individuals who can be contacted to help with
problems in their area. The purpose of this
program is to provide an avenue for patients to
address problems and concerns on the spot.
After normal hours, there are patient satisfac-
tion surveys available near the door of the
Acute Care Clinic. If you have a concern,
take the time to complete the survey
posit it in the locked box,” he continued,

the quality assurance coordinator and pro-

personal attention before the case js consid-
ered closed. Here is the bottom line: There is
no reason for any patient to leave the hospital
having unanswered questions or harboring
concerns which the ‘system’ ought to be ad-
dressing.
“If patients wait weeks or months before
bringing their concerns to may attention, there
may be little I can do after so long a time to
clarify the situation or to take effective ac-
tion.”
Several audience members complained of
the base buses and taxis not obeying the speed
limit and asked if the Security Department
was allowed to ticket Icelanders who break the
speed limit.
“We have sent letters to each of the tenant
commands and contractors reminding them to
obey our speed limits,” Capt. Munsterman
answered. “Of all the tickets that were issued
between mid-August and mid-September, only
half of those were for U.S. personnel.”
He suggested reporting the license plate
numbers of vehicles that are seen breaking the
speed limit and said, “We’ll continued to
enforce the speed limit as best we can.”
Editor’s Note: Issues which were not an-
swered at spouse’s call will be addressed in an
upcoming edition of the White Falcon.
