We get the kind of information we've brought to you from our members, who are at the local level and who are experiencing the patchwork of communication. And communication is essentially the problem. The Public Health Agency of Canada has produced some excellent guidelines, but they are roughly two to three pages apiece. I don't know how many of them there are right now, and they're coming out at a rate of two or three a week. They're not necessarily of practical value to front-line providers; they're not the one-page, easy-access, and readily available information that they need.
Dr. Doig and I referred to the meeting we recently had with Dr. Butler-Jones and the agency. We tried to develop some of the one-pagers we need, and we are working on that. I'm hoping it wasn't too little, too late. We need something that's easier to read and much more accessible to a family physician who is seeing 30 patients a day.
I recently received a document from one of the regions for infection control—it was 111 pages long. You're going to find very few front-line providers reading 111 pages to figure out how to control infection, which has become a highly important issue in primary care.
