Evidence-informed frameworks for cost-effective cancer prevention and management are essential for delivering equitable outcomes and tackling the growing burden of cancer in all resource settings. Evidence can help address the demand side pressures (ie, pressures exerted by people who need care) faced by economies with high, middle, and low incomes, particularly in the context of transitioning towards (or sustaining) universal health-care coverage. Strong systems, as opposed to technology-based solutions, can drive the development and implementation of evidence-informed frameworks for prevention and management of cancer in an equitable and affordable way. For this to succeed, different stakeholders-including national governments, global donors, the commercial sector, and service delivery institutions-must work together to address the growing burden of cancer across economies of low, middle, and high income.

Hepatology

Cirrhosis Care Clinic, Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Department of Medicine, University of Alberta.
Despite remarkable advances in diagnostics, pharmacotherapy, and transplantation, conventional hepatology often falls short in addressing the persistent symptoms, impaired quality of life, and broader health needs of people living with chronic liver disease. Integrative Hepatology-rooted in the principles of integrative medicine-offers a holistic, evidence-informed approach that combines conventional hepatology with complementary modalities to address the biological, nutritional, physical, psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental determinants of liver health. This framework emphasizes multimodal, patient-centered care aimed at improving both liver-specific and overall health outcomes.

Introduction: In trauma care, there is a need to increase communication to ensure evidence-informed, best practice care guidelines are easily accessible to all providers to yield continuity of care. Clinical guidance use is one way to address this need while employing a patient-centered team approach.
Methods: During year two of the conference series, participants gathered in person and virtually to further develop the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) created during year one.
Introduction: Representatives of the trauma community have voiced a need for a new approach to developing clinical guidance. In this study, we test the initial acceptability of a proposed 12-step approach that aims to reduce the current clinical guidance timeline from more than 24 months to 24 weeks.
Methods: Investigators hypothesized that artificial intelligence (AI) tools could be leveraged to improve and make the process of clinical guidance development more efficient, facilitating AI initial output that could later be reviewed by subject matter experts (SMEs).

Background: Knowledge translation platforms (KTPs), also referred to as intermediaries, play a key role in supporting evidence-informed decision-making. Numerous KTPs exist globally, striving to translate evidence into policy. However, these platforms are described in varying ways, and some KTPs do not explicitly identify themselves as such.
