M o - i - ' i ; ;.. i How much does it cost to care for an empty hospital bed? It costs about $50,000 per bed to build a hospital in Oregon. But that's just the beginning. Many people and a vast amount of expensive equipment must be available day and night in case someone needs the bed. So rnain taining or caring for a bed, whether it's empty or occupied, costs $29,000 a year. That's why it's important that there aren't too many beds or too few beds in any community. Too many beds raise the cost of health care unnecessarily. Too few beds can be disastrous. To prevent either possibility, voluntary Health Planning Associations in Oregon guide the planning for adequate health facilities, services, and man power throughout the state. In addition, they help coordi nate emergency services. They look into health problems caused by the environment. They help eliminate duplication of expensive facilities and equipment. They ' look to see if hospitals, mental health care services, public health clinics, and treatment centers are adequate. They plan for health care just as people in the com munity plan for schools highways urban development. These organizations are set up throughout the state. There is one State Comprehensive Health Planning Authority. And there are 14 local Comprehensive Health Planning Associations which are dependent upon local financing in order to obtain matching federal funds. Although the Comprehensive Health Planning Associations are staffed by professionals, con sumers now have a voice in health planning in Oregon. In fact, 51 percent of the members of the boards must be non-professionals. These people, along with pro fessionals, meet to review health care needs in Oregon. How does Blue Cross of Oregon fit into this? Blue Cross We feel that Comprehensive Health Planning is the most effective way to assure quality care and contain rising health care costs. So our staff members serve on Comprehensive Health Plan ning boards and committees. And we help these organizations financially. We know that this investment will pay off for all the people we serve. After all, we can't honestly say we care for people unless we do everything we can to help them. If you'd like to learn more about planning for health care in Oregon, just contact your local Comprehensive Health Planning Association or write to Blue Cross of Oregon for information. Blue Cross of Oregon, we care for people. of Oregon Homr oflk: 100 S W M-irkrt St. Plbd. Oron W3H Dirkl offk m hbm. E.ne, Mfdlord ..xi Pdloo. Rrj Ma. Bh. Cro- A
