BC Covid-19 Survey gets quite personal
Public
The BC Covid-19 Survey has just been launched and people can participate until the end of May 2020.
The survey takes longer than the 10-15 minutes claimed and while the survey does allow people to answer anonymously and answer only the questions they wish to, it does include a number of questions that reveal a lot of private personal information including the individual's PHN if they wish.
New Telehealth platform drCalls.me
Public
Hi all:
As a FP and ER doctor since 1986, I've been involved of late with a software company that developed Verified Medical, a secure document storage and collaboration platform. With the arrival of COVID-19 we realized that there was a need for a free, secure video consultation platform that meets the needs of healthcare professionals for tele-working with PHIPA, PIPEDA and HIPAA compliance.
We recently opened the platform to the profession through drCalls.me and are seeking input from colleagues on how best to develop the platform functionality further.
