SOME FACTORS AFFECTING HEALTH MANPOWER ARE (1) DEVELOPMENTS IN DIAGNOSIS AND PATIENT CARE, INCLUDING AUTOMATED CLINICAL LABORATORY EQUIPMENT, IMPROVED SURGICAL TECHNIQUES AND EQUIPMENT, AND THE USE OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER IN DIAGNOSIS,(2) HOSPITAL INFORMATION HANDLING, ESPECIALLY THE APPLICATION OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER, (3) IMPROVEMENT IN HOSPITAL SUPPLIES AND SERVICES, INCLUDING THE USE OF DISPOSABLE iTEMS AND IMPROVED MATERIALS HANDLING EQUIPMENT, AND (4) IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANAGEMENT AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF HEALTH FACILITIES FOR BETTER UTILIZATION OF PERSONNEL, EQUIPMENT, AND SPACE. IN GENERAL, CHANGING TECHNOLOGY WILL AFFECT HEALTH MANPOWER GRADUALLY. LABORSAVING INNOVATIONS WILL PROBABLY NEITHER CAUSE WORKERS TO LOSE THEIR JOBS NOR ALLEVIATE HEALTH MANPOWER SHORTAGES. CONTENT OF HEALTH JOBS WILL CHANGE, AND NEW JOBS WILL APPEAR AS NEW EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES ARE INTRCDUCED, BUT THE DEMANDS FOR WORKERS WITH NEW SKILLS WILL PROBABLY NOT OUTSTRIP THE CAPACITY FOR TRAINING THEM UNDER WIDELY RECOMMENDED LONG-RANGE PLANS. ANTICIPATED EMPLOYMENT GROWTH FROM 1965 TO 1975 IS 75 PERCENT FOR X -RAY TECHNICIANS, 60 PERCENT FOR MEDICAL LABORATORY PERSONNEL, 55 PERCENT FOR REHABILITATION AND OTHER TECHNICIANS, AND MORE THAN 40 PERCENT FOR NURSING PERSONNEL.
