Excerpt from Bulletin, 1919, Vol. 4 This consideration raises the question Of indexing. If there is a librarian at the hos pital who has charge Of the records, She will make her service most useful by keeping three indices, each in alphabetical order, of the cases as follows: First, an index Of the names Of the patients; second, an index Of the final diagnoses; and, third, an index of the organs affected. Other index entries may also be kept which concern compli cations. Records indexed in this way are available for the purposes of the literature. The hos pital also can readily find the patient's record where the patient is concerned by name; and for the purposes of the literature the librarian can pick out required records without trouble. If a stafi member, for example, is writing on pneumonia, the index shows all Of the pneu monias which have occurred in the hospital, including those with pneumonia as a second ary complication. Again, if the doctor is writing about an organ or the diseases Of an organ, or is studying some problem incident to a certain organ, all the cases that have ever been in the hospital in which this particular organ was involved can be procured without delay.
