    S5 Ep5: Reducing hospital admissions for mental health crises by bridging hospital and community care featuring Alanna Summers, Jennifer Sandberg and Jane Dolan
    Jan 9 2026

    In this episode we feature another award-winning, quality improvement project this time based in Victoria, Vancouver Island. Our guests are Alanna Summers, Program Manager and a registered psychiatric nurse, Jennifer Sandburg, Team Lead occupational therapist, and Jane Dolan, MHSU Clinical recreational therapist, from the South Island Mental Health and Substance Use team. Starting with the gap in care they first identified, they take us through how they developed their cost effective and successful Bridging Care program for patients in mental health crisis. This program not only provides effective, patient-centered care but has also reduced hospital admissions and inpatient length of stay. We hear how local healthcare leadership had the foresight to support the original vision, powerful testimonials from some of the program’s patients, and how developing the program itself brought positive benefits to the provider team.

  • S5 Ep3: Optimizing Visiting Specialist Clinics and Equitable Care featuring Dr. Angela How

    S5 Ep3: Optimizing Visiting Specialist Clinics and Equitable Care featuring Dr. Angela How
    Dec 13 2025
    Visiting specialist clinics are a lifeline for patients with chronic disease in rural and remote communities across the North. They save patients travel time and costs and also provide care in context of their own local communities and available supports. But patient non-attendance at these clinics can negatively impact the quality of their longitudinal care leading to increased morbidity. In this episode, Dr. Angela How takes us through her quality improvement work based at her rural visiting specialist rheumatology clinic in Hazelton improving patient attendance through a culturally safe approach incorporating motivational interviewing techniques. At the same time, we hear how her 28 year commitment to her Hazelton clinic has been both personally rewarding and helped to build local trust by providing equitable patient care.
