This document summarizes a study that measured sustained behavioral changes and reduced HIV risk from peer-based sexual health screening and counseling among men who have sex with men in Western Australia. The study found that rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV were all significantly reduced in returning clients compared to new clients of the M Clinic, suggesting that the peer education and screening services provided by the clinic positively influence behavioral changes that reduce HIV risk.

A wonderful lecture at Maine Quality Counts, 2015. For Dr. Montori's approach to this subject see http://www.epatientdave.com/2016/01/02/a-declaration-of-the-future-of-caring-careful-kind-minimally-disruptive/
This is the presentation Victor Montori (KER UNIT, Healthcare Delivery Research Program, Mayo Clinic) gave at the Normalization Process Theory symposium at King's Fund, London, UK on October 22, 2010.
In 2010 Mercy Hospital sought community partnerships to assist in meeting the needs of individuals presenting to the hospital’s emergency room repeatedly who, due to their substance use disorders, mental health disorders, and/or co-occurring disorders, were not able to successfully access and engage in community-based services to address needs. This webinar will chronicle the process of development of the project by community stakeholders, implementation, highlight challenges and successes, delineate measurable one-year outcome data and return on investment.

Patient’s experience, improve the quality health3zsaddique
Putting patients first requires more than world-class clinical care – it requires care that addresses every aspect of a patient’s encounter with Hospital, including the patient’s physical comfort, as well as their educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. A team of professionals should serves as an advisory resource for critical initiatives across the Hospital health system. In addition, it should provide resources and data analytics; identify, support, and publish sustainable best practices; and collaborate with a variety of departments to ensure the consistent delivery of patient-centered care.
