"Music the Stein Way"
It o pi tal Ombudsman
Smooths Way for Patients
Sinai Hospital has acquired
a new pair of "ears" and
its patients a new voice. She
is Alice Slate, Sinai's recent-
ly appointed "ombudsman,"
or patient representative.
Dr. Julien Priver, Sinai
executive vice president, who
made the announcement, said
that "As ombudsman, Mrs.
Slate functions as empathetic
liaison between the patient
and the hospital staff in a
continuation of our efforts to
individualize the care we
provide our patients."
Mrs. Slate refers patients'
concerns to appropriate de-
partments, then follows up
to determine whether the
necessary action was taken
and the patient's needs were
met, he said.
"In planning the ombuds-
man role at Sinai, we felt
that our patients should have
a warm and compassionate
person who can understand
their problems and act ot
them effectively," said Mrs.
Ruth Edelson, chairman of
the department of nursing.
"Mrs. Slate was selected
because she has these quali-
ties in abundance and is also
thoroughly familiar with hos-
pital procedures."

they just want someone to
listen; others tell me of
little annoyances such as
dripping faucets or cold
coffee. I refer the problem
to the department involved,
then check back to see if it's
been corrected. I handle an
average of 10 complaints a
day."
Some problems are of a
more serious nature — a
patient who can't agree to
needed surgery, or a family
who can't face the impend-
ing death of a family mem-
ber. For those in deep dis-
tress, Mrs. Slate uses Sinai's
other resources—the social
services department, psy-
chiatric consultation, what-
ever is needed to help
troubled people. Her own
nursing experience is also
called on to answer patients'
many questions about their
regimen.

ican Hospital Association in
1972 revealed that over 1,000
hospitals of 7,000 surveyed
had the position of ombuds-
man, patient representative
or patient advocate, as it is
sometimes called.
"Ombudsman is a Swedish
word meaning help, and the
post was originally created
to help citizens relate to
their government," said Mrs.
Edelson. "Hospitals, too, are
confusing and frightening
places. Patients are unsure
to whom to relate their needs
and concerns. Today's health
care calls for a multidis-
ciplinary approach to patient
care, so that people from
many specialties are relating
to the patient. To whom can

Over the years she has
held the posts of head nurse,
inservice supervisor and as-
sistant director of nursing.
She is married and the
mother of twins Alan and
Aaron, 11. and Angela, 12.
Mrs. Slate wears street
clothes and lab coat when
she visits patients. "It's
easier to identify with pa-
tients when I don't wear a
uniform," she explains, "and
patients don't categorize me
as another nurse."

None of the beef supplied
to kosher butchers comes
from Canada, he added.
Several kosher meat deal-
ers have taken early vaca-
tions or curtailed hours be-
cause of the short supply,
said Cohen.
With the coming of the
High Holy Days, there will
be a rush to buy meat. But
Cohen said he suggests to
his customers that they buy
on a day-to-day basis be-
cause "I don't know what
prices will be like in Sep-
tember," after the price
freeze is lifted.
Cohen added that senior
citizens are the most hard-
pressed in the current situa-
tion. Those who get food
stamps may call the office
of the Meat Dealers Associ-
ation, 864-6782, for a list of
kosher markets that accept
stamps, he said.
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ova-
dia Yosef issued a call to all
Jewish communities to pray
for Syrian and Iraqi Jews on
Tisha b'Av.
The chief rabbi urged com-
munal leaders to exert un-
ceasing pressure on govern-
ments and international or-
ganizations to in turn pres-
sure the Syrian and Iraqi
regimes, "until they treat our
brethren in a civilized man-
ner and let them live in
peace or leave their coun-
tries."
Rabbi Yosef urged particu-
lar pressure to be brought to
bear on Iraq where the mur-
der of the Kashkosh family
had been addmitted by the
premier.

Cohen said that in the past
week, the price of veal, lamb
and poultry has increased
another 10-15 cents per
pound. Local beef whole-
salers who provide fronts
(kosher cuts) to kosher
butchers have been cooper-
ating as much as possible,
he said. Adding to the prob-
lem, however, is the fact
that those who normally buy
nonkosher meat are buying
kosher because they can be
assured of quality.
