In a minute

Looking for a credible mental health website for your patients? A website that promotes mental health and recovery through informed consumer choice and adherence to best practices in treatment guidelines? A resource with information that is evidence-based and in a language easy to understand by patients?

Then check out www.mentalhealthminute.com. This website is part of a project that is currently funded by the Canadian Council on Learning. It contains a series of multimedia resources, including audio segments, consumer-friendly treatment guidelines, podcasts, and vodcasts. It is intended to act as an “educational hub” of evidence-based information for consumers.

Project partners are the National Network for Mental Health (lead organization), Mood Disorders Association of Ontario, Participants Council of North York General Hospital, and the Ontario Association of Patient Councils. For more information, contact the project director, Dr Thomas Ungar, at tungar{at}nygh.on.ca.

Room to move

Want a cheap and simple way to solve emergency room crowding? Move the admitted patients awaiting a bed from the emergency department to the hallways of the inpatient wards. Developed in New York in 2001, this idea has been tried with success in Vancouver and is being implemented in Edmonton. In Alberta, patients will be moved to designated “flex” areas on inpatient units whenever the number exceeds 25% of available stretchers. In New York, this “full-capacity protocol” resulted in shorter waits in the emergency department and shorter stays in hospital for admitted patients. For more information, see www.capitalhealth.ca.
