Abstract

A project by Rhode Island Health Services Research (SEARCH) to develop, adapt, and improve data systems in several Rhode Island long-term care settings includes skilled nursing and intermediate care facilities, two chronic care hospitals, mental health institutions, and home health agencies. A successful medical review system was developed for Medicaid nursing home patients which is now a program funded by the state, as well as a good abstracting system for the two chronic hospitals. Also, steps were taken to correct omissions and inaccuracies found in mental health data used in the Multi-State Information System (MSIS), and to modify a limited management information system used by home health agencies. In retrospect, the project would have been better served had it attempted to be less comprehensive and instead focused its resources in areas of high visibility and unequivocal public concern. The approach would have given the state population-based information of much greater power than is currently available, despite the recognized successes of the project in the nursing home and chronic hospital areas.

19. STABILITY OF TOBACCO-MOSAIC VIRUS, MARMOR TABACIH, IN SOLUTIONS DILUTED BEYOND THE END POINT OF INFECTIVITY

Abstract

Thornberry, H. H. (University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill.) and B. B. Nagaich. Stability of tobacco-mosaic virus, Marmor tabaciH, in solutions diluted beyond the end point of infectivity. J. Bacteriol. 83:1322–1326. 1962.—Tobacco-mosaic virus (TMV) in crude plant extract and in a partially purified preparation was diluted in distilled water, 0.1 mpotassium phosphate buffer, and 0.1 msodium chloride beyond detectable infectivity by usual assays on 12 primary leaves of Scotia beans, Phaseolus vulgarisL. All assays were made with inoculum containing abrasive at pH 8.5 in 0.1 mphosphate buffer. Infectious virus was recovered from each highly diluted solution (10 liters at pH 7.5 and 4 C for 24 hr) by adsorption at pH 2.5 on Celite particles and desorption at pH 8.5 and 40 C with 100 or 150 ml of 0.1 mphosphate buffer. Thus, TMV is not irreversibly inactivated by such dilutions. To ascertain the infectivity of the virus at high dilutions, TMV in crude plant extracts at three dilutions (10−6, 10−7, and 10−8) was assayed on bean leaves (12 leaves for 10−6, 120 leaves for 10−7, and 1,200 leaves for 10−8). Infection was obtained from each diluted inoculum (10−6, 26 total local lesions; 10−7, 30; and 10−8, 22). These data support the conclusions that TMV remains infectious at high dilutions and that the failure to obtain infection beyond the end point of infectivity by usual assays is owing to sparsity of infectious virus rather than to viral inactivation. In addition, they suggest that a single viral particle is capable of infecting a susceptible site.

Abstract

This paper discusses one approach for Health Systems Agencies to focus their information acquisition and analysis activities on subjects which will be most helpful to them in gaining visibility and credibility, while also offering opportunities for identifying and quantifying the most serious problem confronting them--the rapid rise in health care expenditures. Assembling information on health care expenditures will have the additional benefit of allowing the planning agencies to isolate and monitor the possible effects which their actions may have on changes in health care costs. This may become particularly critical in a few years when the Congress and HEW are less patient and more insistent that evidence of clear cost control benefits will have to be produced if the nation is to continue to invest in health planning. In general, as health care costs have continued to climb, serious questions have been raised about the ability of the taxpayers, employees, and employers, through insurers, to continue to pay for even the health services and benefits now available. At a minimum, severe fiscal pressures will seriously threaten existing entitlements and coverage. Health planning could be a major tool to reduce cost inflation and protect other social and health programs while simultaneously permitting the introduction of needed and desirable innovations. Health planning could be a significant instrument for shifting health system investments, especially capital investments, into those areas which may produce more health at the margin than current expenditures.
