Rx for Change Web Cast: Invitation

The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH), through its COMPUS program, invites you to participate in a web cast on its Rx for Change Interventions Database.

There is much research offering new approaches for the clinical aspects of useful and efficient patient care, but changing clinical practice is often based on beliefs, rather than on scientific evidence. Rx for Change provides decision makers with reliable, up-to-date, evidence-based information to assist in the selection of behaviour-change strategies that promote the optimal use of medicines by both practitioners and patients.

Discover how this first-in-class tool can help you to find current research evidence to improve drug prescribing practice and use.

This database is available through a joint collaboration of the Canadian Optimal Medication Prescribing and Utilization Service (COMPUS), the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC), and the Cochrane Consumers and Communication Review Groups.

Dr. Jeremy Grimshaw, of EPOC, will provide a demonstration of the database, discuss the methodology for development, and answer your questions.

Rx for Change is available on the CADTH web site. Questions about the upcoming web cast can be forwarded to rxforchange@cadth.ca.
