“Going for the gold”: Building a world-class evidence-support system for health for future preparedness
« Viser l’or » : construire un système d’appui factuel de classe mondiale pour la santé pour se préparer à l’avenir

Panel Organized by: Public Health Agency of Canada

The response to COVID-19 placed an unprecedented demand on the creation and use of evidence to support timely and effective decision-making, both domestically and globally.  This panel will reflect and build upon learnings from COVID-19 concerning how evidence is funded, synthesized, and used across different stakeholders in a learning health systems approach. The interdisciplinary and multi-organizational panellists will reflect on the different types of, and approaches to gathering evidence; responsiveness to shifting needs; opportunities to formalize collaboration and scale rapid response capacity; strengthening health equity through engagement of community and cultural partners; and better utilizing the information in decision-making.
