Excerpt from Bulletin of the American College of Surgeons, Vol. 10: January, 1926 The visit of the surveyor is preceded by a letter informing the hospital of the prospective visit and the probable date thereof. In the early surveys a definite propaganda by advance correspondence and circulars prepared the hospital authorities, and did much to gain their support. I speak of all of this detail because it must not be taken for granted that our work could have been successful if we had not cultivated amicable relations first, and avoided, notwithstanding our inexperience, any semblance of unwarranted authority. Our work was accomplished without friction because we were successful in creating and maintaining a sympathetic public opinion. The primary survey was begun in 1918. It was confined to the hospitals of one hundred beds and over. The first preliminary report of the survey was to have been made at the hospital conference in connection with the Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons that was to have occurred in New York in November, 1918. This Congress was postponed because of the epidemic of influenza. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
