The World Health Organization and other institutions are considering Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a technology that can potentially address some health system gaps, especially the reduction of global inequalities in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). However, because most AI-based applications developed implemented high-income countries, their use LMICs contexts is recent there lack robust local evaluations to guide decision-making low-resource settings. After discussing potential...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as a strategic lever to improve access, quality, and efficiency of care services build learning value-based health systems. Many studies have examined the technical performance AI within an experimental context. These provide limited insights into issues that its use in real-world context raises. To help decision makers address these systemic holistic manner, this viewpoint paper relies on technology assessment core model contrast expectations sector...
Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are expected to “revolutionise” healthcare. However, despite their promises, integration within healthcare organisations and systems remains limited. The objective of this study is explore understand the systemic challenges implications in a leading Canadian academic hospital. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 stakeholders concerned by large set AI organisation (e.g., managers, clinicians, researchers,...
Abstract Electronic health records (EHRs) are considered as a powerful lever for enabling value-based systems. However, many challenges to their use persist and some of unintended negative impacts increasingly well documented, including the deterioration work conditions quality, increased dissatisfaction care providers. The “quadruple aim” consists improving population patient provider experience while reducing costs. Based on this approach, quality well-being providers could help rethinking...
Introduction Stroke is one of the leading causes death in Canada. While stroke care has improved dramatically over last decade, outcomes following among patients treated rural hospitals have not yet been reported Objectives To describe variation 30-day post-stroke in-hospital mortality rates between and urban academic We also examined 24/7 access to CT scanners selected services hospitals. Materials methods included Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) data on adjusted from 2007...
Background Digital health technologies (DHTs) are promoted as means to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare systems. However, a growing literature is shedding light on highly polluting nature digital industry and how it exacerbates inequalities. Thus, footprint DHTs should be considered when assessing their overall value The objectives this article to: (1) explore stakeholders’ perspectives integrating impacts in assessment procurement practices; (2) identify factors enabling or...

Introduction Rural emergency departments (EDs) are important safety nets for the 20% of Canadians who live there. A serious problem in access to health care services these regions has emerged. However, there considerable geographic disparities trauma center Canada. The main objective this project was compare local 24/7 support rural EDs Quebec and Ontario as well distances Levels 1 2 centers. Materials Methods were identified through Canadian Healthcare Association's Guide Facilities. We...
Background : Panic disorder (PD) is a common, often unrecognized condition among patients presenting with chest pain to the emergency departments (ED). Nevertheless, psychological treatment rarely initiated. We are unaware of studies that evaluated efficacy brief cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for this population. Aim Evaluate two CBT interventions in PD ED pain. Method Fifty-eight were assigned either 1-session CBT-based panic management intervention (PMI) ( n = 24), 7-session 19), or...
Information about recruitment and retention factors quality of work life (QWL) in rural emergency departments (EDs) is limited. A pilot study was used to determine the feasibility a large-scale these variables Quebec EDs.Two EDs, approximately 10,000 30,000 patients per year respectively, were selected as convenience samples. An online survey containing Quality Work Life Systemic Inventory (QWLSI; 34 items) Recruitment Retention Factors Questionnaire (39 sent ED nurses physicians two EDs....
