CADTH Lecture Series – Jon Brassey

CADTH is hosting a series of lectures by prominent scholars and opinion leaders to share their perspectives on some of the most pressing issues facing health technology assessment (HTA) and health care today.

After a successful webinar hosted live from the CADTH Symposium, we will resume our regular schedule and invite you to attend the next lecture which will be hosted by Jon Brassey, Director of Trip Database, Inc.

Systematic reviews hold a special place in the “evidence-based” world — seen as the best way to assess the “worth” of an intervention. This view is outdated and needs to be challenged. The current techniques are caught between two stools: not quick enough and not robust enough. Join Jon Brassey for a thought-provoking presentation that will focus on the problems of systematic reviews, the rise of the rapid review, and the potential role of automation. The presentation will conclude with the author’s work in improving search to ensure all the wonderful reviews are findable.

The webinar will take place at 1:00 p.m. EDT on May 25, 2015 in Ottawa and online via webinar.

Registration is now closed.
