Abstract

A method of recording continuous gray-tone images on dry-process silver paper from raster-scan video signals is described. The Tektronix 4634 image-forming module uses a fiber-optic faceplate cathode-ray tube to couple the light output onto the recording paper. The latent image is heat developed and presented in sheet form. An initial comparison between dry silver paper and conventional film for video-generated computed tomography and nuclear medicine examinations, shows little apparent difference in image quality. Considerable cost savings are possible when using dry silver paper. Additional cost savings are possible if multiple images can be recorded on each dry silver sheet.

General practitioner fundholding: weighing the evidence.

A new development in the British National Health Service is fundholding, whereby certain general practitioners are given budgets from which they purchase services for patients. Our knowledge about fundholding is rudimentary. Many important questions remain unanswered. These include: the impact of fundholding on the efficiency of overall resource utilisation; its effect on strategic planning; its effect on equity; its impact on the role of the doctor and the doctor-patient relationship; and its consequences for practice organisation and the culture of primary care. Even the scant results we do have must be interpreted cautiously. Fundholding was introduced during a period of great turbulence for general practice. Its strategic function was uncertain and its impact has been confounded by the effects of a series of earlier and concurrent policy changes. Few reliable conclusions about fundholding, either positive or negative, can be drawn from existing research.
