Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tenth Report of the Trustees of the City Hospital, Boston, 1874: With Reports of the Superintendent and Professional Staff, Rules for Admissions and Discharges, Etc
The detailed statement of the disbursements during the year indicates that'while more work has been done, it has been practically at a less cost. This, together with the fact that the amount paid for labor has been somewhat increased, is believed to indicate that the general increase made in the pay of the employés was a measure of good economy. In addition to this, and what is of still greater value, a marked effect has been produced upon the character and efficiency of the service. With proper compensation not only can more intelligent and reliable persons be found to fill responsible places, but the qualities of self-respect and good character bring with them kindness and patience to the bedsides of the Sick.
The matter of admitting patients to the Hospital is believed by the Board to be one of very great importance, and Innch attention has been given to it. The change which was made in assigning this duty to the Resident Physician has proved highly satisfactory, in that the claims of applicants can be considered more fully and at all times, and that a familiar knowledge of the internal condition and capacities of the Hospital facilitates greatly the determination of the propriety and possibility of admission.
