IWK Healthcare
The IWK Health Centre Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) programme in Canada, recognized the essential need to understand whether, and how, their clients were achieving improved mental health outcomes. They believed joining CORC would provide them with the support and structure to meet their goals for routine outcome measurement.
The programme is embedded in a paediatric tertiary care hospital and has over 30,000 individual visits a year from children and youth in Nova Scotia and three nearby provinces.
Since joining CORC in January 2017, and gaining access to a network of international mental health service providers, MHA are beginning to find solutions to the challenges of how best to measure outcomes in various paediatric mental health settings.
