TT'ESDAY. AUGUST S lP.iR HERALD AND NKWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE WE Hospital Kelp No Excuse For Missing Of f ice Work By JKRRY BENNETT NEA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON cNEAi - Coins to the hospital is no excuse for not keeping up with your office work. That's likely to be the philosophy of Inush business executives if a revolutionary new treatment pro gram is adopted for the hospital of the future. The U.S. Public Health Service is studyins a convalescence plan which requires patients who are not seriously ill to wait on them selves and enjoy plenty of ac tivity. PHS officials are eagerly awaiting results of its first test run now being conducted at the Manchester Memorial Hospital in Manchester, Connecticut. Known as the Graduated Care technique, the system divides nospital treatment into five dis tinct types of care. Three of these make up the Manchester experi ment. The first calls for an intensive care unit to house patients who need continuous medical treat ment and observation. These are victims of highly acute ailments like heart attacks and gastric nemorrhages. Also included ; people who have just undergone raaicai surgery. intensive care units require complete stocks or the latest life. saving drugs and treatment de vices. And professional nurses must be in constant attendance. When a patient improves so he doesn't need round-the-clock med ical attention, he is moved to an intermediate care unit. Much of his treatment here is provided by pi regular clothes and go to the practical nurses and nurses' aids. This enables a larger number of highly skilled registered nurses to wait on patients who are more seriously ill. The next step to recovery is likely to draw criticism from re cuperating romeos. It's a trans fer to the self-care unit 'where pretty nurses in fact, any nurses are a rarity. Patients live in homey, com fortable surroundings and wear street clothes instead of pajamas. They have to take care of them selves as much as possible. Dr. Aims C. McGuinness. PHS special assistant to the Secretary for Health and Medical Affairs declares: "The patient who doesn't have to be in bed is far better off. psychologically as well as physi cally, if he can walk around dining room or cafeteria for his meals and to the lounge for radio or television or social contacts." The two parts of the graduated care program not under study at Manchester are the long term re- Husbands! Wives!

Such patients include chronic dis ease and fracture cases. The home care plan has been in existence for .several years. It enables a person to stay home and receive regular hospital treatment at the same time. Under this system, the patient either visits the hospital for treat ment or is cared for at home by staff physicians and nurses. Health experts believe one of the most important benefits of graduated care is its guarantee of expert round-the-clock medical at tention for patients who need it the most. They explain that overworked nurses may sometimes be unable to give acutely ill peo ple extra attention in wards where they must also wait on healthier pat ients. Dr. McGuinness declares: "There are indications Uiat the self-service units can be operated at much less expense than regular hospital units. Since the cost of services alone makes up about 70 per cent of all hospital costs, any time a hospital can eliminate serv ices safely, it can reduce charges."
