The Role of the Modern Hospital
Abstract
As Director of the American Hospital Association, Dr. Crosby anticipates the influence of Medicare upon existing and future hospital facilities. Trends include closer interaction between government and the voluntary health system and a changing concept of financing, brought about by the purchase of health services by fewer and larger organized buyers. Areas are projected in which hospital utilization will rise abruptly, such as ambulatory care facilities and general hospital psychiatric units. To achieve the kind of program that will satisfy the evolving concept of community mental health, hospitals and physicians must work closely together.
