The be: assurance for this is in the ‘approved hospital, with its ethical, competent, medical staff, adequate facilities for | diagnosis’ and treatment, and compe- | tent supervision over all activities in the | best interests of the patient. “Eleven years ago only 89, or 12.9 per | 1in” which hospital standardization has I plaved a leading role, having for its ob- ject the right ecare of the workers and aids with an environmen: most conducive for the best scientific | results, “Believing that "adding years to your | life and life to your years' is the duty of every doctor of every hospital, the American Congress of Surgeons has adopted a plan through which = the progressive standardized hospital may participate In preventive as well as curative medicine.
