Area Hospitals Endorse New Uniform Accounting System o ; The seven regional councils of the Oregon Association of Hospitals have endorsed a program setting forth a set of guiding principles and a uni form accounting system, wich will become effective in this area July 1. Announcement of endorse ment by the Southern Hospi tal council, which includes the Medford and Ashland hos pitals, was made locally by Sister Luke of The Saviour, and Bernard (Jack) Storm berg, Sacred Heart hospital; and Charles I. Gustafson, manager of Rogue Valley Me morial hospital. The system, sponsored by the National. Hospital associ ation, and adopted by the Ore gon Association of Hospitals, sets forth the principles of es tablishing hospital charges and a definition of standard hospital services. Purpose of the program is to assure high quality patient care and pro vide a standard system for computing hospital bills. "Daily hospital service" will supplant "room rate" as a yardstick by which patients may measure their bills un der the new system. Under daily hospital serv ice will be listed all the charges normally collected from all patients-rooms, lin en service, meals, special diets, general nursing serv ice, medical records and ad mitting service, use of ordi nary hospital equipment and instruments, drugs and sup plies. Or in simpler words, the three hospital represent atives explained, daily hospi tal service will include all commonly used services and supplies provided In relative ly equal quantities to each pa tient. The hospital will furnish to each patient an accounting of his bill, regardless of the source of reimbursement to the hospital. The local hospitals have cooperated in the past in working out an accounting system, but it will now be done on an organized basis. Accepted Voluntarily Under the new system, which is accepted voluntarily by the hospitals, they will be able to compare costs. The new system does not tend to increase the patient's total bill, the Medford hospital managers emphasized. It also does not set uniform rates nor establish charges. C. F. Cole.

Explaining The System The three Jackson county hospitals, which have endors ed the guiding principles, are Sacred Heart and Rogue Val ley in Medford; and Ashland Community hospital, Ashland. Brochures explaining the system will be available to the public in hospitals sub scribing to the plan, certifi cates will be displayed to show the hospital's member ship. In addition to general safe guards concerning the qual ity of service and protection given the patient, the code restricts duplication of facil ities in other community hos pitals when such duplication of facilities would increase the cost of care. Hospitals are charged with admitting per sons regardless of race, creed or color. An acutely ill pa tient will not be subjected to delay in receiving care, and emergency patients will be given first aid immediately regardless of financial status. The hospital's -first obliga tion is to furnish care to the sick and injured, the guiding principles point out. Other hospital objectives listed are advancing scientific knowl edge, furthering employee ed ucation and promoting com munity health. The Medical Roundup by t A V S 1 Cmoriiuo ComulUnl in Mtelclne Mayo clinic Bmontai Profouar of Medicine Mayo Cllnio (Rtgiuor and Tribune Syndicate. 1M1) Wife of An Alcoholic 1 wish all men who are slipping into alcoholism could read the very sad letters that the wives of chronic alco holics send me every so often. Some of these women are el oquent in their description of the terrl b 1 e torture that a woman and her children must endure while living with a man wno, everv so often comes home much like a ran. ing mamac-aoustve, cruel and even dangerous. Often he strikes his wife and he beuts up his children, On my desk Is a letter from a woman who says that for most of her married life, her husband has been an alcoholic and as a result, she and her children have gone through mental and physical agony. As she says, "Of course, there have been a few moments of nappiness, Dut they never lasted long; I knew that soon he probably would be drunk, Dealing me and yelling at me, ana tormenting the children "Sometimes, on returning (ram a druimen spree, he has Kept us awake all night, preaching to us about some afraid of him; often they don't dare, move when he is around. When, to free them. I tell them to run an errand for me. he senses why I did what I did; and then, in his anger. he is likely to go after me roughly. Muit Be 'Dried Out' "Every so often he has to be put into a hospital so that he can be 'dried out' ... He has Just had three months of this. I don t think he'll ever stop drinking. I want to leave him, but many people say I should stay with him. My answer to them is that they never lived with an alcoholic. and hence have no Idea of how awful the lite is." What Is remarkable, and against some present-day psy chiatric theories, is that all of the children, who for so many years have lived in a pet peeve he has, such as that the country is Koine to the dogs ... if I open my mouth, or even if I don't, he Is likely to pull me out of bed onto the floor. Sometimes I have to run and hide from him," She says that she lost her love for him years ago. "The children have become terribly hellish home, are doing well at school. They seem to be well-adjusted, and only one Is moody and at times depressed. Fortunately, they are "taking after" their good mother. Children who have grown up in such homes have told me that they now think their mother was unwise in sticking it out-as long as she did; they feel usually that it would have . been immensely easier on them if their mother had left with them, and had gone to make her living in a distant city. In many of the cases in which the mother is forced to leu ve the man, she has to leave town and drop out of sight, because he has often as sured her that if she ever left him he would follow and kill her - and he meant it.
