AB TWENTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF HOSPITAL DATA BY THE COUNCIL ON MEDICAL EDUCATION AND HOSPITALS OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATIONBy F. H. Arestad, M.D., and Mary A. McGovernThe present Annual Report on Hospital Service in the United States for 1948 is based on information received from individual hospitals registered by the American Medical Association. Uniformity in reporting is accomplished through the distribution of annual census blanks prepared by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals in collaboration with the American College of Surgeons. These forms are sent to all registered hospitals, which in turn supply information either for the calendar year or for the latest twelve month period for which statistics are available. As in previous years the active participation and response of nearly 98 per cent of all registered hospitals  is continued evidence of the excellent cooperation which the American Medical Association receives in the hospital field.
