title: Needed: cooperation to create a health care data bank.
abstract: Only the best possible utilization of existing data collection systems and the cooperative development of more comprehensive systems will enable participants in health care delivery to control the vast bulk of health care data and thereby make more rational efforts to control industry costs and quality. Relief from the threat of antitrust action would facilitate such necessary cooperative efforts.
