Orthotopic cardiac transplantation in a Veterans Administration hospital.

Of 57 patients referred to the McGuire Veterans Administration Medical Center, Richmond, Va, for evaluation for cardiac transplantation, 18 received allografts. The overall graft survival rate was 67% from two to 24 months after transplantation. In 15 recipients receiving immunosuppression with rabbit anti-human thymocyte globulin, prednisone, and azathioprine, previous transfusion and HLA-DR matching resulted in improved graft survival. In three patients receiving cyclosporin and prednisone, hypertension, nephrotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity were seen. All surviving recipients were in functional New York Heart Association class 1 or 2. The cost to the Medical Center was $23,275 per transplant.

Expanded eye care in the Veterans Administration hospital setting.

Over the past decade a greater number of optometrists can be found practicing in hospitals, health maintenance organizations, health clinics and other multipractitioner group settings.

History of ambulatory care facilities from a roving hospital administrator's point of view.

Over the past four decades, the delivery of health care services has seen dramatic changes. Medicare coverage in 1966 expanded the ability of the health care industry to treat a growing segment of the population. Technology improvements have made great strides in the treatment of disease. Public policy decisions expanded health care coverage from an employee benefit to entitlement for large segments of the population. Managed care growth has reorganized the basic health care delivery system. The aggregate effect of all these items was a dramatic increase in the cost of providing health care in the United States. Beginning in the late 1960s, and escalating in the 1970s and 1980s, the increase of the cost of care was the primary issue for the industry. Only in the 1990s has the rate of increase modified through the impact of managed care, and now there is significant competition for the health care dollar among many competing providers.

Ethics and hospital administration.

This article seeks to assist healthcare executives in focusing their thinking on the changing healthcare environment and on related ethical issues. An attempt is made to consider such major concerns as the allocation of resources, the development and use of technology, and the troublesome question of quantity versus quality of life. Also discussed are more specific and practical issues related to the workplace and how an individual executive might be affected by the problems of our time. Attention is directed to those personal choices that individuals must consider when making decisions associated with their professional activities. The conclusion suggests that after reviewing all the implications involved, a decision regarding what is right or wrong in a given situation ultimately rests with the individual administrator. Therefore, our personal background and philosophy on ethics is critical in determining our final decisions.
