On-line charging = increased revenue.

Although the new ED charge system is not perfect, it has resulted in improved charging for services delivered; this increase in correct charges has more than offset the resources to develop the entire tracking system project within 1 year. This is one example in which computerization paid for itself, which should help ED managers justify computerization of their departments. It is hoped that more effective charge systems will occur as a component of the computerized patient record in which the patient charge is calculated on the basis of preset formulas for the amount of resources utilized, thus eliminating subjectivity in charging. With the capture of all services rendered, evaluation of practice patterns and outcomes would allow the ED staff to identify effective treatment regimens. Hopefully, unnecessary tests or treatments can be eliminated to promote a decrease in resource utilization and costs without compromising quality patient care.

Computers: getting started.

Because there is not much written about computer application in the emergency department you will frequently find yourself reading about applications in other areas. It is up to you to apply this information in the emergency setting. This makes you pioneers, in search of a new and better tomorrow. Our future is not yet written. It is waiting on you and your creative ideas to keep the wagon rolling. Don't let the new territory of informatics, hardware hardships, and foreign computer languages get you down. Accept informatics as just another challenge, like the many we have faced successfully in the past. Use these resources and your expertise in emergency nursing to create innovative informatic systems.

Family support.

States are gradually developing programs to support families with special needs, but progress is uneven. Some States offer exemplary models and others offer virtually nothing to support families. Value-based, family-centered, accessible, equitable family support programs are greatly needed in every State by the year 2000, at the latest. This will send a message to people with disabilities and their families that we value them, care about them, and want them to be part of their communities. In the words of some family support program participants: "Even though our daughter has multiple handicaps, our desire is to care for her at home, in a loving environment that all children should have the opportunity to experience." "It allows us to keep our daughter at home and file the possibility of putting her in an institution."

A luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist decreases biological activity and modifies chromatographic behavior of luteinizing hormone in man.

The effect of the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist, [D-Trp6,Pro9-NEth]LHRH (LHRHA), on luteinizing hormone (LH) bioactivity was assessed with a rat interstitial cell assay in four men during a 14-d treatment period. Biologic/immunologic (B/I) ratios were unchanged initially with treatment but by day 12 had fallen to levels lower than basal values. Frequent sampling on day 12 revealed blunted gonadotropin responsiveness to LHRHA and absence of spontaneous LH pulsations. Despite continued administration of LHRHA, human chorionic gonadotropin administration resulted in elevated B/I ratios and testosterone levels. Further characterization of the serum immunoreactive LH by Sephadex chromatography revealed a later elution profile during treatment with LHRHA. Thus, LHRHA appears to act, in part, by modification of the bioactivity of LH in man.
