CADTH’s Rapid Response Service… At Your Service!

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2017
1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. AST

Join us to learn more about CADTH’s Rapid Response Service, our fastest and most flexible offering, which provides rapid reviews of the best available health technology assessment evidence to support timely Canadian health care decision-making regarding drugs, diagnostic tests, medical devices and clinical interventions. CADTH has produced thousands of Rapid Response reports covering a variety of topics such as portable ultrasound devices, telehealth, the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, and interventions for chronic pain.

The New Brunswick Department of Health provides funding to operate CADTH’s Rapid Response Service.  As such, Rapid Response is available free of charge to support eligible requests from New Brunswick customers within the health ministry, health authorities, hospitals, or federally or regionally administered health care programs in NB. All completed reports are available on CADTH’s website at cadth.ca/rapidresponse

Learn how the Rapid Response Service has been used by some New Brunswick customers to inform policy and practice decisions and how you can benefit from it as well.
