It's hard to know where to start, but one of the things that we did in our monthly conference call was get all the pediatric in-patient programs together and say, if the evidence is for outpatient family therapy for youths with severe eating disorders who are medically stable, then what should we be doing with our in-patient programs? Do we just medically stabilize, or do we offer group therapy? Is group therapy effective? We really didn't have the answers because the research hasn't been done.
But what we did decide was to go more towards a model where we would have shorter hospital stays. Our program got rid of our group therapy. We just have parents stay by the bedside. We discharge them sooner to outpatient family therapy, and that was based on a provincial decision of all of the programs that they're going to go more towards that model, rather than longer stays where you do lots of group therapy in the hospital.
