Delivery Of Medical Care

The meaning of the article by Dr. Chabot in Pediatrics, June 1971 concerning improved infant mortality between 1964 and 1968 in Denver puzzled me. I wonder whether there is any relation between the improved community health programs described and the happy results presented. Surely, many factors other than medical care affect infant mortality. For example, I wonder whether the author would suggest that the startling (to me) rise in infant mortality noted in Table II for Boston, Buffalo, Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Seattle, resulted from poorer delivery of medical care.

Effective Cost

Abstract Medical staff are expected to cooperate with other professions and agencies in helping the young human in achieving the goal of becoming a healthy, well- functioning adult that expresses her/his maximal potential. Achieving this goal should be cost-effective. Cost includes not just the economic burden but also psychosocial determinants such as emotional disruption, stress, living at risk, malfunctioning, and dependency. Acknowledging the risks and the expected achievements at each age are useful in analyzing the failure of community health programs and in planning preventive modalities and needed remedies.
