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.

president of the' Southern
Hospital council, has pointed
out that hospital rates vary
according to location, wage
costs, size and other factors,
and this condition will con.
tinue to exist.
Other hospitals Included in
the Southern Council are
Southern Coos General hos
pital, Bandon; McAuley hos
pital. Coos Bay; Cottage
Grove hospital. Cottage
Grove; Josephine General
hospital. Grants Pass; Myrtle
Creek hospital, Myrtle Creek;
Mast hospital. Myrtle Point;
Keizcr Memorial hospital,
Inc., North Bend; Douglas
Community hospital, Rose-
bur;, and Mercy hospital,
Roseburg; and Klamath Val
ley hospital. Klamath Falls.
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.

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

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.
