Dear CLICK4HP colleagues

I'm researching a new initiative for Victoria, Australia; its HEALTH
PROMOTING EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS.  I would like your help to identify any
information (articles, reports, other resources) on this topic or the
broader issue of health promoting hospitals.  I'm interested in a range of
aspects:
- organisational change and infrastructure for integrating health promotion
into emergency departments,
- case studies or reports of health promotion programs run in or
coordinated by emergency departments, particularly collaborative
initiatives (with the community and industry)
- evidence supporting or refuting health promotion in emergency departments
- barriers and opportunities identified for health promotion via emergency
departments and hospitals
- healthy emergency departments (environments) for staff and consumers.

The 'Budapest Declaration on Health Promoting Hospital' (see definition
below) will be specifically applied to Emergency Departments in an ongoing
project and any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Regards
