THE EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC REMEDIES IN THE HOSPITAL

THE EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC REMEDIES IN THE HOSPITAL The title of this address should be interpreted as a plea and a program for work, and not as a record of accomplishment, for the evaluation of therapeutic remedies is not usually among the features to which hospital authorities point with just pride of achievement. The few notable examples, such as the establishment of the clinical value of insulin and of liver extract, arouse attention because they are really great, but also because they are exceptional. They may serve to illustrate the peculiar service which hospitals may render in this direction. The concentration of clinical material, in one place and at one time, makes it feasible to conduct tests in a shorter period than would be possible in private practice. This means not only an intensification of interest but also the possibility of comparisons of variations which are being observed simultaneously, or at least while recent impressions are still fresh http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association

Abstract

The title of this address should be interpreted as a plea and a program for work, and not as a record of accomplishment, for the evaluation of therapeutic remedies is not usually among the features to which hospital authorities point with just pride of achievement. The few notable examples, such as the establishment of the clinical value of insulin and of liver extract, arouse attention because they are really great, but also because they are exceptional. They may serve to illustrate the peculiar service which hospitals may render in this direction. The concentration of clinical material, in one place and at one time, makes it feasible to conduct tests in a shorter period than would be possible in private practice. This means not only an intensification of interest but also the possibility of comparisons of variations which are being observed simultaneously, or at least while recent impressions are still fresh
