Disability: a model and measurement technique.

Current methods of ranking or scoring disability tend to be arbitrary. A new method is put forward on the hypothesis that disability progresses in regular, cumulative patterns. A model of disability is defined and tested with the use of Guttman scale analysis. Its validity is indicated on data from a survey in the community and from postsurgical patients, and some factors involved in scale variation are identified. The model provides a simple measurement technique and has implications for the assessment of individual disadvantage, for the prediction of progress in recovery or deterioration, and for evaluation of the outcome of treatment regimes.

Management and advice at the grass roots.

The new management structure of the National Health Service leaves a gap between multidisciplinary management at district level and the multiprofessional clinical teams caring for patients. This gap is not satisfactorily bridged by single-profession sector management or existing advisory machinery. This is most clearly seen for community services, and experience of a possible solution in an experimental community hospital setting is described.
