Abstract:

Harm reduction reduces the risk of negative effects of health behaviours. Supervised consumption services (SCS) provide clean, safe and supervised locations for substance use. They are one strategy to reduce unintentional overdose and spread of infectious disease. The first in-hospital SCS in Edmonton, Alberta continues to offer services to inpatients. Nurses provide supervision of substance use, health promotion and education to clients. SCS staff also provide education to hospital nursing staff who refer clients for SCS. Despite existing community and hospital SCS, nursing frameworks for SCS

Abstract:

Background: In 2016 AHS EMS joined a national research study to improve outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA). In reviewing data, we were moved by our colleagues’ performance in these difficult and dynamic situations. We identified that a problem in our organization was a lack of formal recognition for our colleagues who provide the highest quality clinical care in difficult situations. We further recognized that celebrating clinical excellence creates a culture of high performance, which improves outcomes. The solution we chose was to create a challenge coin to be presented to

Abstract:

Background: Opioid overdoses have been an increasing public health problem in North America for several years. Supervised consumption sites (SCSs) – hygienic and medically supervised spaces to use illicit substances – are one harm reduction strategy intended to decrease morbidity and mortality, with literature suggesting they reduce emergency department (ED) visits, overdoses, and deaths. Calgary’s sole SCS opened in 2017 and received over 6000 monthly visits prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but recent provincial policy has jeopardized its longevity.

Abstract:

Environmental health related inequities can occur when environmental hazards or disasters disproportionally impact vulnerable populations, when environmental protection activities place a disproportionate burden on marginalized groups through a lack of inclusion or representation, and through creation of policies or programs that address only the immediate environment rather than the broader structural determinants that have created it ( Gore and Anita, 2013 ). Environmental public health (EPH) practitioners are well positioned to reduce inequities when they are empowered to include an equity

Abstract:

Increased child and youth overweight and obesity, as well as significant health effects associated with obesity, have led to recommendations for multicomponent prevention programs. In 2005 to 2006, the former Calgary Health Region (now Alberta Health Services) had an opportunity to develop, deliver, and evaluate an early intervention service for families with children at risk for overweight and obesity. Using available evidence and with access to key advisors, core team members developed and implemented a curriculum for a family-focused, behaviour-based education program entitled Make It HAPPE

Abstract:

Introduction: Treatment decisions in localized prostate cancer are complicated by the available choices. A rapid-access cancer clinic (RAC) has been unique to Calgary, AB, since 2007. This RAC offers multidisciplinary prostate cancer education by a urologist, medical oncologist, and radiation oncologist. It is hypothesized that treatment utilization data from decisions taken at RAC may serve to benchmark the appropriateness of treatment decisions on a population level.Methods: Records of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer in Alberta between October 1, 2007 and September 30, 200

Abstract BACKGROUND Paediatricians play a central role in the screening and diagnosis for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Current diagnostic procedures rely on a history, screening and diagnostic tools, and collaboration with developmental specialists. The assessment process may vary among paediatricians due to the variety of available screening and diagnostic tools and opportunities to collaborate. As part of a quality improvement initiative through Child Development Services at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, paediatricians were surveyed about their present ASD screening and diagnostic prac

Abstract Sheep and goats present land stewards with a unique opportunity to graze areas that cattle cannot access and by consuming plants that cattle find unpalatable. While Alberta has a thriving sheep industry and ranks third in Canadian sheep and lamb inventories, producers continue to seek new opportunities to improve land stewardship and better understand grazing animal management. Resources are limited for flock managers that provide the details necessary to successfully graze sheep or goats and maintain forage health under typical and novel circumstances.

Abstract:

As the number and proportion of elderly persons in the Canadian population increase, utilization of health services by the elderly becomes a growing concern for health service insurers, financial managers and policy makers, as well as for care providers. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study to analyse the use of hospital services by the elderly in Alberta since the introduction of a universal single payer health care insurance system in 1970. The study period coincides with the implementation of publicly-financed comprehensive medical and hospital insurance programmes

Schools across the province of Alberta are increasingly diverse in terms of student backgrounds, circumstances, and needs (Alberta Education, 2017). In order to respond to the needs of a diverse student population, many schools are providing supports targeted to children and youth identified as being at risk for poor outcomes. The Wellness, Resiliency, and Partnerships (WRaP) project, initiated in 2009, was born out of recognition for the need to provide individualized, strength-based supports to students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
