  Also presenting an abstract was Kathryn Nelson, M.H.A, director of Quality Management at SSM St. Mary's Health Center in St. Louis, Mo., and former patient safety coordinator in the University Hospital and Clinics' Office of Clinical Effectiveness .
  
  The research projects were collaborative efforts completed by a team of researchers from the MU School of Medicine's Department of Medicine, the health system's Center for Health Care Quality and University Hospital and Clinics' Office of Clinical Effectiveness.
  
  Hall's presentation was titled "Patient Safety Booster Sessions Show Promise in Improving Patient Safety Skills in Third-Year Medical Students."The pilot research demonstrated that using health-care safety booster lectures during medical students' third years effectively gave them the opportunity to ask health-care safety questions in a safe setting, increased the students' awareness of unsafe conditions and helped them design interventions to improve health care systems.
  
  The research was conducted by Hall; Scott; Nelson; Karen R. Cox, Ph.D., R.N., quality improvement coordinator in the University Hospital and Clinics' Office of Clinical Effectiveness ; and Wendy S. Madigosky, M.D., M.S.P.H, assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, Colo., and former academic fellow in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at MU's School of Medicine.
  ...
  The research was conducted by Hall; Cox; Nelson; Scott; Kevin Dellsperger, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at MU's School of Medicine ; and Matthew Bechtold, M.D., fellow in gastroenterology at MU's School of Medicine.
  ...
  Nelson found that using a Web-based safety tracking program to record patient safety data can help health care quality teams successfully guide and prioritize improvement efforts.

  "We are really feeling the effects of Medicaid cuts and rising health care costs," said Kathy Nelson, social work supervisor.
  
  To qualify for the fund, a patient must been treated at St. Mary's and must have no prescription coverage and no means to pay for it."We will then give them a voucher for our pharmacy, to cover $50 of their prescriptions," Nelson said.
  ...
  "People may be working with little or no insurance offered, or they can't afford health insurance," Nelson said.
  
  In the spirit of the sisters, many past recipients have returned the favor.Some have sent letters, telling their story and wanting to help others.
  
  "You never know when you will need the help, so we don't ask for anything in return, but so many people do return the favor.
  
  "So many people within our organization support this fund because they know what it means to the patients they see and treat daily," Nelson said.
  
  For the last three years during March, Social Work Month, the social workers at St. Mary's have teamed up in a friendly competition to see who can raise the most money to contribute to the fund.On Tuesdays the social workers carry purses asking for any spare change."Within the first day we were amazed at the support from our co-workers and physicians," Nelson said.So far this month the social workers alone have raised about $1,300, and hope to raise a total of $5,000.
  
  "There are no administrative costs with this program; every penny goes toward helping someone," Nelson said.This is the only program of its kind in the area.
  
  "We have a mission to help those who are underserved," Nelson said.
