Looking forward to our new research coming this year with @ResearchStJoes @HEI_mcmaster @StJoesCIC

Dr. @Ryan_Strum defends his thesis “ the development and validation of the emergency department avoidability classification”. 🎉
Thanks to @LaurenGriff1, @WalterTava Andrew Worster, and defence chair @MGVanstone .
This work upends the use of other classifications that are grossly misused. Really important!!

Thank you @TheSpec for covering our research, highlighting the impacts of opioids on EDs and paramedic systems in Ontario
➡️Opioids have much more of an impact on the emergency healthcare system than overdoses and deaths alone
@HEI_mcmaster

A McMaster study @McMasterU has found the opioid crisis is taking a far greater toll on the health-care system than previously believed, @jfrketich reports

Ontario has expanded successful 9-1-1 models of care in over 40 communities. This provides paramedics more flexibility to treat certain patients who call 911 at home or on-scene rather than in emergency departments, ensuring faster access to emergency care. #ParamedicServicesWeek
