Hi all,

I've had a request to find information on scripting (this has nothing to do with perscrptions) for patients in the ED re: personal effects.  In other words, informinng patients about storing their personal items while in the hospital (ie, hospital not responsible for missing items, giving valuables to family members to take home, etc).  I've tried the literature and google, but so far nothing helpful.  Has anyone researched something similar or have any ideas where else I could look?  Do any of you know what is done in your hospitals regarding this?

TIA,
