Complaints of older widows regarding their husbands' health care are investigated in this study. Sixty-four older widows were interviewed several years after their husbands' deaths. The deaths occurred in the early 1980s. Forty-six percent reported problems in the health care their husbands had received. Widows whose husbands had not known in advance that they were going to die were more likely to complain about their husbands' medical care than widows whose husbands had known in advance. Complaints were also related to the frequency of several symptoms of grief. The widows' complaints about their husbands' care focus on quality of care, perceived insensitivity on the part of health care professionals, lack of control over the death, and the organization of services.

Quality Of Medical Care

A necessary condition for achieving the legislative goals of Public Law 92-603, which created the Professional Standards Review Organizations, is the proper evaluation of the system of providing medical care. Peer review as currently constituted does not provide a proper evaluation. This article shows why present practices are not satisfactory, presents an outline of a minimally satisfactory evaluation system, and concludes by showing that many of the criticisms made of P.S.R.O.s are deficient, and that peer review has the potential for resulting in some improvement in the quality of medical care.
