Impact of primary health care reforms in Quebec Health Care System: a systematic literature review protocol
Introduction During the last decade the Quebec Public Health Care System (QPHCS) had an important transformation in primary care planning activity.

The aims of this systematic literature review are to map and aggregate existing literature and evidence on the primary care provided in Quebec, showing the benefits and limitations associated with the health policies developed in the last two decades, and highlighting ar...

JBI systematic review protocol of text/opinions on how to best collect race-based data in healthcare contexts
Introduction Racialized population groups have worse health outcomes across the world compared with non-racialized populations. Evidence suggests that collecting race-based data should be done to mitigate racism as a barrier to health equity, and to amplify community voices, promote transparency, accountability, and shared governance of data. However, limited evidence exists on the best ways to collect race-based data in healthcare contexts. This systematic review aims to synthesize opinions and texts on the best practices for collecting race-based data in healthcare contexts. Methods and Analyses We will use the Joanna B...

The following is a guest article by Erin Rutzler, Vice President of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse at Cotiviti In Delaware, more than 250 Medicare patients underwent unnecessary genetic testing based on telehealth consultations that often lasted less than two minutes—costing Medicare thousands of dollars per patient. Meanwhile, an emerging scheme for fraudulent and unnecessary cardiovascular and cancer genetic testing allegedly resulted in $174 million in false and fraudulent Medicare claims. These are just two examples of what the Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership describes as a surge in fraud, waste and abuse associated...

Impact assessment of a raw coal ban on maternal and child health outcomes in Ulaanbaatar: a protocol for an interrupted time series study
Introduction Despite a decade of policy actions, Ulaanbaatar’s residents continue to be exposed to extreme levels of air pollution, a major public health concern, especially for vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children. In May 2019, the Mongolian government implemented a raw coal ban (RCB), prohibiting distribution and use of raw coal in households and small businesses in Ulaanbaatar. Here, we present the protocol for an interrupted time series (ITS; a strong quasi-experimental study design for public health interventions) that aims to assess the effectiveness of this coal ban policy on environmenta...

HIV self-testing: what GetaKit can tell us about Canada's $8 million one-time investment
Can J Public Health. 2023 Apr 13. doi: 10.17269/s41997-023-00768-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAt the 16th International AIDS Conference in Montreal, Canada's Federal Health Minister announced that the Government of Canada will invest $17 million to increase access to HIV testing, $8 million of which would be used to purchase and distribute HIV self-tests. While HIV testing, and subsequent diagnoses, is a critical first step to achieving the updated UNAIDS goals of 95-95-95, testing on its own does not guarantee linkage to treatment or prevention services. In other words, it does not alone guarantee progress toward the ...
