hospital costs are the most important factor contributing to the in- crease in hospital costs ing to a report from Walther Memorial hospital 1116 N Kedzie The wages of hospital em- ployes still low compared to in other fields are rising more rapidly than the others This rise results both from increasing skill re- in technicians and and from increased wage levels for the traditionally pital jobs the report explains The increase in wages has not been offset by any increase in the of hospital ment and increased standards of care have meant an in- creased demand for skilled manpower Because of the short supply of skilled nel hospitals have had to hire more unskilled and ed workers to fill in Nonwage costs of hospitals are also rising the report states reflecting the growing complexity of hospital plant and rapid increases in the care facilities available in hospitals Rising price levels of things the hospital drugs and other higher costs of operation Hospital daily charges which per had been rising about 6 cent a year between and 1965 went 16.5 percent in This was the largest an- increase in 18 years Most of this rise came in the second half of the year after the introduction of icare the report says Although Medicare raised hospital occupancy rates in many places increased does not generally lead to higher costs per patient The influence of Medicare probably came mainly through the need for hospitals to re- examine costs and charges In the course of this re-examination many hospitals probably charges means to support them the projection is largely made by accepting the enrollment figure i of last June as that of the ber of pupils to be expected in September In other neighborhoods particularly where the ning of change has brought about the first signs of higher mobility and the in-coming of new types of residents for September ment can often be made as fairly accurate educated guesses by a combination of last June's enrollment ures the numbers of in and out transfers issued during the summer months and other factors including a trust in intuition Elsewhere however the high mobility of the population or a speedy change in the character ot a neighborhood makes either educated or wild guessing hazardous and with last enrollment figures available only as guidelines Also of course where schools decided to increase have been operating at or over rated
