11 BACKGROUND AND GOALS It was the intent of the legislation creating the Medical Care Commission in 1945 (General Statutes Chapter 131, Articles 13 and 13A) to set up a state agency to specialize in the planning, financing and construction of medical facilities throughout North Carolina and in the standardization of hospitals particularly, and to study ways and means of staffing the State's expanding medical programs. Through the years, the Commission has developed a close relationship with the state's community hospitals and is thought of as the agency technically staffed and oriented to advise with hospitals on their specialized requirements. The Commission is composed of twenty members. Three are nominated by the State Medical Society, one by the State Pharmaceutical Association, one by the North Carolina Nurses' Association, one by the State Hospital Association and one by The Duke Endowment. These nominations are subject to the approval of the Governor. In addition, eleven members, one of which by law must be a dentist, are appointed by the Governor directly so as to fairly represent agriculture, industry, labor and other appropriate consumer interests and groups in North Carolina. The State Health Director and the State Commissioner of Public Welfare are ex-officio members. The Commission regularly meets each quarter and additional meetings are held when necessary. Pursuant to Federal requirements, the Governor appoints a State Advisory Council composed of five members to advise with the Commission on technical matters relating especially to the planning and construction of medical facilities. The Council meets regularly with the Commission. During the biennia, the responsibilities of the Commission were divided into three major programs: S A. Planning and construction of hospitals, public health centers, diagnostic and treatment facilities for ambulatory patients, long-term chronic and convalescent extended care facilities including nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. Toward the end of 1965, under the auspices of Public Law , the Medical Care Commission was designated by the Governor to develop in cooperation with the State Department of Mental Health, the North Carolina Mental Health Council and th.? North Carolina Council on Mental Retardation a statewide plan for the construction of community mental health centers and facilities for the mentally retarded. B. Licensing of hospitals. The staff of this section also provides consultation services to assist hospitals in participating in the Medicare program. C. Loans to students enrolled in accredited programs of training in the health-related professions.

12 RECENT LEGISLATION Legislation passed by the General Assembly of 1965 affecting the Commission's programs provided under H. B. 360 Capital Improvement appropriations for medical facility construction grants. H. B included optometrists in the student loan and scholarship program. H. B. 876 furnished construction funds for facilities for the mentally retarded. H. B permitted transfer from the Department of Mental Health to the Commission of $500,000, if needed, as State grants for the construction of mental health centers. Other primary legislation passed by the 1967 General Assembly affecting the health field is summarized below: H. B appropriated to the State Board of Education funds for the training of nurses and dental hygienists in college programs. H. B. 532 authorized the issuance of additional hospital construction bonds, limited the time within which bonds may be issued and authorized the issuance of bond anticipation notes by a hospital district. H. B. 683 provided additional legislation authorizing the leasing of hospital facilities to nonprofit corporations. H. B authorized counties to expend non-tax funds to assist statelicensed facilities for the mentally retarded, whether publicly or privately owned and whether located within or outside of the county making available the tax funds. S. B. 408 appropriated funds to the Department of Mental Health for the construction and operation of two pilot community complexes for the mentally retarded. S. B. 73 appropriated to the State Board of Education funds for assisting hospital-sponsored nursing schools. House Resolution 1117 directed the Legislative Research Commission to study ways and means of providing more medical doctors for small towns. 9

13 NEW PERSONNEL With the inauguration of the two new Federal programs allocating funds to the State for the construction of mental health centers and facilities for the mentally retarded and as a result of the constantly expanding on-going construction program for community hospitals, health centers and other projects aided by the Hill-Burton Act, the Commission added to its staff a mechanical engineer, a hospital nursing consultant, an administrative aide, an additional architect and an additional hospital consultant. As a result of a contractual agreement entered into by the Commission with the State Board of Health to survey hospitals for the purpose of compliance with the Conditions of Participation under the Health Insurance for the Aged (Medicare) Program and to offer continuing service in areas of serious deficiencies, a medical records librarian consultant was added to the hospital licensing section. Because of the increasing demands being made upon the chief administrative officer and the need for someone to be delegated authority to act for him during extended absences from the office, the position of Assistant Executive Secretary was created and was filled by Mr. Ira O. Wilkerson, Jr., a long-time staff member. It should be noted that during the average recent year the Commission has been accountable for approximately $10,000,000 in direct appropriations to the agency and that its administrative budget during the last year of the biennia amounted to $ 196,000, or 1.8 percent of the total funds budgeted. 10

14 SECTION I Planning and Construction of Medical Facilities Twenty Years of Building An Overview It is doubtful that any of the State's social welfare institutions has undergone a more dramatic change both in numbers and patterns of sponsorship than have hospitals and related medical facilities during the past two decades. We have witnessed the complete demise of local tuberculosis facilities in favor of regional State-supported institutions. Likewise, emphasis in the past has been on the treatment of mental diseases predominantly at State-owned hospitals. But toward the end of the biennia, there was an increasing accent on psychiatric care at locally sponsored clinics. The change in the pattern and sponsorship of general hospital care, however, has been the most revolutionary. While the State's population increased about 47% between 1947 and 1967, the number of general and allied hospitals increased 11.5% and the number of beds increased 115%. The most significant change, however, has probably been in the mode of sponsorship of these facilities. Governmentally owned hospitals (state, county, city, etc.) increased during this period by 282%; while those facilities sponsored by nonprofit associations decreased 30% and the strictly proprietary hospitals decreased 24%. County-owned facilities by far show the greatest growth, as numerically they have increased during the 20-year span by 51 1 % and the number of beds they provided by 1500%! The contour of county ownership of hospitals in North Carolina is unique in the country. To support this surge in ownership, 52 different municipalities have voted on bond issues to provide capitalization of local facilities. There have been 86 separate bond issues submitted, of which all but 9 have passed. At the start of the Commission's construction program in 1947, there were 33 counties without general hospitals. Twenty years and 216 hospital projects later, there are only 15 of the 100 counties without a general hospital. Of the 445 total medical projects aided during the 20-year construction activity, 62 counties have been provided with 68 all-new general hospitals. The Commission has aided in the construction of 91 public health centers, 49 nurses' residences and schools of nursing projects, 21 diagnostic and treatment centers, 15 rehabilitation facilities, 34 long-term care projects, 2 projects expanding tuberculosis hospitals, 7 projects expanding mental hospitals, 7 mental health centers and 3 facilities for the mentally retarded. The State's Hill-Burton construction program ranks 1st in the nation in the total number of projects and in the number of general hospital projects approved. It ranks 7th in the number of beds constructed, 9th in total dollars encumbered 1 1

15 for capital improvements and 5th in total Federal funds expended. North Carolina ranks 6th from the top among the states in the percentage of Federal participation in the projects approved under the Hill-Burton Act. Just as dramatic has been the change in costs of hospital construction. During the first four years of the program the costs of all-new hospitals averaged $11,000 per bed and $19.00 per square foot. Hospital size during the period averaged about 500 square feet per bed. As hospitals recognized the advantages of total air conditioning, recovery rooms, physical therapy and enlargement in general of service areas to accommodate the increasing sophistication in equipment and services, costs have climbed. From 1953 through the average cost of Commission-aided all-new hospital projects increased to $13,130 per bed and $23.90 per square foot with attending expansion of average bed-area ratio to 545 square feet per bed. Thus, the average per-bed cost increased 19.3%; square foot cost, 25.8% and area per bed by 9% over the average for the previous four-year period. Between 1956 and 1959, there developed an increasing demand for intensive care units and the preference of two-bed accommodations over ward beds began to make inroads on design and hence on costs. During this three-year span, bed costs jumped to $15,183 per bed (an increase of 15.6%) over the averages cited above; square foot costs jumped to $26.46 (an increase of 10.7%) and area per bed increased to 578 square feet (an increase of 6%). The start of a building boom had a decided impact on costs during the period as average costs spurted to $19,010 per bed. or a 25.5% increase over costs of the preceding three-year period. Square foot costs rose to $29.12, a 10.1% increase. This period saw the introduction of more sophisticated service systems such as pneumatic tubes and other conveyors installed as labor-saving devices and the provision of total environmental control through larger and more intricate mechanical systems to accommodate cross-contamination. The square foot per-bed ratio increased to 651 square feet over the average for the preceding period, ajump of 12.6%. The period 1965 through 1967 felt the impact of rising costs thought to be due primarily to an increasingly active builder's market and heralded by the preference for more private rooms. During this period, the average per-bed cost rose to $22,583 over the preceding three years, an increase of 18.8%. Square foot costs averaged $31.52, an increase of 8.2%. Hospital size reached an average of 701 square feet per bed, an increase in area ratio of 6%. During these three years, construction costs for remodeling and expansion of existing hospital facilities jumped from $4.00 to $5.00 per square foot MORE than for new projects. Current planning reflects the demand or need for a larger proportion of accommodations in private rooms and at least one plant now on the drawing board calls for all private rooms. The average hospital now in planning in North Carolina has 763 square feet per bed and current estimates of average cost are projected at $26,400 per bed and $36.00 per square foot. One project currently in the design stage is expected to cost $30,000 per bed; another, over $40,000 per bed. While the State's average square foot cost for hospital construction for all-new projects has increased on an average of 3% for each of the past five years, the national average for this period is 13.6% above North Carolina's project costs. Unlike any prior period in the history of the Commission's construction program, proposals during the biennia reflecting extensive needs of many hospitals for modernization, expansion and replacement developed much beyond the

16 agency's resources to finance. There are obvious reasons for this accelerated demand. In earlier years, the principal needs arose in rural areas where few or no hospitals existed and these communities were primarily concerned with small facilities of under 100 beds. Thus, most of the meritorious projects could be accommodated with appropriations at hand. By contrast, in more recent years, as the rural areas were more nearly serviced, regional hospitals in the populous communities have become crowded or grown obsolete and have either required large expansion projects or replacement entirely. Moreover, many of the larger and costlier projects have arisen in counties which previously had not received funds under the Commission's construction program. Because of this fact and the great need represented by the proposals, the more urban areas are now commanding high priority and are utilizing extensive Federal and State appropriations. As examples, since 1958, the Commission has helped develop a new 540-bed hospital in Forsyth County at Winston-Salem, a sizable expansion project for the Charlotte Memorial Hospital at Charlotte, a new 250-bed hospital at Wilson, a new 200-bed facility at Hickory and a new 400-bed hospital at Wilmington except for Charlotte, all being in counties not previously assisted under the Hill-Burton program. Not only have the larger facilities absorbed more Commission capital but inflation has victimized the costs of these more recently developed projects. Volume of Construction As previously mentioned, the demand for hospital facilities and other health buildings is unprecedented. Federal appropriations to the Commission for construction of all types of medical facilities during the last biennium amounted to $23.5 million, an increase of 17.4% over the biennium For the biennia , total Federal appropriations amounted to $43.6 million, an increase of 31% over the prior four-year period while State appropriations during the last biennium were 89.3% less than those for the biennium The Commission approved 35 projects involving 1,787 beds and costing $44 million during the last biennium , an increase of 29.6% in number of projects, 37.5% in number of beds and 30.8% in dollar volume over the biennium. Bids were taken on 33 projects at a cost of $52 million during , an increase of 6% in number of projects and 16% in dollar volume over the prior two-year period Between 1963 and 1965, general hospital beds increased from 17,712 to 18,703 and by 1967 to 20,396, an increase of 15% during the last two biennia. Important Policy Revisions During the biennia, the Commission adopted several policies that have had important bearings upon the development of construction projects. These are summarized below: 13

17 Supporting Tax Levies Traditionally, the Commission has recommended that in governmentally sponsored hospital projects where bonds are voted for capital purposes there be submitted a proposal to authorize a tax levy to provide funds for underwriting operating deficits. While most bond issues have been favorably approved by the voters, there have been several instances in recent years where the supportive tax levy was turned down. Fearing that local facilities will lack the resources to finance opening expenses and operating deficits to be expected while the new hospital is becoming established, the Commission now requires that a tax levy sufficient to generate funds to bridge the gap between patient and other revenues and operating costs be passed in connection with the bond issue supplying matching funds for construction purposes. Municipally owned projects will henceforth not be approved for Commission participation unless tax levies are authorized. Applicants representing nonprofit corporations have traditionally been required to place in escrow sufficient funds to guarantee operating needs not covered by patient income. Priorities and Fund Limitations As project costs increased and as the rise in utilization of hospital facilities continued to create demand for expansion of existing institutions, it became apparent that the limited Federal funds to which the State is entitled would not be sufficient to finance all high priority proposals on the same basis that has prevailed in the past. In 1965, it became apparent that the cost of expected new applications that could use funds for general hospital and health center projects would require at least $10 million of Federal money in the succeeding fiscal year to which would be added about $2 million covering final installments on previously approved projects. Notwithstanding this pressure on the Commission, it was felt that the rate of 55% of participation with Federal funds then prevailing should not be reduced as such would tend to hurt the economically disadvantaged areas. On the other hand, it was apparent that a ceiling must be adopted so that all of the funds would not be allocated to just a few large, costly projects. Accordingly, the following positions were adopted as a means of aiding as many projects as possible on an equitable basis to permit the program to retain its statewide status: 1. Priority is given to applications of comparable need from service areas which have been assisted less recently. The number and frequency of projects previously aided by the Commission are to be taken into consideration also in determining the priority of the service area. 2. The maximum Federal allocation to an applicant from the appropriations to the State for any single fiscal year may not exceed $1 million. 3. The total Federal funds to an applicant for alteration and expansion of existing facilities may not exceed $2 million. 4. The total Federal funds to an applicant for the construction of an all-new facility may not exceed $3 million. 14 (Because of the limited State supplementary funds available in recent biennia, the Commission for several years has established a ceiling of $ 100,000 of State funds for any one project.)

18 5. Combined commitments for approved projects against future Federal allocations to the State may not exceed $3 million in any one fiscal year's appropriation for general purposes and may not exceed $2 million in any one fiscal year's appropriation for long-term care and diagnostic and treatment center projects combined and that projects requiring funding from more than one year's Federal allocations will be deferred until these maximums are reduced to the extent additional proposals can be considered. 6. Participation will be restricted to costs of basic facilities and features applying to the actual needs of the patients, and participation will be excluded from those features intended primarily to altering the appearance of buildings. Long-Range and Areawide Planning of Medical Facilities The preceding overview of project costs and accelerating demand for medical facilities demonstrates the urgency of more careful planning. For many years, the Commission has required each sponsor to develop long-range plans in connection with each project submitted for Federal and State grants. More recently, it has insisted that communities in which multiple medical facilities are located coordinate their planning so that each institution can more efficiently serve the public and reduce the duplication and costs of both construction and operation. During the biennia, the Commission became eligible to assign Federal grants to assist areawide health planning councils in developing a more coordinated community hospital program. Grants totaling $73,000 were made to the Health Planning Council for Central North Carolina at Durham to plan for medical facilities in Durham, Orange and Wake counties, and the Citizens Planning Council of Forsyth County. Similar planning agencies were developed in Asheville and in Charlotte but these did not request Federal planning grants. Toward the latter part of the biennia, other health planning entities were created in Western North Carolina under the auspices of other Federal programs, notably, the State of Franklin Health Council embracing Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties and the Regional Health Council of Eastern Appalachia to serve Burke, Caldwell and McDowell counties. Modernization of Medical Facilities During fiscal , Federal funds were allocated for the first time specifically to assist medical facilities to modernize their physical plants as a means of continuing the use of older buildings by increasing their optimum safety and efficiency. In order for the State to qualify for these special grants, the Commission was required to inventory all of the hospital buildings in the State and to furnish data to the Public Health Service showing those elements pointing up obsolescence. As a result of this inventory. North Carolina has been able to receive additional Federal funds specifically to modernize existing health facilities. 15

19 Mental Health Centers and Facilities for the Mentally Retarded Federal funds became available during the biennia under Public Law to provide for the construction of mental health centers and facilities for the mentally retarded. The State Department of Mental Health developed a statewide plan for the construction of mental health centers which divided the State into catchment areas, in most instances consisting of several counties for planning purposes, as under the Federal formula facilities must serve a population of not less than 75,000. Under a mutually developed arrangement, the State Department of Mental Health approves the operating programs of the centers and then the proposal is referred to the Medical Care Commission for processing the construction application and architectural and engineering studies. The Commission adopted the formula allowing Federal participation to the extent of 63% of approvable project costs; 22% with State funds, or a maximum of $50,000 to any one project; and 15% with local funds. The local authorities are responsible for furnishing the site. The North Carolina Mental Health Council, at the invitation of the Commission, appointed an advisory committee to assist in recommending projects under the program. Slowness in developing Federal guidelines for the program resulted in a delay in developing construction,projects during the biennia. However, as of June 30, 1967, two mental health center projects were under construction and five others were approved for construction to commence after July 1, The North Carolina Council on Mental Retardation in a similar manner has prepared a state plan for building facilities for the mentally retarded under the Federal program. An advisory committee composed of representatives from the Council was created to assist the Commission in reviewing building proposals for these much-needed projects. The same rates of participation were authorized as for mental health centers. At the end of the biennia. three projects had been approved for construction. Bids for these are expected to be taken after July I,

58 SECTION II THE HOSPITAL LICENSING PROGRAM In June 1964, the Commission revised its licensing regulations and procedures with the assistance of the Department of Hospital Administration at the University of North Carolina, the Council on Hospital Planning of the North Carolina Hospital Association, the State Board of Health, the Fire Marshal's office of the State Insurance Department and the State Board of Pharmacy. The amended procedures have been well accepted by hospitals in the State and have received national commendation. The Commission is continually studying and evaluating licensing standards in the light of constantly changing factors that influence hospital design and operation. As an example, a study was recently initiated on the use of carpeting in hospitals. With the advice of a panel of recognized consultants and specialists, the Commission has established specifications restricting usage of carpets and defining areas in which their use is acceptable for licensing purposes. In April 1966, The State Board of Health contracted with the Medical Care Commission to conduct surveys of hospitals not accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals for purposes of determining their eligibility for certification as participants in the Federal Health Insurance for the Aged Program (Medicare). Approximately 60 surveys of non-accredited hospitals were conducted between April and June 30, Of this group, 45 hospitals are currently certified. In addition to the initial surveys, the contract provides for follow-up consultation to aid hospitals in retaining certification. At the end of the last biennium, there were 146 hospitals certified for participation in the Medicare program, this number including both accredited and nonaccredited hospitals and representing 19,117 beds. Of the available hospital beds in the State, 97% are certified for Medicare purposes. Many of the hospitals surveyed need guidance in maintaining adequate medical records. As a means of furnishing this assistance, the Commission employed a registered medical record librarian in March An additional nurse is to be employed to assist hospitals with their nursing problems. A need was indicated in 1963 for the State Board of Pharmacy to develop and promulgate rules and regulations applying to hospital pharmacy registration and for the Board and the Commission to clarify and coordinate their respective responsibilities in upgrading drug administration and distribution practices in licensed hospitals. It was concluded that hospitals which were compounding and/ or dispensing medications as defined by G. S must secure the services of a pharmacist to supervise the drug services to enable the hospital to register its pharmacy in accordance with State statutes. The regulations as presently drawn 55

59 permit the issuance of a "limited service permit," allowing smaller hospitals not needing the services of a full-time pharmacist to comply with statutory requirements. Procedures were mutually agreed upon whereby the Commission will conduct the pharmacy surveys and provide the Board of Pharmacy reports on findings. The Board then will work with the hospitals in obtaining registration. At the same time, a plan of assistance to develop and improve hospital pharmacy service in North Carolina was jointly sponsored by the North Carolina Association of Hospital Pharmacists, the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy, the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association, the North Carolina Hospital Association and the Medical Care Commission with the cooperation of the School of Pharmacy at Chapel Hill. A pharmacist was employed to head the assistance program. As a result of all of these efforts and the excellent cooperation of the hospitals, the number of registered pharmacies in licensed hospitals has increased from 37 in 1963 to 80 at the end of the last biennium. Pursuant to legislation enacted in 1963, the Commission strengthened its surveillance program for hospital X-ray facilities. The majority of the surveys are conducted by the Commission's staff. However, reports of surveys made by qualified physicists are acceptable to the Commission for licensing purposes. As of June 1967, instrumentation surveys had been completed on all hospitals except those that were surveyed by radiation physicists. As of January 1967, there were 150 hospitals in the State that were eligible to be considered for accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. Among this number, I 1 1 were actually accredited representing 74% of all of the hospitals and 88% of eligible beds. This high percentage of hospitals meeting the Joint Commission's requirements has made it easier for the majority of the hospitals to meet Medicare requirements.

61 SECTION III EDUCATIONAL LOANS FOR MEDICAL AND RELATED STUDIES Twenty-two years ago North Carolina inaugurated a plan through which it hoped to supply more family doctors to the more rural communities. The need continues, yet the urgency for manpower exists in other health fields and areas as well. Cognizant of a sweeping problem, the 1965 General Assembly passed legislation consolidating and unifying all previous laws applying to this loan program and further structured H.B. 478 so as to provide more flexibility in administration of the program. The new law was designed to stimulate more financially needy state residents to enter or continue in medical and related studies and to provide their services to areas of critical shortages in return for the financial assistance made available by these loans for their professional education. Two years later, as of June 30, the Medical Care Commission had processed over 55% more applications than for all the previous 20 years of the program's existence, and over 130% more applications than for the prior biennium. The fields of pharmacy, nursing, medical technology and dentistry represent the most notable increases. Medicine showed almot 100% increase over the biennium, but was the same as the biennium. Social work remained the same and nurse anesthesia dropped 25%. The new fields of study approved in June, 1965 (i. e., psychology, dietetics, medical records library science, medical recreation, optometry and physical therapy) all had loan recipients with physical therapy leading the group in number of applications approved with six recipients. By December 1, 1966, well over 600 recipients had attended 32 different colleges or universities and 26 hospital schools. Students, now having a free choice of schools, have been scattered in schools over 15 states. Thirty-four different North Carolina educational institutions have enrollees under the program. The rate of attrition has dropped from 12.6% at the end of the biennium to 10.5% as of June 30, There were 7 withdrawals 1 in nursing and 1 academic failure. Pharmacy had no academic failures. The true effectiveness to the State of the $650,000 encumbered over the last two years to assist students in completing their training will be difficult to assess for some time. Although there are more recipients practicing in pharmacy, nursing, nurse anesthesia and medical technology than there were on June 30, 1965, there was a decline of practitioners in medicine and dentistry. The field of medicine has 56% fewer practitioners than at the end of both previous bienniums; the decrease for dentistry was only 2 students, or 13.8%. The current program is not designed to attract those interested in medical specializations unsuited to Changed major field of study 2 students; left North Carolina due to marriage 3 students; and financial and/or personal reasons 2 students.

62 areas of service approved by the Commission, nor for those interested specifically in urban locations, but it must be recognized that over the long period of training many will be motivated to goals other than those which will qualify under this program. Likewise, the attractive interest rates of 2% and 4% prevailing for notes executed prior to June, 1965 may have been an enticement to borrow regardless of the service commitment which could be altered. The nursing field recorded a 300% increase in practitioners in June, 1965 over 1963 and a 75% gain in 1967 over It is encouraging to observe that nursing students are potential candidates to give service to the State in the next biennium, a tremendous increase over the current 20 nursing recipients who are in practice. Instead of the 35% increase for "in practice" recipients in all fields as shown for the biennium ended June 30, 1967, the Medical Care Commission predicts at least a 100% jump in services rendered to the State by loan recipients during the next two years. There were no failures on North Carolina Board examinations for nurses among the baccalaureate graduates and less than a 10% failure rate for "first-takers" for diploma and associate degree recipients. Based on a study completed in 1966, of the 625 recipients who had been provided assistance from the program only 20.4% returned to their home county to practice. This represented 41 out of 100 counties. By field of study, pharmacy and nurse anesthesia were the only areas where over 50% of the students returned to their home county to give service in accordance with their loan agreements. Medicine was one of the lowest of all fields with 23.1%. Figures are based only on students who were eligible to practice and do not include those who were involved in some additional phase of their training and/or military service. The changes adopted by the Medical Care Commission during the last biennium are: 1. July 6, 1966: Funds are available for a registered nurse attending a baccalaureate program for a fraction of a year if needed to complete final requirements for a baccalaureate degree. To be considered for less than a full year's loan, a student must have (a) received a Commission loan for the previous academic year of study and (b) enrolled as a full-time student for not less than one full term or semester of study. 2. February 16, 1967: A student who has been admitted to or is in satisfactory standing in a baccalaureate program with a major field of study designated as eligible for funds by the Medical Care Commission would be eligible to make application for assistance in the sophomore year. A student will not be eligible for assistance in the freshman year of a collegiate program or in a first year of the diploma program for nurses. This applies to nursing, medical records library science, medical technology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, and dental hygiene. 59
