World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day
October 20, 2023
Today is World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day, a global initiative to raise awareness about the need for better evidence to inform decision-making and improve health outcomes. This year’s theme is Evidence and Global Health Equity. CADTH is proud to support this initiative and share some of our latest insights and work on this important issue.
Equity in Evidence Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought
In Canada and globally, the health technology assessment (HTA) community has been working to advance equity in HTA, from adapting methods and seeking more inclusive perspectives to more nuanced considerations of implementation issues that may reinforce inequities.
In her blog post titled "Equity in Evidence Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought," CADTH President and CEO Suzanne McGurn reflects on why equity matters and the integrated approach CADTH takes in applying an equity lens to our work.
She also wrote about the importance of considering equity in health policy and practice decisions in a new article in The Hill Times (subscription required).
