Hospital Kelp No Excuse
For Missing Of f ice Work

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-

covery unit and the home care
plan.
In the complete five-part sys
tem, the long term unit is planned
for patients who require medical
attention for longer than 30 days.
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."
