Home Care as an Integral Part of Comprehensive Medical Care as Seen Through the Home Care Program of Bellevue Medical Center, 1956
Abstract
Within the past decade considerable activity has taken place in the fields of medicine and public health in relation to the problem of long term illness. National and local health and welfare bodies have met, conferred together and contributed to the fund of general knowledge and to public awareness of many aspects of the problem, including the cost to the community in public and private monies and in social and economic productivity. Such converted thought on the part of numerous professional individuals, with diverse special but related fields of interest, produces the groundwork for social legislation, for community organization, and for modi- fication in established and traditional health services. One example of the latter is the accelerated movement in various parts of the country toward extension of hospital services into home care programs, hopefully for the greater benefit of patient and community alike.
