Webinaire – Comment la COVID-19 transforme le paysage des données probantes
Date : 20 octobre 2020
Heure : 14 h 00 à 15 h 00 (HE)
Inscription nécessaire : https://cadth.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_gnMamStBQPmrjsXNYf53Cw
Partout dans le monde, les gouvernements, les chercheurs et les fournisseurs de soins de santé subissent d’énormes pressions pour élaborer et mettre en œuvre des approches efficaces fondées sur des données probantes pour prévenir, détecter, traiter et prendre en charge la COVID-19. La conjoncture, qui combine l’urgence d’agir et des renseignements sur le virus en constante évolution, transforme de plusieurs façons le paysage des données probantes.
Ce webinaire se penche sur l’incidence de la COVID-19 sur le paysage des données probantes, les types de données probantes utilisées dans la prise de décisions, l’utilité des examens rapides pour appuyer les décisions cruciales en matière de politiques et de pratique clinique et le risque que les décideurs sont prêts à tolérer. Les conférenciers chercheront également à voir si la pandémie a changé durablement notre perception des données probantes.
Soyez des nôtres! La PDG de l’ACMTS, Suzanne McGurn, animera une discussion franche avec des experts du domaine :
- Christopher McCabe, Ph. D., PDG de l’Institute of Health Economy
- Anne Hayes, directrice de la Direction de la recherche, de l’analyse et de l’évaluation au ministère de la Santé de l’Ontario, coprésidente de l’Evidence Synthesis Network, et membre de l’Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table
- Nicole Mittmann, Ph. D., scientifique en chef et vice-présidente aux normes de preuves scientifiques de l’ACMTS
