Hello <<First Name>>,
Happy Tuesday! Here's what's making EENet News:

Delayed discharges from hospitals are a significant problem, resulting in poor patient outcomes and delayed access to care. Recently, The Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre’s H-CARDD team, in partnership with CAMH’s Provincial System Support Program, developed practice guidance to address the challenge of patients with a developmental disability and a mental illness (i.e., dual diagnosis) who are experiencing prolonged hospital stays throughout Ontario.
The companion report below highlights some examples of how to implement the practice guidance effectively.
We invite you to read and share the report, tagging us @EENet_News on Twitter or on LinkedIn and/or Facebook.
