A New Model for Horticultural Therapy Documentation in a Clinical Setting

The horticultural therapy team at Rusk Institute, NYU Medical Center, created a new comprehensive patient reporting document that is integrated into the computerized system at the medical center. The staff observes and records each patient's behavior, social interaction skills, and cognitive, physical, perceptual, and sensory abilities. This new tool is posted on the patient's secured chart and is available immediately to the entire team.
