(Project #03-H-000, 274-02. ARC Section 202-Health Demonstration and Maryland Regional Medical Program Funds) AB: A program of health education was instituted in 1974 in three counties of Appalachian Maryland, beginning in fifth grade and designed eventually to include sixth and seventh grades. The first phase was a workshop for approximately 165 teachers designed to take them through the same learning experiences that they would provide to their own students. Results of a questionnaire administered to the teachers at the end of the workshop are presented. At the beginning of the year, a 54-item test of knowledge about the lungs and respiratory system was administered to the fifth grade pupils; it was readministered at the end of the year. Mean scores for the group increased from 19 to 27. This gain was judged to be statistically significant. Parents of the children also replied to a questionnaire about their attitudes and opinions. The responses to this questionnaire are presented. In general, the questionnaires elicited very favorable responses. (CTM).

SO: Methods Inf Med 1969 Jul;8(3):120-7 AB: Routine transmission of electrocardiograms and their computer interpretation via long-distance telephone lines has been proven feasible in the automated electrocardiogram project of the Missouri Regional Medical Program. Though this pilot project, the first on a state-wide basis, is still viewed as an applied research effort rather than a service, such biotelemetry is rapidly gaining acceptance as a medium to bring modern medicine, through modern technology, to bothurban and remote rural areas. The computer executes all the wave measurements and calculations with incredible speed. It takes over a boring, repetitive part of the physician's work. However, it can only follow the instructions of the diagnostic program, compiled by expert cardiologists. MH: Analysis of information General Aspects Electrocardiograms Analysis by Computer Telephone Transmission of Electrocardiograms UI: 13 AU: Amlinger PR TI: Routine telemetry of electrocardiograms and computer analysis SO: IEEE Trans Aerosp Electron Syst 1969:682-3 AB: An automated computer network for analyzing electrocardiograms is operated by the Missouri Regional Medical Program. The system is based at the Medical Computer Center of Missouri University's Columbia Campus. Cardiac Data Acquisition Stations are located in physician's offices and hospitals as far away as 300 miles. Normal long-distance telephone lines are used for bidirectional communications. Different settings are chosen deliberately for this first pilot project. They range from a General Practitioner's office in a remote rural area to a University Medical Center. The system is a replica of that developed by the U.S. Public Health Service.

Salt Lake City: Intermountain Regional Medical Progam; 1973. 2 p AB: The primary objective of this project was to design a responsive environment using a computer-controlled organ for children to learn music principles. Three secondary objectives set in the development of this environment were to create the means for: 1) entering, storing, and replaying complex music; 2) viewing the time-space relationships inherent in music; 3) controlling and manipulating music. A computer-controlled electronic concert organ was programmed to enable a wide variety of musical composition manipulation from changing key to synthesizing musical parts. Line drawings on a graphics scope displayed music information that could be redrawn at will. Music manipulation was accomplished with keyboard, computer terminal, and lightpen buttons. Response from 13 children ages 4-12 and a few adults was very favorable--the graphics scope being especially successful for grasping correlation of parts of a score. The developmental basis of the system shows great potential for generating data to compare with data gathered from traditional teaching methods. (JH).

A core curriculum for continuing education in emergency care. Lincoln (NB): Nebraska Regional Medical Program; 1975. 83 p AB: Intended as a guide for developing emergency medical-care training, these six curriculum outlines have been used and adapted to the personnel development needs of both the rural community hospital and the large metropolitan hospital. The outlines are preceded by a discussion of the principles of learning by John George, who emphasizes the importance of the learner's direct involvement and participation at all levels of curriculum planning and implementation. Each outline then presents a broad objective for every subtopic, a summary outline of content for that part of the program, and a list of behavioral objectives to be completed. The first of six outlines covers general information on emergency medical services including studies in the organization and staffing of the emergency room, the communications, policies and protocol, and legal considerations. Outlines 2, 3, 4, and 5 cover emergency care for patients with respiratory problems, with cardiac problems, in trauma, and involved in other medical emergencies. Finally, the guide concludes with study outlines in the special categories of burn therapy, pediatric emergencies, obstetrical emergencies, and psychiatric emergencies. (BM).

New Brunswick (NJ): Rutgers, the State University, Bureau of Economic Research; 1968. 63 p AB: Each of nine proposals submitted to the New Jersey Regional Medical Program for funding are reviewed and methods for their evaluation are suggested. A brief, general discussion of the difficulties encountered in estimating costs and quantifying the benefits of the projects is followed by examinations of the individual projects. Benefit-cost analysis attempts to identify cost and benefit components of a given proposal and to compare them. This analysis necessitates measurement of all pertinent variables in terms of a common denominator, usually dollar units. Some of the individual proposals described include: programs designed to train registered nurses in intensive coronary care in courses arranged to embrace both teaching and clinical experience for trainees; an external cardiopulmonary resuscitation training program which would train a variety of medical and nonmedical personnel in two stages; a training program in the technique of coronary cineangiography for four cardiologists or cardiovascular surgeons; a service and research project to evaluate the status of 1,000 New Jersey patients with implanted pacemakers; and a program for establishing recognized tumor conference boards within New Jersey hospitals designed to improve patient care directly.

AIM-TWX was utilized as the initial source of references whenever possible, and its benefit as such was evaluated. A sample of requests showed AIM-TWX to have reduced the total work time per search; moreover, when it was used, AIM-TWX retrieved more than 70% of the articles selected to be sent. Physician response indicated that the service was both needed and appreciated. Further investigation by a similar information service is suggested.

A study of health manpower in Iowa. Des Moines: Iowa Regional Medical Program; 1970. 129 p AB: A comprehensive statement and presentation of data pertaining to fifteen Iowa health manpower occupations are made for units of State and Federal Government, health and professional organizations, health planners, and lay groups involved in health and other socioeconomic planning activities. The industrialization of Iowa with attendant decline in the importance of agriculture has led to population shifts to the cities, concentrating health services into larger, more economical units. Health professionals and support personnel are also becoming scarce in rural areas but their regional concentration, coupled with improvements in transportation and communication, make possible a wider spectrum of health care than could have been provided in the past. This suggests that policy decisions should be made on the basis of the total functioning of the health industry. (MS).

TI: Health care, health and illness behavior of American Indians in the state of Maine. Augusta (ME): Maine's Regional Medical Program Research and Evaluation Service; 1971. 214 p AB: This research monograph reports findings based on studies conducted by Maine's Regional Medical Program Research and Evaluation Service from interviews of 90 families in Indian communities. The report covers self-evaluation of health, patterns and sources of medical care, attitudes toward health care, perception of services, and survey results. The data shows that over three-fourths of the families have various health and medical problems which need immediate attention. These problems range from chronic medical conditions and dental care needs to inadequate physical and sanitary conditions. Medical problems are seen as being closely related to poverty, lack of services and previous illness. The multitude of health and health-related problems faced by American Indian families are further accentuated by the present health care system. Ill health of the poor is accentuated by high medical costs, inequitable distribution of health personnel and facilities and a loosely integrated system of health care delivery. A high percentage of the families are receptive to proposed services and facilities. (Author/WS).

Augusta (ME): Maine's Regional Medical Program Research and Evaluation Service; 1971. 223 p AB: This study on health care and health and illness of low income families is based on findings from interviews with 301 low-income families in the state of Maine. The findings show that a majority of the families have various health or medical problems which need immediate attention. These problems range from dental care and chronic medical conditions to inadequate physical and sanitary conditions. These families lack access to medical services and facilities and show a low utilization of existing services. Many of the families use folk-medicines and remedies for health care. Lack of financial resources is the primary reason reported for lack of accessibility to a doctor. A direct relationship was found between socio-economic status and health and illness behavior patterns. A very high proportion of the families appear to be receptive to proposed services and facilities such as health screening programs and community health centers or clinics. (Author/WS).

TI: South Dakota statewide core curriculum, career ladder, and challenge system. A case history. Vermillion (SD): South Dakota University, State-wide Educational Services; 1974. 80 p AB: Additional support was provided by the South Dakota Regional Medical Program and the South Dakota State Department of Health. The South Dakota Core Curriculum Project involving the career ladder approach to health manpower training, which began in 1970, had seven objectives including the following: (1) To organize a Health Manpower Council for the entire State; (2) to define the areas of basic commonality among the various training programs; and (3) to develop a core curriculum for health manpower training on a statewide basis. Over a 3-year period, the Health Manpower Council (70 representatives from educational, health-care, and related institutions), through the work of its eight subcommittees and three council workshops, developed a core curriculum. This curriculum allows a student ultimately to possess a foundation of knowledge and skills on which to build occupational mobility and permit an upward academic pursuit. (The appendix, comprising three-fourths of this report, contains the curriculum's topical content outline and 785 measurable behavioral objectives. The content is in two segments: (1) Primary level--that collection of fundamental tasks, skills, knowledge, and attitudes common to all health manpower training/education curricula--which includes three units: Health Care Delivery System, Introduction to Health Science, and Emergency Medical Care; and (2) secondary level--that collection which is common to more than one type of curricula--which includes six areas: Anatomy and physiology, chemistry, interpersonal relationships, microbiology, nutrition, and public health and health-care delivery. ) (EM).

The Chicago Student Health Project was devised, organized, and directed by members of the Student Health Organization. The format of this report is as follows: an introduction concerning the implications of the project for students; a background note discussing the implications of the summer's work for the Regional Medical Program; then an overview of some of the problems faced by the project is presented, dealing in depth with the black/white confrontation. The body of the report consists of two sections, the first composed of reports on the community sites where the students worked and the second an analysis of the work performed at a number of hospital sites. The final section presents a brief analysis of some selected characteristics of the participating students. (Author/PG).

New Haven (CT): The Program; 1972-1976 AB: These volumes of weekly Newsletters discusses significant developments in health care delivery in Connecticut from the spring of 1970 to the fall of 1972. The first issue of the Newsletter had the purpose of reporting on matters of concern to the health and welfare of the people of Connecticut, with special emphasis on those activities of the Connecticut Regional Medical Program (CRMP). The 91 issues contained in the volume present subject material of two types: the administrative functioning of CRMP and its parent organization, the Regional Medical Programs Service; and program activities throughout Connecticut which have been stimulated and / or supported by CRMP. The program activities represent the fulfillment of the program goals of CRMP, which emerged from the work of nine Statewide task forces examining the health care system of Connecticut and making a series of recommendations. Each local or regional demonstration discussed in the Newsletters has been developed to fulfill one or more of CRMP's program goals. An index is presented as an aid for identifying two or more letters discussing the development of a given program activity. Portions of this document are not fully legible.

The plan also includes an analysis of inventories of current or potential activities or providers of consumer health; mortality and morbidity data for the Orange County planning region; documentation of existing planning and coordination efforts; discussion of coordinated activities promoting innovation and creative approaches, barriers to current health care and health education utilization, and the need for a comprehensive consumer health education dissemination system. The need and possible methods to insure participation from consumers who represent consumer/community-based interests are also addressed. It is recommended that a single agency be designated to plan, coordinate, and implement a comprehensive consumer health education system with appropriate level of funding to discharge responsibilities.

AB: The objectives of a hospital are to improve patient care, while the objectives of a hospital library are to improve services to the staff which will support their efforts. This handbook dealing with hospital administration is designed to aid the librarian in either implementing a hospital library, or improving services in an existing medical library. The librarian's tasks are identified and discussed under two major categories: (1) planning, which involves organizing, financing, and budgeting for library services; and (2) control, which includes the development of annual reports, policies and procedures, and coordination and leadership. A glossary of library terms, a checklist of patient care standards, and hospital library standards are appended. (AP).

While hospitals of all sizes are discussed, a special effort is made to cover problems of small hospitals (17 to 100 beds) in sparsely-settled regions. Contents: The library as a clinical service, Standards and accreditation (including reprints of standards of the JOINT Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and of the Connecticut RMP Library Services); Balanced investment and level of service output; Audiovisual services; Regional (and national) affiliations for library service; Gifts; 24-Hour access; Centralized libraries and/or station collections; Multipurpose learning facilities; Library services to patients. Quotes from leaders in hospital library development are included, as well as references to the literature. Appendix gives addresses of resource libraries, Regional Medical Libraries, and national organizations; and a reprint of the evaluation questionnaire for libraries used by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. However, emphasis of the text is on cost-benefit factors rather than on the specifics of qualifying for accreditation. (Author).

Salt Lake City: Intermountain Regional Medical Program; 1972. 63 p. (Hospital library handbooks, no. 3) AB: Regardless of the size of the hospital, the librarian must acquire information for staff members by whatever means possible. Large hospitals with large staff, more information requests per week, and a better economic base will purchase a greater number of information materials. Small hospitals will purchase only the most basic reference books and bibliographies, and will depend on interlibrary loans to supply specific items for one-time use by individuals. Whether the librarian is purchasing or borrowing, she will need to know what types of materials are available (indexes, abstracts, texts, journals, reference books, etc. ) and what kind of knowledge each type of material will provide. A loan request sent to another library includes the same descriptive data as a purchase order sent to a publisher or to a book agent. This handbook is mainly concerned with instruction for selecting and purchasing library materials. However, effective service through interlibrary loans requires just as much knowledge of basic bibliography: the world of books and journals and other information media.

Goals of the programs are the improvement of health care of patients suffering from heart disease, cancer, stroke and related diseases and improvement in the practice of health professionals. The first step in evaluation is the development of objectives--both immediate and long range. The second phase is the selection or design of measuring instruments or the design of other procedures to collect data that will lead to evidence for evaluation. Next comes the collection of data--from the health professional as a participant in a learning experience and as practitioner, and also from society. The fourth phase is analysis of the data; then judgment is made of how well objectives have been met. (A checklist is included; an appendix gives examples of decisions and modification. ) (PT).

Operational objectives were to: (1) develop a central organization and management unit that will plan and give direction to the project as well as organize, coordinate, and evaluate the project activities; (2) develop a modular curriculum of 80 hours on trauma nursing; (3) plan and implement activities for a minimum of three trauma nursing programs in the three counties, to enroll at least 45 nurses; (4) develop testing and evaluation tools for the curriculum and the overall program; and (5) conduct an ongoing evaluation of the program. An extensive progress report is provided. A bibliography is included. (MSE).

TI: The health information service of the Illinois Regional Medical Program: manpower and mandate. Chicago: Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago; 1978. 22 p AB: Early in 1977, the Regional Medical Programs, established in 1965, ceased to function, after ups and down of agency prognosis for a period of more than four years, and several threatened cuttings off of funding from HEW. Among these agencies was the Illinois Regional Medical Program, serving the entire state. Although not unique to the IRMP, among RMP's across the country, that agency was unusual in performing, both through core staff and funding programs, many activities in the sphere of health information. This paper attempts to trace some of the more salient aspects of the Health Information activities of IRMP, with a view toward development of inputs to the modelling processes relating to health data management and dissemination among health planners extant today. The Health Systems Agencies, established in 1975, have replaced the functions of the RMP's, the Comprehensive Health Planning Agencies and the Hill-Burton Agencies. In addition other organizations have been developed and have evolved which may utilize the experiences of IRMP to benefit health planning within the areas for which they are responsible. Programs of IRMP included published and unpublished materials, from monographs to working papers, and involved levels of sophistication from complex geographic analyses to simple tabular compilations to be used by local health planning groups at all levels.

[place unknown]: Mountain States Regional Medical Program; 1975. 28 p AB: Members of the Veterans Administration (VA) Center, Ft. Harrison, Montana, and the Mountain States Regional Medical Program met with members of the Helena Indian Alliance and the Montana United Indian Association to discuss total services available to all veterans and their beneficiaries. Indian and VA officials promoted the two-way exchange of ideas on the dynamics of Indian culture on health care. The topics of five panel discussions were: "The Indian Stereotype and How it Affects Health Care", "V. A. Hospital and G.I. Benefits", "Special Needs of the Urban Indian (Landless, Off-reservation and Federally Recognized)", "Special Needs of the Reservation Indian", and "What Indian Health Service Offers and Coordination With Other Health Services". Veterans Administration officials explained the requirements and procedures for taking advantage of all the services available to Indians. Among the specific suggestions and recommendations for improving services were sending pamphlets to Tribal Councils for distribution, having an Indian veteran on each reservation to work with veterans in identifying problems and answers, and encouraging Indian veterans to duplicate their discharge papers at the county court house. Further suggestions and recommendations, as well as the minutes of planning sessions that culminated in the workshop, are included. Veterans Administration Center, Fort Harrison, MT contributed to the Workshop.

Baltimore, MD: Maryland Regional Medical Program; 1975. 69 p AB: The development of regionalized health care in Maryland from 1966 through 1975 is traced, and program activities are reviewed. A brief historical background is offered, and organizational structure, early planning and development, program planning objectives, and program development for initial operations are described. Program activities are reviewed for 1969-71; these were centered around core units at the Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland, and State Health Department, in addition to the central core unit responsible for initiating proposals, developing cooperative arrangements among private health care providers, establishing policy guidelines, and providing staff assistance to local projects. Early categorical program activities included a program of stroke care at York General Hospital; a coronary care / closed chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation program; a continuing education program at Peninsula General Hospital; mass detection of heart disease in school children by phono-cardioscan; and a cancer control program. After 1970 amendments to P.L. 91-515, a change of mission was undertaken. The Maryland Regional Medical Program was organized into four divisions: central administration, health manpower development, health care delivery, and data collection and evaluation. Some demonstration programs and 'mini-projects' characterizing the regional program's influence on health care in Maryland are described. Plans for transition from the regional format to a program of new health system agencies throughout the State are described. A bibliography of the regional program's publications is included.

The region consists of one transplant center in Arkansas, two in Oklahoma, and six in Texas. The computer used is the DECSYSTEM-10 located in the Medical Computing Resources Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas. RENTRAN participants have remotely located standard interactive computer terminals and gain access to the computer by dialing over normal telephone lines. Functions provided by RENTRAN include obtaining instructions, performing a doneor-recipient match, obtaining a list of potential recipients, making a user comment or adding, updating or deleting a patient record. Either long or short dialog forms are available for inexperienced and experienced users respectively. In the time sinceAugust 1, 1973, when the system went into production, there have been in excess of 100 matches attempted and approximately 50 kidheys have been transplanted according to RENTRAN results. There are about 350 recipients currently on the data base. The system was developed with funds provided by the Texas Regional Medical Program amd operational expenses and enhancements are provided through a $25 per year potential-recipient patient charge for being listed on the data base.

Rockville (MD): Regional Medical Programs Service; 1973 Jun 4. 80 p. Report No.: HRP-001468 5/2 AB: Eight regional medical program (RMP) projects were analyzed during 1972 and 1973 for their impact on model cities neighborhoods. The eight projects represented $1 million of expenditures and were located in Washington, D.C.; Kansas City, Kansas; Salt Lake City, Utah; Detroit, Michigan; Kansas City, Missouri; St. Louis, Missouri; Tampa, Florida; and Tuskegee, Alabama. Background information was obtained on the regional medical program and model cities earmarking process. The eight projects were analyzed in terms of planning and development, implementation and administration, and results and impact. The initial concept of RMP was to provide for the rapid transfer of scientific knowledge to the providers of health services. One major change to RMP involved an expansion to increase the availability, enhance the quality, and contain the rising costs of medical care. Another significant change was a decentralization in decisionmaking authority from national to regional program staffs. The RMP, along with other DHEW categorical programs, was instructed to designate a portion of its resources for model cities neighborhoods. Judging the eight projects on the basis of establishing continuing health services, it was determined that the RMP earmarking process was a failure in producing substantive impact on model cities neighborhoods. No coordination with other federally funded or funding agencies was observed. Local agencies or governments were not required to provide matching funds or build into their budgets enough funds to support project operation. The eight projects are ranked in terms of their degree of success. Appendixes contain brief descriptions of the projects and an example of one completed project report.

A study of the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Nurse Aide (NA), and Homemaker-Home Health Aide (H-HHA) occupations was conducted during 1972-73 in Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Questionnaires were administered to 600 LPNs, NAs, and H-HHAs in 30 health facilities who rated the frequency and importance of 346 tasks. Usable questionnaires numbered 492. A representative sample of employers also rated the tasks for each job title. The data revealed considerable task overlap between job titles and between patient care settings, and much agreement between job titles concerning the frequency and importance of task performance. On this basis, the study constructed an outline for an experience based core curriculum containing four modular units of instruction and organized to provide exit points for various job titles leading up to the LPN level. The study also developed a model for community-wide involvement in aide education and utilization to maximize the career mobility and effective use of aides. Appendixes comprising 125 pages provide: a brief glossary; an inventory of hospitals, nursing homes, and providers of home health care in the Metropolitan Washington area; the employer and employee task inventory questionnaires; data cross-tabulations by patient-care setting, shift, education, and years of experience; and a bibliography.

The primary objective of TIES is to deliver quality educational and informational programs to hospital employees at the most critical point, their job site. Initial efforts in the development of TIES involved surveying member hospitals of the Texas Hospital Association to identifycontinuing education needs, evaluate educational programming, field test a telephone conference system, and implement a financially self-substaining telephone information and education system. Through the grant for the implementation of TIES, administered by the Texas Hospital Association and funded by the Regional Medical Program of Texas, a model was devised for use in the implementation of the statewide telephone conferencing network. The Tesas Hospital Association is to administer TIES and serve as the central focal point for coordination and operation of the system and will match identified continuing education requirements and information needs of participating institutions to educational and informational resources. Recommendations are offered to facilitate the successful implementation of TIES. An appendix contains exhibits relating to the development and implementation of the system includeing guidelines, questionnaires, a lecturer's information booklet, and a manual for system management by objectives.

[place, publisher unknown]; 1971. 59 p AB: An evaluation summary of a conference designed to identify and reduce the barriers to health planning is presented. A survey of 74 regional medical programs and comprehensive health planning agencies revealed eight impediments to effective health program planning: (1) ineffective goal and purpose setting; (2) a pattern of crisis intervention rather than preventive or long-range planning; (3) ineffective or insufficient community involvement; (4) unsatisfactory evaluation methods; (5) poor measurement of health status and health care; (6) the lack of interagency coordination; (7) the lack of quantifiable data available on health resources and needs; and (8) a reluctance to change since vested interests stand to lose by it. Eighteen agencies were represented at the conference and studied six techniques which would hopefully reduce the barriers to planning. Of the agencies using the techniques, 100 percent reported implementing the nominal group process, the program planning process, and the conflict resolution successfully; 83 percent using the matrix organization reported success; the delphi technique was successful for 73 percent; and the evaluation technique was reported successful by 50 percent of the staffs attempting to apply it. It is considered that the conference objectives were met to the extent that barriers were reduced. The survey questionnaires are appended, and tabular data and illustrations are provided.

SO: Chapel Hill (NC): University of North Carolina; 217 p AB: A case study of the uses of information in the North Carolina Regional Medical Program (NCRMP), Durham, is reported. The study objectives included: 1) Determining the adequacy of available information in meeting health planning objectives; 2) Determining the capacity of a health planning agency to utilize and adapt available information in fulfilling planning requirements; 3) Identifying approaches by which the utility of planning information can be enhanced; and 4) Identifying methods useful in developing planning information. Three major phases of the study included: 1) An extensive literature review which examined theuse of information in planning, methods of studying information use, and methods by which planning information can be developed; 2) A review of both NCRMP's administrative organization and its planning and decision making; and 3) An analysis of information use in the NCRMP by examination of certain historical events and through assessment of personnel regarding their perceived participation in planning and their use of information during such planning. A conceptual framework of the use of information in halth planning, developed to aid the analysis ofthis latter phase, is discussed.

Camp Hill (PA): Susquehanna Valley Regional Medical Program; 1973 Mar. 56 p. Report No.: HRP-0013721/6 AB: Information support system project activities of the Susquehanna Valley Regional Medical Program in Pennsylvania are reported. The information support system (ISS), developed to assist regional medical programs (RMP's) in their program planning and review activities, is based on a conceptual view of the RMP as a facilitator of change. It is a short-term evaluative technique and encompasses three major premises: (1) change should occur where problems exist in the health care system; (2) change should involve problems with which providers and the public have a mutual concern; and (3) RMP's are most likely to be successful in facilitating change in those situations where actual health care needs coincide with needs for change. Respondents who evaluated the ISS in the Susquehanna Valley Regional Medical Program identified nine health care problems or issues: physician shortage and maldistribution, inadequate third-part payment mechanisms, need for primary care services, need for consumer education, need for coordinated planning of facilities and services, criticisms of comprehensive health planning, shortage of nursing homes and poor quality of care, problems related to paramedical personnel, and need for an emergency medical services system. The Susquehanna Valley Regional Medical Program is detailed in terms of program activities developed to meet health care problems and issues.

The ISS approach to evaluation is problem-oriented and makes use of document analysis and interviews with influential health care leaders and with RMP staff members. Nine major health care problems in the Nassau and Suffolk Counties RMP in New York are examined: (1) the lack of coordination in the planning and delivery of health care; (2) the high cost of health care; (3) the need for primary care facilities and services; (4) inadequate quality of care; (5) inadequate transportation to health services; (6) the shortage and maldistribution of primary care physicians; (7) the shortage and poor quality of care in nursing homes; (8) the need for consumer education; and (9) the need for specific health services. The general findings of studies of eight RMPs are presented and relate to the identification of problems, the degree of problem orientation, and the apparent degree of effectiveness of local RMPs. It is noted that the suggestions for program development are not included due to the 'projected phaseout' of RMPs. Supporting graphical and tabular are provided.

Rockville (MD): Health Services and Mental Health Administration; 1973. 68 p. Report No.: HRP-0013694/5 AB: Information Support System (ISS) activities in the Indiana Regional Medical Program (IRMP) are reported. ISS is a short-term problem-oriented program evaluation technique designed to assist regional medical programs (RMPs) in their program planning and review. This technique is based on a conceptual model of the RMP as a facilitator of change and attempts to help RMPs decide which changes should be fostered. The assessment indicates: (1) a significant contribution to the improvement of the distribution and utilization of physicians and to the development of paramedical personnel; (2) a limited response to the need for consumer education; (3) little involvement in the resolution of transportation problems; (4) a substantial contribution to improved coordination of health planning; (5) strong support of paramedical personnel in the Family Nurse Practitioner program, but an apparent need to address licensure and certification problems; (6) no program activity in the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse; (7) substantial improvement of communication and coordination among health care agencies; (8) no involvement in the development of more effective third-party payment mechanisms; (9) an outstanding effort toward a coordinated emergency medical system; (10) the development of home care services in Indianapolis, but no need for similar efforts in rural Indiana; (11) little activity to rectify the shortage of nursing and allied health personnel; and (12) no direct involvement with CHP (comprehensive health planning) problems.

Nashville: Tennessee Mid-South Regional Medical Program; 1973. 68 p. Report No.: PC A04/MF A01 AB: A summary of the Tennessee Mid-South Regional Medical Program information support system is presented. This short-term program evaluation technique is based on a conceptual model of the regional medical program as a facilitator of change and attempts to help such programs decide what kinds of change they should foster. The information support system approach to this decisionmaking and evaluative process is problem-oriented and incorporates the opinions of leaders within the regional health care system. This approach is generated by three premises: (1) changes should occur where problems exist in the health care system; (2) changes should occur around problems with which providers and the public have a manifest concern; and (3) regional medical programs are most likely to be successful in facilitating changes when real health care needs coincide with needs for changes. Using this conceptual model, the information support system assesses the effectiveness of a regional medical program in terms of the extent to which its program is designed to promote regional cooperative efforts to solve those problems of major concern to leaders within the health care delivery system. Seven major health care problems in the region are identified: lack of coordination within the health care system, inadequate access to care, hospital problems, manpower shortage and maldistribution, lack of health care for indigents, need for consumer education, and inadequacy of emergency services.

Information Support System (Boston, MA) TI: Problem-oriented assessment of the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program. 1973 Mar. Rockville (MD): Health Services and Mental Health Administration; 1973 69 p AB: Information Support System (ISS) project activities in the Lakes Area Regional Medical Program (LARMP) in western New York are reported. ISS is a short-term program evaluation technique designed to assist regional medical programs (RMPs) in their program planning and review. RMPs are most likely to succeed in facilitating change in situations where real health care needs coincide with needs for change as perceived by and wanted by leaders of influence within the health care system. The procedures of ISS evaluation comprise document analysis and interviews with health care leaders and the RMP staff members. The evaluation summary reveals: (1) a need in the Lakes area for better communication among health care providers and the promotion of that communication by LARMP's workshops and liaison activities; (2) no endeavors in health care cost control, insurance, or prepayment mechanisms; (3) a weak response to the urban ambulatory care crisis, but excellent program development in rural areas; (4) no visible involvement in alleviating the shortage of nursing homes, extended care facilities, and alternative housing for the elderly; (5) a concern with increasing the supply of health professionals, but a need to address the issue of the licensure of physician's assistants; and (6) criticisms resulting from the lack of communication and joint planning. It is concluded that the LARMP needs to strengthen its involvement with provider agencies and institutions.

Birmingham: Alabama Regional Medical Program; 1970 Jun 15. 100 p AB: Results of a survey of 11 institutions providing megavoltage radiation therapy services in Alabama are presented which indicate that a regional radiation therapy support and communications system would be useful, accepted and feasible. The suggested system would provide two services: assistance with treatment planning through computerized dosimetry, and a service to conduct routine calibration and checking of radiotherapy equipment. The system would provide dosimetry accuracy of plus or minus 3 percent and would be designed for future extension to other specialities in cancer (surgery, medical oncology) as well as to other categorical ailments such as heart, kidney, and stroke. Analysis of such a system shows it would be self-supporting in approximately three years. Recommendations are made for the proposed organization and staffing of the system, and components including software of such a dosimetry network. An estimate of start up and operational costs is presented in tabular format. The provision of suitable funding for Task II of the project is discussed; Task II would include the development of a systems analysis report furnishing operational details and design criteria necessary for the development and implementation of the system. Information on the role of accurate dosimetry in the rationale of radiation therapy, survey results, and samples of available equipment for use in the network, plus computerized dosimetry programs for regional networks is included in four appendices.

Ray TI: Feasibility study of the establishment of a coordinated home health program to serve a seven county area. Vicksburg (MS): Mercy Regional Medical Center; 1975. 63 p AB: Also sponsored by the Mississippi Regional Medical Program. The feasibility of establishing a coordinated, hospital-based home health care agency in a seven-county area of west central Mississippi is explored. Data on the Vicksburg area's population and resources were gathered and analyzed; surveys were conducted to assess the attitudes of local physicians and other providers; and the services, utilization, personnel, and problems of existing home care programs in the area were assessed. Findings are presented on the demographic characteristics of the area, personnel resources, attitudes of providers, home health resources, legal requirements, and financial considerations. It is concluded that three of the counties would not benefit significantly from the proposed agency, two would benefit only through the addition of physical therapy services to existing home health programs, and two would derive significant benefits from the agency. Supplies of nursing and other personnel required for the agency are judged to be adequate. Favorable attitudes expressed by public health officials suggest that the agency will be able to obtain a certificate of need. The hiring of a resourceful nurse supervisor who will be able to build upon the basic interest expressed by physicians is strongly recommended. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement systems are found to be adequate mechanisms for removing financial barriers to participation in the program. The area's regional medical center demonstrates sufficient resources and interest to support the hospital-based agency. Tabular data are included.

Final report. Columbus (NB): Platte Technical Community College; 1974. 105 p AB: Also sponsored by the Nebraska Regional Medical Program. This study sought to determine the extent of existing in-service education programs in health care available in northeast central Nebraska and to determine if there was a need for a Community Health Education Consortium (CHEC). Two questionnaires were developed for the study and were mailed to hospitals and nursing homes in a 22 county area; 86% (22) of the hospitals and 60% (28) of the nursing homes surveyed responded. Information was gathered on hospital/nursing home facilities, patient flow, backgrounds and responsibilities of administrators and nursing directors, numbers of specified professional and non-professional personnel, current in-service education activities, and in-service education needs. It was concluded that there was a substantial need for a CHEC that would organize and strengthen available educational offerings. Although hospital and nursing home expansion were projected to be minimal in the future, licensing requirements, retirements, promotions, and turnover were anticipated to result in continuing demand for relevant educational programming in the health care area. Survey instruments and related feasibility study materials are appended. (Author/JDS).

Salt Lake City: Utah Migrant Council; 1973. 24 p. AB: Project developed by Health Specialist Training Program of the Utah Migrant Council. Also sponsored by the Intermountain Regional Medical Program. The project involved 14 trainees who were employed by the Utah Migrant Council prior to their training with 8 trainers. Pre-determined by the basic job descriptions for the Health Specialist, the objectives dealt with two basic factors: trainee knowledge and trainee skills in performing specific tasks. Areas covered by the objectives were infection; the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems; nutrition; ear; pregnancy; labor and delivery; post partum; teeth; child development; illness in children; migrant environment; and health education. Classroom instruction, review sessions, consultant presentations, individual and small group instruction, role playing, case studies, and hands-on personal practice by the trainees were used in the training. Daily evaluations were conducted to provide the trainers constant feedback on a daily basis to determine how the trainees were progressing. Mid-point and final evaluations were conducted to determine the knowledge and skill levels of the trainees. Daily information was obtained through review sessions, laboratory observations and quizzes, individualized oral reviews and quizzes, daily reports from the trainees and trainers, attendance reports, and trainer de-briefing sessions. Mid-point and final evaluations were obtained via written examinations, oral questions, laboratory applications, and group problem solving. Overall, both the trainees and the trainers felt the project had been successful. (NQ).

Both the RLMP and the Regional Medical Program are based on regional cooperation to enhance the value of available resources, and to enable health workers away from main centers to use them. Services which Regional Medical Libraries must supply are described. As this program develops, more than conventional library service will be provided. Regional Medical Programs stress the continuing education of health-related personnel, and their need for health information; libraries are necessarily involved in such programs. The regions of the RMP are smaller than those of the RMLP, and the smaller regional focus may be an advantage. Specific examples of the coordination of library services and the library-oriented programs are given.

Lexington (KY): Kentucky University, College of Medicine; 1977. 32 p AB: Also sponsored by the Ohio Valley Regional Medical Program, Lexington, Kentucky. In early 1972, a survey was taken of the continuing education attitudes, practices, and related needs of Kentucky physicians. A representative sample of 305 Kentucky Medical Association (KMA) members was interviewed by telephone, with 86 percent giving complete responses. A profile of KMA physicians was developed. It was ascertained that there is much involvement in continuing education, although 78 percent of the respondents found themselves unable to participate in formal continuing education as much as desired. There is a strong preference for medical-center-based programs (for clinical programs as opposed to medical care delivery programs) and for self-assessment endeavors. A suprisingly high percentage favor continuing education as a prerequisite to continued membership on hospital staff or in KMA, to specialty recertification, or even to relicensure. A great majority believe that physicians should bear the costs of their continuing education. (Author/MSE).

Papers and reports. SO: Detroit (MI): Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan Regional Medical Library; 1972 Jan. Report No.: 11. 13 p AB: A survey of 105 Kentucky and Indiana Hospitals was made to determine the extent and quality of library service available under the auspices of the Ohio Valley Regional Medical Program. Summary date on the 60hospitals with libraries are reported here with the objective of examining the capability of these institutions as a group to participatein the formation of a biomedical communications network as proposed by the National Library of Medicine. Although the data from an academic librarian's viewpoint indicate that few hospitals have a dependable library service, the more optimistic view is that a base-line has been established from which to make assessments in the future for improved hospital health science libraries. From the data presented many obvious technical improvements could be suggested; however, the more important conclusion to be reached from this survey is the need for establishing some value system on which to base priorities and to establish goals for improvement.

Regional Medical Program and a report of fiscal Year 1972 - 1973 activities SO: J S C Med Assoc 1973 Apr:117-40 AB: The value of South Carolina's regional medical program (RMP) is assessed by the South Carolina RMP coordinator who asserts that remedial action is needed in three areas to make the RMP more effective: (1) financial assistance where needed by individuals or families to procure services rather than to provide services by governmental agencies; (2) financial assistance to States through priority guidelines for centralized resources; and (3) performance deficiencies in categorically directed programs. The Federal role in the delivery of health services is reviewed. Objectives and programs of RMP's throughout the United States are outlined. Consideration is given to the concept of quality equity versus equality of low quality, the achievement of equity and quality at the local level, the need for technical assistance at the local level for planning and evaluation, the cooperation of RMP's with a variety of government agencies, and RMP's as a prototype for the decentralization of health programs. The accomplishments of RMP's throughout the United States are examined, and supporting tabular data are provided. The regionalization plan in South Carolina is cited as an example of how principles incorporated in the allied services concept can be applied through an RMP mechanism at the State level. Activities and projects of South Carolina's RMP are detailed. Financial information is presented on five major activity areas of the RMP in South Carolina: manpower, accessibility and availability of health care, regionalization of special services, quality of medical care assurance, and administrative costs.

With regard to health manpower and other service deficits, it is apparent that distribution problems are of considerable magnitude. Despite the fact that the Medical University of South Carolina is expanding its classes in the several colleges, a considerable time lag will occur and additional ways must be developed to deal with professional manpower shortages. In order for an effective regional or statewide program to be developed, and in consideration of other program activities now being developed or supported by Federal appropriations, an overall coordinating body for the entire State should be developed to which the RMP can effectively relate. A program plan is presented which would facilitate the availability of health services to rural areas through regionalization of effort, health education for the public, and continuing education for, and upgrading of, various health personnel.

The objective of RMP's and CHP agencies is to establish a framework of planning, with both private and public support, for coordinated and comprehensive health service at the local and State levels. Formula and project grants for assisting State planning councils and individual facilities within States are available through provisions of RMP and CHP legislation. It is noted that the American Medical Association has published a guide for physician participation in areawide health facility planning. Bylaws of the South Carolina RMP are outlined as they reflect the principle of district planning and representation. Duties of local district committees under the South Carolina RMP are delineated, and the structure of RMP districts is illustrated. Provisions of Circular A-95 are described as they apply to CHP agencies. Consideration is given to the coordination of planning in multijurisdictional areas and to grant-in-aid information. Bylaws of the South Carolina RMP are included, and members of the RMP's regional advisory group are listed. Projects funded by the South Carolina RMP and CHP agencies are described. The projects are concerned with heart disease, cancer, strokes, chronic hemodialysis, continuing education, and informational activities.

Boise (ID): Mountain States Regional Medical Program; 1973. 23 p. AB: The effects of a regional approach to continuing nursing education in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming are described. The regional program utilizes the existing baccalaureate schools of nursing in each State. In addition, the program provides educational programs in coronary care, inhalation therapy, stroke rehabilitation, and cancer nursing. Frequently, these programs are co-sponsored with voluntary health agencies. Interstate and interregional activities helped to promulgate the expanded nursing role and ultimately the New Manpower Project, which was directed toward encouragement of family nurse practitioner - physician teams. Current continuing education programs deal with topics such as nursing care audit, quality of care mechanisms, and patient care appraisal. A detailed report of continuing nursing education activities within each State, including tables showing the number of participants in each program described, is presented.

Lincoln (NB): Nebraska-South Dakota Regional Medical Program; 1972. 28 p AB: A Community Health Education Consortium (CHEC) concept is proposed by the Regional Medical Programs Service (RMPS) to meet the educational needs of health care personnel residing in a state like Nebraska, in which geographic barriers hinder easy travel. Disadvantages of time and place are minimized by a CHEC, which serves as a local resource agency for the design, development, implementation and evaluation of education and training programs for health manpower residing within the area. Goals and objectives of a CHEC are enumerated. A potential CHEC program is proposed which involves establishment of a local programming office for planning, documentation of needs and phase-in planning. Responsibilities of staff and advisory committees are suggested, as is a planning calendar of activities for the period 1972-1975. The relationship of the CHEC concept to existing programming agencies and programs is explored. Procedures for evaluating the proposed plan are structured according to the phase of activity to be evaluated. The planning, development and implementation efforts of CHEC an the results of its individual programs will be analyzed according to their respective objectives. The value of CHEC for the Nebraska RMP lies in its identification of local health care education needs and its opportunity to develop a comprehensive continuing education program at the local level.

Nursing Dial Access, a taped library available by telephone to professional nurses in Wisconsin, was developed by the Department of Nursing Health Sciences Unit, University Extension, at the University of Wisconsin, under a grant from the Wisconsin Regional Medical Program. The program, available on an around-the-clock basis, provides short tapes on a variety of nursing and medical subjects and may be used from any telephone, free of charge to Wisconsin callers. The library presents core information in the categories: nursing care emergency situations; new procedures and equipment; recent developments in nursing; and legal aspects in nursing. Nursing Dial Access averages 1,000 calls a month. A survey of the users indicated that: the program has been found to be an appropriate way to provide certain types of information; nurses have accepted this information retrieval system; and the program has been successful in meeting its purpose--to assist nurses outside the metropolitan areas of the state. (Appendixes include a bibliography of tapes, guidelines for developing dial access libraries, and lists of tapes available to states other than Wisconsin. (PT).

Annual symposium on Biomathematics and Computer Sciences in the Life Sciences; 1968 Mar 14-16; Houston, TX. SO: Houston: University of Texas, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences; [date unknown]. p. 111 AB: Increasing emphasis within the medical profession on the need for current awareness has prompted the development of computer-basedbiomedical information systems. The Fact Bank Project of the MissouriRegional Medical Program is an effort to provide rapid access to biomedical medical information from remote terminals. This paper describes and discusses the conceptual and structural aspects of onecomponent of the Fact Bank which serves as a document management tool, and information and/or document retrieval system, and an information network interacting program. This component, MEDIAN, serves as acomputer-based link between expanded CONSIDER, an interactive computer program being developed within the University of Missouri Medical School's Computer Medicine Program, and other components of the Fact Bank such as microform resources and devices, reprographic facilities and audio tapes. The power of MEDIAN is in its programmed ability tomobilize numerous document management tasks, to interface with available computer programs such as expanded CONSIDER, PATRICIA, DYSTAL, PIRS and others, and to provide linkage between the user environment and biomedical information resources of MEDLARS, NASA and other national information centers. The implementation, hardware/software characteristics and the operational approach using modular program components are summarized.

In exploring the applicability of the physician's assistant program to the metropolitan Washington areas the existing need is discussed in terms of a health care crisis. Statistical tables provide data on various mortality rates of the District of Columbia and other cities, physician distribution, and projection of paramedical personnel needs in Washington area hospitals. Other topics discussed regarding the program in the Washington area include the tasks of the physician's assistant, recruits, education and training, patient acceptance, and legal aspects. Recommendations and conclusions are drawn. The appendix presents a summary of the data received from the responding physicians' assistant program. A 44-item list of references in included. (SC).

New Haven: South Central Connecticut Comprehensive Health Planning, Inc.; 1974. 19 p. AB: A 1974 proposal submitted to the Connecticut Regional Medical Program (CRMP) by a consortium of five federally funded and operating 314(b) agencies in the State is presented. The proposal involves CRMP funding of services to permit the 314(b) agencies, CRMP, and the Connecticut Commission on Hospitals and Health Care (CHHC) to cooperate in preparation for an expected transition to a more consolidated type of health resource planning agency. The proposal's importance is considered to involve its plans for close collaboration with CRMP and CHHC so that comprehensive health planning's unique consumer orientation and local government participation will be made available and thus permit statewide decisions to be made with full consideration of input from people affected by those decisions. The five 314(b) comprehensive health planning agencies involved in the proposal are the Capitol - Central Connecticut Health Planning Council, the Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Eastern Fairfield County, the Health and Mental Health Planning Council of the Central Naugatuck Valley, the Midstate Connecticut River Estuary Comprehensive Health Planning Council Inc., and the South Central Connecticut Comprehensive Health Planning Inc. A general outline of the proposal discusses the need for a comprehensive health care planning program, prior planning and program activity, the plan of action and program strategy, plans for promoting organized arrangements, potential contributions for guiding State health policy developments, a plan for assessing program progress and benefits, and a plan for continuing the program. A contractual period outline is also presented.

Tampa: Florida Regional Medical Program; 1973. 49 p. (Physician manpower in Florida series. 1) AB: At the request of the Community Hospital Education Council of Florida, this study was performed to assist the Council in its function of helping to provide a continuing supply of highly trained physicians, in the appropriate specialities, in the communities where they are needed. The objective of the study was to conduct an accurate inventory, by specialty, of physicians in active practice in Florida and to identify gaps in the supply and distribution of physicians. The inventory was compared first with the physician staffing patterns of several major group health plans, ratios that have frequently been used for comparison with the number of practitioners in certain populations. This comparison developed an "excess" of physicians in primary care and in most specialities for the state. Such a finding is markedly inconsistent with the availability of physicians that actually pertains in Florida today. Under the conclusion that the group health plan ratios do not apply to the system by which health care and physicians' services are delivered to Floridians at this time, the author of this report has developed a set of recommended baseline physician ratios and has compared the inventory with those. Related tables are included in the appendices. (Author).

Rockville (MD): Regional Medical Programs Service; 1973. 71 p AB: The experience of the Regional Medical Program (RMP) with urban health problems is documented and assessed in a report based on site visits to 12 regions and a review of legislation, journal articles, and other materials pertaining to the program. The report opens with reflections on the information and data gathered, together with conclusions drawn from the data. Major historical forces that shaped the response of Congress and the Executive Branch to social problems in the 1960's are reviewed, and key programs and agencies of the 1960's are described to convey the environment within which the RMP was established. An indepth historical survey of the RMP is presented, beginning with an analysis of the original enabling legislation and of several statutory extensions. Activities of all of the regions, especially as they relate to the development of medical care services in medically underserved areas, are reviewed. Information gathered by Urban Health Task Force members during their site visits is presented and assessed. The experience of the RMP in all regions is said to support the conclusion that the greatest and most universally expressed need among the disadvantaged in both urban and rural areas is for comprehensive primary medical care. It is observed that many RMP's have assisted communities in developing high-quality ambulatory health services, usually by building upon and expanding existing services and facilities. Methodology used in the assessment is described in the appendix.

Albuquerque: Four Corners Area Health Education Center; 1975. 53 p. AB: Also sponsored by the New Mexico Regional Medical Program, Albuquerque. Project objectives were to train 10 nurses from hospitals in tCorners Area in rural critical care nursing, to have a training director organize and coordinate the project, and to utilize the replacement nurse concept. The course curriculum was determined through a needs assessment survey conducted by a team of health professionals from Arizona universities, and on-site clinical visits made to participating hospitals to discuss curriculum content with the nursing director and prospective trainee. Eleven nurses (9 RNs and 2 LPNs) took the 2-week course in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ten were replaced by project-hired nurses. Since the eleventh nurse was the nursing director from Zuni, no replacement was hired. Six nurses were Navajo, one was a Pueblo Indian, and four were Anglo. Two groups of five nurses each attended the course on alternating weeks. Subjective and objective evaluations were conducted through pre- and posttests, and questionnaires given to the trainees, nursing directors from the participating hospitals, and the replacement nurses. After the course was completed, the training director, replacement nurses, nursing directors, and trainees met to evaluate the project's effectiveness. Overall, everyone felt the project had been effective. Appendices include a list of participating rural hospitals, nurse trainees, and replacement nurses' rotation assignments; results of the trainees' self-assessment of skills; and the various evaluation forms.

Baton Rouge: Louisiana Regional Medical Program; 1974. 132 p AB: Preceding the body of the report, a brief review of the literature is provided to acquaint the reader with similarities and differences between national and local trends regarding the demographic characteristics of the physician population. The goal of the statewide residency study was to develop a strategy for the design and allocation of physician residencies consistent with statewide needs. A graphic model of the physician manpower production process was developed which enhanced understanding of the manpower problems facing Louisiana. Through the model, available data, and personal interviews with senior medical students and postgraduate trainees, data were compiled and analyzed regarding the need for physicians in Louisiana in 1982, where and how the number of physicians can be increased, the status of primary care treatment, likely sites for practicing physicians, and related concerns. The general conclusions point to several significant manpower production problems in Louisiana in its preparation for future needs for physician services. The study committee proposed several recommendations to meet the problem. (Appendixes contain supplementary tables and interview forms. ) (AG).

The first grants for regional medical programs were activated 1 July 1966, and as of 30 June 1967, forty-nine had been awarded out of a possible total of fifty-five. The importance of excellent medical library facilities within each region, especially in all major teaching hospitals, with extensions down to the level of the community hospitals, was emphasized, and the concept of the community hospital as a learning center utilizing the most modern library concepts and teaching devices was commended. The Medical Library Association was asked whether training programs were being developed which would produce the numbers of personnel needed to staff the increased number of medical libraries of the future and whether new training programs were needed for service at the community hospital level.

Program accomplishments in the area of primary care, preventive care, renal disease, and emergency medical services are reviewed. Ambulatory care has been designated as the area's top priority; insufficient manpower represents an additional major area of concern. A plan for collecting and tabulating primary health care data is described, as are programs directed at detection and treatment of hypertension on an ambulatory basis, education of school children regarding smoking and drug abuse, and other programs. A policy change is noted under which fiscal fees no longer are payed to project sponsors and all projects are administered directly through the Regional Medical Program staff. This change resulted in a savings of $60,000 during the year. A financial report is presented, together with a list of currently funded projects. Regional Medical Program publications also are listed.

TRMP was formed to help its member physicists extend and improve their services to the medical profession. This is accomplished by offering services to the members that they do not have available as individuals and by serving as a means of communication and cooperation between the members. Services provided by the TRMP central office include dosimetry calculations by computer, mailed thermoluminescent dosemeters to check machine output, mailed films to check light localizers, loan of equipment and information services. In addition, a physicist is available for on-site review of dosimetry procedures at a member's institution. The TRMP services are available only to physicists and TRMP employees are not permitted to do private consulting; therefore, there is no interference with established relationships between members and the radiotherapy community.

UI: 507 TI: Statement of New Mexico Regional Medical Program Health Education Group on health education. 1973 Sep. Albuquerque: New Mexico Regional Medical Program, Health Education Group; 1973. 42 p. AB: An organizational plan for consumer health education activities of the New Mexico Regional Medical Programs' Health Education Group (HEG) is presented. Health education is defined, and the purpose, organization, and planning base of the HEG are described. Long-term organizational goals are set forth, and the consumer role in the health care delivery system is discussed. Goals related to the development of a total health resource network in New Mexico are stated, and future orientation guidelines (the need for ongoing research by the health care delivery system) are presented. A process for developing health education materials, including dissemination of the final product, is outlined. Steps in planning for health education, drawn from World Health Organization materials, are outlined as follows: collecting information essential for planning; establishing objectives defined as short-range and long-range goals; assessing the barriers to health education and how these barriers may be overcome; appraising apparent and potential resources, e.g., organizations, personnel, materials, and funds; and developing the detailed plan of operations. A discussion of the concept of illness/wellness in health education is included. This concept is said to offer a complete range of possibilities for interpreting an individual's state or level of health, thereby providing the health educator with a clue as to how educational methodology might best be oriented with reference to a persons's health status. The cycle of life concept is presented as a framework for HEG planning. Based on the prioritizations given to various categories as they relate to stages of life, the Group is provided with topics from which media presentations can be developed. These topical areas include nutrition, physical development, environment, psychological development, safety, and illness / wellness; life stages are identified as infancy, early childhood, school age, teen years, early adulthood, middle age, and geriatrics.

Gayle //Campbell, James H. TI: Alabama Regional Medical Program family practice residency feasibility study. Final Report. 1974 Sep 30. Birmingham: Alabama Regional Medical Program; 1974. 144 p AB: The need for additional family physicians in Alabama is documented, and the establishment of family practice residencies in nine communities is proposed. A statistical evaluation of the American Medical Association's Physician Master Record (June 1974) shows a ratio of family practice / general practice (FP / GP) physicians to population of 1:5, 198 for Alabama, or more than twice the ratio recommended by the American Academy of Family Practice. The immediate addition of a minimum of 746 FP / GP physicians is required to achieve the recommended ratio. Currently, two family practice residency programs exist in the State, each authorized for 24 residents. Maldistribution of FP / GP physicians is an additional problem. It is also noted that older FP / GP physicians far outnumber younger practitioners. A projection of need for family practice physicians is made for each planning district in the State. The nine communities proposed as sited for a Statewide network of family practice residencies have hospital facilities and medical staff capable of meeting the educational requirements of the Residency Review Committee for Family Practice. These communities also have indicated a level of interest appropriate for program development. A budget for funding residencies at their sites is estimated, and potential sources of funds are suggested. The mechanism by which the residencies will operate as an integrated system rather than as a loose confederation of autonomous programs is outlined. Appendices include a list of participants in a planning conference; an outline of steps in establishing a family practice residency; the methodology used to determine physician need; unit cost estimates; a map showing family practice residency programs in the United States; and other supporting documents. Nine tables and a three-page bibliography also are included. Port of this document are not fully legible.

Birmingham: Alabama Regional Medical Program; 1970. 49 p AB: Proceedings of a conference held on June 25, 1970, to discuss status of and need for continuing education programs for allied health professionals in Alabama are presented. It was found that such programs vary from none at all to 'fairly good, but inadequately financed' at the State level; programs established by national organizations present problems of high cost and job time lost for attendance. Needs for establishing and strengthening programs appear to be in the following order of urgency: physical therapists, radiologic technologists, medical record librarians, nurse anesthetists, nurses, pharmacists, and medical technologists. It is suggested that the various professional organizations join forces under the direction of an administrator affiliated with a State university to organize and publicize continuing education programs throughout the State. Specific topic discussed at the conference include: the role of educational television in continuing education; status of and goals for continuing education for nurse anesthetists, medical record personnel, and physical therapists; continuing education from the viewpoint of a physician; and current and projected manpower requirements for allied health professions versus supply. Discussions with representatives of four Alabama professional groups concerning activities and needs for continuing education and extension services are summarized.

Augusta: Maine's Regional Medical Program Research and Evaluation Service; 1970. 256 p AB: A study of nursing homes in Maine was conducted by student researchers during the summer, 1970, under Maine's Regional Medical Program (MRMP). The survey, focusing on staffing patterns and general needs in nursing homes in Maine, was conducted in order to determine ways in which MRMP might assist the nursing homes and the Maine Department of Health and Welfare in their efforts to provide the best possible patient care. The tabulation of the data which was collected forms the basis of the report. It was found that for the most part nursing homes are understaffed, particularly in regard to trained nurses. Recommendations are made such as: the standardization of state and federal requirements; a revision of medicare toward greater responsiveness to patient's needs; and a greater availability of occupation, physical, speech, and psychological therapists to nursing homes.

This system was purchased by Project 6 of the Wisconsin Regional Medical Program, known as Wisconsin Radiological Physics Laboratory (WRPL). Interaction with the system is accomplished by using Xerox telecopiers. A software beam generation system has been developed which enhances the ability of this system to respond effectively to use of this type. Treatment beams may be defined from data collected by a water phantom beam scanning device which outputs data onto paper tape, from beam information already contained on the RAD-8 system tape and from /sup 60/Co treatment machine parameters. From a set of basic beam definitions, additional treatment beams may be generated as needed in a matter of a few minutes. At present between two and three treatment plans are calculated per day with response times varying between a few hours and one day. The overall utilization of this system was presented as well as the accuracy which can be expected for teletherapy and interstitial or intracavitary calculations performed.

Milwaukee: Wisconsin Regional Medical Program; 1972. 85 p. AB: An ad hoc committee approved by the Executive Committee of the Regional Advisory Group spent eight months in 1972 addressing itself to the question, 'Should a School of Optometry be established in the state of Wisconsin to deal with the overall need for eye and vision care in the state.' Their study was designed to identify, through the providers of eye and vision care services, those services the public should expect in eye and vision care, and the optimum delivery of these services. The committee found that data on distance between practitioners, hours worked, visits per week, and waiting time for routine appointments did not indicate a significant need for more optometrists. Current entry levels and projected exit rates of practitioners did not constitute evidence that additional numbers of optometrists would be needed through 1985. The report surveyed the possible new technologies in eye care that might increase the productivity of eye care practitioners at some future time by as much as 50%. The committee, further, recommended the establishment of a continuing education program through the University of Wisconsin.
