Webhealth has been specifically developed to provide access for people to connect with Health and Social Services. This web-based approach builds on the strengths of people and families to determine their support needs. Within the Webhealth website is Linkage. Linkage is a partnership between an NGO, Pathways; primary health care, Pinnacle; and a secondary provider/hospital, Health Waikato. It offers early intervention services with a “one stop shop” in central Hamilton and New Plymouth.

Ziprasidone, Olanzapine Improve Cognitive Function in Schizophrenics
Medscape Medical News story - "Ziprasidone (Geodon) produces full standard deviation improvements in clinical cognitive responses for 62 patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder in a study assessing long-term effects of treatment. Olanzapine (Zyprexa) also produced significant cognitive improvements, although not as large, for 71 patients in the six-month continuation of the randomized, double-blind study comparing the two atypical antipsychotics."
