years the Children's Bu-reau,in cooperation with the American Associationof Medical Social Workers,has provided medical-social-work departments of hospitals and clinicsof certain urban areas with standard report formsand instructions and furnished guidance in the re-porting of medical-social-work statistics.It wasrecognized at the start of this reporting plan in1928,when a joint committee was organized by theAmerican Association of Medical Social Workers andthe social-statistics project,that any attempt tomeasure the work done in this field in a standard-ized manner would requi re considerable time andexperimentation.  The activities carried on bymedical-social-work departments have varied con-siderably--from minor services and assistance inadministrative duties to concentration on fullservice and treatment of cases.The number of de-partments whose activities consist largely of fulltreatment and service has been increasing slowlyin these urban areas.  \nDuring the first years of the reporting planan attempt was made to classify cases by type ofservice provided.  The extreme difficulties ofclassifying cases in this manner led to the aban-donment of the plan in 1938.  It was generallyrecognized at that time that the function of cur-rent statistical reports should be limited,atleast for the present,to reporting on the totalnumber of patients served,and that analyses ofthe service should depend on special reports.Certain definitions were adopted for purposes ofreporting to give some assurance that greatercomparability in reports might be expected as thedefinitions were more carefully applied:(1)Amedical-social-service department was defined as aseparately organized department of a hospital orclinic.(2)The services to be counted were de-fined as those that involve consideration of thepatient as an individual and of the interrelation-ship of medical and social factors.By this def-inition reporting of routine or clerical services  \nwas eliminated.   (3)Services reported were ex-pected to have been permanently recorded.Inapplying these general limitations considerableresponsibility was left to the person locally incharge of reporting.These definitions undoubt-edly prevent the receipt of reports from medicalsocial workers in some hospitals and clinics wherethe work may not be carried on in agreement withthese conditions.  \nCertain data from the resulting reports forthe calendar year 1939 are presented here。  Inconnection with these figures it should be bornein mind that a mumber of hospitals and clinics inan area may not have an organized medical-social-work department meeting the definition adopted forthis reporting project.
