Mr. Wauford, who started the New York branch about 14 years ago, is involved in three local projects: a hotel in Hoboken, the Lighthouse Point mixed-use development on Staten Island and a mixed-use project in East Harlem.
Eight local projects aimed to reduce falls, but half of the se only involved the distribution of 'non-slip' slippers.
In addition four local projects in three areas promoted immunisation and general health awareness, and two of them provided health screening (BP, cholesterol, BMI etc).
Two local community projects developed a new care pathway for patients with breast cancer.
During an information meeting in the two local community projects starting to develop a care pathway, each setting presented itself.
A steering group including all the primary care representatives of these two local community projects was established to observe the development of one care pathway for primary care.
Regional regulation and habits in these two local community projects supported the use of (new) structures, networks and the creation of a sense of "ownership".
Two local community projects succeeded in using the existing and newly developed structures to create a sense of "ownership" with all healthcare professionals.
An example of the use of existing structures was the explicit question to the representatives of primary care in two local community projects how soon they could inform or ask feedback from their peers.
Finally, two articles outlined local projects that made use of trust level survey results to improve local services and measure change.
