Looking into the future operation of the proposed addition to the hospital building of which will start this summer, one of the new concepts to be adopted by the hospital whereby the service will be administered individually to meet the needs of each patient will be the adoption of progressive patient care. Such c?rc will once again order concentration on the patient as an individual and treatment of pach patient according to his medical needs. Patients that have experienced progressive patient care initiated in large medical centers have remarked that they feel promoted when they are transferred from critical to intermediate and finally to self-care. The physical movement among nursing units within the design of progressive patient care also acts as a lubricant to psychological adjustments.
