institutions In the U.S., and re-
ceive 92% Of the admissions
However, they contain only 4O%
Of the total number of beds.
The AHA cited steadily rising
labor costs as the major cause
Of hospitals increased expenses.
Hospitals last year employed 66,-
825 more persons than In 1861 tc
meet the heaviest patient demand
In history.
237 Employees-10o Patients:
The 1,762, ,957 persons employed
In all hospitals In 1862 made the
hospital field one Of the nation's
largest areas Of employment. For
each 100 patients In a short term
general hospital, 237 employees
are required.
Edwin L. Crosby, MD, AHA
director, pointed out that new
services and equipment that did
not exist 10 years ago have con-
tributed also to increased costs.
He predicted that expenses will
continue to rise.
Other hospital officials have
noted that increased costs for
hospitals are not necessarily
passed on to patients. Whether
a patient pays more or less Is
determined by how much of the
hospitals added costs are alb
sorbed by endowments and other
contributions.
All hospitals registered with
the AHA spent $1o.1 billion last
year to provide care for 26. 5
million patients, the Guide Issue
reported. Expenditures In 1861
were 1913 billion and the num-
Der Of patients totaled more than
25.4 million.
$40 Of Budget: Payroll expsn-
ses took nearly 67% Of the total
budget Of all hospitals, the AHA
said. It noted that since 1852, the
average payroll expense for each
employee has risen about $50.
Hospital labor costs have In
creased more than 1897 sincs

labor costs have increased
Slightly more than 2ooT.
