Enhancing Care Coordination in Oncology and Nononcology Thoracic Surgery Care Pathways Through a Digital Health Solution: Mixed Methods Study

Enhancing Care Coordination in Oncology and Nononcology Thoracic Surgery Care Pathways Through a Digital Health Solution: Mixed Methods Study

In Quebec, as in other provinces in Canada, care coordination is an important issue due to the fragmentation of the health system, which is also observed around the world [1-4]. A key issue is the lack of coordination between health care providers (HCPs), which can lead to interruptions in the patient’s care pathway, adversely affecting their health and well-being [5-7].

Implementation of Artificial Intelligence–Based Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Quebec: Prospective Validation Study

Implementation of Artificial Intelligence–Based Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Quebec: Prospective Validation Study

In Quebec, significant progress has been made in developing DRTS pathways for patients with diabetes in distant regions [11]. However, in large urban centers, only a minority of patients benefit from such access [6]. For most patients, screening is carried out in optometry clinics, resulting in out-of-pocket expenses, as these services are not covered by the provincial health insurance program [12]. Many patients are referred to consult with an ophthalmologist at a hospital.

Predicting the Population Risk of Suicide Using Routinely Collected Health Administrative Data in Quebec, Canada: Model-Based Synthetic Estimation Study

The objective of this study was to develop and validate sex-specific predictive models for the population risk of suicide based on individual-, health system–, and community-level indicators in Quebec, Canada. The target population is the general population aged ≥15 years residing in the province of Quebec, Canada. Health care in Canada is provided through provincial and territorial systems of publicly funded health care that are universally accessible.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Suicide.ca, Quebec’s Digital Suicide Prevention Strategy Platform: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Suicide.ca, Quebec’s Digital Suicide Prevention Strategy Platform: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

In 2017, the Quebec government asked the Association québécoise de prévention du suicide (AQPS) to set up a DSPS. This DSPS was intended to inform the population about suicide and mental health resources, identify people at risk for suicide on the internet, and offer web-based intervention to people who rarely use traditional help services. The AQPS then launched a broad consultation process with Quebec suicide prevention stakeholders [7].

SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance System in Canada: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance System in Canada: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

Quebec soon became Canada’s first epicenter, likely due to southern travel into the United States during its winter school break, which occurred two weeks prior to lockdown measures implemented in mid-March [5]. Figure 1 shows the timeline of COVID-19 in Canada. Fast forward one year later, Canada has had a resurgence of COVID-19 infections and has reimplemented public health guidelines to control the COVID-19 epidemic.
