The recent enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act challenges health care institutions to provide facilities and services to persons with a variety of disabilities. A hospital-wide Sensory Assistance Program was developed and implemented to identify and assist patients with visual, hearing, or speech impairments. Preliminary evaluation of the program indicates very positive patient and staff approval and acceptance and minimal cost outlays to the institution.
最近颁布的《美国残疾人法案》对医疗机构提出了挑战，要求其为各类残疾人提供设施和服务。一家医院制定并实施了一项全院范围的感官援助计划，以识别并帮助有视力、听力或言语障碍的患者。对该计划的初步评估表明，患者和工作人员对其高度认可和接受，且该机构的成本支出极少。
