JNIRODUCTION

In the past several years the subje~t of health care

delivery has assumed increasing importance asa public issue

Congressional hearings public and private commissions and

task forces have investigated the functioning of the health

care system in depth reporting that access to the system

is impeded by financial barriers and by inefficiency of the

delivery system (8p1) 1 Medicare and lled1caid have

attempted to surmount the financial barriers for some segshy

ments of the population and more inclusive health insurshy

ance proposals are being considered in Congress The

Healthright program tmd~r the Economic Opportunity Act

has stimulat~d efforts to improve the delivery system as it

relates to low income persons and some of the health

insurance proposals also have the goal of improving the

delivery system

The Task Force on Organization of Community Health

Services in Health Admin1stration and Organization in the

Decade Ahead (25p13) briefly presents four interrelated

concepts which form a framework for looking at health as a

1 Health is a resource for the social and economiC development of the nation as a mole

2 The healthand social needs of the indishyvidual in modern society are Ulti~atelyinseparable thus the presence of indenti shy

tiable poverty as an adverse influence on health progress and improvement and equally the condition of 111 health will tend to interfere with the individualts ability to function and beproductive~

3 The concept of public health in today s world has begun to expand markedly moving in the direction of convergence withprivate medicine and voluntary efforts these spheresbeing included in the broader term ttcommushynity health

4 Thereex1sts aninescapable interdependence-shycommunity state and national--in the adminishystration and organization of community health services

Obviously the health care system is one 1hich has

many aspects bull Although these aspects--financing manshy

pow~r service delivery~are interrelated we intend in

this report to deal specifically with one facet This is

the decentralization of health care facilities to provide

comprehensive health care services at the local level

The report is presented in two parts The first

part will examine the literature relating to the developshy

ment of the comprehensive neighborhood health care center

as a means for the delivery ofmed1cal care services An

attempt will be made to determine from the health literashy

ture criteria for the evaluation of medical care systems

and further revie of the literature 1111 attempt to

3

determine how these criteria can best be met in a

decentralized medical care delivery system

The second part of the report will examine the health

needs of Multnomah County Oregon with the goal of

providing information about theseneecis for use in health

serv1cemiddotplanning particularly in relation to the

decentralization of health care services

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

over as well as local availability of services

Kahn indicates that decentralization is not a

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

tiona in wh1chthe need for a particular service is too

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

teristiCS middot1 Accessible to a poPulat1on concentration

inCluding preventivediagnost10 treatment and rehabi-

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

tiable poverty as an adverse influence on health progress and improvement and equally the condition of 111 health will tend to interfere with the individualts ability to function and beproductive~

Obviously the health care system is one 1hich has

many aspects bull Although these aspects--financing manshy

pow~r service delivery~are interrelated we intend in

this report to deal specifically with one facet This is

the decentralization of health care facilities to provide

comprehensive health care services at the local level

The report is presented in two parts The first

part will examine the literature relating to the developshy

ment of the comprehensive neighborhood health care center

as a means for the delivery ofmed1cal care services An

attempt will be made to determine from the health literashy

ture criteria for the evaluation of medical care systems

and further revie of the literature 1111 attempt to

3

determine how these criteria can best be met in a

decentralized medical care delivery system

The second part of the report will examine the health

needs of Multnomah County Oregon with the goal of

providing information about theseneecis for use in health

serv1cemiddotplanning particularly in relation to the

decentralization of health care services

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

~ II

12

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

JNIRODUCTION

In the past several years the subje~t of health care

delivery has assumed increasing importance asa public issue

Congressional hearings public and private commissions and

task forces have investigated the functioning of the health

care system in depth reporting that access to the system

is impeded by financial barriers and by inefficiency of the

delivery system (8p1) 1 Medicare and lled1caid have

attempted to surmount the financial barriers for some segshy

ments of the population and more inclusive health insurshy

ance proposals are being considered in Congress The

Healthright program tmd~r the Economic Opportunity Act

has stimulat~d efforts to improve the delivery system as it

relates to low income persons and some of the health

insurance proposals also have the goal of improving the

delivery system

The Task Force on Organization of Community Health

Services in Health Admin1stration and Organization in the

Decade Ahead (25p13) briefly presents four interrelated

concepts which form a framework for looking at health as a

1 Health is a resource for the social and economiC development of the nation as a mole

2 The healthand social needs of the indishyvidual in modern society are Ulti~atelyinseparable thus the presence of indenti shy

tiable poverty as an adverse influence on health progress and improvement and equally the condition of 111 health will tend to interfere with the individualts ability to function and beproductive~

3 The concept of public health in today s world has begun to expand markedly moving in the direction of convergence withprivate medicine and voluntary efforts these spheresbeing included in the broader term ttcommushynity health

4 Thereex1sts aninescapable interdependence-shycommunity state and national--in the adminishystration and organization of community health services

Obviously the health care system is one 1hich has

many aspects bull Although these aspects--financing manshy

pow~r service delivery~are interrelated we intend in

this report to deal specifically with one facet This is

the decentralization of health care facilities to provide

comprehensive health care services at the local level

The report is presented in two parts The first

part will examine the literature relating to the developshy

ment of the comprehensive neighborhood health care center

as a means for the delivery ofmed1cal care services An

attempt will be made to determine from the health literashy

ture criteria for the evaluation of medical care systems

and further revie of the literature 1111 attempt to

3

determine how these criteria can best be met in a

decentralized medical care delivery system

The second part of the report will examine the health

needs of Multnomah County Oregon with the goal of

providing information about theseneecis for use in health

serv1cemiddotplanning particularly in relation to the

decentralization of health care services

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

~ II

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

JNIRODUCTION

In the past several years the subje~t of health care

delivery has assumed increasing importance asa public issue

Congressional hearings public and private commissions and

task forces have investigated the functioning of the health

care system in depth reporting that access to the system

is impeded by financial barriers and by inefficiency of the

delivery system (8p1) 1 Medicare and lled1caid have

attempted to surmount the financial barriers for some segshy

ments of the population and more inclusive health insurshy

ance proposals are being considered in Congress The

Healthright program tmd~r the Economic Opportunity Act

has stimulat~d efforts to improve the delivery system as it

relates to low income persons and some of the health

insurance proposals also have the goal of improving the

delivery system

The Task Force on Organization of Community Health

Services in Health Admin1stration and Organization in the

Decade Ahead (25p13) briefly presents four interrelated

concepts which form a framework for looking at health as a

1 Health is a resource for the social and economiC development of the nation as a mole

2 The healthand social needs of the indishyvidual in modern society are Ulti~atelyinseparable thus the presence of indenti shy

tiable poverty as an adverse influence on health progress and improvement and equally the condition of 111 health will tend to interfere with the individualts ability to function and beproductive~

3 The concept of public health in today s world has begun to expand markedly moving in the direction of convergence withprivate medicine and voluntary efforts these spheresbeing included in the broader term ttcommushynity health

4 Thereex1sts aninescapable interdependence-shycommunity state and national--in the adminishystration and organization of community health services

Obviously the health care system is one 1hich has

many aspects bull Although these aspects--financing manshy

pow~r service delivery~are interrelated we intend in

this report to deal specifically with one facet This is

the decentralization of health care facilities to provide

comprehensive health care services at the local level

The report is presented in two parts The first

part will examine the literature relating to the developshy

ment of the comprehensive neighborhood health care center

as a means for the delivery ofmed1cal care services An

attempt will be made to determine from the health literashy

ture criteria for the evaluation of medical care systems

and further revie of the literature 1111 attempt to

3

determine how these criteria can best be met in a

decentralized medical care delivery system

The second part of the report will examine the health

needs of Multnomah County Oregon with the goal of

providing information about theseneecis for use in health

serv1cemiddotplanning particularly in relation to the

decentralization of health care services

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

over as well as local availability of services

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

)

JNIRODUCTION

In the past several years the subje~t of health care

delivery has assumed increasing importance asa public issue

Congressional hearings public and private commissions and

task forces have investigated the functioning of the health

care system in depth reporting that access to the system

is impeded by financial barriers and by inefficiency of the

delivery system (8p1) 1 Medicare and lled1caid have

attempted to surmount the financial barriers for some segshy

ments of the population and more inclusive health insurshy

ance proposals are being considered in Congress The

Healthright program tmd~r the Economic Opportunity Act

has stimulat~d efforts to improve the delivery system as it

relates to low income persons and some of the health

insurance proposals also have the goal of improving the

delivery system

The Task Force on Organization of Community Health

Services in Health Admin1stration and Organization in the

Decade Ahead (25p13) briefly presents four interrelated

concepts which form a framework for looking at health as a

contemporary policy issue

1 Health is a resource for the social and economiC development of the nation as a mole

2 The healthand social needs of the indishyvidual in modern society are Ulti~atelyinseparable thus the presence of indenti shy

tiable poverty as an adverse influence on health progress and improvement and equally the condition of 111 health will tend to interfere with the individualts ability to function and beproductive~

3 The concept of public health in today s world has begun to expand markedly moving in the direction of convergence withprivate medicine and voluntary efforts these spheresbeing included in the broader term ttcommushynity health

4 Thereex1sts aninescapable interdependence-shycommunity state and national--in the adminishystration and organization of community health services

Obviously the health care system is one 1hich has

many aspects bull Although these aspects--financing manshy

pow~r service delivery~are interrelated we intend in

this report to deal specifically with one facet This is

the decentralization of health care facilities to provide

comprehensive health care services at the local level

The report is presented in two parts The first

part will examine the literature relating to the developshy

ment of the comprehensive neighborhood health care center

as a means for the delivery ofmed1cal care services An

attempt will be made to determine from the health literashy

ture criteria for the evaluation of medical care systems

and further revie of the literature 1111 attempt to

3

determine how these criteria can best be met in a

decentralized medical care delivery system

The second part of the report will examine the health

needs of Multnomah County Oregon with the goal of

providing information about theseneecis for use in health

serv1cemiddotplanning particularly in relation to the

decentralization of health care services

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

over as well as local availability of services

Kahn indicates that decentralization is not a

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

tiona in wh1chthe need for a particular service is too

many rounds of apPointments

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

1 Health is a resource for the social and economiC development of the nation as a mole

2 The healthand social needs of the indishyvidual in modern society are Ulti~atelyinseparable thus the presence of indenti shy

tiable poverty as an adverse influence on health progress and improvement and equally the condition of 111 health will tend to interfere with the individualts ability to function and beproductive~

3 The concept of public health in today s world has begun to expand markedly moving in the direction of convergence withprivate medicine and voluntary efforts these spheresbeing included in the broader term ttcommushynity health

4 Thereex1sts aninescapable interdependence-shycommunity state and national--in the adminishystration and organization of community health services

Obviously the health care system is one 1hich has

many aspects bull Although these aspects--financing manshy

pow~r service delivery~are interrelated we intend in

this report to deal specifically with one facet This is

the decentralization of health care facilities to provide

comprehensive health care services at the local level

The report is presented in two parts The first

part will examine the literature relating to the developshy

ment of the comprehensive neighborhood health care center

as a means for the delivery ofmed1cal care services An

attempt will be made to determine from the health literashy

ture criteria for the evaluation of medical care systems

and further revie of the literature 1111 attempt to

3

determine how these criteria can best be met in a

decentralized medical care delivery system

The second part of the report will examine the health

needs of Multnomah County Oregon with the goal of

providing information about theseneecis for use in health

serv1cemiddotplanning particularly in relation to the

decentralization of health care services

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

over as well as local availability of services

Kahn indicates that decentralization is not a

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

~ II

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

teristiCS middot1 Accessible to a poPulat1on concentration

The range ot services in the comprehens1venelghborshy

hood health center shouldbe as complete as possible

inCluding preventivediagnost10 treatment and rehabi-

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

two store frontsatellites the center to be the base

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

two store frontsatellites the center to be the base

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

health problems such as elderly people or large families

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

~ II

12

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

relate to a neighborhood orsection and to its populationbull

bull bull bull Thus the organization of services at the neighshy

borhood level bas the added purpose of contributing to

the search tor neighborhood n He adds that this process

i8 more relevant it there is a measure of local control

over as well as local availability of services

Kahn indicates that decentralization is not a

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

over as well as local availability of services

Kahn indicates that decentralization is not a

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

hood health center shouldbe as complete as possible

inCluding preventivediagnost10 treatment and rehabi-

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

two store frontsatellites the center to be the base

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

two store frontsatellites the center to be the base

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

inCluding preventivediagnost10 treatment and rehabi-

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

being aware of groups in the neighborhood with special

health problems such as elderly people or large families

witb yOlmg children This means that it is important

in planning to be aware of the demographic features of the patient population This will be considered more

thoroughly inPart II of this report

Kahn (22 p275) continues however to indicate

that more than the improvement of service usage is I

involved in decentralization and that decentralization

ot service delivery also represents part of tI a general

search to break down cities to human scale for some

purposes on the assumption that people find it easier toshy

borhood level bas the added purpose of contributing to

the search tor neighborhood n He adds that this process

over as well as local availability of services

Kahn indicates that decentralization is not a

viable goal in some circumstances These include situashy

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

Omiddot Donnell (27 p3) reviewing the 1iterat~e on

service delivery and social action through neighborhood

service centers preseJJbB a list of characteristics

generallydesirable in ~eighbOrhood service delivery

centers Firsthe states that the center should be

accessible It should be in a physically convenient

location and should be open evenings and weekends as

well as providing at least em~rg8ncy telephone coverage

t

24 hours a day

The center should als~ be irDmed1ate in 1ts funcshy

tioning That is the centermust have the capacity to

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

many rounds of apPointments

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

center should offer a full range ofusable oil-the-spot

services or easyaccess to other resources by available

transportation It should gear itself to the needs that

peoplehaV8-especially poor people-and provide for the

slmultaneoushar1d11ng of problems were possible

SerVices should 8180 b 1J1tegrated and coordinated so

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

teristiCS middot1 Accessible to a poPulat1on concentration

hood health center shouldbe as complete as possible

inCluding preventivediagnost10 treatment and rehabi-

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

provide prOmpt efficient service and should be able to bullrespond to problems middotwithout long hours ofwalt1ng and

The centexsservices should be 6omprehensive liThe

thatseMces can more effectively be provided

The operation of the service center should fInally

be responsive to the needs and desir-es of the neighborshy

hood It should provide ways in which reSidents can

shape th~ program and continue to contribute to its course

and development It should be relevant and ready to

respond to changing needs II

The concept of the comprehensive neighborhood health

center developed by OEO (31 p324) has been described by

severalwriters Yarby (37 p73) describes it as an

outpatient racility which has certain def~n1te characshy

teristiCS middot1 Accessible to a poPulat1on concentration

The range ot services in the comprehens1venelghborshy

hood health center shouldbe as complete as possible

inCluding preventivediagnost10 treatment and rehabi-

litative services and Sbouldbe deslgnedto eliminate

episodioandfragmented services (31 pp324-325) Schorr

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

reSidents as non-professional health aides at the same

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

two store frontsatellites the center to be the base

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

and English (33p291) add as additional characteristics

ot the compr8henslveneighborhood health cent~r that it

should ~ve intensive participation by and involvement

of the population to be served both in policy making and

as employees and that it should be fully integrated with

the existing health care system The Office of Economic

Opportunity (28 p63) stresses the potential for easing

health manpowershortage$by trairiing local neighborhood

time creating new job and careeropportunitles As

14

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

15

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

Gordon (16 p bull 422) indicates Many of the outstanding

problems in medical practice todayrevolve around

effectively motivating the patient and the prospective

patient to be concerned with his health This is

especially true in a deprived environment The community

health center with its technique ot consumer partici

pation maybe a way to create this cooperation effectvely

It is important to note at this point that the

comprehensive neiShborhood health center haaas its

constituency an integratedmiddot community r~ther than a

particular segment It should haveas Blum and Levy

(6 pp~5) indicate a horizontal rather than a vertical

relationship with the commuriitybull The vertical relatlonshy

ship they state is characteristic ot those service

organizations wh1chapproach the community only in terms

of their own fUnction Tbey see only their relationship

with the users of their service and assume that problems

of accountability will be handled by these consumers

However they pOintout this ienot likely as a vertical

approach creates dependency onthe institution Agencies

in a horizontal relationBhllp recognizetha1 they have

both acommunityand a consumer to serve The horizontal

approach places the matter of accoUltability on a broader

basis than just the involvement of the consumer De Diaz

(14 p4) speaks otthe need to ~develop a community

facility which difters from a clinic for low income

1ji ~

people in that it should serve an economically integrated

community The reason for this is that a wide variation

of consumers may assure a better quality of care

The advantages of the comprehensive neighborhood t

health center over traditional systems of providing

commuruty health services are numerous Hospital outshy

patient departments a major traditional source of ambushy

latory health c8refor poor patients have been indicted

for neglecting preventive health care ~romoting fragshy

mentedeare and subjecting patients to degrading and

impersonal conditions to mention only a few of the major

defects (31 p324) Another defect has been the

tendency to shunt low income patients back and forth

between different cliniCS often at different locations

arid with differel)t open hours for different treatments

or tests in regard to the same lllness(26 p63)

The comprehensive neighborhood health programs that

have been organized present a great variety of organishy

zationalpatterns one area of difference 1s in the

emphasis placed upon making each faci1ity comprehensive

in the services it provides to the patient population

In the Montefieri Hospital Neighborhood Medical Care

Demonstration program in New York City services have

been made available through a central health center and

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

states

In order that a comprehensive neighborhood health

care center be able to proVide continuity of care it

must have arrangements for hospital services integrated

into th system Yarby (37 p73) as quoted above

states that it 1s characteristic of the neighborhood

health center to be directly connected with a teaching

hospital However De Diaz (14p3) indicates that it

may be advantageous for purposes of service delivery not

to havemiddotthe center affiliated with a teaching hospital

She feels that such anaft11iation may lead to asltuation

in which policies might be determined more by the teaching

needs of a medical school than by the service needs of

the patient

middotThe Nat10nalmiddotCommissionmiddoton Community Health Services

(25 p69) states that such a system of comprehensive

health care integrat1na ~e servicmiddotes of several health

and roedical agencies snould utilize Itas much single or

unified management as possible Neighborhood health

centers have been operated under a variety of auspices

but several writers have pointed out the advantages in

termsof coordinated prOvision of servictts management by

the hospital of the neighborhood health center For

instancethisfac111tates the keeping of unified medical

records of all the care a patient Msrecelved either at

the neighborhood health center or _le hospitalized

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

states

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)

There appears to be two aspects of efficiency which are

discussed by writers on the su~3ect of the comprehensive

neighborhood health care centef one of these is the

need to organize) services to make the most efficient and

economical use of scarce medical care resources The

other closelyrelat8d in realIty is the need to help

the public use services in the most efficient manner

The comprehensive neighborhood health center concept

1s lhherentlymiddot efficient in that preventive curative and

rehabilitative health ~are programs are coordinated under

one roof with integrated a~stration Furthermore

theempbasLson prevention health education and early

disease detectionis eftic1ent troJll~estandpoint of

the health care system as well as beneficial to the patient

(18 p760) HQwever ~ue tothe scarcity of health care

personnel thecoiDprehensive neighborhood health center

mustbe an arena tor eXperimentation with new staffing

patterns~ The Kaiser program is indicative of the way

in which health care systems must begin to operate in

that appropr1ate ancillary personnel are used Wherever

possible to perform functions that do not need to be

carried out by the physician As Saward (32 p42)
