Campaign Launched To Promote Ambulatory Surgery
Durham - Citing a possible savings
of millions of dollars a year in health
care costs for North Carolinians,
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North
Carolina has. launched a statewide
camoaign to encourage greater use
of ambulatory surgery in the state’s
general hospitals.
At forum entitled, "Ambulatory
Surgery in the 80 s: North Carolina
and National Perspectives,"
approximately 200 representatives
from 45 hospitals across the state
met recently to hear speakers dis
cuss the potential for increasing the
use of ambulatory surgery. This is a
program whereby a person may
enter the outpatient department of
a h<^, i he morning, have
surgery, and be released later the
same day to recuperate in his own
home at a considerable saving over
the cost of regular hospital care.
"Formal programs of ambulatory
surgery are increasing, and can
save our nation billions of dollars,’’
said Thomas R. O’Donovan, Ph. D.,
administrator of Mt. Carmel Mercy
Hospital in Detroit, Mich. He went
on to say, however, that ” over 50
percent of our nation’s 7,000 hospi
tals have no formal programs."
The forum served as a starting
point for what will be a two-year
program to promote ambulatory
r~
surgery. Blue Cross will meet with
hospitals in nine regions across the
state on a one-on-one basis during
that time to urge them to initiate
ambulatory surgery programs or to
upgrade their current programs.
‘‘We hope to convince the hospitals
of the merits of this type of health
care delivery,” said Thomas A.
Rose, president of Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of North Carolina. We
want to show them that this is a
program from which everyone can
benefit and presuade them to make
this type of surgery a habit in their
practice of medicine.”
According to a recent study by
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North
Carolina, hospital cost savings of
anywhere from 49 to 77 percent may
be realized on seven frequently
performed surgical procedures by
the elimination of a one to two-day
hospital stay. That study, based on
Blue Cross and Blue Shield subscri
bers under the age of 65, revealed
that savings of more than $4 million
a year could be realized by that
group alone.
Currently, there are approximate
ly 300 procedures which can be
performed safely and efficiently
through ambulatory surgery, such
as tonsillectomies adenoidectomies,
some hernia repairs, tubal ligations
and vasectomies.
According to Dr. Davis, the bene
fits of ambulatory surgery are "well
proven.”
. "Twenty to forty percent of the
surgery done in tne United states
could be done through ambulatory
surgery,” he said. "Every subspec
ialty of medicine contains proce
dures that can be done in this
manner.
“It is safe, it does not lower the
quality of care and does not expose
the patient to added jeopardy," he
concluded.
tor Minority Women
YWCA Job Network Will Open Doors
“Minority women suffer from a
double earnings gap - those of both
race and sex,” according to
Sara-Alyce P. Wright, Executive
Director of the YWCA of the U S. A.
Mrs. Wright spoke at a one-day
conference at the Department of
Labor on Nov. 14, at which a new
YWCA Jobs Network was
presented. The program, funded
by a $125,000 grant from the
Department of Labor, is designed
to increase opportunities in the
skilled trades for women,
especially minorities.
the YWCA Jobs Network will
help industry to meet Labor
Department guidelines, which
require that 3.1 percent of the
crews of federally funded
construction projects be women.
Currently only from one to three
percent of the higher paying skilled
trade jobs are held by women.
Speakers at the conference,
which was attended by represent
atives from 35 local YWCAs and 25
Comprehensive Employment
Training Administration (CETA)
prime sponsors from across the
country, included Alexis Herman,
Director of the Women’s Bureau.
Department of Labor,and Ernest
G. Green, Assistant Secretary,
Employment and Training Admin
istration, Department of Labor.
Designed by the National Board
of the YWCA and supported by the
Associated General Contractors of
America, the YWCA Jobs Network
is a prototype plan of action for
local YWCAs. The plan calls for
the community YWCA to act as a
liaison between the local CETA
government sponsor, employers,
other community agencies, and
women interested in construction
and other skilled trades. Depend
ing on the needs in that particular
community, the local YWCA will
select among a wide range of
services presented in the model
plan and will coordinate their
operation. Possible services in
clude some that can be offered by
the YWCAs themselves, such as job
counseling and referral. Others,
like legal counseling and on-site
exposure to skilled trade. jobs, will
be offered by other community
organizations or employers. A total
of 38 communities throughout the
country will participate during the
first year
The Young Women's Christian
Association of the U.S.A.. with
a membership of two-and-a-half
million girls and women of all
ages, ethnic and socioeconomic
backgrounds, addresses the needs
of women and their communities
