HQO implementation poster wins first place at Canadian Psychiatric Association
A poster titled Evaluating the Implementation of Health Quality Ontario Standards for Care of People Living with Schizophrenia at Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care was awarded first place recently at the annual meeting of the Canadian Psychiatric Association. Under the supervision of Vice-President Medical Affairs and Chief of Staff Dr. Nadiya Sunderji, 2020 summer student Matthew Tersigni led the poster design. Congratulations!
The work on implementing the standards for schizophrenia care from Health Quality Ontario (HQO) continues to be a priority at Waypoint. An additional twelve clinicians from seven programs across the hospital recently completed training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for psychosis (CBTp); making this important therapy intervention available to countless more patients. In addition to CBTp, our work also continues on other HQO standards including long acting injectable antipsychotic medication, treatment with Clozapine, transitions in care and follow up after discharge.
