Dr. Brian Goldman: 我是本期节目的主持人,关注加拿大初级保健面临的挑战,例如许多加拿大人缺乏家庭医生,即使有家庭医生也难以预约。 Dr. Tara Kiran: 我是一名多伦多的家庭医生和研究员,我前往荷兰学习其初级保健系统的经验,以期为加拿大的医疗体系改进提供借鉴。在荷兰,我参观了紧急呼叫中心和全科医生诊所,亲身体验了荷兰医疗系统的运作方式。荷兰的紧急呼叫中心组织有序,通过详细的算法和电子病历进行初步评估,由全科医生签署每一通电话,并为需要面诊的患者提供预约时间。荷兰的全科医生负责24/7的患者护理,面诊中心等待时间很短。这与加拿大形成鲜明对比,加拿大只有36%的人可以在非工作时间看到家庭医生。荷兰的系统中,患者必须首先由全科医生评估,才能进入急诊室,这有效地减少了急诊室的等待时间和医生的工作负担。荷兰的医疗记录系统无缝连接,而加拿大在这方面存在障碍。荷兰通过立法保障了患者对自己健康记录的访问权。 Dr. Angelique Heemskerk: 我在荷兰的紧急呼叫中心工作,负责处理非危及生命的紧急医疗事件。我们通过电话详细询问患者情况,并根据情况提供相应的建议或安排面诊。 Dr. Tim Oldhartman: 我在荷兰的一家全科医生诊所工作,我们诊所位于风景优美的乡村,服务于许多年轻家庭。我们的医生每天都会抽出时间进行家访,这在加拿大并不常见。我们诊所的运作效率很高,这得益于实践助理的帮助。 Chris Arts: 我是荷兰的一名实践助理,我的工作内容非常多样化,包括接听电话、迎接患者、更新处方、进行免疫接种、处理伤口等。我喜欢这份工作,因为它每天都充满挑战。
