Environmental interventions in assaultive behavior.
Statistical data on patients assaulting other patients are almost non-existent. Collection and analysis of data concerning patient assaults is necessary before effective interventions can be developed. Assaultive behavior can be effected by extrinsic factors such as organizational and environmental structure. Environmental manipulation can change the behaviors of confused, disoriented patients.

No exit. The effects of an electronic security system on confused patients.
Alternatives to chemical and physical restraints exist. They are as complex as individual voice warning systems or as simple as push-button combination locks. An electronic security system can improve the quality of life for alert, oriented patients (and their families) who share a unit with confused, wandering patients. An electronic security system can be effective in alerting staff to the presence of a monitored patient in a restricted area.
