The Modern Hospital

The Modern Hospital[1][2][3] (published 1913 to 1974)[4] was the American Hospital Association's[5] trade journal[6] in the fields of "nursing, hospital and allied magazines."[7]

They published year books,[8] and their Gold Medal was given as recognition of "a significant contribution to the literature of hospitals and hospital service."[7]

Their publisher, McGraw Hill Publications,[9][10] closed the magazine in 1974.[11]

Reporting

The magazine wrote about new hospitals[12] and conditions in existing ones.[13] Smithsonian magazine wrote about Modern Hospital's 1942 coverage of proposed windowless hospital rooms: "in the 1940s it was a shocking proposal" since it violated "a fundamental assumption: In order to remain disease-free and health-giving, hospital spaces required direct access to sunlight and fresh air."[14]

One of their features was "hospital of the month".[15]

Competition

Among competing periodicals of the magazine's era[16][17][8] were:

  • Hospital Management[6]
  • The Trained Nurse and Hospital Review, a nursing journal[7]
  • Modern Nursing Home[11]
  • Public Health Nursing[7]
