From fax machines to Zoom calls, what does healthcare look like through a video screen?
Des télécopieurs aux appels Zoom, à quoi ressemblent les soins de santé à travers un écran vidéo?

In this episode of PATIENT, we talk about Canada’s silent healthcare epidemic, which claims 28,000 lives every year. We want to teach Canadians that if something looks wrong, feels wrong, or is wrong – we need to speak up, in the moment. Robin McGee from Patients for Patient Safety Canada, Nurse Abigail Hain and CPSI CEO Chris Power reveal that by conquering silence, we can begin to work together to solve the healthcare issues we face.

CPSI is happy to launch a very special episode of PATIENT for STOP! Clean Your Hands Day 2019!

Special Guest Host, Jason “The Germ Guy” Tetro, host of “Super Awesome Science Show" and Author of “The Germ Code” and “The Germ Files” talks about how patients can initiate a dialogue and create a partnership with their providers on clean care. The two speakers are Carmen Stephens, Patient Partner with Patients for Patient Safety Canada (PFPSC), and Davenna Conrod, a nurse with over 15 years of Infection Prevention & Control work experience across the spectrum of health care.

In the final episode, Judith and a team of activists, healthcare professionals, and pharmacists, reflect on the medical system that allowed Judith’s condition to continue unabated for so long, while trying to figure out what comes next.
