EMPLOYMENT OF PROGRAM PLANNING CONSULTANTS, MEDICAL CENTER (28) T h e Chancellor at the Medical Center campus, with the concurrence of other administrative officers there, has recommended the further employment of Lester Gorsline Associates, Belvedere-Tiburon, California, for consulting services which will be preparatory to Phase II — definitive program planning of new facilities for the University of Illinois Hospital. In January of 1970 Lester Gorsline Associates submitted to the University a report entitled Preliminary Planning Analysis— University of Illinois Hospital, in fulfillment of the contract approved by the Board of Trustees at its meeting on December 18, 1968. This report makes several far-reaching recommendations. In addition to the proposal that the hospital greatly enlarge its responsibility for health care for a substantial target population in the southwest area of Chicago, it recommends new facilities to replace the obsolete parts of the present hospital. T h e work now proposed consists of a functional program analysis of all existing space in terms of re-use for inpatient care, for meeting expanded ambulatory care needs, departmental office and research requirements. It further proposes that, working in conjunction with the administration and staff of the University hospital and other units of the Medical Center campus, future program changes, additions, and adjustments will be identified and priorities established. _ Program needs of all of the colleges for patient-centered experience will be reviewed and coordinated in preparation for the definitive program development now scheduled for Fiscal Year 1972. This part of the project will be carried out in collaboration with the Office of Space Utilization. Finally, the consultants will work with the clinical faculty in developing new and improved systems for the delivery of health services and will assist in identifying criteria for properly evaluating different arrangements and schemes. T h e consultant's fee for these services will be $82,000 including direct, out-ofpocket expenses. Funds are available in the University of Illinois Hospital patient income account. T h e Executive Vice President and Provost and the Vice President and Comptroller recommend approval of this proposal. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .
