Home Events Corridor Conversations Art Works. It Really Does.
By T. Carter Ross Corridor Conversations Events June 30, 2021
On June 26, 2021, artist, educator, and nonprofit leader Barbara Johnson of Hyattsville-based Art Works Now led an exploration of the many ways art works to support our well-being, along with an exercise in mindfulness connected drawing. From experiencing art created by others to engaging in the creation of your own artwork, art really does make our lives richer, happier, and even healthier. Come prepared with some blank paper and whatever drawing instrument you have around the house (pencil, pen, marker, paintbrush, and/or paint) to participate in some short experiential artmaking.
The event was part of the Route 1 Corridor Conversations series organized by Hyattsville Aging in Place, Helping Hands University Park, Neighbors Helping Neighbors College Park, and Explorations on Aging College Park.

Tarts I would buy again from the last basket include: CFTKR Jill's Strawberry Cream Filled Jelly Roll, Strawberry Noel, LSC Peppermint Marshmallow Snow, SMT Rose Jam/Iced Sugar Cookies/Pink Sticky Mallow, Candy Panda Fruit Loops.
If you would like any of these to be reviewed in depth, please list the scent below and I would happy to do so just for you.
We spent last weekend at my in-laws home in southwest Florida. They live right on a canal and have a pontoon boat that we love to take for a ride out into the Gulf with when we visit. This time of year I crave the sunshine and beach. This is when my mermaid soul really thrives.
Lover's Key near Ft. Myers is really an absolutely beautiful state park. All natural and protected, it thrives with flora and fauna. We reach it by boat, passing a tiny island where dozens of dogs frolic in the water.
On our way to Lover's Key we saw a couple of manatees, a few dolphins and a bald eagle. The water was murky with churning and the sky was hazy but the breezes and sunshine made up for the lack of clarity and abundance of grey.
Barnacles, sea shells, horseshoe crabs, driftwood, and seaweed all made an appearance.
Summer is pretty much here in Florida. And I am ready for it.
Do you enjoy the beach? Boating? Parks? Have you found the perfect beach scents for your home or body? I love CB I Hate Perfume's At The Beach 1966 and The Bathing Garden's Sea of Tears. Please share yours.
I do not enjoy the beach or boating or anything like that since I can't swim, and an incident many years ago has caused a strong distrust of all people when I'm around water, so no, I'll be well inland.
Oh no. Sounds like you have quite the harrowing tale behind that. Jerks are no fun. Do you like the outdoors in general? Hiking is something I would love to under take on a regular basis.
I like being outside and I think I'd like hiking. I don't like camping though.
Have you ever gone geocaching?
No but I have always wanted to. It seems like a fun modern day treasure hunt! Have you? I would love to use a metal detector on the beach too.
I've never done it but was excited to find that people in my area do, that there are spots right around here to 'hunt.' My sister and her husband were doing it a few years ago when they lived in Iowa.
I have a coworker who is HUGELY into metal detectors. He's been doing it for years and has invested in a really good detector. We've been trying to get a time when he can come out here and see what he can find on our property. Our house is over 100 years old so we're excited to see what treasures might be here.
It sounds like you had an amazing weekend! We're waiting for the warmer summer months here to make a trip to some of Korea's beaches. I love anything beach related! As for scents... coconut scents always make me think of beachy Summer times because of a sun screen my mom had my siblings and I use all throughout our childhood. Every time I wash my hair with my Curly Wurly shampoo I get a little more excited for Summer!
Not too much at all!
I can't wait to see pics of Korea's beaches! Sunscreen and coconut call to me too. But a really good coconut sunscreen tart has been elusive for me. TBG had a Beach Bum that smelled good. But it has been ages since I have seen it. I wonder now though if it was a Bobbi Brown dupe.
Lol! I will take a scratchy sand filled bottom for all the lovely reasons you mentioned! I feel the exact same way. I love shelling and then making things with them after. And reading on the beach is pure indulgence.
Thanks Tricia! It was a nice weekend. For Mother's Day we are going to AMI and I cannot wait!

During usability testing we consistently observe that mobile navigation is particularly difficult for users. When designing a mobile navigation it will often have to deviate significantly from the desktop mega drop-down. Most often the mobile menu is by default collapsed and hidden behind a '3-bars' 'hamburger' icon. One particular pitfall most sites struggle with is a mobile menu design that can both allow users to access the broad parent category pages while also allowing users to go deep into the sub-subcategory levels.
Beside these mobile Navigation Menu designs we've also benchmarked the desktop versions; see the 44 desktop Navigation examples.

What to do about hate and speech?
The First Amendment's protections of freedom of speech apply only to the government, not to private employers. Private-sector employers do not have to allow employees to voice beliefs other workers may find offensive. But government employers may not be able to fire employees who participated in protests.
Offsite protests may be one more step removed, but if pictures of an employee's participation in white nationalist rallies are circulating the office, for example, that could lead to tensions and problems in the workplace in violation of the policy. And if a white nationalist is a manager and an employee files an equal employment opportunity claim based on the manager's treatment of him or her, defending the claim may prove difficult.
Okay, beyond law, per se, is right action in a democratic nation that upholds and should continue to uphold freedom of speech. That private sector employees are not protected does not mean that employers should have the right to fire people because of their beliefs or what they say in public. To support the right of employers to do so could apply to Hobby Lobby seeing a video of an employee at a pro-choice rally and firing them because their views go against the beliefs of the employer who finds pro- choice supporters to be ungodly and vile human beings. Judgement of who is vile enough in their beliefs and in speech used to express those beliefs should be left up to whom? Good law is based in principle and application of the law, to be principled, needs to be applied consistently, disputes about to whom or what a law applies settled through reference to the principles in which a law is based.
As I said, I have been reading a lot of material regarding how to deal with those who participated in the Charlottesville ugliness and I have thought a lot about the consequences of the various remedies being discussed for dealing with the problem of hatred and hate groups. This is not the first time in recent history that this nation has had to face the question of how to deal with speech that is hateful. We wouldn't have had to have this conversation again if we were able to understand that what people say is only as harmful as the response they provoke. We do not believe that some others are capable of understanding what wrong with such ideas and fear that they will be swayed by the speech. We also worry about the emotional harm that comes with being a target of hate speech. I think that we need a robust conversation about how to deal with such and I do know that at the university where I worked the response to a student being offended by a statement by another led to requests from administrators for curtailment of speech. The better way to have dealt with things would have been to trust faculty to be able to do with the bad what needs to be done, deal with it in such a way that the problem is rectified and not just buried.

The Michael Kamin Hart Memorial Staff Award is awarded to a technical staff member who has made outstanding contributions in their role during the past year and who has achieved excellence in demonstrating the IIDR's core competencies and values.
an undergraduate summer student (3rdor 4th year) who plans on pursuing graduate work at McMaster. Students who completed their undergraduate degree in the Spring of 2018 are eligible for this award.
a Master's level student who began their MSc degree in September of 2016 or later (including students who have since transferred into the PhD stream).
a PhD student. All direct entry PhD students and PhD students who transferred from the MSc stream who have been in graduate school for more than two years are eligible for this award.
Michael Kamin Hart was a promising Master's student at the IIDR, remembered by director Dr. Gerry Wright as "inquisitive and creative; a team player but also highly independent". He was exceptionally dedicated to his research within Dr. Justin Nodwell's lab, where he focused on discovering new antibiotics from environmental microbes that have the potential to be used as new drug candidates. In a short period of time, Michael identified, purified, and solved the structure of a potent antimicrobial molecule, 13-deoxytetrodecamycin. His enthusiasm and pursuit for knowledge was highly admirable.
At the IIDR, Michael's legacy lives on not only through his publication, but through the Michael Kamin Hart Memorial Scholarships established through his family and friends. Through these scholarships, Michael will forever be remembered as a dedicated young scientist, outstanding student, and loyal friend.


This section provides an incomplete list of my exhibitions. For the artist, exhibition - a definite stage of creativity, as opening night for an actor or a concert for a musician - an important and significant event. People come to look at the pictures to rejoice or to . think about the serious. Stopping near the picture, the person is left alone with the feelings and thoughts of the artist, and becomes important, whether the author is sincere when he created the product ore no. Falsehood will be visible at all times. Exhibition - a look at the creativity on the part and test their skills. This is a priceless opportunity to talk with visitors, guests and colleagues and share the history of each work. Exhibitions in other countries provide an opportunity to get acquainted with its people, show them to the Russian school of painting and talk about its traditions.Exhibition activities artists need both the author and the audience and contributes to mutual spiritual enrichment.

Inorite? But I'm so glad I got it done!
It's so lovely! It's a gorgeous design, even if you don't know what the heck it means. Those of us "in the know" will SQUEE.
I'm so happy I got it done. I'd been fressing and moaning about what type of tattoo I wanted, (all Who-related, because I am that geeky), and then the lightbulb finally went on over my head. I've always loved this, and I already have a necklace with the symbol. It was full speed ahead at that point.
Hugs to you, my dear - I'm so glad to hear from you!
And yes, I'm pretty damned pleased with the result!


I don't usually shoot newborns after 14 days. They become much more awake at the 3 week mark and much less "pliable" I'd say. However I had Graham, his mama and his aunty in the studio and consider Graham was a few days shy of 4 weeks, I'd say he performed like a champ! He slept the whole time, didn't fuss and I think he only pooped on one blanket! Success!


New research indicates that wealth and social class has a greater impact on the health of the elderly than originally thought.
A study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council found that people from lower socio-economic groups, on average, die earlier than their wealthier counterparts.
People from lower socio-economic classes, and people with less education and wealth, are also more likely to suffer from both self-reported illnesses such as depression, and also from long-term conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity, it is claimed.
Today's report states that while early retirement is generally good for people's health and wellbeing, it can have the opposite effect if forced upon them.
People forced into early retirement generally have poorer mental health than those who take routine retirement, researchers found. And those who took routine retirement in turn were found to have poorer mental health than those who had taken a voluntary early retirement.
The benefits of volunteering or caring by the elderly was also recognised, with the study finding better mental health and wellbeing, but only if they felt appreciated and rewarded for their contribution.
Commenting on the report, Professor Nazroo from the University of Manchester said: 'Increases in life expectancy raise major challenges for public policy. Among these is the need to respond to marked inequalities in economic position and life expectancy at older ages.
'In addition, despite the fact that we are all living longer, many people now stop work before the statutory retirement age and a large proportion of these still have the potential to provide a positive input into society, the economy and their own wellbeing.
Is there a downside to being the first-born?

Why You Need to Watch Bravo's New Scripted Series Odd Mom Out
By Sharon Clott Kanter Updated Jun 08, 2015 @ 4:15 pm
Odd Mom Out cast

Here's a new show to add to your DVR: Odd Mom Out, a new scripted series debuting on Bravo tonight. The show follows Jill Weber (Jill Kargman), a tattooed stay-at-home mom of three who lives on the Upper East Side with her loving law firm partner husband Andy Weber (Andy Buckley). She's struggling to navigate the world of the posh and prickly clique of Upper East Side parents, including her own brother-in-law Lex (Sean Kleier) and sister-in-law/mombot/friend/frenemy Brooke (Abby Elliott), which results in a fast-paced and funny half-hour episodes that are rife with hilarious one-liners about obscene scenarios.
Many of Upper East Side's most well-known clichés are represented, including prestigious, mahogany-walled preschools, the stress of kindergarten applications, flashes of Bugaboo stroller parking outside events, and SoulWheels, the show's amalgam of SoulCycle and FlyWheel, complete with screaming instructors and cult followers. In the first episode, you'll break out laughing when Jill goes to SoulWheels to support Brooke's charity, New Yorkers Against Childhood Obesity, an organization she calls "nacho" for short (no, Brooke doesn't see the irony).
Recently, Abby Elliott swung by InStyle's New York offices to discuss her role on the show. Aside from Jill, she's the one you're going to love to watch. Scroll down to find out what five things the Saturday Night Live alum thinks you'll love about Odd Mom Out.

1. It's Based on a True Story
"When I met Jill, it was like love at first sight. She's a genius. She explained how she feels like the odd mom out on the Upper East Side, living in this world. She grew up in the world of these crazy rich people and momzillas. I really connected to what she was talking about, because I think everybody can. It's like anywhere has soccer moms.
2. She Wears Really Preppy and Bright Clothes
"It is very vibrant, colorful color scheme that Brooke wears, and a lot of dresses. The woman who does the costumes is Staci Greenbaum, who also does Broad City. These couldn't be more different characters. But since playing Brooke, I have embraced my femininity more. She's had that influence on me."

3. She's Learning Some Odd Rituals
"There are so many things that I didn't know, like what a sip 'n' see was. It's basically a party after you give birth where people come over and sip and see. It's so you can drink. But I think it's because you look better and lost the weight. Another one is when my husband and I on the show change our name from Weber to Von Weber because we find out we're Austrian aristocracy. There's so many things that I was like, 'Oh, that's funny. That's like a heightened joke. How did you come up with that?' and Jill's like, 'Oh no, that's real.'"
4. The Show Was Shot at a Real House in the Upper East Side
"The house that we filmed in as my house was filled with Picassos and everything. They had to take it all down for shooting. It's a crazy house. There's a basketball court, a giant backyard in Manhattan."
5. This Role Is Different Than Anything She Ever Did on SNL
"I love doing comedy. I love finding cool ways to say things and timing and whatnot. But this is different than SNL. This is acting. I always think it's really funny to be as honest as you can. I think the comedy comes from that. I think there are a lot of moments in this that are honest and real. It's nice to play one character and sort of explore her throughout the season."
Odd Mom Out premieres Monday, June 8 on Bravo at 10/9c.

Q: Javascript: call function from function while maintaining both arguments function a(x) {
    //...
    return { b: b(arguments) }
}

function b(x, args) {
    // x = foo
    // args[0] = bar
}

a("foo").b("bar");

How do I get this to work ?
Inside function b I want to access x from function a and x from function b after this call: a("foo").b("bar");

A: If you make a() and b() methods of the same object and a() stores it's argument in that object, you can get access to it from b().
function foo() {};
foo.prototype = {
    a: function(x) {
        // do whatever you want
        this.arg = x;
        return(this);
    },
    b: function(y) {
        // y is what is passed here
        // this.arg is what was passed to a
    }
};

var obj = new foo();
obj.a("foo").b("bar");

A: Will this work for you:
function a(x) {
    return {
        b: function(y) {
            //here you can access both x and y
        }
    }
}

A: Since b(arguments) will be called immediately, b(arguments) have to return a reference to a function for that to work. Something like this:
function a(x) {
    //...
    return { b: b(arguments) }
}

function b(x, args) {
    return function () {
       alert(x[0]); // Will alert foo
    };
}

a("foo").b("bar");

Like this b(arguments) will be called immediately, and the return will be a reference to a function. When you then call .b("bar"), the returned function reference will be called. That function is within the scope of function b, since it is declared within it,  and therefor the arguments passed to a will be available.
A working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/XcgwV/

A: how about:
function b(x, args) {
    document.writeln("fun b");
    // x = sup
    // args[0] = hi
}

function a(x) {
    document.writeln("fun a");
    return { b1: b }
}

a("foo").b1("bar");

A: How about passing the result of a(x), straight into b() as an option? Like;
function a(x) {
    return x
}

function b(x, y) {
    var result = y ? x + y : x;
    return result;
}

b(x, a(x));

Calling 'a("foo").b("bar")' won't presently work as you've written it, as that currently implies that b() is a sub property of a{}. For me, I'd probably need to know a little more about what you're trying to do.

You are at:Home»Opinion»The Talking Indian Coconut
The Talking Indian Coconut
By Kushal Mehra on	 January 2, 2017 Opinion
"I refuse to call my city Mumbai. To me, it will always be BOMBAY" uttered the innocent, well-meaning Indian Coconut. Now in case you're wondering and don't know what a Talking Indian Coconut is. Let me explain it to you. The definition of the 'Talking Indian Coconut' is:
A person aspiring and trying very hard to be white-minded but he/she/it is trapped in a brown body and whose masked inferiority complex will not allow them to acknowledge the fact, if pointed out to them.
Before I go ahead with my analysis, let me make some things very clear. Once upon a time during those days of my mental colonization, I was a talking human coconut myself! (I feel I still have a long way to go. 'Decoconutisation' is a constant process). I had a certain way of looking at my surroundings. I used to have a distinctively Anglicized/Western/Euro-Centric lens. My worldview was shaped by certain norms (which now I call myths) where I would derive certain conclusions based on certain views which I thought were universal. The epistemological categories that I used to apply in the past when it came to defining something as basic as my disbelief in certain religious claims of Hinduism were also based on Euro-Centric epistemological categories.
Now back to the main moot point. So this is what a friend/fellow human being/coconut #1 used as a retort when I pointed out to him in a completely non-violent way about the usage of the word Bombay. "I think this approach to citing historic occurrence to justify the present action is the reason why India is still plagued with caste, regional and religious divide. Who cares what was called what. For me, it's Bombay for you Mumbai and for someone else Bumbai."
Look at the line of thinking or in my view the complete lack of it. Just because we refuse to call a city BOMBAY or we call it MUMBAI, we become "a society plagued with caste, regional and religious divide". What a ridiculous argument! According to the Indian Coconut, the Ethnic Indian Identity is the source of all the conflict in India.
The person then follows it up with the standard 'who cares what was called what' jibe. Well, you certainly do care what it is called because you directly associated the calling of a city Mumbai to a whole plethora of social problems. As if when the same city was called BOMBAY these problems did not exist. As if when Mumbai was Bombay, everything was hunky dory. As if we were all living together holding our hands together singing soulful songs.
It is why and how a city gets called something that matters the most. It is the methodology and the thinking behind the name that matters. That is why what we call ourselves matters a lot. How we define ourselves as a society should matter to each and every Indian.
Now onto to Coconut #2. This one says, "Bombay represents culture, a strong sense of inherited enterprise, the pivot of the freedom movement, liberal-mindedness, women's security, business approach and an ability to deliver come what may let's not be monocultural now. "
So does only calling the city BOMBAY represent all those things that the coconut #2 mentioned???? How could a lowly Marathified Mumbai represent lofty values like culture, a strong sense of inherited enterprise, the pivot of the freedom movement, liberal-mindedness, women's security, business approach and an ability to deliver come what may? How dare I the lowlife desi associate these values with Indian-ness. It is only reserved for the left-liberals.
After all, Coconut #1 had mentioned all of India's problems are because of its Indian identity. And what can one say about the allegation of hey dudeeeeeee let's not be monocultural now? Obviously, Indians are not allowed to have their grand narrative. So what if the entire West has its grand narrative? So what if Britain just had Brexit which was based largely on cultural issues? They can have that privilege, but how dare these low life third world coolies even think of having such privileges? Don't they know their place?
And this is where the crux of the problem with the Indian Coconut lies.
The Indian coconut associates modernization with westernization. For the Indian Coconut, the Indian ethnic identity is something that needs to be eliminated. This is coupled with the Indian fair-skin complex that associates progress with the color white. Otherwise, which country on planet earth would sell a fairness cream?! (The whites are already fair, blacks have no expectations, while the browns are seriously hopeful!) In the words of Rajiv Malhotra, I think it is time someone wrote a book on 'How the Desis are becoming White'.
And whiteness is not just the color of your skin. Whiteness is not just a racial connotation. Whiteness represents a set of values and world views. Once you start following those set of values is when you enter the cozy club of whiteness.
It is like a power structure. And many Indians in the West and India have molded themselves into a certain way to enter this club. These are the social climbers.
Therefore the Indian Coconut suffers from Stockholm Syndrome*. They sound like that battered wife who says, 'so what he beat me, man; he gave me amazing food to eat with yummy desserts. And do you know, desserts had great toppings too.' (I would like to clarify here that I have nothing personal against the current crop of Britishers or the Western world at large. I don't hold any grudge against them for the behavior of their ancestors towards my people. My wife is a westerner too!)
Karl Marx wrote in 1853,
England has to fulfill a double mission in India; one destructive, the other regenerating – the annihilation of the Asiatic society, and the laying of the material foundations of Western Society in Asia.
So after looking at the Indian Coconut could we safely assume that England was successful?
There are even more important questions that need to be answered. Could there be a universal model of 'modernity' without slipping into moral and cultural relativism? A homogeneous concept of modernity defined for all races? The origins of 'Modernity of the West' stem from a critical analysis of their society that had inherently Judeo-Christian values. Can a model of Judeo-Christian values be copy-pasted onto a Dharmic Indian society?
At a metaphysical level, a Dharmic society is very different from a Judeo-Christian society. In such a scenario don't we need to redefine the categories of what constitutes to be modern or liberal? Can we classify a Dharmic society into categories such as 'modern', 'liberal' and 'conservative'? Are classifications such as 'right wing' & 'left wing' or 'atheist' & 'theist' meaningful in a Dharmic society? Another classic example is applying Freudian psychoanalytical tools on a Dharmic society. Are our intellectuals so lazy to create categories that fit into our socio-cultural understanding?
We need not go back to the old Vedic times. What we need is to have more intellectual rigor and try to find our narrative. Intellectual lethargy makes a society stagnant. I find it deeply disturbing when I see Indian youth being mentally conditioned in a way where they are convinced that Western values are universal, and they are the be all and end all of this world.
The concern is not whether Western values are good or bad. The concern is that we are lazy that we won't even critically analyze something before we map it onto our socio-cultural ethos. One's own identity must be properly established and the psychological coconut must break.
* Stockholm syndrome or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon described in 1973 in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors.

The workshop will help participants to learn mixed-model line design skills, and be able to apply them immediately in their home factory environment.
Led by line design experts from Leonardo Group Americas (authors of Fundamentals of Flow Manufacturing), this advanced workshop will feature presentations from industry experts at Toyota Material Handling. Participants will implement line design tools in a simulated environment, and perform an actual product build using production-level hardware.
Participants in the Mixed Model Line Design Workshop will have the opportunity to compare what they learn in the workshop's simulation environment to what is actually done at Toyota's Columbus, Indiana factory, which was named one of Industry Week Magazine's Top 10 Plants of 2011. Tours of the plant will led by seasoned Toyota experts, with a focus on the line design tools being applied in the classroom.
Because being visual and being Lean go hand-in-hand, workshop participants will complete their physical line design implementation with guidance from the Visual Factory experts at Orgatex, a world-leader in Visual Factory tools.
Attendees will receive a complete copy of the Lean Road Map for Line Design, the Mixed Model Implementation Guidebook, a copy of Fundamentals of Flow Manufacturing and a CD with all necessary forms, software tools, worksheets and checklists.
Cost: $1,995 per person. Lunch included all three days.
Enrollment limited to 32 participants.
The Lean Factory Group is a non-profit organization with the mission of promoting Lean thinking and methods in industry.

Although I've known about user stories for about five years, I've only now been in the position to practise what I preach.
Having promoted them within my team (particularly following QCon 2007), I'm trying to use them on every project I work on and have to say I am blown away by their effectiveness! Although we captured them onto a wiki, their power immediately became apparent when we started using the real paper/card versions.
First off, estimating (complexity) became immediately easier: we analysed each card and divided them into three piles (easy, medium and complex). Unknowns and design notes were made direct onto each card, for later reference. The cards could also be simply arranged in dependency groups. Pieces of paper divided into piles made the shuffling back and forth incredibly easy and low cost.
We then assigned effort estimates (weeks) to each story and grouped them into possible iterations. Again, the ease with which changes could be made, and the effects so easily seen gave the analysis extra power. I've always previously used Excel to do this kind of work, but whilst it "looks" professional and does the sums for you, it lacks the speed and imprecision of paper!
The power of paper was further demonstrated when we met with a system commissioner, and talked them through our analysis. Each piece of paper could be referred to in turn, to address unknowns and discuss implementation considerations. The story groups could be simply seen, but also easily rearranged.
The ironic twist is that we kept our wiki versions of the story up-to-date as we changed the paper ones. However, we came to the conclusion that whilst the paper stories looked unprofessional (my writing is not the neatest :-), the real paper ones were just so much more powerful.

Planning for Health Equity: Mental Health Promotion and Care
Addressing deep-seated health inequities requires comprehensive strategies drawing on the insights and innovation of communities and community-based providers.One useful tool that can support good planning and engagement is the Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA). Wellesley has recently published primers on HEIA and on Mental Well-being Impact Assessment (MWIA), and continues to do workshops with many partners on the topic. This workshop was at an excellent conference on equity and diversity in mental health sponsored by Hong Fook Mental Health Association and others partners.
I always develop concrete scenarios that we can work through – or often enough, participants have something. The scenarios developed in this particular presentation were around establishing a new health promotion program in an immigrant community, developing a drop-in service in a poor neighbourhood, and addressing higher re-admission rates for psychiatric patients from disadvantaged populations.
I learn something new from every workshop – and try to capture these lessons learned in the slides. The new wrinkle that arose here was that these scenarios deal with two different kinds of issues. The first, having identified the need to address a key access barrier or support a particular population, we want to make sure planning the new services doesn't miss anything. In other words, we think we have the solution and we want to ensure we implement it effectively. Second, we know there is a key problem, such as higher re-admissions, and need to drill down to find a solution. Can HEIA help for both these purposes? In working through the scenarios, we determined that it can.
