Hurry Up and “Weight”: Innovative Inter-Professional Outpatient Care for a Service User With Severe Anorexia Nervosa Awaiting Admission to (Specialized Elective) Inpatient Care in Canada

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
22 November 2016

Abstract

Inpatient care for adults with eating disorders in Canada is limited. An innovative outpatient interdisciplinary approach and a service use example are presented. With no current benchmark, this approach may offer a practical solution for outpatient teams seeking to be helpful when service users are left to wait for inpatient care.
