Bob, thanks so much for posting this. This is always a big issue working in the emergency department where I work. I didn't realize there had been a change in venue here.
Many times a day patient's friends and families members call asking about their loved ones and they usually get the customary "I am sorry but I can't tell you.....This will go along way to improving provider/patient/family relations.
This is something I will forward amongst my colleagues.
