HMF BD Podcast: Re-imagining breast care: Cost-effective innovations for Canadian healthcare
Listen to the sponsored podcast featuring Cassandra Gardner, PhD, Associate Director of Medical Affairs at BD-Canada, and Marcy Saxe-Braithwaite, DBA, Associate Vice President of Executive Search Services at The Medfall Group, as they discuss the clinical efficacy of vacuum-assisted biopsies and vacuum-assisted excision technologies in the diagnosis and treatment pathway of breast cancer and how they can help streamline patient care and conserve healthcare resources.
Key messages include how health leaders can maximize diagnostic efficiency by ensuring accurate and timely detection while minimizing unnecessary procedures. Vacuum-assisted technologies require less anaesthesia, fewer supplies, shorter hospital stays, and fewer post-operative visits, making them a viable and sustainable alternative to surgery and improving health outcomes for patients.

HMF Intuitive Surgical Podcast: The far-reaching impact of robotic-assisted surgery on healthcare systems
Listen to the podcast by Tracee Pratt, Executive Director, Women’s Health Programs at Lois Hole Hospital and Sturgeon Community Hospital in Alberta and the Women’s Health Lead for the Edmonton Zone speak about the evolution and success of the robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) program in the OR, and the downstream benefits. Tracee will share insights into how they operationalized the RAS program to successfully achieve a zero-wait time for targeted gynecologic-oncology procedures.
This session is moderated by Tara Klassen, PhD, the Provincial Program Lead – Surgical Innovation and Scientist for the Evidence Decision Support Program. Tara is engaging key stakeholders in the long-term planning for RAS, while considering the evidence, health economics, and organizational impact to make evidence-informed decisions about the equitable access and expanded use of RAS in the province. This novel approach to adoption of innovation will transform the delivery of surgical care with the objective of providing timely access to high-quality surgical care, regardless of where patients reside in the province.

HMF CIFAR Podcast: Do national innovation projects shape citizens’ public health behaviours?
Listen to the podcast with Don Juzwishin, PhD, FCCHL, and Dan Breznitz, PhD, as they provide more detail on CIFAR’s program on Innovation, Equity and the Future of Prosperity, and talk with author Jane Gingrich, PhD, about her work in the United Kingdom related to innovation strategies and how they shape citizens’ public health behaviours. In an era of rising nationalism, public authorities face the temptation to lean into national sentiment to encourage citizens to engage with public health policies - from taking vaccines to promoting healthy lifestyles. Her research suggests that public health authorities should be cautious with nationalist framing, as it may be ineffective or counterproductive. Jane Gingrich, PhD, is a Professor of comparative social policy at the University of Oxford in the Department of Social Policy and Intervention.
