A study of hospital care in New York City that summarizes the trends in hospital care during the generation in which the original Hospital Council was active in New York, discusses the prominent issues in hospital care in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and acts as a factual base for the future planning of hospital care and as a prototype of the variety and levels of information and analysis that may be required to achieve effective planning in the enlarged fourteen-county area served by the new Hospital Review and Planning Council.
