Among those attending from our hospital were Mrs. E. L. Hook, Superintendent; Mrs. J. T. Gray, Assist.-Supt.; Mrs, Wentworth Watson, Business Manager; Mrs. Hattie Moore, Medical Records Dept. and Mr. R. Merchant, Laboratory and X-ray Technician. Of these Mrs. Hook was the hospital's voting delegate at the annual meeting of the Association, which was held on the first morning of the convention. Hospital people from almost all branches of hospital service, including administration, nurs- ing, trusteeship and dietetics, attended the three-day affair. New advances in computer science and their application to the hospital system was one of the major topics of discussion. As an important aspect of the convention's main theme--"New Concepts for Better Care"--the question of the computer's value to hospitals came up for special consideration on the final day of the convention, Wednesday, October 27th. Many hospital people are concerned about the potential impact of the compu- ter in hospitals, and the close, person - to - person relationship that has historically been the focal point of hospital care. Mr. Charles Campbell, Assistant Administrator of the 260 bed Akron, Ohio Children's Hospital --a pioneer in the use of com- puters -- highlighted the Wed- nesday discussion. Also on the three-day con- vention program were such other important and diversified subjects as the development of a discharge planning system within hospitals, the standards of nursing homes, the use of work study in hospitals, and the chaplain's services to hospitals, Another major topic involved the challenging question "Are Hospitals Good Employers?" The platform panel for that session on the opening day con- sisted of Albert Hearn, head of for TEA opportunity Ip Education" the Building Service Employees International Union; Lloyd Sharpe, Employment Relations Director of the Registered Nur- ses Association of Ontario and the man slated to be the Ont- ario Hospital Associations next President, Glen W, Phelps, a Trustee of the Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital.
