Description
This project aims to provide transitional care to adults who use drugs and who are currently experiencing sheltered or unsheltered homelessness or who are vulnerably housed (e.g. living in supportive housing) following discharge from the Ottawa Hospital. The project will co-design and pilot a person-centered, trauma-informed transitional care model at the Ottawa Hospital and with relevant community organizations which will include supporting the transfer of patients into the community.
Description (French)
Cette initiative fournira des soins de transition aux adultes qui consomment des drogues et qui sont actuellement en situation d'itinérance, dans ou hors des refuges, ou qui sont logés de façon vulnérable (c'est-à-dire qui vivent dans un logement supervisé) après leur sortie de l'Hôpital d'Ottawa. Le projet permettra de concevoir et de mettre à l'essai un modèle de soins de transition centré sur la personne et tenant compte des traumatismes à l'Hôpital d'Ottawa et avec les organisations communautaires concernées, ce qui comprendra le soutien au transfert des patients dans la communauté.
Expected Results

Expected Results (French)
Les intervenants et les Canadiens ciblés ont accès à des renseignements fondés sur des données probantes concernant la consommation de substances et ont la capacité (connaissances, compétences et soutien) d’éclairer leurs décisions et actions en matière de consommation de substances.
