Annals of Family Medicine

NOVEMBER 20, 2024

Context Rapid adoption of virtual care in early 2020, meant there was little time to develop or plan integrated virtual health care services, resulting in an urgency to establish governance for quality-based virtual care in Canada. Ethical, professional and legal requirements were alike for virtual care and in-person settings.

In 2020, as our PBRN was expanding and because of the rapidly evolving Quebec Primary PC research landscape, we embarked on a strategic planning exercise.

It can differentiate between a physician’s questions and a patient’s responses and even filter out non-relevant small talk.

When I’m on palliative care consults and attending in our hospice unit we have to counsel patients about deprescribing and de-intensifying diabetes medications.

In one corner, weighing in at decades of experience, well known for heavy hits of bedside assessments, strong patient-family relationships, and a knockout punch of interdisciplinary collaboration, we have in-person palliative care consults.

Summary Transcript Summary In a JAMA 2020 systematic review of palliative care for non-cancer serious illness, Kieran Quinn found many positives, as we discussed on our podcast and in our editorial.

I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here?
