Report on a Survey of CCU Design, Staffing, and Operating Policies.

M. A. Rockwell

Expert InsightsPublished 1970

Summary statistics on the design, staffing, and operating policies of coronary care units (CCU) at 91 West Coast hospitals. The data were collected as part of a CCU-effectiveness study for the California Committees on Regional Medical Programs. A six-page questionnaire was sent to each participating hospital in August 1970. The questionnaire data will be compared with the patient data collected using a system developed at RAND in 1968-70 for collecting and analyzing data on CCU patients. The objective is to better understand the interrelationships between CCU operating and staffing characteristics and unit effectiveness. 14 pp.
