Clinic days are full. The tech was supposed to help.

In this episode of Breaking Silos in Canadian Healthcare, OntarioMD leaders Dr. Chandi Chandrasena and Dr. Darren Larsen sit down to talk honestly about what digital health is actually doing to clinic days in Ontario—where it’s working, where it’s clearly not, and how teams are quietly bending the tools back toward patient care.

We get past the buzzwords and into the lived experience: overflowing inboxes, too many portals, and the emotional load of feeling like you’re charting more than you’re caring. Then we zoom out to the bigger questions: Which workflows are worth redesigning? Where can AI scribes and smarter integrations give clinicians time back? And what does it look like when vendors, clinicians, and organizations pull in the same direction instead of talking past each other?

If you’ve ever felt like your EMR and digital tools are running your day instead of supporting it, this conversation is for you—and for anyone trying to build a better version of “normal” in Canadian primary care.Visit OntarioMD.live to register for the conference.

Administrative burden and digital overload are burning out clinicians and staff in primary care, even as digital health tools and EMRs promise to make life easier. In this OntarioMD Digital Health Virtual Symposium trailer, we explore how to reduce digital health burden, optimize EMR/EHR workflows, and think realistically about AI scribes in everyday clinical practice. Hear OntarioMD leaders talk about real‑world digital health, clinician burnout, and what it takes to make new tools actually stick in busy community clinics.#DigitalHealth #HealthTech #AdministrativeBurden #OntarioMD

Millions of Canadians are struggling to find primary care, even though the Canada Health Act says we should all have reasonable access to medically necessary services. In this roundtable, nurse practitioner leaders from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario talk candidly about what it feels like to be “on an island and drowning,” how outdated laws and insurance rules quietly block NP care, and why professional associations are actually structural power if we want the system to change.They share real examples from clinics and communities, unpack who is really providing primary care right now, and make the case for using NPs more fully as part of the solution to Canada’s primary care crisis.#abpoli #onpoli #healthcare #healthcareprofessionals #media

In the middle of a nationwide primary-care crunch, nurse practitioners from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario step out from behind the exam room door and into the spotlight. Over sixty minutes, they compare what care looks like in three very different provinces: how team-based clinics work on the ground, what happens when legislation, funding models and methods of data-entry leave their work invisible. As stories of red tape, burnout and quiet innovation pile up, the roundtable becomes less about abstract policy and more about the people quietly holding primary care together.
