[Considerations on the rationalisation of an eye clinic (author's transl)]

The actual economical problems of hospital management demand critical considerations on the possibilities of rationalisation. Regarding the activities on an university eye-clinic in a big city the realisation of certain facilities could be well obtained: a decrease of the number of in-patients by treating of suitable cases as out-patients; shortening of the time of hospitalisation according to the progress of modern surgical and medical treatment; arrangment of departments for treating patients during the day in cases requiring intensive treatment and follow-up after full hospitalisation.
