estimates of physician administrative burden and full-time equivalent gain” on page 37.

For BC specifically, there was this recent article:
Family doctors in B.C. are calling on the province to cut digital red tape, saying outdated systems and unnecessary paperwork are slowing patient care and increasing wait times.
It comes as a new national study shows doctors across the province are spending three million hours per year handling administrative work.
The latest report, released by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Canadian Medical Association, released as part of the Red Tape Awareness Week, found that doctors in B.C. spend nearly 10 hours a week on administrative work.
It estimates that eliminating unnecessary paperwork in B.C. could free up an equivalent of more than 1,400 full-time doctors.

3·4 个月前I was already on Windows 11 when I tried it, but I do see some mods labelled for Windows 10 and earlier versions. That makes me think it also supports Windows 10

Medicine@mander.xyz•‘Patients get relief’: Researchers recommending nerve blockers to treat migraines [in emergency department migraine care]English
3·4 个月前This is an updated recommendation for how to treat headaches in the emergency department, and one of the treatments it’s replacing is opioids.
Here is more from the article:
The update reviewed 26 studies from the past nine years that met the criteria involving migraines and visits to emergency departments to bring the treatment recommendations up to date.
“This update marks a major change in emergency department migraine care and implementing these treatments can improve patient outcomes and reduce reliance on opioids,” said study co-lead Dr. Jennifer Robblee, a neurologist and migraine and headache disorders specialist at Barrow Neurological Institute
Another user added a first person perspective, which explains it a lot better than I could.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Maya, 17, got mental health records by FOI, then killed herself. Her mom wants reform | Politics | thecanadianpressnews.caEnglish
151·4 个月前Since doctors/staff communicate to each other in a shorthand, and it would be very difficult to make all that internal communication written in an accessible way. We would likely need a separate team of people transcribing and adding context to all the notes.
What might be a good first step is freeing up healthcare capacity to respond to patient’s inquiries. After that, if we can set up some way of communicating the available resources to the person who FOI’s the medical records, they can get in touch if they have questions.
Thank you for sharing the story. Hope you both find strength and clarity, regardless of what the future holds.
Take care of yourself as well!
That’s fair, your words are valid as well.
I don’t think this comic is necessarily heartwarming or wholesome. It’s a short story that shares details from the author’s life. I can see how it can give hope to some while making others feel worse.
I’m sorry for your loss

Android@lemdro.id•The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop - Ars TechnicaEnglish
1·5 个月前There were a handful of times when I saw students using airdrop to send files in school, but email / google drive was the most common way to do it.
The choice to make Airdrop an Apple-only feature might have hurt adoption

19·5 个月前Linus videos have clickbait titles like that, and it’s in reference to some news articles calling GOS an OS for criminals
Title and thumbnail aside, the video was a positive review of GOS and was made with help from a GOS team member. I probably should have added the extra context before it got downvoted away 😄

What I’m getting from the comments here is that it works for microblogging, not for forum / threadiverse
