In fact you are touching upon a very important topic of how we adapt to these new technologies and the human factor in the adaptation.
The type of research we are funding is all about discovering these new technologies and, I believe, not enough about how we cope with those new technologies. We're now getting into more research that is more social research. Also, how do we change practice? How do we get the current health practitioners to change their practice, to change their ways, to accept and adopt these technologies?
This is what we call implementation research, which is not far from behavioural psychology, to tell you the truth. We believe it is important to fund more of that type of research so that we get a better handle on implementing these new technologies, but also sometimes to change very mundane practices, such as the way you disinfect a central line. You know that all the literature says that the way you are doing it is not the right way, but to change the practice into the right way of doing it is difficult because you are dealing with people.
Through our patient-oriented research strategy, again working with the provinces, we are putting a lot of emphasis on supporting implementation research and translational research that will tell us how to better bring these innovations into practice and change practice.
It's absolutely critical, because we are talking about human behaviour, and that is not something that is as easy to change as one might want.
