In this program, hospital-based clinical and research staff mentor young adolescent students. The authors describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Science Fair Mentoring Program as an innovative learning experience.

A departmental program for falls prevention and management, initiated in 1987, and arising out of the awareness of the economic, physical, and psychological effects of falls in hospitalized patients, has been described. Given the results outlined, there is no doubt that the efforts applied in the area of falls prevention have been extremely worthwhile in affecting major quality improvements in patient care. The benefits of the falls prevention program include a reduction in the incidence of falls as well as an increased awareness by staff, patients, and families of the importance of monitoring patients at risk for falls.

A well-devised patient discharge form can help to alleviate chart retrieval problems at hospital clinics and can get patients involved in their own health care. The discharge form developed at The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City, has been especially helpful to physicians because the form contains essential information about patients that can be used when a chart is unavailable.
