Library and information services for small hospitals.

The quality of medical care is dependent on effective and expeditious information services for physicians and other health workers. Small hospitals have been at a particular disadvantage in this respect, mainly because unit costs of library services have been quite high when delivered on a small scale with traditional resources and methods. The importance of this problem is suggested by the fact that more than half of the US hospitals have less than 100 beds, and that library services have been primitive or nonexistent in most of these institutions. Certain recent developments will permit most of these smaller hospitals to provide creditable information services at modest cost.

Substantial differences in the diagnostic criteria used by diabetes experts.

A survey of twenty diabetologists revealed that they employ diagnostic criteria differing quite substantially. In some populations, including the general population of the United States, these disparities would result in very major differences in the rates of "diabetes." Under certain common circumstances, some diabetologists would classify as normal more than half of the one- and two-hour values considered to be abnormal by other well-qualified diabetologists.
