He explains why effective healthcare extends far beyond clinical visits and why factors such as housing, income, food security, racism, trauma, and access to social supports play a critical role in determining patient outcomes.\nThe conversation also examines the importance of integrated care teams, patient-oriented research, pragmatic clinical trials, health informatics, and the future role of evidence-based decision-making in healthcare systems.\nTopics discussed include:\nThe growing burden of chronic disease in modern healthcare\nHow poverty and cost-of-living pressures impact diabetes care\nWhy healthcare systems struggle to address social determinants of health\nThe value of integrated, team-based healthcare models\nLessons from healthcare systems in the United Kingdom and Ontario\nWhy patient voices must be included in healthcare innovation\nPragmatic trials and real-world healthcare research\nThe Calgary Diabetes Mobile Clinic initiative\nThe role of health data, AI, and learning health systems\nWhy empathy, trust, and human connection remain essential in healthcare\nThe future of healthcare innovation and evidence-based policy\nDr. Campbell offers a powerful reminder that improving healthcare outcomes requires more than better treatments. It requires understanding the realities of people's lives and designing systems that work for everyone.\n\nAbout:\nNAIT Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation – Visit here\nThis series was produced by Road 55 in Edmonton,...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rMDOfiwGoFs2dIN2hvQSbLwmwYS-gC3_5VIJqsGL3fk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMGIx/MDA0OWIwNmFhM2Ew/ZjdmZTQ3Mzk5YjRi/MWRkNS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
