HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS A new program, originally required by federal law April 1 but delayed until July 1, will soon be started at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County to monitor all patient ad­ missions. Bert Hanson, executive director at the county-wide hospital in Woodstock, said detailed certification and ex­ tensive record-keeping throughout the patient 's stay in the hospital will be required under the new law. The program is intended to util ize the facili t ies and per­ sonnel of each hospital to the fullest and to limit the stay of patients only to that period for which they need to be hospitalized, Hanson said. On admission, a coordinator- a registered nurse assigned this responsibili ty- will begin the Utilization Review Cer­ tification by reviewing criteria and by fil l ing out certain forms. This coordinator will work under the direction of a physician adviser, who is chairman of the util ization committee, Hanson em­ phasized. This util ization committee of qualified physicians and other professionals will provide ongoing review of admissions. On admittance a patient will be given certification for the length of stay the admitting doctor believes required. The coordinator will affix a length- of-stay label. KMC Form 4, to the patient 's chart. An ex­ tension of the stay must be approved and an appropriate extension shown with an ap­ propriate certification form. Hanson said a special cer­ tification program is planned for emergency admissions, and the necessary FMC forms will be filed in those cases within 24 hours of admission by the at­ tending physician. Memorial hospital has had a util ization committee since 1966 when the Medicare program began. One purpose of this new certification for all admissions is to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and to limit hospitalization only as long as necessary for the patient 's recovery. Hanson said this program will increase the paper work of the hospital, add to the work of the physicians and increase the cost of hospitalization because j)f the exhaustive record­ keeping required.
