Fisher Patient Care Wing which will feature the most up-to- date hospital equipment and op- erations syste min the country. Construction of the $10,200,000 wing began April 1, 1969, and was made p o s si b 1 e by an initial $500,000 gift from the Fisher fam- ily. The four-story, 150,000-square- foot facility will be ready for part- ial occupancy on July 1 starting with a 17-bed operating suite and materials management center on the ground floor, a 12-bed surgical intensive care unit on the second floor and '75 private and semi-pri- vate beds on the third floor. The rest of the building will be phased into operation over the next several months, Sydney C. Peimer, hospital administrator, stated. In addition to the operating suite, the ground floor will contain a 16-bed preoperative holding area and a Z6-bed recovery room. . Both of them will be adjacent to the operating suite which will sub- stantially reduce delays in moving patients in and out of the operating room. "Hospitals average about a 55 per cent operating room utiliza- tion," Preimer said. "We expect this to increase Jo :- nearly 80 per cent Whic114W;h6-10:=4,0- 'improve efficiefi*dlice: 7-costs."

United States," he said A Central _supply system will contribute to greater operatin room efficiency, he said.- Under this system, a day's supply of sur- gical instruments will be kept in a separate holding area outside the operating room. In most hospitals, instrument sets are assembled in the operating room just prior to the procedure. A unit dose program will be im- plemented in the Fisher Wing. This will provide for the prepar- don of each patient's individual dose of.. medication in the phar- macy for subsequent delivery to the nursing unit where it will then be administered by the nurse. Traditionally, quantities of medi- cation are stored on the patient floor where doses are prepared by the nurse following a physi- cian's order. Later in the summer, the hospi- tal will open 68 private and semi- private beds on the second floor of the new wing as well as first floor facilities including an admit- ting area with waiting room and individual interview areas, a med- ■ ical records department, a steno- graphic pool, social services and business offices, and an opthal- mology clinic. The wing will increase the to- tal bed capacity at Sinai to 619 and increase hospital admissions by 5,000 to approximately 20,- 000 per year. More than 400 employes will be required for staffing, which will raise the total number of Sinai e m p l o y e s to more than 1,900 including full and part time. Sinai opened with an initial 210 beds in January 1953. Since then it has grown into a major medi- cal complex with extensive facili- ties for research and professional training.

Look Editor Defends Interview With Prinz NEW YORK (JTA) --- Gerald Astor, the Look magazine senior editor who has been criticized by Dr. Joachim Prinz for allegedly - distorting" his comments for use in the a r ticl e "The Agonized American Jews," said that the quotations printed were all docu- mented in the notes he took during their three-hour interview. "I respect him greatly," said Astor of Dr. Prinz, former presi- dent of the American Jewish Con- gress, when queried by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, "but when a man speaks at great length," not all his remarks can he published. Astor added that "I don't feel that I have seriously missed some- thing that he said." On one specific complaint of Dr. Prinz's, that he was not, as al- leged, "a 1937 graduate of solitary confinement in a Nazi concentra- tion camp," Astor said his notes showed that Dr. Prinz left Ger- many after experiencing "solitary confinement in a Nazi jail." ■ ■ ciriesit the NewFacilities eWilson-Cri sgman Cadillac, Inc.
