Sites of memory
No full textThis chapter explores the importance in memory studies of the scholarly turn towards place as an object of study. In this regard the huge French collaborative project led by Pierre Nora on lieux de mémoire (sites of memory) has been extremely influential. Keir Reeves discusses Nora’s work, elucidating the distinction he drew between ‘real’ community memory (‘milieux de mémoire’), which he believed died out in France around the 1970s, and the didactic expression of national memory through lieux de mémoire. He notes that Nora has been widely criticized for his focus on national memory, but focuses on how historians and interpreters of heritage have used his concepts to think imaginatively about the ways in which memory, place and the public intersect at sites of historical commemoration. Surveying a wide range of sites across the world, from Australia and Cambodia to the British Channel Islands and the United States, Reeves shows how complex these dynamics of memory can be, and how important it is for historians to be attentive to the responses of visitors to sensitive sites of memory, and to the ways in which their emotions and actions continually reshape the meanings of these landscapes

Evaluation Of Hospital-Based Fall Prevention Program
No full textTitle: Evaluation Of A Hospital-Based Fall Prevention Program
Author: Keir Ringquist
Abstract:
Background: In response to The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals (The Joint Commission, 2005), developed to prevent falls in hospitalized patients, the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago (UIMCC) implemented a fall reduction task force in spring 2006. The fall reduction task force examined best practices and literature and developed a fall prevention program (FPP) using an input-transformation-output model as well as a logic model. The program was implemented in fall 2007.
Methods: Data related to patient falls were collected 1 year prior to and 1 year after implementation of the FPP to analyze whether there had been any change in the fall rate, the severity of falls, and the types of falls that patients experience while in the hospital.
Results: The results indicated a significant change in the fall rate from preintervention to postintervention of the FPP. No statistically significant change was observed in patients from the preintervention period to the postintervention period in terms of either severity of falls or the types of falls reported.
Conclusions: This study suggests that the implementation of the FPP devised by UIMCC was effective at reducing the fall rate of hospitalized patients
