The Optimum System for Providing Printed Forms at Presbyterian Hospital, Dallas, Texas
Abstract
The problem was to determine the optimal method for obtaining printed forms for Presbyterian Hospital, Dallas, Texas. This study was based upon information from records at Presbyterian Hospital; from interviews with printers and printing equipment salesmen; from interviews with hospital officials with a printshop; and from articles in various business and hospital publications. The study revealed three basic methods by which the hospital could obtain printed forms: (1) purchasing all forms, (2) printing all forms, and (3) buying unit-set forms and printing only cut forms in a hospital printshop. These three methods were compared with regard to requirements of equipment, personnel, and space. Advantages and disadvantages of each method were discussed. The report recommends that Presbyterian Hospital continue the present policy of purchasing all forms. When the printing bill for cut forms reaches $25,000 annually, then consideration should be given to establishing a limited printshop which could print all cut forms.
