PODCAST
Listen to the sponsored podcast featuring Casandra Gardner, PhD, Associate Director of Medical Affairs at BD-Canada, and Marcy Saxe-Braithwaite, DBA, Associate Vice President of Executive Search Services at The Medfall Group, as they discuss the clinical efficacy of vacuum-assisted biopsies and vacuum-assisted excision technologies in the diagnosis and treatment pathway of breast cancer and how they can help streamline patient care and conserve healthcare resources. Key messages include how health leaders can maximize diagnostic efficiency by ensuring accurate and timely detection while minimizing unnecessary procedures. Vacuum-assisted technologies require less anaesthesia, fewer supplies, shorter hospital stays, and fewer post-operative visits, making them a viable and sustainable alternative to surgery and improving health outcomes for patients.
BLOG
Dans son nouveau article de blogue pour Forum de gestion des soins de santé, Crystal Su, MPH, offre une perspective réfléchie sur ce que la recherche en économie de la santé et en résultats (HEOR) signifient pour le Canada, en s’appuyant sur une publication récente explorant les technologies novatrices dans les parcours diagnostiques du cancer du sein. Crystal souligne l’importance d’intégrer l’HEOR et les cadres de soins de santé fondés sur la valeur pour renforcer la prise de décision en matière de soins de santé. Les idées de Crystal offrent un aperçu convaincant de la manière dont le Canada peut améliorer les résultats, non seulement pour les femmes qui reçoivent un diagnostic de cancer du sein, mais aussi pour le système de santé dans son ensemble. Nous vous invitons à explorer ses recommandations pour faire progresser les soins d’une manière qui favorise un avenir plus équitable, durable et centré sur le patient pour tous les Canadiens.
