Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Last Word: LTC residents take control of their life and death
Q: What have been the observed outcomes of implementing POET in the participating homes?
Participating homes experienced a 27% lower rate of transfers to the hospital and a 45% lower rate of transfers to hospital at the end of life, with increased palliative care encounters and residents feeling more empowered to express their wishes.
The Last Word: LTC residents take control of their life and death
Q: What exactly does POET stand for and what problem is it addressing?
POET stands for Prevention Of Error-Based Transfers, addressing transfers from long-term care to hospital that occur due to misunderstandings of consent rules, aiming to reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and better honor residents' wishes.
Ozempic: Boon for Diabetes Patients, Burden for the Health System?
Q: Are there more people with type 2 diabetes that can't be controlled with other standards of care, and how does Ozempic fit into coverage in Canada?
Dr. Lau confirms that a sizable portion of adults, especially seniors, have type 2 diabetes that may benefit from GLP-1 therapies, and notes coverage variations by province (e.g., BC slower drug approvals), while guidelines increasingly favor GLP-1 as a first-line option in some patients.
Ozempic: Boon for Diabetes Patients, Burden for the Health System?
Q: So, Dr. Lau, if we were to be having this conversation in 10 years, what would you hope the data would show to justify all the spending?
Dr. Lau hopes for a future where fewer Canadians have type 2 diabetes and obesity, accompanied by measurable health gains and extended health years, justifying the current investments over the long term.
Aging Without Dignity: Seniors and Poverty
Q: So, Doctor, I'm wondering, why is this level of senior poverty allowed in a wealthy country like Canada?
The existence of ageism and societal neglect allows such poverty levels to persist, resulting in increased costs for healthcare as seniors become unable to live independently.
