Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.7K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Bacterial Signaling01:30

Bacterial Signaling

33.0K
Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...

Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

4.5K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Clinical Trials: Overview01:11

Clinical Trials: Overview

3.1K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.7K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Health Economics
  • Innovation Management

Background:

  • The Canadian medical device industry presents unique challenges for innovators.
  • Limited research exists on the specific experiences of Canadian medical device innovators.
  • Understanding these experiences is crucial for industry growth and support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the experiences of Canadian medical device innovators.
  • To investigate their perceptions and attitudes towards health economic evaluation.
  • To identify challenges in navigating the Canadian medical device market.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured interviews conducted via virtual conferencing.
  • Participants were C-level employees of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
  • Qualitative data analysis to identify emerging themes.

Main Results:

  • Ten participants interviewed; 40% had minimal/basic health economics knowledge.
  • 90% deemed health economics "Quite" or "Very important" to their company.
  • 50% reported difficulties with Canadian device approval/health technology assessment compared to the USA.

Conclusions:

  • Canadian medical device innovators value health economic evaluation but face adoption hurdles.
  • Barriers in Canada lead some innovators to focus on international markets.
  • Further research needed to support SMEs in the Canadian medical device sector.
