Now, there is an authoritative microfiche program designed specifically for health care professionals that provides literature focusing on national health care and related vital issues. Health Care puts previously difficult-to-acquire government documents, government-sponsored studies, and surveys by private agencies into one comprehensive, accessible collection of full-text documents.

This series is an important research tool for professionals working in health maintenance organizations, health science libraries, long-term care facilities, and hospitals. Institutions supporting programs in health-related areas such as public health, hospital administration, nursing, allied health sciences, social work, medicine, and public planning find material on such significant and timely topics as:

• malpractice
• abortion
• drug dependency
• OSHA
• social services
• national health insurance
• genetics
• research methods

Health Care is assembled from the holdings of three prime repositories of health care literature: Parklawn Health Library in Rockville, Maryland; Parklawn Health Library in Hyattsville, Maryland; and the National Health Planning Information Center of Hyattsville, Maryland.

The collection is arranged into 16 relevant subject categories:

• Health Bibliographies
• Health Education
• Health Equipment & Technology
• Health Facilities
• Health Legislation
• Health Planning
• Health Services
• Life-Style Related to Health Care
• Health Economics
• Health & Environmental Factors
• Health Organization & Administration
• Health Information Systems
• Health Manpower
• Health Regulation
• Health Statistics
• Special Issues in Health Care

A printed guide provides control and access to the thousands of microfiche in both the base collection and the updates.
