CONFHRENCE REPORT

i

Lee D. Cady, Jr., M.D., Chairman of JAREA V COMMITTEE ON SYSTEMS AND COMPUTERS,
attended the "Symposium on Health" gdponsored by the Operations Research Society
of America (known as ORSA) held May {14-16 at the campus of the National Bureau
of Standards in Gaithersburg, Maryldnd. He reports:

 

"The audience was composed primarily ot ORSA members, of which 200 are members
of its Health Applications Section-+only a few representatives of RMP were
present. John R. Hall, who is ‘in charge of the grants program in Health Services
Research and Development in the Hs of HEW, was prominent in the organizing
committee of this conference. | .

i
>| :
alf-day sessions,to give ORSA's response to
Manpower and The Commission on Health
Facilities, Each session began with a presentation concerning problems in medical
care by a Chairman of one of the Confmission's Committees, followed by a speaker
representing the viewpoint of specidlists in operations research. The Commission
Reports recommended combining the offfices of RMP and Comprehensive Health Planning
and many of the discussants had similar thoughts while at the same time recognizing

the overwhelming proportion of deatlf from heart disease, cancer and stroke.

"The meeting was presented in five
two reports--The Commission or Heal

 
 
  

"There were additional presentations and discussions of data from ongoing projects,
for example, economic models of medical cage costs and benefits. I found the ideas

of a number of the speakers to be ngw and interesting.

. i
"The meeting was an excellent guided tour through the reports of these Commissions
