Abstract

Many hospitalized patients have substantial difficulty communicating with those around them. Temporary or permanent loss or impairment of communication is difficult on the patient and on the family. It hinders recovery and creates a great deal of frustration for all involved.

We created a tool that provides basic guidance designed to enable communication with the hospitalized patient in a variety of ways. These tools make immediate communication possible .

The tool is actually an online guide that can be accessed via the Center’s website. The Guide is built in the form of a flowchart and uses simple “yes and no” questions to direct the user towards a simple solution that can be downloaded. Use of the Guide does not entail registration or entering of personal information, and it is free of charge.
