ADams 9211-9212 Daily Rates Increased 50 Cents and $1 by Arlington Hospital Arlington Hospital last night an nounced increases of 50 cents to a dollar in dally rates for ward , and semi-private beds, in a meve tc [check mounting operating losses. Beds in children's wards were raised from $5 to $6. Those in four bed wards for adult patients went from $6 to $7, while semiprivate accommodations, two beds In a I room, were increased from $7.5C to $8. Private room rates were left un changed, at $9 and $10 a day. The increase in Arlington's charges for semiprivate beds was the second in three months. A 50 cent raise in this type of accom modation was announced in July after hospital officials reported semiprivate beds cost more at other hospitals. "Our increased rates have been necessitated by sharply increased ι costs," explained Karl H. York, hos 1 pital administrator, when the an nouncement was made. Averafe Patient Costs $15.49. He said services extended to each patient at the hospital now cost an average of $15.49 a day. The former room rates, plus extrs charges for operating room, drug! and other hospital items, did not bring the average patient's payment I to thie figure, he asserted. Mr. Yofk listed the hospital'! total operating costs through Au gust of this year at $361,960, which ! ί put it $48,443 in the red: With the new rates, the hospita official said, Arlington hopes tc ; oïuju aiiy luiiuci ucuut nuiii μβ,γ· 1 îng patients during the remalndei : of the year. The daily loss or 11 charity patients, however, is about ! $10, he pointed out. Chest Unit Pays $5 a Case. Arlington Hospital receives onlj $5 a day for indigent cases iron: the Health Security Administration which dispenses Community Chest ; Federation funds. Arlington Countj makes up the difference between $! and actual cost for tax-eligibl( county residents, about 20 per cen of the county's HSA patients. Fair fax County, which supplies 60 pei cent of the hospital's charity load does not. During the last few years, risinj hospital costs have forced Arling ton officials to make an annual ap peal to the community for dona· j tions. The September, 1946, drivi raised $52,000, but another cair paign last May netted only $33,000 While regretting the necessity t< ; raise room rates, Mr. York pointée out that the average patient's hospi 1 tal expenses are limited today b' ; the fact that most people don't stai as long in their hospital beds as the; once did. i JJsual Stay Is Six Days. At Arlington, he said, the averagi j stay is only six and a half days, du< to improved medical technique? the use of penicillin and the sulfi drugs and the growing advocacy ο early ambulation instead of a lonf convalescence in bed. More rapid cure and recovery while it involves added daily ex pense, shortens the time in whicl wage earners must suffer loss ο income, the administrator explained He cited a recent survey of thi American Medical Association whicl showed the average family spend: more money on liquor, recreatioi and tobacco than on medical care Of each medical care dollar, hi added, only 16 cents goes to th hospitals. The rest is spent oi doctors' and dentists' fees, drug and other services. : - G/en Echo Youth To Elect Officers For Halloween Youngsters at Glen Echo.
