A pronostics for hospitals : the effects of population change on the need for hospital space, 1967-2031 / L.A. Lefebvre, Z. Zsigmond, M.S. Devereaux.: CS83-520/1979E-PDF
"A major concern in Canada today is the rising public expenditure on health care. Hospitals are the most costly sector in the health care delivery system, representing just under 50% of total health expenditures in 1975. In the mid-1970's, the respective capital (excluding land) and operating costs were $50,000 per bed and $125 per patient-day. Furthermore, with more than four million hospital admissions each year, at an average of almost 11 days, hospital services in 1975 amounted to $5.3 billion or 3.3% of G.N.P. It is important, therefore, to gain some appreciation of how these costs might change in the future."--Preface, p. [3].
