Hospital Efficiency

In May. 1914. the Philadelphia County
Medical Society appointed n committee
10 consider ways ana means b. which
the efficiency of the hospitals in Phila-
delphia may be Increased" This com
inittec made IN extensive study OF the
hospital situation In Philadelphia Tho
three reports OF the committee en-
bodying the results OF this study, to-
Tcthcr with an introduction on Tho
PRINCIPLES Of Hospital Efficiency" by
the secretary or the committee are now
issued in pamphlet form.
one OF the most important nndinsa
OF the committee ia that no standards
as yet exist by which the efficiency of
q hospital may be measured. Tho oper-
atinS expense OF one institution may
be 81 n day for each patient. and that
Of another, little over 81 a day for
each patient. Is the latter figure a
credit or IL disgrace? One dIspcnsary
physician may treat twice as many
patients In an afternoon rs his col
League working under the same condi-
tons. Which one is accomplishing tho
most good?
Standards of efficiency must he for
muiatcd and applied before such cues
tons as these can be answered Nntu-
rally, this lack OF standards is reflected
IN chaotic conditions. For instance
the committee made n careful study
of the record systems used in sixteen

In eight OF these. some systematic eff
fort was being made to secure the com
plctencss and accuracy OF the records.

registrar finally checking the records.
Four different systems of classi.ica-
ton were being used in these eight
hospitals. Only three OF the sixteen
hospitals were maintaining separate
files for recording all operations per-
formed in the hospital, grouping to-
Ecthcr all operations of like character.
so that tho number of all operations
performed during Il given period with
the results of each. could be quickly
ascertained. The committee states that

the records were SO Kept rs to be use

made for the Improvement OF record
systems. the establishing OF social SER
vice departments. the prevention of
dispcnsary abuses, etc In fact. the
Journal OF the American Medical As-
ISOLATION is OF the opinion that tho re-
port contains many valuable suggcs-
tions for those who are interested In
the Improvement Of hospitals, and de-
serves to be widely read.
