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.
