New! Updated Canadian Disclosure Guidelines: Being Open with Patients and Families

by Orvie Dingwall

As part of Canadian Patient Safety Week, the Canadian Patient Safety Institute has just released an updated version of the Canadian Disclosure Guidelines: Being Open with Patients and Families: http://www.patientsafetyinstitute.ca/english/toolsresources/disclosure/pages /default.aspx This document, a revision of the disclosure guidelines originally published in 2008, aims to help organizations be open and honest with patients and families about safety incidents. CPSI's hope is that these guidelines will create new conversations about disclosure, clarify how best to meet the needs of patients and families, and help align disclosure policies across Canada. Learning organizations will take the opportunity to pause and reflect each time disclosure takes place, to learn from the experience, and make improvements in the system and in how they meet the needs of patients and families.

New Report from MCHP - Adult Obesity in Manitoba

by carol_friesen＠umanitoba.ca

The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy has released the report - Adult Obesity in Manitoba, which can be downloaded here: http://mchp-appserv.cpe.umanitoba.ca/deliverablesList.html. >From MCHP: "Obesity doesn't kill people directly but is related to the development of a number of poor health outcomes, including high blood pressure and diabetes. These are important because they cause serious problems themselves, and they're related to heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death. The scope of the deliverable is to include the analysis of provincial trends of obesity and related chronic diseases over a 10-year period. The findings indicate the impact on the healthcare system from obese and overweight people may not be as significant as expected. Using nationally-administered health surveys from 1989 to 2008 the study found obesity rates increased in Manitoba. Overall, more than a quarter of people in the province are now considered obese. This report also confirms what's been proven in the past - geography, marital status, employment, age, sex, education, smoking, and physical activity level can influence weight." -- Carol Friesen MA, MLIS Manitoba Health Outreach Librarian Manitoba Health Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library University of Manitoba Phone at MH: 788-6477 Phone at NJM Health Sciences Library: 480-1391 Email: carol_friesen(a)umanitoba.ca http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca
