Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the groundbreaking concept of the "End Result System" in early 20th-century healthcare. The author, a surgeon, passionately argues for a system of accountability and analysis within hospitals, where patient outcomes are meticulously tracked and evaluated. This revolut…ionary approach challenges the prevailing norms of medical practice, where prestige and reputation often overshadowed the actual effectiveness of treatments. The narrative unfolds through a series of detailed case reports, each meticulously documented with the patient's condition, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term results. These accounts serve as both a testament to the author's surgical skill and a stark illustration of the need for a standardized system of evaluation. The author's incisive critiques of the medical establishment expose the reluctance of hospitals and physicians to embrace transparency and accountability, highlighting the potential consequences for patient well-being. The book's exploration of medical ethics, the role of hospitals in society, and the nascent field of outcomes research offers a thought-provoking glimpse into a pivotal period in medical history. The author's visionary call for a patient-centric approach to healthcare, where success is measured by the "end result" of treatment, continues to resonate in the present day, making this book a timeless and essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Ajouter au panierSoft cover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. 179 pp; printed slip tipped in at title page (see photo). LACKING LOOSE FOLDING CHART. Original printed wrappers. Wrappers crinkled, creased, with discoloration (see photos). Newspaper photo of Codman glued to p. 3. Good. First Edition. "Thomas Todd Co. Printers Boston" is printed at the bot…tom of the rear wrapper in small type (see photo). The printed slip (tipped in at the title page, see photo): "This Report will be sent gratis to any member of the American College of Surgeons or to any member of the Massachusetts Medical Society. To others the price will be one dollar. When you are through with this copy, kindly hand it to some other person preferably to a Hospital Trustee". This is the third, and final, report by Codman on "hospital efficiency" and his "end result" idea. His first report, on the first two years in his private hospital, was issued in May 1914; the second report on the next two years was issued in October 1915; and this third report on the first five years was issued either in late 1917 or early 1918 (there is a review of the third report in a medical journal in January 1918, so we know it was available no later than January 1918). All three reports were privately printed for Codman by Thomas Todd Co., printer in Boston. Todd is not mentioned on the title page, but the Todd imprint is on the rear wrapper, in small type, at the bottom of each report (see photo for this third report). In his famous book The Shoulder (1934, also privately printed for Codman by Thomas Todd), Codman stated that he still had "many copies" of his third report. Six years later, in 1940, Codman died. At that time, remaining copies of the third report were bound in blue cloth, with a pouch on the inside of the rear cover to hold the large folding chart, and distributed at Codman's request. The blue cloth copies have a printed label stating "This book is sent to you as an officer of the Massachusetts General Hospital, in fulfillment of a special request made by Dr. Codman shortly before his death on November 23rd, 1940." This blue cloth issue is sometimes called the first edition, but this is not correct. Although the sheets and the folding table are original, the blue cloth version is a later issue from 1940. The original edition of the third report is in printed wrappers [offered here]. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT LARGE, FOLDING CHART: Codman's first two reports did not contain a large, folding chart. The chart was added to the third report. As Codman states on p. 69 of the third report, this chart was "loose": "In this large chart which I present to you (see loose leaf). . . ." UNFORTUNATELY this loose leaf is missing in the copy offered here. Garrison-Morton 1664.1 (citing the first report by Codman in 1914): "Pioneer application of efficiency engineering principles to hospital administration, made over a two year period. Codman was responsible for the 'end result idea'. This revolutionary concept, which seems so obvious today, was that a hospital should follow every patient it treats long enough to determine whether or not the treatment was successful. If the treatment was not successful the cause of failure should be determined in order to prevent similar failures in the future. Codman was exceptionally outspoken in his views." I have quoted only the beginning of the Garrison-Morton entry, which can be found online for free. The remainder of the entry details the publication history of the three reports by Codman on "hospital efficiency".

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. First thus. 8vo. 179 pp. Large, folding statistical chart in pocket affixed to the inside of the rear cover. Bound in gilt stamped blue cloth. Laid in is the printed label: "This book is sent to you as an officer of the Massachusetts General Hospital, in fulfillment of a special request made…by Dr. Codman shortly before his death on November 23rd, 1940." The sheets and chart are the original first printing from 1918, published in wrappers, (hence we are calling it a first thus) and the binding Codman, who had multiple copies of this third and final of three hospital reports, had done in 1940. Technically, however, this is not the true first edition in that it was bound at a date much later than the initial publication. From Wikipedia about Codman, and I quote: "He was an advocate of hospital reform and is the acknowledged founder of what today is known as outcomes management in patient care. Codman was the first American doctor to follow the progress of patients through their recoveries in a systematic manner. He kept track of his patients via 'End Result Cards' which contained basic demographic data on every patient treated, along with the diagnosis, the treatment he rendered, and the outcome of each case. Each patient was followed up on for at least one year to observe long-term outcomes. It was his lifelong pursuit to establish an 'end results system' to track the outcomes of patient treatments as an opportunity to identify clinical misadventures that serve as the foundation for improving the care of future patients. He also believed that all of this information should be made public so that patients could be guided in their choices of physicians and hospitals." A couple of very small tears at the fold junctions on the fold-out else fine in a bright, fine binding. Uncommon.

Ajouter au panierSoft cover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. 27, [1] pp. Original wrappers Near Fine. First Edition. OCLC does not locate any copies, although Harvard does have a copy. The first of three reports by E. A. Codman on "Hospital Efficiency." On May 20, 1914, Codman gave an invited talk at the 39th annual meeting of the American Gyneco…logical Society. It was published in volume 39 of their Transactions, entitled, "Study on Hospital Efficiency as Represented by Product". In the Preface to his book The Shoulder (1934), Codman refers to his talk: "my 'Study on Hospital Efficiency,' which was presented in May, 1914, at a meeting of the American Gynecological Society, where it was well received and published in their transactions (Vol. 39) of that year. In this study I was able to use the cases which had been at my own hospital from its opening, August 25, 1911, to July 30, 1913, as a practical example of the operation of the End Result Idea." In the journal publication, pages 60-95 are Codman's text, with pp. 95-100 being discussion of Codman's paper as well as a paper by Robert L. Dickinson on "Efficiency Systems". The publication offered here is a privately-printed version, identical in content to the version published in the journal. The Boston printer Thomas Todd printed all three of Codman's reports on "Hospital Efficiency", as well as Codman's book The Shoulder (1934). In the Preface to The Shoulder Codman writes of Thomas Todd: "There is a firm of printers in Boston, old and respected, and noted for its reliable work. Thomas Todd and Company are not publishers, although they have printed many books, usually for private circulation. They have not interfered with what I have written, but have painstakingly, graciously and cheerfully aided me in every way. Their staff and employees have shown the greatest consideration for my foibles and fussiness, and have let me superintend, in every detail, the arrangement of the text, charts, tables and illustrations. They are not to be censured for any of the offences herein displayed, against conventional book structure or content, and are only responsible for the printing, and for loaning the money to have it done. I hereby record my gratitude, and hope to return the money." The date of May 10th, 1914, is printed on the last page of the text. That date precedes by ten days the date of Codman's talk. I do not know when this separately-printed version was available, but it may well have preceded the appearance of the journal publication. Codman's second report, also privately printed by Thomas Todd, is dated October 19, 1915, with the title "A Study in Hospital Efficiency as Demonstrated by the Second Two Years of a Private Hospital". Codman's third and final report, also privately printed by Thomas Todd, has the title "A Study in Hospital Efficiency as Demonstrated by the Case Report of the First Five Years of a Private Hospital". It was published without a date, but was available no later than January 1918. After Codman's death in 1940, the third report was reissued with the following printed note: "This book is sent to you as an officer of the Massachusetts General Hospital in fulfillment of a special request made by Dr. Codman shortly before his death on November 23rd 1940." This version was rebound in blue cloth. Garrison-Morton 1664.1 (citing this first report, 1914): "Pioneer application of efficiency engineering principles to hospital administration made over a five year period. Codman was responsible for the 'end result idea'. This revolutionary concept, which seems so obvious today, was that a hospital should follow every patient it treats long enough to determine whether or not the treatment was successful. If the treatment was not successful the cause of failure should be determined in order to prevent similar failures in the future. Codman was exceptionally outspoken in his views.".

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Bound in publisher's blue cloth. No date, presumed ca 1918. Hardcover. Fine binding and cover. A crisp, fresh copy. Clean, unmarked pages. 179 p. Folding chart on index of cases combined with statistical tables using anatomic and pathologic classification of diseases and operations in…pocket in back. Dr. Ernest Amory Codman was an influential proponent of the "End Result Idea." "The 'Idea' was simply the premise that hospital staffs would follow every patient they treat long enough to determine whether or not the treatment was successful, then learn from any failures, and how to avoid those situations in the future. Surprisingly controversial at the time, the "Idea" was the basis for the Hospital Standardization movement founded by the American College of Surgeons, and the precursor to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH)." - American College of Surgeons, Ernest A. Codman, MD, FACS (1869-1940). Codman worked at Massachusetts General Hospital "as Surgeon to outpatients in 1899, and from 1902 to 1914 was an assistant visiting surgeon at the hospital." (Ibid). Codman printed End Result Cards and gave them to his patients to track demographics, follow up on the care given, and track long term outcomes. From 1913-1915 Codman taught at Harvard Medical School as a lecturer. He passionately advocated his End Result Idea in speeches to the Boston Medical Society at the Boston Medical Library in 1915. The presentation led to his dismissal from Massachusetts General Hospital and his resignation from the Standardization of Hospitals Committee, much to the chagrin of Drs. William and Charles Mayo. Codman controversially attacked the seniority based system at MGH and advocated transparency in admitting and addressing medical mistakes in the course of treatment to avoid repetition and increase the quality of care.
