Cardinal Health Canada
The challenges facing the Canadian healthcare system are complex and multifaceted. The system needs higher quality, actionable data that tracks health outcomes and system performance on provincial and national levels. And, one of the greatest challenges in the short-term is the need to navigate urgent procedural triage concerns while simultaneously forging a sustainable path forward for healthcare delivery long-term. #CardinalHealth recently took a significant step to bolster domestic medical product storage capabilities in Canada with the opening of a new 163,000 square-foot distribution center in Ontario, increasing the distribution footprint in Canada to more than 1.2 million square feet. Read the article below where Cardinal Health Canada President Russell Schuster shares his perspectives on the healthcare system and how Cardinal Health stands at the ready to partner on solutions. #CanadianHealthcare #SupplyChain #Logistics https://lnkd.in/dcECiVXD

First Nations Wildfire Evacuation Partnership
🔥Exciting news! The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools at McMaster University released a Rapid Review that dives into the effectiveness of public health interventions on the direct and indirect health impacts of wildfires and, we’re proud to see one of the FNWEP publications featured in the review. Wildfires and their smoke have well-documented effects on public health, impacting both physical and mental well-being, as well as having broader environmental and socioeconomic repercussions. Effective responses require multi-sectoral collaboration, community engagement, and evidence-based decision-making across all phases: prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. This rapid review assesses and summarizes current research to support evidence-informed decision-making in public health. The report also emphasizes the ongoing need for further studies to fill gaps, especially in diverse populations and contexts. Dive deeper into the report here: https://lnkd.in/depxk7qu Check out the featured FNWEP publication in full, "Wildfire Evacuation Experiences of Band Members of Whitefish Lake First Nation 459, Alberta, Canada," available here: https://lnkd.in/gk_wJVdy #FNWEPresearch #FNWEPtips #ResearchInsights
