Abstract
Critical shortages of manpower in the health professions require reconsideration of the organization and operation of health services. If an orientation to outputs is substituted for the traditional prepossession with administrative inputs, such shortages emerge as symptoms of systemic derangements in health administration, rather than as causes in themselves. A massive effort in systems analysis by health administrators is required to redefine problems, hypothesize solutions, and experimentally develop more economically rational patterns of organization and service.
