It is aimed at helping small rural hospitals which often have trouble keeping available beds filled with patients while many people could benefit by extended care during recuperation, convalescence or rehabilitative times of recovery. For example, a typical rural Utah hospital might have 30 beds but with only an average occupancy of 16 beds. Under UCIP such an in- stitution might retain more te patients duringthe recovery instead of sending them home or to a nursing home out of the community. Under UCIP the patient can receive most needed health care in his own community under his local doctor and be near his family and friends during his entire recovery. It is anticipated that such non-acu- long term care patients would not only fill empty beds but also spread the fixed overhead cost over a larger number of people ami eventually lead to a lower per patient cost. It is also believed the fin- ancial stability of the smaller hospitals will be improved. The project relaxes the restrictions placement on patient under certain conditions and opens the way for small hospitals to develop long term patient facilities which offer a lower level of care similar to comprehensive care in some communities. Such a project will also help maintain patients near . their home areas and pro- vide more efficient continuity of care by retaining the patient under the same phy- sician. The project was established through a research find from the Social Security Administration, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and the Department of Social Services, State Division of Health. Governing Board for the project is comprised of two members of the State Hospital Association, two members from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Utah, two members from the Division of Health, a member from the Utah Medical Association and a member fromtheSocialSec-urit- y Administration. It is estimated that over one-ha- lf of the community hospitals in theUnitedStates are less than 100 beds in size and over 400 hospitals certified by Medicare have ham City; Fillmore LDS in Fillmore; Gunnison Valley in Gunnison; Juab County in Nephi; Monument Valley in Monument Valley; Panguitch LDS IN 2 Coalville, Utah Feb. 7, Thursday, 1974 Panguitch; Payson City in Payson; San Juan in MonticeUo; Sanpete LDS in Mt.
