<p>"An attempt has been made to assess both the direct and indirect costs involved in the medical care of aviators. The data that have been assembled range from verified figures to estimates based on the best available information. 'We have compared the cost of the current system of medical support with the projected cost of the ABC program and feel that the new program would be cost effective a.s well as providing superior medical care.<br><br>Our present physical examination system is antiquated when reviewed in light of recent technological developments involving automated equipment and procedures and new physiologic measurements. These developments have been successfully evaluated and utilized by major examining centers such as the Kaiser-Permanente group in California. In addition, this concept has recently been accepted by the Public Health Service for the projected "Preventacare" program. By utilization of these techniques the total care of the aviator can be greatly enhanced at substantial savings."<br><br>Includes "Medical Causes For student Aviator and NFO Attrition" by Hugh S.
