Noting the increasing nationwide concern with factors relating to rising health care costs, the Association of American Medical Colleges surveyed 119 U.S. medical schools in the summer of 1978 to ascertain the degree of program activity in the area of cost containment education. A 100 percent response was achieved. An analysis of this data indicates that considerable activity is underway. Forty-one institutions (34 percent) have programs underway or planned specifically to teach health care cost containment to undergraduate medical students or residents or both. The majority of such programs were introduced during the past two years. The costs of such programs are fairly modest, averaging $22,680 per year. Respondents indicated that further activities might be enhanced by development of a primer for faculty and students on elements of cost containment education and the organization of a series of regional workshops related to this subject.
鉴于全国范围内对与医疗保健成本上升相关因素的关注度不断提高，美国医学院协会于1978年夏季对119所美国医学院进行了调查，以确定成本控制教育领域的项目活动程度。收到了100%的回复。对这些数据的分析表明，相关活动正在大量开展。41所机构（34%）正在开展或计划专门为本科医学生或住院医师或两者教授医疗保健成本控制的项目。大多数此类项目是在过去两年内推出的。这些项目的成本相当适度，平均每年22,680美元。受访者表示，编写一本针对教师和学生的成本控制教育要素入门手册以及组织一系列与此主题相关的区域研讨会，可能会推动进一步的活动。
