The data indicate that approximately 12% of the rural population may be impaired and that impairment is most likely among females, the divorced, widowed, or separated, and those in lower socioeconomic strata. While depression was more common among the young, physical and psychosomatic complaints were more common among older respondents. Further, respondents classified as impaired by the indices tended to view themselves as having \"substantial\" or \"major\" problems and were likely to feel that they might require professional help. While the GWB appeared to discriminate between users and non-users of services, the other indices were less effective as predictors of service utilization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241390"} {"pmid": "10241385", "title": "A computer-assisted preventive maintenance system.", "content": "A computer-assisted preventive maintenance system.

Improved data on women's health should be based on a definition of health capital for women that takes into account reproductive efficiency and the life experience of women in relation to fertility, general health, employment, and household responsibilities. More information is needed about the conduct of household roles related to investment in health capital for family members. Definitions of health are pragmatic and are related to social systems, including health care providers, for which the definitions serve as signals for certain actions. Women can seek to modify these definitions, which have expressed historical biases about women. Data collection should include information about the extent to which privacy as a dimension of access to health care is achieved. Longitudinal and other approaches to health history data should be explored. Fertility and general health data statistics in federal data systems need to be integrated. Insurance adequacy must be determined in relation to benefit scope, relation to prices, employment requirements, and family contracts. Data that will be helpful in adapting industrial environment to health goals are needed. Provider characteristics relevant to women as patients and workers, and qualities of residential environments pertaining to health, need to be studied. Future research should include evaluation of women's health capital and opportunities for programmatic investment to improve household efficiency in conduct of health-related affairs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241503"} {"pmid": "10241504", "title": "Female illness rates and illness behavior: testing hypotheses about sex differences in health.", "content": "Female illness rates and illness behavior: testing hypotheses about sex differences in health. Health surveys repeatedly show that females have higher rates of illness, disability days, and health services utilization than do males. Numerous reasons for these sex differences have been hypothesized, based on four general factors thought to differ by sex and to influence self-reported health: genetic characteristics, physical risks, illness behavior, and reporting behavior. This paper briefly reviews these hypotheses, then discusses research strategies to test them. The strategies vary in the type of dependent variables used (medical vs. sociomedical health indicators) and the main method of controlling predictor factors (elimination vs. statistical control). A study was completed in 1978 in the Detroit metropolitan area to (a) explore reasons for sex differences in health and (b) reveal how strongly illness behavior (perception and evaluation of symptoms, propensities to take curative actions or disability days) affects common health indicators, particularly those for the national Health Interview Survey. The study's research design (use of a health diary, and focus on hypotheses about illness behavior) is described.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241504"} {"pmid": "10241505", "title": "Ninth conference on hospital services in Europe: report--Part II.", "content": "Ninth conference on hospital services in Europe: report--Part II.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241505"} {"pmid": "10241506", "title": "Services for the elderly: World Health Organization.", "content": "Services for the elderly: World Health Organization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241506"} {"pmid": "10241507", "title": "Services for the elderly: Belgium.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Belgium.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241507"} {"pmid": "10241508", "title": "Services for the elderly: Denmark.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Denmark.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241508"} {"pmid": "10241509", "title": "Services for the elderly: Finland.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Finland.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241509"} {"pmid": "10241510", "title": "Services for the elderly: France.", "content": "Services for the elderly: France.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241510"} {"pmid": "10241511", "title": "Services for the elderly: German Democratic Republic.", "content": "Services for the elderly: German Democratic Republic.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241511"} {"pmid": "10241512", "title": "Services for the elderly: German Federal Republic.", "content": "Services for the elderly: German Federal Republic.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241512"} {"pmid": "10241514", "title": "Services for the elderly: Italy.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Italy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241514"} {"pmid": "10241513", "title": "Services for the elderly: Ireland.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Ireland.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241513"} {"pmid": "10241515", "title": "Services for the elderly: Netherlands.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Netherlands.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241515"} {"pmid": "10241516", "title": "Services for the elderly: Norway.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Norway.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241516"} {"pmid": "10241518", "title": "Services for the elderly: Sweden.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Sweden.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241518"} {"pmid": "10241517", "title": "Services for the elderly: Portugal.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Portugal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241517"} {"pmid": "10241519", "title": "Services for the elderly: Switzerland.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Switzerland.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241519"} {"pmid": "10241520", "title": "Services for the elderly: United Kingdom.", "content": "Services for the elderly: United Kingdom.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241520"} {"pmid": "10241522", "title": "Health care and the asymptomatic population.", "content": "Health care and the asymptomatic population.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241522"} {"pmid": "10241521", "title": "Services for the elderly: Yugoslavia.", "content": "Services for the elderly: Yugoslavia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241521"} {"pmid": "10241523", "title": "Family physicians and the mental health system.", "content": "Family physicians and the mental health system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241523"} {"pmid": "10241524", "title": "Maternal nutrition: the Montreal Diet Dispensary.", "content": "Maternal nutrition: the Montreal Diet Dispensary.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241524"} {"pmid": "10241525", "title": "The medicolegal significance of the package insert.", "content": "The medicolegal significance of the package insert.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241525"} {"pmid": "10241526", "title": "D.C.

Pressure from geneticists, lawyers, and others concerned with the implications of such laws, led to their repeal in many places. Noneugenic and nontherapeutic sterilization is today a recognized medical practice. Legally, such procedures must meet the following criteria: 1) informed consent; 2) individual benefit; and 3) performance with reasonable care and skill.

Staffing a majority of hospitals with full-time clinical pharmacists is an aim that will not be attainable for many years. In an effort to demonstrate an interim approach to clinical practice that could be applied to a large percentage of hospitals, a part-time clinical pharmacist's services were documented. Serving a teaching hospital with an average census of 97 patients, the pharmacist, with a 50 percent time allotment for clinical services, monitored 229 total admissions during an eleven week period. The majority of patients were on either a pulmonary medicine or urology service. The total number of actions taken as a result of pharmacy consultations was 106, with 70 percent of these being related to dosing problems.

This article summarizes the results of a study designed to evaluate clinical pharmacy services as a means of reducing drug usage in a 170-bed community hospital. A total of 591 medication orders for 93 hospitalized patients were evaluated. A pharmacy resident made recommendations regarding the appropriateness of the medication order to the attending physicians. A team of reviewing physicians later evaluated these recommendations. The resident's suggestions were also monitored by a university-affiliated and experienced clinical pharmacist. The number of medications ordered which the pharmacy resident would have prescribed during consultation with physicians was 312 (53 percent), while the overseeing clinical pharmacist would have prescribed 352 (60 percent). Two hundred and fifteen therapeutic recommendations were provided by the pharmacy resident, of which 38 (17.6 percent) were carried out by the attending physician. The reviewing physicians did not agree with 37 of these recommendations. Twenty-two drug interactions were detected, of which eleven were thought to be of definite clinical significance by the pharmacy resident. The study demonstrated that a 40 percent reduction in medication utilization could result in a community hospital, while the same level of therapeutic effectiveness was maintained, by using the services of a properly trained clinical pharmacist. The patient care appraisal committee which was appointed to evaluate the study reviewed the results and agreed that, based on the cost factor and improvement of patient care, clinical pharmacy services would be beneficial.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241644"} {"pmid": "10241648", "title": "Clinical pharmacist or clinical pharmacologist?", "content": "Clinical pharmacist or clinical pharmacologist?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10241648"} {"pmid": "10241649", "title": "The supply of physicians' services.", "content": "The supply of physicians' services.

A subsequent paper will present an approach to evaluating reports of research studies. The background provided by both papers should make it possible for pharmacists to review more objectively the increasing number of journal articles reporting research studies.

Medical Administrators are usually confronted with the problem of determining the number of doctors to be posted at different health centres within their jurisdiction. In India the number of doctors allocated to a health centre is normally decided without any proper study of the health needs of the area served by the centre. In certain areas the number of doctors posted is considerably different from the requirement of the area. Also, in certain health centres situated in villages lacking in modern amenities, absenteeism among doctors poses a very serious problem in day to day running of the health centres. The problem of allocation is formulated and a heuristic method is suggested for determining the optimum number of doctors to be posted at each health centre in order to maximise the number of patients seen by the doctor per day. The heuristic method is applied to nine health centres of Haryana state of India in order to demonstrate the potential benefits.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242221"} {"pmid": "10242222", "title": "Analysis of hospital capital decision alternatives: a priority assignment model.", "content": "Analysis of hospital capital decision alternatives: a priority assignment model. In the not-for-profit sector in general and in the hospital industry in particular, the systematic analysis of capital decision alternatives is often not attempted because those decision making criteria which do not have objective measures, but for which judgments must be rendered, are not explicitly integrated into the analysis of decision alternatives. Rather, judgments on these criteria enter the decision making process in some vague manner after an attempt has been made to develop a quantitative profile for each of the decision alternatives. The purpose of this paper is to examine a priority assignment model which (1) uses judgmental transitivity as a measure of the quality of the judgments rendered, and (2) provides for the mathematical integration of the quality adjusted judgmental information into the development of priority weights. Various operational aspects of the model are examined and illustrated and an example of its application provided.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242222"} {"pmid": "10242223", "title": "Pastoral care in breast cancer management.", "content": "Pastoral care in breast cancer management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242223"} {"pmid": "10242224", "title": "Art therapy and the hospital chaplaincy: a new partnership.", "content": "Art therapy and the hospital chaplaincy: a new partnership.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242224"} {"pmid": "10242225", "title": "The place of worship in a therapeutic milieu setting.", "content": "The place of worship in a therapeutic milieu setting.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242225"} {"pmid": "10242226", "title": "From hospital chaplaincy to wholistic health center.", "content": "From hospital chaplaincy to wholistic health center.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242226"} {"pmid": "10242227", "title": "Wholistic health and pastoral counseling.", "content": "Wholistic health and pastoral counseling.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242227"} {"pmid": "10242228", "title": "Pricing, insurance and the National Health Service.", "content": "Pricing, insurance and the National Health Service. Since the birth of the National Health Service in 1948 there have been periodic discussions of the potential role of pricing and insurance in the United Kingdom health care system. This article is concerned with discussing the problems inherent in these mechanisms and it advocates more careful articulation of the cost and benefits of such policies. The first section gives a description of some quite recent proposals to extend the role of the pricing and insurance mechanisms which have been made by the British Medical Association and the McKinsey consultancy company. The second section uses economic analysis to show that both the pricing and the insurance mechanisms have inherent problems which may vitiate their efficiency in many western health care markets. The third section is concerned with the mechanisms by which the efficiency of the health care system can be improved, and radical experimentation is advocated. Without radical experimentation and the implementation of suitable incentive systems, inefficiency and inequality will continue in the National Health Service.", "url":

Trends in attitudes toward abortion are examined over the 1972-1976 period. While an overall tendency of more liberal attitudes is noted, important differences over time are apparent by gender, education, occupational prestige, and religiosity. Analysis of data from the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey conducted annually from 1972-76 revealed trends in attitudes toward abortion. The following 6 questions were asked. Should a person obtain an abortion if: 1) there is chance of defect in the baby; 2) a woman doesn't want any more and is married; 3) if the woman's health is jeopardized; 4) if the family has a low income and cannot afford any more children; 5) if she becomes pregnant because of rape; or 6) if she is not married and does not want to marry the father. The overall trend showed an increase in approval for each of the 6 reasons for an abortion. There was an increase by 3 percentage points for each of the traditionally hard line reasons: health, rape, and defect; and an increase of 3, 6, and 6 percentage points respectively for the soft line reasons: poor, single, and no more. In 1972 males were more approving of abortion than females; 1976 saw an increase in approval for men. There was more disparity between the sexes in 1976 than in 1975. Protestants were consistently more liberal than Catholics. Protestant increases in approval exceeded Catholic increases for rape and defect for males, and health for females. The only decrease in approval of abortion for 1972-76 was for male Catholics for rape, -3 percentage points.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242340"} {"pmid": "10242342", "title": "Government health policy and hospital labor costs: the effects of wage and price controls on hospital wage rates and employment.", "content": "Government health policy and hospital labor costs: the effects of wage and price controls on hospital wage rates and employment. This study examines the rapid growth of hospital wage rates and employment levels over the past decade, with particular attention to the period 1971-73, when wage and price controls were in effect throughout the economy. The analysis shows that the hospital regulations under the Economic Stabilization Program reduced real hospital wages below what they would have been in the absence of controls; a similar but smaller effect of the controls on hospital employment levels is also shown. This suggests that if the current HEW proposal for hospital cost containment is enacted, its impact would be a significant decrease in the rate of growth of hospital wages and employment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242342"} {"pmid": "10242343", "title": "Physicians as gatekeepers: illness certification as a rationing device.", "content": "Physicians as gatekeepers: illness certification as a rationing device. Illness or disability is often used as an eligibility criterion by public programs that distribute money, services, privileges, and exemptions. Physicians then play a central role in the allocation process. But physicians are caught between a large pool of applicants who want some benefit, on the one hand, and an organization with limited resources to distribute, on the other hand. Three conflicts are engendered in this gatekeeping role: the tension between trusting and mistrusting information provided by the patient, the tension between erring on the false positive side and the false negative side in diagnostic decision-making, and the tension between doing everything possible for each patient and allocating limited resources among several needy clients. Several non-medical factors influence the ultimate outcome of this allocation process, which, in theory, rests on clinical decision-making: the specificity and restrictiveness of the formal definitions of illness and disability used by a program; the structure of the determination process; the overall policy of the organization on distribution of benefits; and the ability of the organization to use administrative review, direct incentives, and written standards to control the certifying behavior of physicians.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242343"} {"pmid": "10242341", "title": "Physician response rates to mail and personal interview surveys.", "content": "Physician response rates to mail and personal interview surveys.

Their histories reveal the importance of the development of competence in the work role prior to the onset of mental illness. Those who were able to develop competence were likely to retain their jobs through the initial episode of illness and to remain occupationally stable in the ensuing years even in the face of persistent symptomatology.

Work accidents became a matter of societal concern in the Progressive era of Woodrow Wilson. When other contingencies of modern life were brought under social security in the New Deal reforms of the 1930s, work accident legislation remained separate. One possible reason was that work accidents can be controlled within industrial and chance limits. But control does not imply elimination since a risk-free environment would paralyze production. In spite of imperfections caused by low benefits and imperfect insurance arrangements, the workers' compensation legislation does help internalize the costs of accidents, but internalization of costs is only one remedy. Regulation and a much broader community responsibility are others. It is argued that regulation poses greater problems and that broader community responsibility may evade the issues involved in choosing the appropriate tradeoff point between production and health

The clinical engineer, because of his critical involvement with medical instrumentation, must, in addition to his conventional duties, instruct hospital personnel in the proper sterilization and use of medical instrumentation. In order to accomplish this, the clinical engineer must understand the relationship between nosocomial infection and medical instrumentation, and he must become familiar with basic sterilization procedures as they apply to each class of medical instrumentation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10242680"} {"pmid": "10242681", "title": "A low cost medical data handling system.", "content": "A low cost medical data handling system.

The emerging concept of a clinical engineer is that of a practitioner of engineering science as it applies to hospital medical devices and the technology of health care delivery. Therefore, in addition to the theoretical and scientific aspects of the clinical engineer's education, there must also be some form of experiential education under proper guidance. For most university-based clinical engineering programs, this takes the form of a hospital internship. The transition between the academic environment to the hospital environment is not always a smooth one, as there is a type of \"culture shock\" brought on by the new and extremely demanding situation encountered in the hospital. In an effort to improve the transition from university to hospital and allow the student to focus more sharply on his or her professional goals, the concept of the clinical engineering practicum was developed.

In providing health care to these psychiatric patients, the clinical pharmacist used a systemized approach including data gathering, evaluation, plan of action, and follow-up. In addition, medication groups and weekly staff meetings were incorporated into the patient treatment plan. Following a 3-month study period, the impact of clinical pharmacy services was evaluated.

It is of the utmost importance to realize that the proportion of elders in the 75-year and older group is increasing most sharply. By the year 2000, almost 45% of all elders will be 75 years and older. It is among the frail old that the most serious health problems are encountered, that the most serious adverse drug reactions are encountered, and that even minor health probelms, if left untended, may well develop into major ones.

This paper summarizes the data across the 11 disciplines. In contrast to prior research, the formal contract emerges as the most frequently used form of agreement. Specific rights and responsibilities of academic and clinical educators, including personal and professional liability insurance, are delineated. Student rights and responsibilities receive less attention. Eight percent of respondents are charged an overall fee for use of clinical facilities; an additional 32% feel that payment may be required in the future.

The manager of the change process must be sensitive and responsive to human factors. To be successful, the manager must capitalize on his/her intuitive and creative capabilities.

In this study, the perceptions of unilateral terminators, \"dropouts,\" of their visit to a community mental health center were examined. A telephone survey was conducted to assess client satisfaction, impressions of the setting and therapist, helpfulness of the visit, expectations of and reported services received, and source and degree of problem(s) solution. Forty-seven respondents participated in the survey. Seventy percent were satisfied with the service they received. Satisfaction was related to favorable perceptions of the setting, the therapist, helpfulness of the visit, and whether improvement was due to contact with the center. Almost 80% of the respondents reported their problems had improved. Expectations of services to be rendered were generally met. Meeting of expectations was related to client satisfaction and perceived helpfulness but not to problem solution. Center impact was related to client satisfaction, mode of entry, meeting of clients' expectations, and number of services received. The study suggests that unilateral client termination is not a failure of the client or the intervention system. Clients can benefit from one session, use alternative sources of assistance, or be affected by environmental changes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243181"} {"pmid": "10243182", "title": "Who is called mentally ill: public and professional views.", "content": "Who is called mentally ill: public and professional views. This study was designed to identify factors that influence the decision to call someone mentally ill, and to determine some attitudinal correlates of such labelling. Members of the general public and mental health professionals were queried on their views about etiologies of mental illness, circumstances in which they would call someone mentally ill, and opinions about restricting occupational choices of the formerly hospitalized. Results showed considerable agreement between lay respondents and mental health professionals. The label of mental illness was applied by both groups with considerably greater restraint than was anticipated on the basis of prior research. Across issues, two patterns of response emerged; some respondents believe that mental illness is a real entity, apply the label to a wide range of behavior, regard hospitalization as the best course of action and restrict the occupational choices of the formerly hospitalized. At the other extreme is a subset of respondents who regard hospitalization as objectionable in principle, who narrowly define mental illness and who are unlikely to restrict the career choices of the formerly hospitalized. These findings are related to previous work in the field.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243182"} {"pmid": "10243183", "title": "Telephone change agentry in the diffusion of a program for the elderly.", "content": "Telephone change agentry in the diffusion of a program for the elderly. This study examined whether telephone consultation subsequent to a five-day workshop on a geriatric program, called milieu therapy, affected the degree to which the adoption of the program took place in nursing homes and hospitals. The nursing homes and hospitals were randomly assigned to three conditions: 1) no person receiving telephone consultation, 2) one person receiving consultation, and 3) three persons receiving consultation. Following the workshop, five consultations were conducted, one every two weeks. Three months after the last consultation a follow-up questionnaire was used to examine the extent of the program adoption. Results of the study indicated that telephone consultation did not create more information dissemination. However, the consultation with three persons 1) enhanced the inclusion of more staff in the planning groups, 2) supported low social status staff in taking leadership roles, and 3) included more staff from various work areas into the planning group. No significant difference could be found for the degree of actual program adoption that took place within the organizations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243183"} {"pmid": "10243184", "title": "Primary care research in a teaching context.", "content": "Primary care research in a teaching context.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243184"} {"pmid": "10243185", "title": "Research for evaluation of care.", "content": "Research for evaluation of care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243185"} {"pmid": "10243186", "title": "Evaluating care delivery.", "content": "Evaluating care delivery.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243186"} {"pmid": "10243187", "title": "Summary of workshop: what does the community expect from primary care?", "content": "Summary of workshop: what does the community expect from primary care?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243187"} {"pmid": "10243188", "title": "Summary of workshop: problems of financing teaching in ambulatory care services.", "content": "Summary of workshop: problems of financing teaching in ambulatory care services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243188"} {"pmid": "10243189", "title": "Quality assurance in a prepaid group practice.", "content": "Quality assurance in a prepaid group practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243189"} {"pmid": "10243190", "title": "Can primary care deliver?", "content": "Can primary care deliver?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243190"} {"pmid": "10243192", "title": "Marketing HMOs: a premarketing approach.", "content": "Marketing HMOs: a premarketing approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243192"} {"pmid": "10243191", "title": "Unknown and unserved?

In order to promote health care self dependency among rural inhabitants in India, Saint Johns Medical College Hospital is conducting a training program in delivery procedures for TBAs (traditional birth attendants) recruited from rural villages. The program, instituted in 1978, provides the TBAs with in-service training at the hospital and subsequently with supervised in-service training in rural villages located near the hospital. Training lasts from 1-3 months depending on the needs of individual TBAs. There is a severe shortage of maternal and child health care facilities in the rural areas, and there is little likelihood that these deficiencies will be corrected in the near future. TBAs, if properly trained, can fulfill some of these unmet health needs.

This paper examines some of the factors which were involved in the December 1974, decision, of the Ontario's Minister of Colleges and Universities to Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology to establish an experimental program in occupational therapy. This program is being launched without the endorsement of the provincial and national association of occupational therapy which wish to maintain a baccalaureate level of education for occupational therapists in a university settings. Some questions which are explored in the examination of this case are: What is a College of Applied Arts and Technology? How is it different from a University? What is a profession? What is a paraprofession? Is occupational therapy a profession or a paraprofession? Why did Mohawk College propose an occupational therapy program? What factors contributed to the occupational therapists' inability to stop the proposal? What was the process of approval of the proposal? How important are status and prestige as factors in these issues?

The authors challenge the current pedagogical approach toward death education in U.S. nursing schools. They propose the need for the development of a model that would formally link a death education course, or courses, with the clinical phase of training.

Some principles in regard to teaching methods and evaluation are described, with illustrations from the experiences of medical students and others. It is important that the teacher should be able to deal with the problems that such programs may arouse. Cheap emotional arousal is easy to produce, but trivial, unless creatively used for a valued purpose and adequately resolved. Death is infinitely exploitable, and the growth of death voyeurism via \"education\" is alarming.

This paper highlights the temporal aspects of social accessibility, demonstrating that time is a major dimension of social organization along which both privacy and professional commitments are defined in modern society. An analysis of the temporal structure of professional commitments within the domain of health care, leads to the claim that the temporally rigid way in which most professional commitments are defined today is one of the key characteristics of modern social organization. A general conceptual scheme, constructed around the temporal structure of social accessibility, is evaluated in terms of its use in helping us identify and differentiate various occupational roles as well as various status rankings within stratification systems. The symbolic significance of the temporal organization of social accessibility is stressed-both in general, and for professional commitments in particular.", "url":

Since nearly a quarter of this nation's hospitals' outpatient and emergency rooms engage in medical education, it is of critical importance for administrators to determine the extent to which medical training influences the operational costs and efficiency of patient care for those services in their facilities. A computer simulation model has been developed at a midwest adult medical clinic to study the effects of ambulatory medical training on clinic operations. The model is capable of showing changes in the facility without disrupting the work flow and thus reduces the problems associated with long-term data collection. Various staffing patterns, both with and without medical training, were compared for the operational effects, patient convenience, and costs. The article offers probability distributions based on actual clinic experience. The research identifies and evaluates the trade-offs that must be considered when medical education is incorporated in an ambulatory program. Since both the faculty and students must take time away from direct patient care for consultation, more clinic time is required, causing staff costs to increase and patient care efficiency to decrease. The model demonstrates that when teaching loads increase, the faculty become less available to residents which results in resident inefficiency and longer patient waiting time. These operational consequences demonstrate the basic management problems of the need for balance between the demand for clinical teaching time and the demand for efficient service delivery in a solid ambulatory care/teaching program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243784"} {"pmid": "10243786", "title": "The financial manager's role in the Voluntary Effort.", "content": "The financial manager's role in the Voluntary Effort. \"Voluntary Effort\" hopes to duplicate its first year success by further reducing the annual rate of increase of hospital costs by another two percent.

The Hospital Financial Management Association has developed a Code of Action to assist the financial manager in dealing with his/her assignments and goals. Ultimately, \"Voluntary Effort\" is striving to establish a cost-effective health care financing and delivery system. The financial manager is encouraged to initiate in-service training programs for support staff to develop a management team capable of creating such a system. The success of the \"Voluntary Effort\" is dependent upon the effectiveness of hospital managers in dealing with the 1979 minimum wage and social security tax increases, cost containment and inflation.

Canada now spends proportionally more on health care than any other country except the U.S., Sweden and the Netherlands - about 7.2% of its GNP or about $500 per capita. Almost all Canadians (99%) are insured against the cost of all hospital and physician expenses through government health insurance programs administered by the provinces. Hospitals are reimbursed by the government 26 times per year and must work within annual budgets formulated by the Ministry of Health. The fiscal restraints imposed upon hospitals have caused them to look at expansion of shared services, regionalization and a slowed rate of growth. As in the U.S., hospital administrators complain about government regulation on the grounds that individual physicians have a much greater influence over utilization than do hospital administrators. Further hospital cutbacks will have the effect of reducing services and therefore, costs. However, there is concern that these kinds of modifications will result in services among communities which would affect the very principle of universal health insurance for Canadians.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243788"} {"pmid": "10243789", "title": "Hospital-based versus free-standing primary care costs.", "content": "Hospital-based versus free-standing primary care costs. A survey of the literature supports the broad generalization that primary care delivered in this hospital outpatient department will be more expensive than care provided in a free-standing setting. Among the reasons discussed by the author are: (1) reimbursement policies of third party insurors which mask and inflate the distribution of the true costs of care within the hospital; (2) lack of control by outpatient department directors over their own costs; (3) the degree to which the availability of sophisticated and expensive technology within the hospital setting encourages its utilization; and (4) the differences in case mix: \"sicker\" patients are seen in outpatient departments. Gold recognizes that most studies to date contain serious limitations in their generalizability; she concludes that additional studies are necessary to explain why the costs vary to the extent they do. She also suggests studying other issues such as access, consumer preferences, provider preferences and training requirements, and quality of care before reaching any decisions about the future of hospital-based primary care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243789"} {"pmid": "10243790", "title": "Reorganizing ambulatory care: an administrator's view.", "content": "Reorganizing ambulatory care: an administrator's view. Citing a continuing increase in the utilization of hospital outpatient services, the authors discuss the reorganization of the ambulatory care delivery system at a 300-bed community hospital serving the Cambridge, Massachusetts area. Due to the attrition of community-based physicians, the Mount Auburn Hospital had an overburdened emergency services and an underutilized outpatient department. To improve this situation, full-time physicians and a non-physician administrator were hired for the outpatient area. In the four years following the reorganization, patient volume has increased and utilization has shifted from emergency to primary care which has required the hospital to adjust staffing in several ancillary departments. The hospital has now reached the point where growth must be carefully planned and controlled in order to preserve cost-effective, high quality care. The authors conclude that planning for hospital-based ambulatory care units should include: (1) defining the needs of the target communities; (2) marketing programs; and (3) anticipating legislation which will influence the demand for outpatient services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243790"} {"pmid": "10243791", "title": "How one hospital broke its inflation fever.", "content": "How one hospital broke its inflation fever. The Johns Hopkins Hospital has demonstrated that hospital costs can be decreased without governmental intervention (controls). From 1975 to 1978, the hospital inflation rate was cut by half. One key factor, according to Solomon, was a move to decentralize management which was accompanied by a detailed system for monitoring costs. Also instrumental were administration's consistent reminders to physicians and managers about keeping costs down. The hospital was reorganized from a system of clinical departments that behaved, says Solomon, like \"fiefdoms\" into 14 autonomous departments that function under their own budgets. Each department controls about 85% of its costs (up from 30%), and is set up to function \"like a small business.\" A breakdown of where cost reductions took place shows a savings of $5 million in overhead and $1.5 million in malpractice claims (Hopkins self-insured). Individual departments have also achieved some dramatic reductions: the Department of Medicine decreased the number of laboratory tests ordered; and the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics built a new facility with fewer beds than the old one.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243791"} {"pmid": "10243792", "title": "What you should know about the SHUR cost study.", "content": "What you should know about the SHUR cost study.

The author states that the study findings do not reflect the real cost of implementing SHUR for the nation's hospitals. Rummer argues that the study sample included a greater percentage of hospitals in states which already had uniform reporting systems than is actually the case nationally, and that the study was done under tremendous time pressure which did not allow staff from participating hospitals to review and comment on the field teams' findings. On the basis of the SHUR Cost Study, HCFA has extrapolated the cost of reclassifying accounting and statistical information for all hospitals to be $65,648.011; the author estimates the true figure at over $100 million.

Part of this process includes a review of research projects by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). Membership on the IRB must be varied and should include allied scientists. Because many of the projects include investigational drugs, the inclusion of a pharmacist as a member is logical. The pharmacist, if properly selected and prepared, can play a vital role in the review of research projects by assisting in the evaluation of the scientific merit of the plan, the appropriateness of the volunteer agreement, and the regulatory compliance of the project.

The program remains operational as a part of the orientation program for new nurses. The program is composed of a policy and procedure manual handout, a lecture on the mechanics of the system, a videotape module, a demonstration, practice session, return demonstration, and post-test. One aspect of the system is the utilization of a demonstration cassette and Kardex. This teaching tool enables the lecturer to demonstrate the system, the nurses to practice with the system, and the nursing supervisor to evaluate performance before actual administration of medications. A unique aspect of the program is a videotape module, which had added flexibility to instruction times. The program is beneficial to the entire nursing staff when converting to the unit dose system, and to the newly hired nurse prior to assignment. Because of the success of this videotape module, the use of videotaping has been expanded to other pharmacy education programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243914"} {"pmid": "10243915", "title": "A survey of the use and educational value of the hospital formularly manual.", "content": "A survey of the use and educational value of the hospital formularly manual.

The same proportion of men and women completed training in the HM group, but significantly more DT women completed training thand did DT men. The proportion of men and women who were still in the Navy one year after completion of training was the same in both rating groups. Among those who failed to complete training, the women were more likely than the men to be in the Navy one year later. These findings show that women were just as successful as men in both of these rating groups when success is defined as completion of training and remaining on active duty for a period of one year after completion of training. The results are contrary to those of earlier Navy studies which showed higher discharge rates and lower reenlistment rates for women than for men.

The study of attitudes led to at least 3 conclusions: 1) although all groups were in favor of some form of family size limitation, it was apparent that attempts to introduce government control of family size would not be supported; 2) overpopulation was seen as an economic problem, so that all the groups surveyed believed that poor people should limit family size, while rich people were not under the same limitations; 3) there appeared to be a consensus that there is a need for education about human reproduction and population problems.

Medical malpractice actions are increasing at an alarming rate. Within the past five years, the incidence of such claims has escalated to such an extent that many physicians in hospitals are finding it difficult to obtain insurance. When insurance has been obtained, its cost has approached the prohibitive. To understand what's behind this increase in actions and costs, a review of the law of negligence, the law that most affects medical malpractice, is in order. With such understanding, those most affected financially by the escalation in malpractice costs (notably the health facility and the physician) can consider what preventive procedures can be taken to eliminate a substantial percentage of potential lawsuits. Without taking such preventive action, none of the current methods of confronting malpractice costs--private carriers, co-insurance, group policies, self-insurance, or going bare--will be effective for any period of time in keeping those costs in check.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243993"} {"pmid": "10243994", "title": "Sample forms.", "content": "Sample forms.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10243994"} {"pmid": "10243995", "title": "Medical malpractice litigation: the discoverability and use of hospitals' quality assurance committee records.", "content": "Medical malpractice litigation: the discoverability and use of hospitals' quality assurance committee records.

He sees this as a contradiction arguing that \"the forces necessary to keep every medical service identical and cheap discourage the intense personal involvement by the physician in the patient's care that is required to lift medicine above the merely technical.\" Further, waning trust in individual physicians has been exacerbated by the use of more technical services in medical examinations and by higher costs. Cassell believes that medical care should be conceptualized as a personal service rather than a social commodity which employs individual knowledge, human concern, judgement and experience.

Unfortunately, sophisticated information systems often fail to meet this need. Managers complain that the data produced by information systems arrive too late, are too general and lack accuracy. Daft and MacIntosh studied the system problems of a number of organizations, discovering that understanding their work activities is critical to the design of successful information systems.

This article suggests three ways to manage organizational conflicts. The first is the collaboration theory which maintains that people should air their differences and work for mutually satisfactory solutions. Collaboration requires that members of the organization be interdependent, capable of interacting candidly, and sufficiently committed to the organization to justify the time and energy required to develop and preserve mutually beneficial relationships. A second approach, the power play, is a method of handling organizational conflict which is diametrically opposed to collaboration. It is characterized by an adversary ethic and rational self-interest; the parties are involved in a win/lose situation. According to Derr, the power-play is the dominant conflict management strategy for those who seek autonomy and is best suited for idealogical disputes. Bargaining, the third technique, contains elements that overlap collaboration and power-play. Bargaining \"trade-offs\" are particularly useful in dealing with conditions of scarcity; this method is seen as economical in that it requires parties to meet only periodically to review the old contracts and to develop new contracts. The author concludes that there is no one best way to manage organizational conflicts and suggests that conflict management will require more extensive studies of the realities of power play.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244105"} {"pmid": "10244106", "title": "Problem defining and the consulting/intervention process.", "content": "Problem defining and the consulting/intervention process.

Based on intervention theory and the consulting process, the authors offer a method of evaluating an organization's approach to change to determine if it is well-suited to the types of problems being experienced. The process of change is diagrammed as a five-step cycle: 1) sensing problems; 2) defining problems; 3) deriving solutions; 4) implementing solutions; and 5) evaluating outcomes. Most consultants enter the process at step 3 which increases the probability that they will try to solve the wrong problem (termed Type III error). A second source of trouble is that consultants are usually trained in one or two disciplines and, therefore, see problems primarily in those perspectives.

In government, administrative practices are more regulated with most policy decisions determined in the public arena making the managerial process much slower and more complex. Despite the differences between the corporate world and Washington, Blumenthal identifies four basic management principles that are valid for both; (1) choose very good people; (2) learn to delegate authority; (3) know your facts; and (4) be honest.

Possible initiatives that might satisfy the interests of university hospitals and meet the educational responsibilities of the medical schools include: (1) the development of regional hospital consortiums which coordinate education and patient services by clinical specialty; (2) the development and expansion of area health education centers to include other non-tertiary care providers; and (3) the growth of medical school based health maintenance organizations.

Many of these consultants play similar roles to the ones traditionally played by external consultants such as troubleshooting, advising the CEO, analyzing research, and implementing new programs. Because the internal consultants can respond rapidly to organizational needs and are immediately accountable to the CEO, these functions have been successful so far. There are, however, according to this author, who has surveyed 200 internal consultants and personally interviewed many of them, areas where an external consultant still works out better. In the main these are the politically sensitive areas where an internal consultant's credibility can be too easily damaged. The author discusses other aspects of the problems that surround the internal consultant, the controversy about the merits of the outsider versus the insider, and ends his article with some guidelines for developing an in-house function.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244211"} {"pmid": "10244210", "title": "Much ado about mentors.", "content": "Much ado about mentors.

Of the individuals surveyed, two-thirds reported a relationship with a senior person who took a special interest in their career, during the first five years of their professional development. In general, executives who had a mentor are better educated, earn more money at an earlier age, more apt to follow a career plan and report high job satisfaction. The majority of sponsors are older businessmen holding positions of authority and who feel that personnel development and management succession are key responsibilities. The following characteristics of a mentor are judged most important: willingness to share experiences, knowledge of the organization, organizational power and respect from peers.

Is he seeing life in the organization as a game; is he seeing it as hazardous and maybe nominating himself for a hero role; or is he merely saying he's going all the way with a project, regardless. The truth is we don't know what he's saying. It is all too easy both to interpret the metaphors others use to fit out own meanings and to ignore the fact that metaphors have idiosyncratic meanings that should be listened to. The author describes three ways managers convey messages about themselves and the ways they see the world. He encourages the reader to see these ways--their metaphors, office settings, and body language and tones that accompany their speech--as means of communicating. Just as speech or mathematics, these are languages that can be learned. With skill in them, a manager can see or hear what is really going on when people talk, what hidden messages we are sending all the time.

Supreme Court threw out those portions of a Pennsylvania statute making physicians criminally liable for performing abortions of a \"viable\" fetus except to preserve the health of the pregnant woman and, in such a case, requiring physicians to use the abortion technique offering the best opportunity for the fetus to be aborted alive. The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently recognized the principle that physicians should be free from government interference in their exercise of professional judgment regarding treatment of women seeking abortions. That principle was once again reiterated in a decision in the Colautti vs. Franklin case. This decision dealt with the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act, passed in 1974, which made physicians criminally liable for performing abortions of a \"viable\" fetus except to preserve the life or health of the pregnant woman and, in such cases, required physicians to use the abortion technique most likely to result in the birth of a live infant. Argument was presented that the statute's viability and standard-of-care provisions were unconstitutionally vague. The Court found the statute at fault in that it did not take into account intention of the physician in attributing criminal liability. Medical testimony showed that, although saline instillation is nearly always fatal to the fetus, it is the safest and most effective 2nd-trimester method for the mother. The Court found that the Pennsylvania law was unclear as to the prime duty of the physician: to the fetus or to the woman.

It was hypothesized that (a) due to their relatively low self-concept, nonprofessionals would underestimate their own role importance in comparison to that of the professionals; (b) professionals would overestimate their own role importance; and (c) children would selectively value certain aspects of each role without preferring one over the other. The last two hypotheses were supported, but the first hypothesis was not: nonprofessionals, in fact, showed the highest level of overestimation of their own role importance.

Who was it that talked about how to ruin motivation with pay? Frederick S. Hills digs hard into pay-for-performance programs in a striking excavation of the reasons why pay does not motivate performance. He examines the problematic effects of equity in pay (in terms of both internal wage structure and market surveys), the inflation factor, problems with the basic performance model, and the system of administration of merit pay systems in terms of the salaries of two hypothetical supervisors--one a high performer, the other a minimal performer. And while he raises a number of questions, he also leaves us with possible answers--which we can explore for ourselves.

To facilitate future studies of the effectiveness of managerial behavior, a framework of fourteen propositions which describe the process of managerial diagnosis is presented. The author says that: 1) the manager will defer those perceptions where performance exceeds expectations; 2) decision-makers are goaded into evaluation (a process used to measure performance or comparative alternatives) by stimuli such as conflict, uncertain performance, and uncertain expectations; and 3) evaluation findings are deemed acceptable only when they reduce conflict.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244465"} {"pmid": "10244468", "title": "Emergency room care mandatory: Louisiana's rape treatment law attacked.", "content": "Emergency room care mandatory: Louisiana's rape treatment law attacked.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244468"} {"pmid": "10244469", "title": "Private firms to run 3 military hospitals.", "content": "Private firms to run 3 military hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244469"} {"pmid": "10244470", "title": "Medicine: business or charity?", "content": "Medicine: business or charity?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244470"} {"pmid": "10244471", "title": "Hospital privileges, reimbursement: family MDs bid for equal treatment.", "content": "Hospital privileges, reimbursement: family MDs bid for equal treatment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244471"} {"pmid": "10244474", "title": "Those self-help groups: \"our surgeons are our heroes!\".", "content": "Those self-help groups: \"our surgeons are our heroes!\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244474"} {"pmid": "10244476", "title": "Medical education in the '80s: upheaval or utopia?", "content": "Medical education in the '80s: upheaval or utopia?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244476"} {"pmid": "10244472", "title": "Caribbean transfer students tell story of singleminded determination.", "content": "Caribbean transfer students tell story of singleminded determination.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244472"} {"pmid": "10244473", "title": "How Baltimore 'rescued' its city hospitals.", "content": "How Baltimore 'rescued' its city hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244473"} {"pmid": "10244475", "title": "Put doctors at risk for patients' bills.", "content": "Put doctors at risk for patients' bills.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244475"} {"pmid": "10244477", "title": "Changing views on CME.", "content": "Changing views on CME.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244477"} {"pmid": "10244467", "title": "Education for the institutionalized aged.", "content": "Education for the institutionalized aged.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244467"} {"pmid": "10244478", "title": "At U. of Chicago: chaplains serve on the treatment team.", "content": "At U. of Chicago: chaplains serve on the treatment team.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244478"} {"pmid": "10244479", "title": "Vietnamese need materials, medicine, and money, says American physician.

Multidisciplinary management teams were a significant new element in the 1974 reorganisation of the National Health Service. It was a development which in the run-up to reorganisation (and since) commanded considerable interest and, in some cases, scepticism. (R.G.S. Brown et al, 1973, 40.) Although there had been experiments in team management before the change, particularly in hospital authorities, there was no national blueprint describing their composition and method of working. This was the new factor introduced in 1974 and management teams were established at region, area and district levels. Management teams are now five years old. Most had their first meeting before the appointed day in April 1974 and there is now a fair body of experience on which to draw to make a considered evaluation of their contribution to the management of the NHS.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244602"} {"pmid": "10244605", "title": "Time for a rethink on planning emphasis.", "content": "Time for a rethink on planning emphasis.

Growth money is helping to cushion much of the cash limit squeeze and most places look able to survive the year without too many cuts although at a few places severe cuts or deliberate overspending have occurred. The important thing is that the position could get worse this year. Cash shortfall estimates have been made on the assumption of an inflation rate of 17 1/2 per cent but it could end up much higher. Other problems faced by health authorities include increased fuel costs, implementing the Clegg report and the DHSS not playing ball by deciding that calculations of the cost of pay awards are too high.

In organizations, however--says this author--power is not so much a question of people but of positions. Drawing a distinction between productive and oppressive power, the author maintains that the former is a function of having open channels to supplies, support, and information; the latter is a function of these channels being closed. She then descriges three positions that are classically powerless: first-line supervisors, staff professionals, and, surprisingly, chief executive officers. These positions can be powerless because of difficulties in maintaining open lines of information and support.

But the 1980s will bring their own special challenges. Shifting populations (such as legal and illegal immigrants), the women's movement's demand for equal pay for work of comparable worth, and the push for civil liberties at the workplace are all factors that will dramatically change the business climate.

As a result of the moral and social conflicts surrounding abortion, workers involved in counseling potential abortion recipients are subject to certain strains. The author uses observations made at one abortion clinic to support her conclusion that these strains, as well as the methods of coping developed by staff and administration, must be considered in formulating any policy on abortion. Focus is on the strains associated with abortion work, some of the devices used by abortion counselors to offset these strains, and some of the costs associated with these humanizing measures. The information was drawn primarily from a year -long participant-observation study of \"Urban Clinic\" during 1976-1977. Urban is a private, nonprofit, family planning clinic in a large Northeastern city. Among its other services, the clinic offers 1st trimester abortions on an outpatient basis. About 150 abortions are performed each week. Attention is on the 8 abortion counselors who work at Urban and 3 middle managers -- the clinic director, the associate director, and the head counselor. Counseling tasks include giving information and counseling prior to the abortion and accompanying patients through the procedure itself. Managerial duties are primarily administrative and supervisory but also include some direct service in the abortion clinic. The strain associated with abortion-related work derives from several different sources: the larger social and political climate surrounding abortion, the moral dilemmas raised by their own involvement in the abortion procedure, and the behavior and the perceived attitudes of abortion recepients. The responses of counselors to the strains of working with abortion can be divided into 2 categories: \"ideological\" and \"structural.\" Among the most important ideological devices used by counselors are honoring the principle that the major purpose of abortion counseling is to facilitate decision-making for the client and an elation counselors experience upon encountering a wanted pregnancy, either among clients at the clinic or among their own associates.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244755"} {"pmid": "10244747", "title": "A very special patient and very special care.", "content": "A very special patient and very special care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244747"} {"pmid": "10244757", "title": "Prescription for success: the New Jersey program of pharmaceutical assistance to the aged.", "content": "Prescription for success: the New Jersey program of pharmaceutical assistance to the aged.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244757"} {"pmid": "10244756", "title": "Deinstitutionalization: those left behind.", "content": "Deinstitutionalization: those left behind.

and so what? This is a case study of the restructuring of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare that was announced by the Secretary, Joseph Califano, in March 1977. Balutis addressed the question: Did the reorganization accomplish the Secretary's purposes? Of the 12 goals outlined by Califano, the author feels that only those seeking to consolidate supervision over fraud and abuse were achieved. As a result of the reorganization, both Medicare and Medicaid are reviewed by a single staff, a change designed to achieve a \"more balanced, integrated, and active\" effort. Two of the purposes for restructuring were: improvement of internal efficiency and cost-savings; it is difficult to discern real progress in these areas. The author terms the overall effect \"traumatic\" because the process remains incomplete and other changes appear emminent. He concludes that reorganization is useful only for addressing the \"fragmentation of related programs among different organnizational units.\" Balutis argues that reorganization in and of itself is not likely to increase efficiency or reduce government costs, and may in fact, be counterproductive to these objectives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244826"} {"pmid": "10244827", "title": "\"Conflict management\" and \"conflict resolution\" are not synonymous terms.", "content": "\"Conflict management\" and \"conflict resolution\" are not synonymous terms. Robbins sees functional conflict as an absolute necessity within organizations and explicitly encourages it. He explains: \"Survival can result only when an organization is able to adapt to constant changes in the environment. Adaption is possible only through change, and change is stimulated by conflict.\" Robbins cites evidence indicating that conflict can be related to increased productivity and that critical thinking encourages well-developed decisions. He admits, however, that not all conflicts are good for the organization. Their functional or dysfunctional nature is determined by the impact of the conflict on the objectives of the organization. The author identifies several factors underlying the need for conflict stimulation: (1) managers who are surrounded by \"yes men\"; (2) subordinates who are afraid to admit ignorance or uncertainty; (3) decision-makers' excessive concern about hurting the feelings of others; or (4) an environment where new ideas are slow in coming forth. He suggests techniques for stimulating conflict; manipulating the communication channels (i.e., repression of information); changing the organizational structure (i.e., changes in size or position); and altering personal behavior factors (i.e., role incongruence). Robbins stresses that the actual method to be used in either resolving or stimulating conflict must be appropriate to the situation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244827"} {"pmid": "10244828", "title": "Preferential treatment: diagnostic photography comes first at this medical center.", "content": "Preferential treatment: diagnostic photography comes first at this medical center.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244828"} {"pmid": "10244829", "title": "Directional signals: paramedics receive emergency assistance from doctors via a radio network.", "content": "Directional signals: paramedics receive emergency assistance from doctors via a radio network.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244829"} {"pmid": "10244830", "title": "Remedies as ills.", "content": "Remedies as ills.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244830"} {"pmid": "10244831", "title": "Quality health care in a regulated society.", "content": "Quality health care in a regulated society.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244831"} {"pmid": "10244832", "title": "In California: new doc on the Hill.", "content": "In California: new doc on the Hill.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244832"} {"pmid": "10244833", "title": "Health maintenance organizations; July list--Public Health Service, HEW.", "content": "Health maintenance organizations; July list--Public Health Service, HEW.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244833"} {"pmid": "10244834", "title": "Executive Order 12184 of December 17, 1979, relating to the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research.", "content": "Executive Order 12184 of December 17, 1979, relating to the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244834"} {"pmid": "10244835", "title": "Statement of organization and functions of the commission: United States Commission on Civil Rights.

The author draws a comparison between higher education and the health care industry and suggests that costs can be reduced by avoiding duplication of facilities and developing modes of interinstitutional cooperation. An increase in institutional efficiency will reduce the reliance of the higher education community on public subsidies for operations.

Though most visible among public figures like Adolf Hitler, J. Edgar Hoover and Jim Jones, the problem also surfaces among private managers and their associates with dangerous implications for the firm. In folie à deux, the unusual behavior patterns of a manager in an isolated setting become mirrored by dependent subordinates, and the organization loses touch with its original goals and strategies. The author describes the dynamics of this phenomenon and details steps to remedy the situation. Once recognized, he suggests that the manager establish a trusting relationship with the instigator as a prelude to altering the behavior patterns, then transfer the subordinates and reorient the work climate so that independence and responsibility are encouraged. If the instigator is a powerful executive, the author suggests enlisting the support of a countervailing force, such as the government or a union, to guide the organization away from possible self-destructive adventures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244911"} {"pmid": "10244926", "title": "Pilot program reduces LOS for mothers and newborns.", "content": "Pilot program reduces LOS for mothers and newborns.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244926"} {"pmid": "10244927", "title": "Anxiety over transfer can cause increase in illness, death in elderly.", "content": "Anxiety over transfer can cause increase in illness, death in elderly.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244927"} {"pmid": "10244928", "title": "Massachusetts law expands patients' rights.", "content": "Massachusetts law expands patients' rights.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244928"} {"pmid": "10244929", "title": "Test your skills: utilization review.", "content": "Test your skills: utilization review.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244929"} {"pmid": "10244931", "title": "Photo psychology.", "content": "Photo psychology.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244931"} {"pmid": "10244930", "title": "California enacts new confidentiality law.", "content": "California enacts new confidentiality law.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244930"} {"pmid": "10244933", "title": "Our common senses: art therapy and therapeutic art.", "content": "Our common senses: art therapy and therapeutic art.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244933"} {"pmid": "10244932", "title": "The play's the thing: mental health in the spotlight.", "content": "The play's the thing: mental health in the spotlight.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244932"} {"pmid": "10244935", "title": "Puppets with no strings attached.", "content": "Puppets with no strings attached.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244935"} {"pmid": "10244934", "title": "Learning through Loose Association.", "content": "Learning through Loose Association.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244934"} {"pmid": "10244936", "title": "The lively arts of healing.", "content": "The lively arts of healing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244936"} {"pmid": "10244937", "title": "Private philanthropy and public service policy: a New York City case.", "content": "Private philanthropy and public service policy: a New York City case.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244937"} {"pmid": "10244942", "title": "Assessing financial position with 29 key ratios.", "content": "Assessing financial position with 29 key ratios.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244942"} {"pmid": "10244938", "title": "Children's health needs in the 1980s: a perspective on what foundations can do.", "content": "Children's health needs in the 1980s: a perspective on what foundations can do.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244938"} {"pmid": "10244939", "title": "Energy special on window management.", "content": "Energy special on window management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244939"} {"pmid": "10244940", "title": "The role of the community health education specialist in the delivery of health care.", "content": "The role of the community health education specialist in the delivery of health care.

Thirty causes for missing doses are cited. The causes were found to arise from misuse of the unit dose system by nurses, misunderstandings between the Nursery and Pharmacy Departments, or from oversights on the part of nurses or pharmacy personnel. Missing doses can be prevented in the future by instructing nurses in the use of the system, improving communication between the Departments of Pharmacy and Nursing concerning the needs of the patients, and being aware of mistakes that can occur so care can be taken to prevent them in both departments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244956"} {"pmid": "10244957", "title": "Readability--its applicability to education of patients by pharmacy.", "content": "Readability--its applicability to education of patients by pharmacy. The applicability of readability to the development of pharmacy educational materials is reviewed. The importance of reading skills must be recognized in all areas of education, including pharmacy patient education. If people are to perform certain tasks, they must understand the instructions for those tasks. To be understandable, the instructions must be written on the reading level of the people who will be following the instructions. Readability has been defined as those characteristics of reading materials, involving certain mental processes, that make for ease or difficulty of comprehension of the reading material. It is the task of the reader to use as few or as many of these mental processes as necessary to grasp the intended meaning of the material. It has been estimated that the average reading level of the American public is approximately 7th to 8th grade. However, many adults do not have sufficient reading skills to comprehend fully material written on these levels. Therefore, pharmacy educational material should be written on the reading level of the patient population it serves. Several readability formulas have been developed to evaluate the various characteristics of reading material that lead to reading comprehension. Among the ones recommended for use with pharmacy educational materials are the Fry Readability Graph and the Gunning Fog Index.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244957"} {"pmid": "10244960", "title": "Hospital reimbursement and clinical pharmacy programs.", "content": "Hospital reimbursement and clinical pharmacy programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244960"} {"pmid": "10244959", "title": "Work measurement is serious business.", "content": "Work measurement is serious business.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244959"} {"pmid": "10244961", "title": "Foods high in potassium.", "content": "Foods high in potassium.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244961"} {"pmid": "10244962", "title": "Literature searching by computer in a university-based drug information center: format of pharmacist-generated input data.", "content": "Literature searching by computer in a university-based drug information center: format of pharmacist-generated input data.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244962"} {"pmid": "10244968", "title": "Ambulatory care reorganization in teaching hospitals.", "content": "Ambulatory care reorganization in teaching hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244968"} {"pmid": "10244967", "title": "Professional staff acceptance of medical nurse practitioners in ambulatory care.", "content": "Professional staff acceptance of medical nurse practitioners in ambulatory care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244967"} {"pmid": "10244969", "title": "Dentistry and ambulatory health care.", "content": "Dentistry and ambulatory health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244969"} {"pmid": "10244963", "title": "Role of clinical information systems in controlling costs.", "content": "Role of clinical information systems in controlling costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10244963"} {"pmid": "10244966", "title": "Low cost ambulatory medical information system.", "content": "Low cost ambulatory medical information system.

In Canada there are no statutes specifically concerned with the legality or illegality of voluntary sterilization. Reviewed are a few Canadian and British cases which have discussed sterilization, but only as a factor in the obtaining of a divorce on grounds of cruelty, or in an action for assault based on lack of consent. There seems to be no legal decision in Canada or Britain on the particular issue of whether or not voluntary sterilization is lawful. Because of this uncertainty in the law, both physicians and patients are uncertain regarding their rights and obligations in the area of voluntary sterilization. Attention is directed to societal considerations (public policy and social morality), the rights and interests of the patient (basic human freedoms, the patient as consumer, rights of action by the patient's spouse, action for loss of consortium), rights and obligations of the doctor, breach of contract, and spousal consent. When law is made certain, through legislation, problems can arise at several stages of its progress. In its effort to urge to classify and make certain a difficult area of law, the legislature may overlegislate. Problems can arise in administration of a new law, as hospitals, physicians, the public, and lawyers must adjust to a different classification of an act. At this time it appears that no action lies against a physician who performs a voluntary sterilization, unless he/she performs the operation negligently.

In the past, Medical Economics has conducted an annual survey of fees charged by office based physicians in general practice, family and internal medicine, obstetrics-gynecology and pediatrics, and general surgery. This year, the data-base was expanded to include six other specialties. The article provides a series of tables exhibiting the fees charged by physicians for first office visits, return visits, history and physical exams, and other general procedures specific to particular specialties. It is pointed out that the fee for return office visits has doubled in eight years. The increase in costs of routine services accounts for much of the 9.6% increase in physicians' fees during the last year. Primary care doctors have initiated the highest fee hikes for 1978. This is attributed to young physicians entering the field and charging more than their older colleagues. Surgical fees have doubled in cost in the last ten years. For the past three years, physicians' fees have increased at the average rate of 9.5%, usually exceeding the Consumer Price Index. Physician services only account for 20% of the entire health care bill, but due to their visibility, they are subject to criticism and careful review.

The Institute of Medicine has developed a report outlining a plan to produce more primary-care physicians; reimbursement of commonly accepted health education and preventive medicine procedure is proposed. Dr. E. Harvey Estes, Chairman of the Study Team, reviews the recommendations offered by the Institute to achieve this goal. The Institute directs many of its suggestions at restructuring the reimbursement system. If the federal, state and private organizations reimbursed primary care physicians and specialists on a more equal scale, regardless of geographic location, there would be more incentive for new doctors to enter primary care and to practice in underserved communities. Third-party payors are encouraged to reimburse physicians and physician extenders at the same rate to reinforce the fact that they are all part of a practice team. In addition, it is recommended that third-parties reduce the number of fractional reimbursements and bureaucratic delays that currently take place.

Therefore, the present study was designed to determine if the airborne route of contamination was a potential source of bacterial inoculum for these units and to determine the maximum number of days units remained free of bacterial contamination. Disposable humidifiers were placed in both high and low volume patient areas of the recovery room. Units were used on multiple patients with only the cannula replaced between patients. Our results showed that these units do have the potential for becoming inoculated through the airborne route, but did not produce contaminated effluents greater than background air. Units remained sterile during the entire time in use in both high and low volume areas.

Using the setting of four California community colleges, consumer education courses were developed during 1972 to 1977.

Subjectively, participant response was enthusiastic, with frequent reports of daily usefulness and increased awareness of the pharmacist as a health information resource person.

Job satisfaction was measured with the job descriptive index (JDI). Approximately 29% of women versus 5% of men worked part-time. To avoid biasing the results, further analysis excluded all part-time pharmacists. Women earned less than their male counterparts primarily because fewer women held management positions. Hypothesizing that the discrepancy was due to the recent entry of women into the profession, the data were analyzed holding age, years in practice, and time in present job constant.

The competencies were assessed through a questionnaire which required the respondents to rank 17 competency labels in order of importance. The questionnaire was completed by 104 metropolitan residents and additional samples included 450 practitioners, 39 pharmacy educators, and 217 pharmacy students. Interesting differences appear between the rankings of the competencies among the consumers, practitioners, faculty, and students. Results indicate that consumers highly ranked the traditional roles of the pharmacist as a drug distributor. Faculty tend to rank highly the clinical roles of the pharmacist.

For example, certain clinically important ADRs are readily detected by cross-referencing drugs which are often used to treat the results of specific ADRs with certain causative agents. The potential therapeutic implications of such a system when restricted to clinically significant ADRs can be readily appreciated, especially in situations where the pharmacist's time in patient-care areas is limited.

Philosophers and practitioners who fail to do this are guilty of an a priori paternalism toward the dying, on whom their conclusions will be imposed. Until we have determined, together with the person involved, the way in which that person wants to view his or her death, any prior ethical judgment not only is presumptuous but infringes on the most basic freedom, that of determining the meaning that one's own experience shall have.

It's hard to imagine what our industrial society would be like if, for instance, there were no factories. How would things get produced, how would business survive? But are we, in fact, an industrial society? Are factories going to be the prime production place for a society that is conserving energy and doesn't need to travel to work because the silicon chip makes it more efficient to work at home? Who knows what the impact of energy conservation and women in the work force will be on future organizations? One thing we can be sure of, this author writes, is that whatever tomorrow brings, today's assumptions probably cannot account for it. We are, he asserts, entering a period of discontinuous change where the assumptions we have been working with as a society and in organizations are no longer necessarily true. He discusses three assumptions he sees fading--what causes efficiency, what work is, and what value organizational hierarchy has--and then gives some clues as to what our new assumptions might be. Regardless of what our assumptions actually are, however, our organizations and society will require leaders willing to take enormous risks and try unproved ways to cope with them.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245407"} {"pmid": "10245417", "title": "Competition continues to restrain hospital supplies price indexes.", "content": "Competition continues to restrain hospital supplies price indexes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245417"} {"pmid": "10245406", "title": "Rural clinics try out patient education in four demo projects.", "content": "Rural clinics try out patient education in four demo projects.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245406"} {"pmid": "10245410", "title": "Managing your boss: a compatible relationship with your superior is essential to being effective in your job.", "content": "Managing your boss: a compatible relationship with your superior is essential to being effective in your job.

These needs are more often than not conflicting and even at times mutually exclusive. First-level supervisors usually have mixed emotions about their situation and often lose their sense of identity as they try to perform this precarious balancing act. Today these supervisors are part of management, but chances are they were once among the employees they are now trying to supervise. Although first-level supervisors have the responsibility for implementing the goals of upper management, their organizational authority to carry out the necessary actions is frequently unclear and often insufficient.

The development and implementation of a comprehensive unit dose distribution system for respiratory medications is described. Initially, an evaluation of carts and unit dose packaging materials for respiratory medications was conducted. Subsequent to the selection, a unit dose processing and packaging program was developed in accordance with the Respiratory Therapy Medical Director's Standard Treatment Orders. A 24-hour exchange system, separate but paralleling the already operational unit dose system, was implemented. The primary advantages attributed to the implementation of this system were 1) a decrease in potential respiratory medication order interpretation/transcription errors; 2) a decrease in the waste of medication solutions; 3) a decrease in potential preparation errors by the respiratory therapists; 4) standardization and accuracy of respiratory medication dosages; and 5) a more equitable method of charging patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245490"} {"pmid": "10245475", "title": "\"Human rights\" for FNGs.", "content": "\"Human rights\" for FNGs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245475"} {"pmid": "10245493", "title": "Preparation and the hospitalized child.", "content": "Preparation and the hospitalized child.

Eight residents of the Chateau de Notre Dame Nursing Home were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. A pretest was administered to identify any significant differences in RO and behavior functioning between the two groups. The specific goals and objectives for the RO program were then formulated from information gathered on the pretest. The experimental group received two 30-minute music-based RO sessions a week for 8 weeks, while the control group received the same number of traditional RO sessions without music. Upon completion of the treatment, the posttest was administered to each subject. A two-way \"mixed effects\" analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.

For the past thirty years, researchers have surveyed attitudes of providers and patients to the disclosure of the diagnosis and prognosis to the dying cancer patient. Though the lay population has expressed the wish to know over time, a change in provider attitudes is apparent: physicians are now more likely to inform their dying patients of the truth than before. This trend is viewed against a number of precipitating factors: changes in perception of the impact of disclosure and changes in the basic ethical norms related to disclosure with new cohorts of younger physicians reflecting these changes. These correlate with changes in underlying social structure brought about in part by the shift to chronic disease as the paradigm for medical care. With increasingly bureaucratized health care delivery, the physician must collaborate with others who may hold different judgments about what ought to be disclosed. Some nurses not only find it right to disclose, but also in their professional interest. In such settings, honesty may be necessary to avoid conflicting messages to the patient. These shifts may signal underlying shifts in the sick role and in the medical professional role with the patient more active and more knowledgeable in medical decisions and the physician serving as a source of information and counsel.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245666"} {"pmid": "10245667", "title": "Nursing the dying: implications of Kübler-Ross' staging theory.", "content": "Nursing the dying: implications of Kübler-Ross' staging theory. Society's failure to value the work of nurses, the professionals most frequently involved in the care of the dying, is attributed to a cultural definition of nursing as a second-class occupation and the public's need to deny the realities of the suffering and indignities often associated with the process of dying. Efforts within the field of nursing to improve the care of the dying, by shifting emphasis from a narrow physical focus to a more holistic patient and family focus, preceded the past decade's contributions of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Although her staging theory has been cited as having limitations in development and in interpretation, Kübler-Ross' influence towards increasing awareness of the needs of the dying and others experiencing major losses has been substantial as evidenced by many references to staging theory in nursing literature, by a marked increase in attention to holistic care of the dying in the basic and continuing education programs of nursing, and by specialty role development in nursing care of the dying. This decade has also witnessed the major growth of professionalism in nursing, including strides towards professional autonomy. Conflict with the traditional pattern of medical dominance and bureacratic constraints in institutions is inevitable, especially when the medical goal of cure is not attainable.

This article compares the number of legal abortions performed in the United States and Great Britain. It reveals that the rate of abortion in the United States is more than twice that of Britain. The author analyzes the reasons for the different rates. The British abortion act became effective in 1968; before that date about 100,000 illegal abortions were performed each year, causing, in 1966, 47 maternal deaths. In 1976 legal abortion rate was 11/100,000 and maternal mortality had dropped to 2.2/100,000 abortions. The highest number of abortions is in the age group 20-24, and among single women. Abortion on request was legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court only in 1973. In 1976 the abortion rate was 23.2/100,000, and maternal death rate about 3/100,000 abortions. Thus, the abortion rate in the U.S. is more than twice that of Britain. Reasons accounting for such great disparity may be: 1) in Britain contraception was always more popular, legal since 1930, and mostly free; 2) abortion rate among minorities in Britain has little effect on the general ratio, which is not the case in the U.S.; 3) public censure for an unmarried mother is much less in Britain than in the U.S.; and, 4) contrary to public opinion, sexual equality between sexes is much more advanced in Britain than in the U.S.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245728"} {"pmid": "10245730", "title": "How to conserve O.R. garments.", "content": "How to conserve O.R. garments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245730"} {"pmid": "10245729", "title": "Use of the telephone in child play therapy.", "content": "Use of the telephone in child play therapy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245729"} {"pmid": "10245731", "title": "Survey on hospital penetration of rental service.", "content": "Survey on hospital penetration of rental service.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245731"} {"pmid": "10245733", "title": "A sewing room that cuts costs.", "content": "A sewing room that cuts costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245733"} {"pmid": "10245732", "title": "Significant issues in medicine and law 1978-1979.", "content": "Significant issues in medicine and law 1978-1979.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245732"} {"pmid": "10245734", "title": "A voice of reason: balancing new technology with health & safety.", "content": "A voice of reason: balancing new technology with health & safety.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245734"} {"pmid": "10245735", "title": "VA clinic saves space with automated records retrieval.", "content": "VA clinic saves space with automated records retrieval.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245735"} {"pmid": "10245736", "title": "Health Resources Administration: determination of population of health service areas.", "content": "Health Resources Administration: determination of population of health service areas.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245736"} {"pmid": "10245737", "title": "Medical participation in control of certain open-panel medical prepayment plans: Federal Trade Commission.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing in this notice a statement of policy concerning interim guidelines for the nutrient composition and nutrient levels in infant formulas. The recommendations on standards for nutrient levels in infant formulas made by the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1976 should be followed by infant formula manufacturers as interim guidelines until revision in the existing infant formula nutrient composition regulation (21 CFR 105,65) is completed. This statement of policy from the U.S. Food and Drug Administrative (FDA) states that the standards for the nutrient levels in infant formulas, set by the Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Pediatrics (CON/AAP) in 1976, be followed by infant formula manufacturers until revisions in the existing infant formula nutrient composition regulation is completed. Because the list of essential nutrients in the current regulation which was established in 1976 is not as comprehensive as that given for the CON/AAP recommendations, the FDA is recommending to manufacturers that the additional information be used in conjunction with the current regulations.

Courts historically have assumed law-making powers when basic human values were at stake. If laws, passed by politicians in legislative bodies, are contrary to the ethics and values of the society, these laws must be struck done by the courts. Society places its highest trust in judges, not in politicians. Society expects its judges to uphold the values of society.

This review process enables a clinical evaluator to perceive more easily the clinically important drug-adverse event patterns. The method can incorporate drug use data; this enables a drug's proportional share of specific adverse events, relative to its therapeutic class, to be compared to its respective proportional share of drug use. The assumption is that the adverse event distribution of drugs in a therapeutic class should be the same as the distribution of drug use in that class, if all drugs in the class were to carry the same risk.

Theories developed from the organizational contingency perspective suggest that organizations with bureaucratic structures will have particular difficulty accomplishing the nonroutine tasks associated with normalization. Our major purpose was to test the usefulness of such theories for the evaluation of mental retardation facilities by ascertaining whether a less bureaucratic organization for the mentally retarded would achieve greater success than a more bureaucratic organization. The closing of a large public hospital and the subsequent transfer of most of its residents to two new facilities (one of which was more bureaucratic than the other) allowed us to examine bureaucracy's effect on treatment. As predicated, the analysis showed that the less bureaucratic organization produced a greater average positive change in behavior than did the more bureaucratic organization. A number of clinical and demographic characteristics of the residents which could have influenced the observed changes in behavioral level were identified and controlled.

This system contrasts with that in operation in the U.S. where pregnant women utilize physician-centered, not client-centered, maternity care.

Unlike other countries which have established some form of national health insurance, the United States is debating this profound social program in facing all problems of financing and managing personal health services simultaneously: elimination of cost at time of service, sharing this cost equitably through the tax system, distributing the services equitably goegraphically, controlling rapidly rising costs and managing the organizational structure of services. Originally in other countries the primary objectives were to free citizens of the burden of costly illnesses, improve access across income groups, and share the costs more or less equally. Now other countries are expressing the problems found simultaneously by the United States. It is argued that universal and comprehensive national health insurance spreads money and resources so thinly that specific and important problems such as pockets of high infant mortality or curable diseases are obscured and ignored. The United States sould set up a health program which targets specific problems and mitigates high cost episodes rather than indulge itself in a comprehensive and universal national health insurance. This proposal is not politically feasible, however, and predictions are made as to what will happen in the United States within the politically and culturally determined range of debatable options.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245883"} {"pmid": "10245884", "title": "Effects of financial incentives on physicians' specialty and location decisions.", "content": "Effects of financial incentives on physicians' specialty and location decisions. Available information is reviewed on the effects of financial incentives on physicians' specialty and location decisions. Income of physicians varies by specialty and geographic area, but evidence is limited on the effects of these differences on career decisions. Only two studies have been done on the relationship of oncome to specialty choice. These studies showed that the impact of income on specialty choice, if any, is weak. Studies on the relationship of both reimbursement levels and income to physician location choice generally concluded that there is a small, positive correlation between these financial factors and physician density. Thus, increasing physicians' income appears to be viable public policy for attracting physicians to underserved areas. Though rough estimates are calculated of the cost of attracting additional physicians, based on studies reviewed, conclusions on costs of incentive programs are premature.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245884"} {"pmid": "10245885", "title": "The decision-making process: implications for the medical school organization.", "content": "The decision-making process: implications for the medical school organization. In this article, the authors make use of some contemporary models of decision-making to show how the process of decision-making can become more self-conscious, and thus both more enlightened and more assured. The approach is an examination of several models examined both from the perspective of the steps in the process itself, as well as general observations about the decision-making process. The practical focus is on the medical school organization with its unique characteristics. This article also examines the decision-making process through a comparison of two types of organizational structure (pyramidal and matrix) found in most medical schools. Certain constants emerge from this article that positively enhance good decision-making. These elements are: (1) the rapidity of change; (2) the critical need for a wide range of alternatives; (3) an understanding of both the organizational structure and human factors involved; and (4) the necessity of involving others in the decision-making process. By analyzing various modes of decision-making and presenting options, this article should be of real assistance to administrators.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245885"} {"pmid": "10245886", "title": "Assuring professional competence in medicine: expectations of the public.", "content": "Assuring professional competence in medicine: expectations of the public. A trend toward increased public involvement in assuring professional competence in medicine has resulted as an outgrowth of the consumer movement, the public disenchantment with many traditional institutions, including professions, and broad social acceptance of the concept of health care as a basic human right. Expectations of consumers and the public include a broader definition of professional competence which includes caring and ability to communicate as aspects of curing. Knowledgeable consumers are concerned that inadequate safeguards exist to preclude physicians from practicing beyond their scope of competence and to assure continued competence of a physician over time. While assuring competence is the responsibility of the medical profession, it serves a public function and must be held accountable to public and consumer interests. Consumers should be involved more directly in the process. They can bring valuable judgment to the human questions relating to competence. They can bring a more holistic and humanitarian view to the process. Involvement of consumers, particularly in relation to hearing grievances, would serve to increase public confidence in certifying institutions. They can help assure that public, not merely professionals, interests are served: To assure that consumer representation makes a significant contribution, consumer members of certifying bodies should be provided with adequate orientation, continued training and direct staff assistance to aid in understanding technical issues and evaluating a technical recommendations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245886"} {"pmid": "10245887", "title": "Electronic fetal monitoring: is it effective?

To assess community awareness of a community mental health center, a telephone survey was conducted, using a random stratified sample. In order to provide comparative analyses, two other mental health agencies were included in the study. Five specific issues were addressed: (a) the percentage of the population that was aware of the agencies, (b) inter-agency comparisons, (c) heterogeneity of awareness levels among geographic areas, (d) the relative merit of different sources of information, and (e) the relationship between awareness and demographic factors. The results indicated relatively high levels of awareness for the three agencies (X = 57%). There were, however, significant differences in awareness levels between agencies and between geographic areas.

Personnel performance evaluation should be an integral part of the monitoring of a service program's efforts, particularly in those programs utilizing outreach workers, for the effectiveness of the program will initially depend on the success of such a service element. Variables need to be selected and criteria need to be established in order to operationalize the measurements to be used and to be able to evaluate performance. The contribution of outreach personnel performance to the effectiveness of a personal health service program is based on conditions stated in the following assumptions: 1) if the working capacity of the outreach workers is maintained at a satisfactory level, the service program will have the capacity to contact and follow-up a sufficient number of consumers, therefore increasing the probabilities that the service program will succeed in achieving its objective of a high degree of \"population coverage;\" if the outreach worker is sufficiently \"convincing,\" the services offered will be accepted by the consumer; and 3) if the outreach worker complies with the standards, techniques, and procedures set forth by the program, the quality of services is ensured. Based on these assumptions, it seems reasonable to consider working capacity, and compliance with standards, techniques, and procedures as variables in evaluating and monitoring outreach personnel performance, provided that these variables can be operationalized for measurement. The opportunity to apply these concepts was provided during the recent efforts to evaluate a primary care program in Cali, Colombia. PRIMOPS (Spanish acronym for Research Program in Health Delivery Models) is a primary care Maternal and Child Health/Family Planning Program designed to contribute to the reduction of mortality, morbidity, and fertility of the \"target\" area.

Using the information gathered through the record system and the supervision report, an effort to measure the performance of PRIMOPS promotoras was conducted. It was found that the variables of working capacity, convincing capacity, and compliance with standards, techniques, and procedures can be adapted to programs with features similar to those of the PRIMOPS program. Consequently, they should be taken into consideration as managerial tools in the efforts to assess and monitor personnel performance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245922"} {"pmid": "10245926", "title": "Writing made easy for nursing home administrators.", "content": "Writing made easy for nursing home administrators.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245926"} {"pmid": "10245927", "title": "Determinants of job satisfaction in nursing care units.", "content": "Determinants of job satisfaction in nursing care units.

Essentially, the argument is 1 of equal protection. It is suggested that abortion be viewed as presenting a problem that might be termed \"the law of samaritanism\" -- the law regarding obligations imposed on certain individuals to provide assistance to others. In American law it is a deeply rooted principle that an individual is ordinarily not required to volunteer assistance to another individual who is in danger or in need of aid. The argument presented maintains that if a pregnant woman is required to carry the fetus to term and deliver it, then she is being compelled to be a Good Samaritan. It is argued further that if the generally limited scope of obligations of samaritanism under current law are considered, and the special nature of the burdens imposed on pregnant women by laws forbidding abortion are also considered, the obvious conclusion is that the equal protection clause forbids imposition of these burdens on pregnant women. The argument is developed in a lengthy form and calls for an extended discussion of the law of samaritanism. The uniqueness of the abortion case also creates problems as the equal protection argument is approached, and an approach to equal protection questions is sketched.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245966"} {"pmid": "10245967", "title": "The juridical status of the fetus: a proposal for legal protection of the unborn.", "content": "The juridical status of the fetus: a proposal for legal protection of the unborn.

The attempt is made in this discussion to demonstrate that the Supreme Court in deciding the Roe v. Wade case should not have decided an abortion case when it did and that the opinion was almost destined to be bad in that the Court could find no persuasive rationale in the pre-Roe cases for each of the points in its decision. In 1973 political forces were actively debating abortion. Abortions had been prohibited by most states, except to save a woman's life, since the 19th century. In the 5 years immediately preceding Roe, 13 states had revised their statutes to resemble the Model Penal Code's provisions, which permitted abortions if the pregnancy threatened the woman's life, if it would gravely impair her physical or mental health, if it resulted from rape or incest, or if the child would be born with grave physical or mental defects. 4 states had removed all restrictions on the permissible reasons for seeking an abortion before a pregnancy passed specified lengths. In short, in many states the political process had yet to decide on abortion, but Roe's rejection of Texas's statute voided almost every other state's statutes as well. Between 1970 and 1972, a flurry of constitutional challenges hit the courts. 3 years was hardly sufficient time for the judicial system to evolve sound analysis for such an emotionally charged issue as abortion. The Court could justifiably have allowed the dispute to simmer longer in the lower courts. There is some indication that a sounder case law might evolved if given time, but that was prevented by Roe. The Court could not find a rationale in 1973, but it decided anyway, suggesting a legislative rather than a judicial process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245969"} {"pmid": "10245970", "title": "Abortion and the presidential election of 1976: a multivariate analysis of voting behavior.", "content": "Abortion and the presidential election of 1976: a multivariate analysis of voting behavior.

Analysis revealed that despite the wide news coverage given to the issue and the intense effort on the part of the National Council of Catholic Bishops to politicize the abortion issue, voters gave little priority to the abortion issue. Less than 1/2 of 1% of the votes cast by the respondents could be accounted for by the voter's opinion on abortion. Although both Carter and Ford opposed a constitutional amendment restricting abortion, Ford's position was closer to the position of the pro-life groups than Carter's position. When other factors were controlled, 47.7% of the respondents who were opposed to abortion for any reason voted for Carter and 54.4% of those who though abortion should never be forbidden voted for Carter. These findings indicated that there was a relationship between voting behavior and abortion attitudes but that the relationship was very mild. Abortion was certainly not a major issue in the minds of the voters. When the respondents were asked to name the 3 major issues in the campaign only 1/10 of 1% mentioned the abortion issue.

This article discusses whether the decision led to more public support for that position, and where in the U.S. the increase in support has been most drastic. The most recent public opinion polls indicate about 60% public support legalized abortion, while it was only 45% before 1973. Support has also increased even if pregnancy is not judged to be detrimental to the mother's health, or if it is not the result of rape and/or incest, but even if it is simply requested for economic or purely personal reasons. People under 30, with college education, men and Protestants, seem to be the staunchest supporters of abortion on demand. There has also been an increase in the number of Catholics supporting abortion. Support for abortion increased in most states between 1969-1973, particularly in the West and in the Northwest. The fight to deny federal funds for abortion is still raging in Congress; some studies indicate that the religion of the legislators is the most powerful predictor of voting on abortion, and that the decision is a very personal one, and not easily altered by the lobbying of groups on either side.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245971"} {"pmid": "10245972", "title": "The politics of abortion in the House of Representatives in 1976.", "content": "The politics of abortion in the House of Representatives in 1976.

Between June 24-August 10, 1976 there were 3 roll call votes on the amendment in the House of Representatives and during this period support for the amendment increased from 54%-69%. Multiple classification analysis was used to analyze the relative influence of 11 independent variables on the voting behavior of the representatives. The 11 variables included 1) the age, educational level, sex, and religious affliation of the representative; 2) the representative's party affliation, degree of constituent support, and previous voting record on liberal issues; and 3) the average income, racial composition, geographical location, and the % of urban residents in the representative's district. The factor which served as the best indicator of the representative's vote on the amendment was the representative's previous voting record on liberal issues. Those with more liberal voting records tended to vote against the amendment and those with more conservative voting records tended to vote for the amendment. The 2nd best predictor of amendment votes was the religious affliation of the representative. Catholic representatives, compared to Protestant and Jewish representatives, were more likely to support the amendment. Geographical location of the representative's district was a moderate indicator of the representative's vote on the amendment. Representatives from the south were more likely to support the amendment.

In recent years, equity, choice, and efficiency issues in the provision of education have received much attention and analysis. Yet, in the area of other state services for children (health, protective services, day care, etc.), there has been scant concern for equity, efficiency, or choice, despite the fact that out-of-school influences can be crucial in determining in-school performance. This paper reports on work in progress that reaches the following initial conclusions: 1. In the field of children's social services, data compilation is approximately 20 years behind the state of the art for education. Basic data on services provided is not collected for submission to state or federal authorities in any standard format on a recurring basis. 2. From the limited data available, the access of children to quantity and quality in social service programs varies enormously within states. The variations are much larger than those discovered in the public financing of education even before the recent school finance reform movement (1968-1978). 3. Federal allocations to states for social service programs comprise a substantial proportion of state Title XX budgets. For several reasons, the degree of accountability for these funds is less than that for federal education grants. 4. In all three states Title XX state allocations to localities are purported to be based on need. Closer examination of the formulas, and interviews with policy makers, revealed that Title XX allocations are determined primarily by political criteria.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10245994"} {"pmid": "10246004", "title": "Your x-ray soon may result in much less harmful radiation.", "content": "Your x-ray soon may result in much less harmful radiation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10246004"} {"pmid": "10246005", "title": "Electromagnetic interference--hazardous to health.", "content": "Electromagnetic interference--hazardous to health.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10246005"} {"pmid": "10246007", "title": "Coordination of client services.", "content": "Coordination of client services.

The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is proposing to extend use of the new Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) to all hospitals participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. We are seeking public comment on this proposal and on whether to apply the FSES to intermediate care and skilled nursing facilities. The Fire Safety Evaluation System (FSES) was designed by the National Bureau of Standards. It defines the combinations of widely accepted fire safety systems and structural arrangements which can be used by health care facilities to meet safety standards equal to or exceeding those in the Life Safety Code. The FSES provides a framework which guarantees that the high standards of fire safety necessary to protect patients will be met and which is flexible enough to allow for new advances in safety technology and practice. It is based on our experience, which clearly demonstrates that the Life Safety Code can be implemented more effectively and without waste if certain changes are made in the procedures for achieving these mandated levels of safety.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10246078"} {"pmid": "10246079", "title": "Office of the Secretary of Defense--Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS); clarification of medical indications for head and body CT scans.

The purpose of pediatric risk reduction is to both decrease the force of mortality acting in infancy and childhood and to promote the development of physically and emotionally comfortable adults. Due to the fact that much of the organism's capacity for optimal growth and development seems to be established during childhood, the ultimate potential of pediatric risk reduction is the improvement of the quality of life throughout its entire course. In discussing the concern of pediatric health promotion through risk reduction, attention is directed to the risks to children (mortality and morbidity risks), recommendations for pediatric risk reduction (family planning, prenatal care, care at birth, postnatal followup, and child health supervision), and children's life style and society. Risks may be divided into those affecting the child by their impact on the mother and those that affect the child directly. Maternal mortality represents a loss to any child in the family, as well as being the possible cause of an associated fetal or neonatal death. Infant mortality is largely due to conditions related to premature birth and congenital anomalies. True family planning is an essential measure for the reduction of pediatric risk. Possibly the most helpful approaches include the provision of sex education to adolescents and ensuring the availability of birth control devices.

Patients were given information on the expected sequence of events on the day of surgery and instructions in postoperative self-care activities. Findings indicate that a differential effect of providing information was dependent on the patient's level of preoperative fear, with high-fear patients benefiting most from information. Patients in the high preoperative-fear group who received either the pamphlet or the pamphlet and a nurse visit had shorter postoperative hospitalizations, switched from injected to oral medication sooner, scored higher on an index of energy and movement, and rated their appetites as better when compared with patients in either the nurse-visit or control groups.

The first phase of EPA's regulations implementing this directive are contained in Parts 262 and 263 of this chapter (which were promulgated on February 26, 1980) and Parts 261, 264, 265, 122, 123, and 124 of this chapter (which are being promulgated today). This regulation (Part 260) sets forth definitions of words and phrases which appear in Parts 261 through 265 and contains provisions which are generally applicable to all those regulations. It was originally published on February 26, 1980, concurrent with the promulgation of EPA's Part 262 and 263 regulations.

Nonprofit hospitals currently enjoy favored legal status. In this Article, Professor Clark critically examines the basis for such preferential treatment. He begins by identifying endemic problems in the health care industry and then explores the relationship between nonprofit hospitals and these problems. He finds that the evidence does not persuasively establish that nonprofit hospitals serve as fiduciaries rather than exploiters, and that nonprofits engage in much involuntary cross-subsidization of medical services. He concludes that the legal favoritism for the nonprofit form is based not on sound reasoning and hard data but on intuition.

Ongoing measurement of various work components must be conducted and retrospectively compared to make meaningful use of production planning techniques. The pharmacy department at Brokaw Hospital, which utilizes a unit dose drug distribution system combined with intravenous admixture and monitoring services, has developed an internal measurement system based on key variable weighted units of service. Each component is assigned a value depending on time needed (in minutes) for completion. The units are tabulated daily, with the monthly sum being divided by departmental manhours to yield a monthly productivity ratio. This ratio is used as an aid in making decisions related to work assignments and staff scheduling. Compared against the productivity ratio of a benchmark month of known departmental efficiency (derived by measuring all activities for the month divided by man-hours consumed), projections can be made for future manpower requirements.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10246866"} {"pmid": "10246867", "title": "Analysis of dispensing activities before and after decentralization of pharmaceutical services.", "content": "Analysis of dispensing activities before and after decentralization of pharmaceutical services.

Computer programs were used to collect and analyze drug handling and revenue data during a prestudy control period and three equal-length study periods after decentralization of pharmaceutical services for five patient care areas of the hospital. All telephone calls to the central pharmacy were recorded and classified by type during 21 days of the prestudy period and were compared with 21 days of the second postimplementation period. The mean number of doses handled decreased for all patient care areas. After decentralization the number of telephone calls to the central pharmacy requesting clinical drug information, as well as distributive information, decreased sharply.

Although one may not think of the major dental diseases--dental caries and periodontal disease--as particularly serious ones, the magnitude of the problem, as evidenced by the universality of the diseases and the extensive levels of untreated pathology, results in a public health problem of major proportions. The field has been expanding in scope and complexity with more emphasis being placed on the total dental care delivery system and its impact on oral health status. The concept of oral health has a very different meaning and value for people in different cultures and socio-economic classes. The prevalent philosophy in the U.S. places the prime responsibility for dental health on the individual.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10246986"} {"pmid": "10246996", "title":

The establishment of a centralized, intravenous solution/admixture drug program in a hospital enhances the quality of patient care. Costs for personnel, equipment, and space have constrained the growth of such a service in the past. A method of preparation for admixture units, which capitalizes on the economics of volume and employs personnel at levels of training consistent with need, is proposed. This technique, utilizing freezing, long-term storage at -20 degrees C, and thawing by exposure in a microwave oven minutes before intended use, surmounts the real and perceived difficulties in many planned or existing admixture programs. A strong element of prospective quality control can be introduced. Where demand is insufficient to justify a separate activity, cooperative arrangements among hospitals will bring all the advantages of central admixture to each. It appears that reductions can be made in the pharmacy hours devoted to admixture. Waste of any unused, reconstituted drugs or prepared units that were not administered may be diminished. Thus, there may be substantial savings for existing admixture programs, if the technique described is adopted. The ultimate form of implementation in each institution, as always, is dependent upon the special \"personality\" of the hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247135"} {"pmid": "10247137", "title": "Group life and health coverage in Brazil.", "content": "Group life and health coverage in Brazil.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247137"} {"pmid": "10247138", "title": "Emergency medical services in the United Kingdom.", "content": "Emergency medical services in the United Kingdom.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247138"} {"pmid": "10247139", "title": "Jump crews: an approach to rural emergency care.", "content": "Jump crews: an approach to rural emergency care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247139"} {"pmid": "10247140", "title": "EMT-P-operated motorcycle rescue, a preliminary note.", "content": "EMT-P-operated motorcycle rescue, a preliminary note.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247140"} {"pmid": "10247142", "title": "A study of cardiopulmonary resuscitation technical skill retention among trained EMT-A's.", "content": "A study of cardiopulmonary resuscitation technical skill retention among trained EMT-A's.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247142"} {"pmid": "10247141", "title": "The new standards for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiac care.", "content": "The new standards for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiac care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247141"} {"pmid": "10247143", "title": "House staff knowledge of blood component therapy: an evaluation.", "content": "House staff knowledge of blood component therapy: an evaluation.

On admission, all study patients received normal history and physical examinations and were photographed by a standardized procedure that provided an accurate estimate of type and extent of body involvement. A functional history was taken from PERC patients that provided information concerning their ability to cope at home, at work, and socially; the extent and appropriateness of their self-care practices; and their knowledge concerning the pathophysiology and etiology of psoriasis and the names and actions of the medications they were using. Individualized patient education programs were designed with reference to the medical and functional information and implemented in the three weeks of day care. Photographic assessment and the functional history were repeated at three weeks, six months and twelve months. Hospital patients were reassessed at six and twelve months and a functional history was taken at six months. The functional status of PERC and hospital patients was compared at six months.

A major disappointment with educational evaluative research in general, and health education evaluation in particular, is all too often outcome of \"no significant difference\" or \"no effect.\" Reviewing the evaluation literature one finds experienced investigators such as Donald Campbell, Marcia Guttentag, and Carol Weiss lamenting the fact that educational programs persistently fail to uncover statistical differences. This problem continues to plague evaluators whose experiential evidence indicates that the program may have produced some very desirable results. Thus, the traditional methods of evaluation are increasingly being called into question. Evaluators are presenting theories to explain the \"no effects\" phenomenon and alternate methodologies are being proposed in the literature. This article suggests that health educators not only acknowledge the existence of this dilemma, but develop a working knowledge of alternate or qualitative data methodologies, their possibilities, and their limitations, thus encouraging the evaluation of those health programs which have traditionally been classified as undoable.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247146"} {"pmid": "10247132", "title": "Residencies in review.", "content": "Residencies in review.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247132"} {"pmid": "10247147", "title": "DRG concept generates mixed reaction in hospital industry as research continues.", "content": "DRG concept generates mixed reaction in hospital industry as research continues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247147"} {"pmid": "10247148", "title": "Usefulness of case mix systems as a tool in hospital management must be determined.", "content": "Usefulness of case mix systems as a tool in hospital management must be determined.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247148"} {"pmid": "10247151", "title": "Want to get your AHR complaints heard?

The practical merit of a labeling theory approach to mental illness is examined and assessed through an exploration of its application in terms of public policy, i.e., community mental health policy in the state of California since 1968. Primary focus is placed on the impact of the deinstitutionalization of mental health services in that state, and the release of former mental patients into the community. Similarities in the fundamental ideological underpinnings of labeling theory, an associated conspiratorial model of mental illness, and contemporary California mental health policy, are presented and examples of policy input by labeling theorists and researchers are detailed. The impact of the California policy on the mentally ill is generally negatively assessed in terms of three major criteria: (1) rehabilitation; (2) reintegration; and (3) quality and continuity of care. The \"translation\" of several theoretical misconceptions regarding mental illness, caused by putting labeling theory into official policy, is suggested to lie at the root of many of the policy's implementation problems.

This paper describes the recording system employed in the Community Health Programme of Christian Medical College, Ludhiana and how it enables us to reach not only deprived children, but those in danger of deprivation, the majority being the children of the socioeconomically underprivileged. Many are nutritionally normal at 12 months but 57 per cent of the males and 75 per cent of the females suffer from malnutrition in the 2nd year, 50 per cent of females having severe malnutrition. The etiology, discerned from a study of the deprived, allowed a preventive approach to be designed for those at risk. Intensive nutrition education is given in the homes, commencing as each baby reaches 5 months, and mothers are taught to feed them on suitable modifications of the food available in Punjab homes. The results in respect of 123 babies who had a minimum of 6 months of this care, are described. Complete compliance was achieved in 82 per cent and in the rest partial compliance was achieved. The nutritional status of these infants, compared with a control group, improved greatly, especially in females in whom the prevalence of normal nutrition rose from 26 to 61 per cent and that of severe malnutrition fell from 50 to 17 per cent. The success of this approach depends on an accurate knowledge of the community since this allows priorities to be selected with clarity and maximum effort to be expanded upon those in greatest need.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247244"} {"pmid": "10247242", "title": "Challenge of infant mortality in India.", "content": "Challenge of infant mortality in India. The paper analyses the existing constraints in the delivery of adequate health services to children. A strategy for containing the infant mortality due to neonatal causes, diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory infections is presented: suggestions are given for better training of manpower for child health services, continuous supply of drugs and equipment and adoption of the \"at risk\" approach for identification of children likely to die, without intervention. The question of the adequacy of health services for children in India is examined. Focus is on the constraints--- budget, quantity and quality of manpower, drugs and supplies, and unrealistic work schedules -- and the leading causes of death. The funds that have been allocated for children are not in proportion to the seriousness of their diseases or the weight of their numbers. This situation can be corrected by specified allocation to some programs which require organization. The shortage of personnel and the inadequacy of their training in child health also needs correction. The budget provided to primary health centers for drugs and supplies is markedly inadequate, so that for long periods the primary health center staff can only offer advice or prescription. Finally, the work schedules of some categories of workers seem unrealistic. Good antenatal care is essential, and the treatment of anemia of pregnancy and immunization against tetanus appears to be critical. Natal and postnatal care in the hands of a trained birth attendant lowers both maternal and infant mortality. Reduction of mortality from diarrhea can be achieved by concentrating on the education of the public regarding what is clean water and food and the availability of oral rehydration mixture to the community health workers and his or her training in its use. If community health workers begin referring to physicians all infants with a respiratory rate in excess of 50 per minute, few cases would be missed. In that most of the deaths occur in grade 3 or grade 4 malnutrition, the community workers and multipurpose workers need to be trained to identify such cases during their routine home visits.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247242"} {"pmid": "10247254", "title": "Urban hospital closings in the face of racial change.", "content": "Urban hospital closings in the face of racial change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247254"} {"pmid": "10247255", "title": "Hospice: the rise and implications of a new addition to the health care scene.", "content": "Hospice: the rise and implications of a new addition to the health care scene.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247255"} {"pmid": "10247256", "title": "Antitrust ruling could affect several health professions.", "content": "Antitrust ruling could affect several health professions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247256"} {"pmid": "10247246", "title": "Expanded programme of immunisation for children.", "content": "Expanded programme of immunisation for children.

The study concerns the problem of low birth weight as seen in a prospectively studied cohort from a South Delhi urban community covering 23,700 families and 1,19,799 population over a four year period from 1969-73. The incidence of low birth weight was 22.9 per cent of which 2.7 per cent had a birth weight of 2000 gms. or less and 20.2 per cent had a birth weight 2001-2500 gms. Maternal height of 140 cms or less and pregravid weight of 35 kg or less were associated with the occurrence of low birth weight infant. The mortality was related inversely to birth weight and the gestation affected the outcome directly. The mortality rates declined sharply in infants of birth weight 2001-2500 gms but was still high as compared to infants of birth weight more than 2.5 kg. The later physical growth was affected by the initial birth weight. The study was conducted under the research project 01-658-2 funded by the National Centre for Health Statistics, 3700 East West Highway, Hyattsville, Maryland-20782, U.S.A. In a 4 year prospective study of all infants born to 23,700 urban families in 9 localities in South Delhi, the birth weight of 22.9% of the 6,026 infants, who were born during the course of the study, was 2500 gm or less. 20.2% of the infants weighed between 2001-2500 gm and 2.7% weighted less than 2000 gm. The mortality rate for the low birth weight infants throughout the perinatal, neonatal, and infant period was higher than for the normal birth weight infants; however, there was a sharp decline in mortality for the group which weighted 2001-2500 gm at birth when compared with the group which weighted 1501-2000 gm. Moraltiy for all birth weight groups was 2-4 times higher for births with a gestation duration of less than 37 weeks compared to those with a gestation of more than 37 weeks. Low birth weight affected later physical growth. 24 months after birth, the weight of infants with a birth weight of 1500-1750 was 7.8 kg and their length was 76.0 cm. For infants with birth weights of 1750-2000 gm the respective measurements were 8.1 kg and 76.9 cm. For infants with birth weights of 2001-2250 gm, the measurements were 9.0 kg and 77.3 cm, and for the 2251-2500 gm infants they were 9.5 kg and 79.5 cm. Low birth weight was associated with 1) extreme maternal age; 2) maternal height of 140 cm or less and a pregravid weight of 35 kg or less; and 3) maternal anemia. The study was conducted from November 1969 to March 1973. All married women who were located in a house to house census were followed up every 2 months, and those who became pregnant were then followed throughout their pregnancy. The infants who were born to these women were examined during the first for the next 2 years. Tables show: 1) birth weight by maternal age, parity, height, weight, and hemoglobin; 2) perinatal neonatal and infant mortality by birth weight group and by birth weight group according to gestation duration; and 3) weight, height, and head circumference of infants at periodic follow-up for 24 months after birth for each birth weight group.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247245"} {"pmid": "10247250", "title": "A study of combustibility of wastes of two hospitals for determining disposal by incineration.", "content": "A study of combustibility of wastes of two hospitals for determining disposal by incineration.

This study was conducted during the year 1976-77. The average observed time spent by the medical officer per patient was found to be 117.15 seconds per patient. The medical officers elicited only main complaints without asking past and family history in 84.44 per cent of patients and the average time spent on history taking was 42 seconds per patient which also included examination of identify card, recording of name, age and sex of the patients. Physical examinations were conducted in only 23.88 per cent of patients and the time spent per patient was 45.93 seconds. The advice for investigations was imparted in 2.60 per cent of patients, though the facilities for routine laboratory examinations were available in the dispensaries. Advice to the patient regarding dietary instructions and general advice was exclusively given in only 5.20 per cent of cases whereas the family planning/health education advice to the patients was given only in 0.76 per cent of patients. The medical officers are aware of the inadequate quality of medical care provided to the beneficiaries and they felt they should at least spend 6.83 minutes for an old patient and 12.42 minutes for the new patient. Probably they are not able to do so because of long queues in the dispensaries during peak hours. Hence, to improve the overall medical care and provide comprehensive care to the beneficiaries it is suggested that the medical officers can be given certain beneficiary population and made responsible to them.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247249"} {"pmid": "10247252", "title": "Informational and documentational needs for education and training for health and family welfare--\"para-professional and auxiliary\".", "content": "Informational and documentational needs for education and training for health and family welfare--\"para-professional and auxiliary\".

The effectiveness of the methods in detecting low-level microbial contamination appears comparable. Both methods have been shown to be useful in the pharmacy setting, but Ivex-2 could be used to test for contamination when used as an in-line filter at the patient level.

Since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and specifically Title VII of the Act, the federal government has increasingly involved itself with personnel policies and practices of employers in both the public and the private sector. While Title VII was initially directed toward discriminatory employee selection practices, the development of case law in this area suggests that the courts are now interpreting the Act much more broadly. In light of this, human resources managers would be wise to reevaluate the adequacy of existing performance appraisal systems to make them defensible against charges of discriminatory employment practices. After examining significant cases brought before the courts involving performance appraisal systems, authors Gary L. Lubben, Duane E. Thompson, and Charles R. Klasson draw conclusions as to what would constitute a defensible appraisal system. Chief among these is to make the overall appraisal process as formal, standard, and objective as possible and to consider subjective supervisory ratings as only one component of the overall evaluation process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247390"} {"pmid": "10247391", "title": "Evaluating the personnel department's internal functioning.", "content": "Evaluating the personnel department's internal functioning.

Logically enough, he points to those who avail themselves of such services--the other employees in the organization--as being in the best position to perform such an evaluation. Thus the first step in his \"personnel internal functioning audit\" is to design a questionnaire for the purpose, and he takes it from there--citing along the way the experiences of a large midwestern hospital that conducted this kind of simple, inexpensive audit.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247391"} {"pmid": "10247397", "title": "Measurement systems in physical therapy.", "content": "Measurement systems in physical therapy.

A well-rounded system of quality appraisal should probably include concurrent or co-ordinated assessments of all three methods, to the extent that each of these is observable and measurable under the constraints inherent in any given setting. The greatest value of developmental and methodological tasks in this area may be that they channel creative activity into a critical appraisal of the content and effect of professional practice.

Samples of water from a hubbard tank and two whirlpool baths were tested for colony count and culture before, during and after use, while regular patient loads and cleaning procedures were in effect. A germicidal detergent, an iodophor, and two chlorine agents were tried in succession. Acceptability to patients, effectiveness against bacteria, cost, and ease of handling were compared. The germicidal detergent only killed some bacteria and was very foamy. The iodophor was expensive and stained the tanks. Household bleach was unreliable in its effect hard to handle, and produced many complaints of \"chlorine\" smell. Stabilized granular chlorine treatment of the water provided an excellent infection control method for the physiotherapy department in this study.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247398"} {"pmid": "10247399", "title": "Continuing education: avoiding professional obsolescence.", "content": "Continuing education: avoiding professional obsolescence. The purpose of this paper is to describe how professional excellence can be maintained by participation in continuing education, thus avoiding professional obsolescence, and to describe essential factors in planning programs. Health professionals must recognize that lifetime licensure in a health care field is no longer a viable method of operation. Mandatory recertification requiring continuing educational experiences seems to present a possible alternative. Factors that contribute to professional obsolescence are reviewed and a rationale supporting continuing educational experience is developed. It is argued that health care professionals must participate in lifelong educational experience to maintain professional competence. Processes for planning continuing education programs for health professionals are reviewed. Seven steps necessary for program planning are outlined: set the philosophy, goals, objectives, obstacles, scope and the control and evaluation guidelines. The factors that reduce resistance to change and facilitate planning are discussed. The author concludes by noting that the health professional will become incompetent and a danger to the health care delivery system if he or she ignores the need for continuing education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247399"} {"pmid": "10247400", "title": "A physiotherapist in China.", "content": "A physiotherapist in China.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247400"} {"pmid": "10247401", "title": "Reflections on designing special devices for the disabled: towards a holistic approach.", "content": "Reflections on designing special devices for the disabled: towards a holistic approach.

admixtures subjected to different freeze-thaw treatments. The freezing of antibiotic admixtures has been proposed as a potentially useful method by which the efficiency of admixture services might be improved. The time involved in thawing, however, has discouraged the implementation of this practice. This study describes a technique of thawing frozen antibiotic admixtures contained in minibags in commercially available microwave ovens. A quantitative microbiological agar gel diffusion assay was employed to determine the effect of such treatment on the antibiotic activity of the admixture. Admixtures containing cephalothin sodium, cefazolin sodium, cefamandole nafate, cefoxitin sodium, penicillin G potassium, ampicillin sodium, oxacillin sodium, carbenicillin disodium, and gentamicin sulfate in dextrose 5% solution were frozen at -20 degrees C for 30 days. The admixtures were assayed immediately before freezing, and again after either thawing technique: that is, upon exposure of the minibags to room temperature air or to microwave radiation. Assays were also performed 8 and 24 hours after thawing in order to assess antibiotic stability following each freeze-thaw treatment. It was discovered that, with the exception of ampicillin sodium, each of the antibiotics studied could be frozen and thawed as described without significant loss of activity, and were stable for 24 hours after thawing. The application of a freeze microwave-thaw technique to central admixture services can be seen as a cost-effective method of circumventing many of the problems associated with existing programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247478"} {"pmid": "10247481", "title": "FHP celebrates anniversary with 6,100 members.", "content": "FHP celebrates anniversary with 6,100 members.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247481"} {"pmid": "10247477", "title": "Education of independent elderly in the responsible use of prescription medications.", "content": "Education of independent elderly in the responsible use of prescription medications.

Budget cutbacks and cost accountability are currently key issues for community mental health centers. Consequently, maximizing the available resources is important to the staff and to the community. Clients who fail to attend the initial appointment represent a significant loss of staff time and resources. Many studies have looked at variables related to missed initial appointments. However, the current study looked at means of reducing missed initial appointments. Eighty-eight subjects were assigned to one of four groups. Group A received a letter three days prior to initial appointment; Group B received a telephone call three days prior to initial appointment; Group C received a telephone call one day prior to initial appointment; Group D was a non-intervention control. The results showed a significant reduction in the rate of missed initial appointments in the group receiving a telephone call one day prior to the initial appointment. This group had a 9% nonattendance rate. Groups receiving either a letter or telephone call three days prior to the initial appointment had a 32% nonattendance rate. The nonintervention control group had a 55% nonattendance rate. The effectiveness of these interventions in reducing the nonattendance rate and thereby enhancing the resources of CMHCs was discussed.

A goal should be set before the meeting, a related plan should be formulated, and feedback should be provided to ensure the achievement of this goal. Tombari classifies meetings as educational, informational, or decisional, and applies his broad principles to these specific settings. In meetings called to educate participants, it is recommended that the leader: (1) prepare brief remarks about a well defined topic supplemented by audio or visual aids; (2) open the meeting up for discussion; and (3) comment on the learning experience following general discussion. In an informal \"action\" meeting, the leader is acting as a monitor or disseminator and must be well versed on the topic. The author recommends that general participation be limited. When the purpose of the meeting is to reach a decision, the leader's tasks are to: (1) articulate the problem facing the group; (2) demonstrate the urgency; (3) clarify the need for a group decision; (4) seek as many suggestions as possible; (5) help formulate alternative solutions; and (6) try to bring about a consensus. Despite the differences in the types of meetings and the approaches required, it is concluded that a successful meeting is dependent on careful planning and management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247823"} {"pmid": "10247817", "title": "How MDs would improve emergency medical care in flight.", "content": "How MDs would improve emergency medical care in flight.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247817"} {"pmid": "10247824", "title": "Private health care in Britain.", "content": "Private health care in Britain. Private medicine has been growing rapidly in Great Britian, a trend the author says indicates dissatisfaction with the National Health Service (NHS). Spivak notes that even when free medical treatment is available, citizens will pay for a private room, quicker treatment, and the chance to choose their own physicians and hospitals. Membership in private health plans has increased 15 fold since the inception of NHS 30 years ago. These plans are adding over 100,000 members a year so that the private sector now accounts for about $550 million, or 2-3% of Britian's annual outlay on medical care. The author attributes this trend to three factors: (1) private medicine is now generating enough capital to finance a substantial expansion of its own facilities; (2) deterioration in NHS; and (3) the low price of private health plans. Critics of private health care have described it as an alternative restricted to the affluent; the author counters that private plans are beginning to enroll blue-collar workers for the first time. He cites the opinions of experts who foresee the private sector covering for NHS shortcomings in non-emergency care until a full-fledged partnership develops. Spivak concludes by pointing to a conservative plan, now in its early stages, to promote a move in this direction. Whether or not this scheme comes to fruition, he adds, private medicine is beginning to flourish in a socialized system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247824"} {"pmid": "10247825", "title": "A unique nonprofit, hospital-based faculty group practice.", "content": "A unique nonprofit, hospital-based faculty group practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247825"} {"pmid": "10247826", "title": "Why the FTC has declared war on doctors.", "content": "Why the FTC has declared war on doctors.

The FTC regards the practice of medicine as an activity in which competition must be protected. Thus, the restriction of advertising, setting of free schedules, limitation on the number of physicians, and exclusion of other health-care providers or organizations is regarded as anti-competitive and merits intervention by the FTC.

This article discusses both the history of physician collective bargaining and the applicability of the 1974 health amendments of the National Labor Relations Act to this subject. Gordon outlines the issues for housestaff programs as well as for hospital-based professionals. The scope of physician bargaining includes: wages, hours, working conditions and issues related to the quality of patient care. Housestaff collective bargaining often addresses the issues of on-duty meals, free laundry and uniforms, subsidized housing, parking facilities, and on-call rooms. The concerns of staff physicians include tenure, pensions, and insurance benefits. Gordon suggests that the difficulty and novelty of physician/ hospital collective bargaining will frequently result in an impasse. He states that the propriety or impropriety of a doctors' strike depends upon: (l) the patient-care implications of the grievance causing the strike; (2) the gravity of the grievance leading to work stoppage; (3) the consequences of the strike for patient care; and (4) the other alternatives available. In the view of the author, a doctors' strike may be justified when it arises from a grievance relating to patient care as well as to self-aggrandizement. He states,\"...if the strike is the only effective method of making known conditions prejudicial to patient care, including conditions which regularly and systematically cause loss of health and life, the physician may be obliged to engage in such a strike, rather than desist from such action.\" He concludes that as professionals shift from being private entrepreneurs to salaried employees, they will be compelled to use a collective bargaining approach for professional as well as economic concerns.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247827"} {"pmid": "10247829", "title": "Let's talk: effectively communicating praise.", "content": "Let's talk: effectively communicating praise.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247829"} {"pmid": "10247828", "title": "Why a new malpractice crisis is coming.", "content": "Why a new malpractice crisis is coming. This article predicts escalating premiums and a greater risk of malpractice suits based on the increasing frequency and cost of claim payouts. The number of insurance claims increased by 12% in 1978 after a decrease of 11% in 1976 and by 2% in 1977. The percentage of premium income paid out has followed the same pattern. It was a high of 66.5% in 1975 and then fell into the 40% range in the next two years. Last year it bounced back to 60.6%. Some insurance authorities view the 1976-77 drop in claims as artificial and attribute it to a reluctance to file suits during the period immediately following new malpractice laws. The reluctance to sue has apparently relaxed. About 16% of the cases actually go to court. Out of those, 90% of the verdicts favor doctors. The rise in cases going to court shows that reform! legislation passed in several states to reduce malpractice litigation is not yet working. The average payout was up 20% between 1976 and 1978 with the greatest rise in large awards; million-dollar settlements are not uncommon. Escalating payouts are attributed to general inflation anf rising medical costs.

This article discusses three methods managers can use to make decisions: intuition, management analysis, and Type 1 and Type 2 error analysis. Olson identifies studies that have shown that top managers work at an unrelenting pace and jump from one activity to another. He claims that managers do not have time to plan in a reflective, systematic manner. In fact, in his view, decision makers usually react intuitively to situations that can no longer be ignored. The author presents evidence that top managers prefer verbal media such as telephone calls and meeting for decision making because of their timeliness. He points out that the strategic data bank of the organization is largely in the mind of the manager. As a consequence, he states, an effective analysis requires that the manager communicate to the analyst the relevant data stored in his head. This process often makes it easier for the manager to solve the problem himself rather than delegate it to others. Olson identifies five organizational conditions that enable a top manager to effectively delegate problem solving tasks to management analysts: (1) the analyst must have the confidence of the same people who influence the manager; (2) the analyst must be able to adapt the techniques to the specific needs of the manager; (3) there must be sufficient time for the analyst to structure the problem and evaluate the alternatives; (4) the analyst must share in information gathered by the manager from verbal contacts; and (5) the manager must be part of an organization large enough to make it profitable for him to seek assistance from an analyst. When the above organizational conditions are not met, the author suggests Type 1 and Type 2 error analysis. He promotes this form of analysis as a method for using logic and intuition to consider various forms of information. This management tool is named for Type 1 error (accepting a proposal that should have been rejected) and Type 2 error (rejecting a proposal that should have been accepted). The author advocates the use of this methodology because, in his view, it focuses the attention of the manager on the facts when a decision needs to be made. In this process, the manager must identify and evaluate the likelihood and consequences of each alternative strategy. Olson sees Type 1 and Type 2 error analysis as providing explicit logic to strengthen the intuitive decision making process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247842"} {"pmid": "10247843", "title": "Hospitals organize group property plan.", "content": "Hospitals organize group property plan.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247843"} {"pmid": "10247844", "title": "Health reform act encourages competition.", "content": "Health reform act encourages competition.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247844"} {"pmid": "10247845", "title": "Wellness epidemic sweeps companies.", "content": "Wellness epidemic sweeps companies.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247845"} {"pmid": "10247846", "title": "Hospital cost control test backfires; tune-up helps.", "content": "Hospital cost control test backfires; tune-up helps.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247846"} {"pmid": "10247847", "title": "Health care costs: saving in the private sector.", "content": "Health care costs: saving in the private sector.

It is suggested that the risk management departments assume the responsibility for managing the effort to reduce the costs of medical care and of the health insurance programs of these organizations since that staff is experienced at evaluating premiums and negotiating with third-party payors. The article examines a number of short-run strategies for firms to pursue to contain health care costs: (1) use alternative delivery systems such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs) which have cost-cutting potential but require marketing efforts to persuade employees of their desirability; (2) contracts with third-party payors which require a second opinion (peer review), a practice which saved one labor union over $2 million from 1972 to 1976; (3) implementation of insurance coverage for less expensive outpatient care; and (4) the use of claims review. These strategies are compared in terms of four criteria: supply of demand for health services; management effort; cost; and time necessary for realized savings. Robeson concludes that development of a management plan for containing health care costs requires an extensive analysis of alternatives, organizational objectives, existing policies, and resources, and offers a table summarizing the cost-containment strategies that a firm should consider.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247847"} {"pmid": "10247848", "title": "When in doubt, act: Law Reform Survey--Part 2.", "content": "When in doubt, act: Law Reform Survey--Part 2.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247848"} {"pmid": "10247849", "title": "Take care of yourself in the hospital.", "content": "Take care of yourself in the hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247849"} {"pmid": "10247851", "title": "The denominational hospital within a socialized health care system.", "content": "The denominational hospital within a socialized health care system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247851"} {"pmid": "10247854", "title": "Systems analysis: the need for automation in health care.", "content": "Systems analysis: the need for automation in health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247854"} {"pmid": "10247864", "title": "Automated management in a nursing home.", "content": "Automated management in a nursing home.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247864"} {"pmid": "10247850", "title": "Day programs for the elderly.", "content": "Day programs for the elderly.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247850"} {"pmid": "10247865", "title": "FTC investigation: long-term care industry has valid complaints.", "content": "FTC investigation: long-term care industry has valid complaints.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247865"} {"pmid": "10247853", "title": "An ethical basis for nursing in Canada.", "content": "An ethical basis for nursing in Canada.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247853"} {"pmid": "10247856", "title": "Wellness across Tennessee.", "content": "Wellness across Tennessee.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247856"} {"pmid": "10247866", "title": "Meetings in small homes: do they help?", "content": "Meetings in small homes: do they help?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247866"} {"pmid": "10247859", "title": "Wellness--what does it mean for hospitals?", "content": "Wellness--what does it mean for hospitals?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247859"} {"pmid": "10247852", "title": "Health care ethics--living-will legislation opposed: Massachusetts.", "content": "Health care ethics--living-will legislation opposed: Massachusetts.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247852"} {"pmid": "10247868", "title": "Prescription medication practices of the elderly.", "content": "Prescription medication practices of the elderly.

Patients who were started on albumin during the study period were included and monitored for the duration of their therapy. The largest groups of patients receiving albumin were those with gynecological tumors (30%) and gastrointestinal tumors (16%). Two-thirds of all patients receiving HSA were also receiving intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH); 80% of all HSA used was given to IVH patients. Although the IVH patients received a smaller daily dose of HSA, the average length of their therapy was about three times longer than that of the non-IVH patients. The mean total dose for the IVH patients was 344 g as compared to 180 g for non-IVH patients. For all patients, the mean total dose of HSA was 289 g at a patient cost of $1212. Of the patients, 66% had an initial serum albumin level determined before therapy was begun, 43% had a serum albumin level run at the termination of therapy, 16% had neither, and 28% had only one serum albumin level during their HSA therapy.

Prior to the initiation of the study, the pharmacist-investigator collected data on the hypertension clinic as it traditionally functioned. This preliminary investigation included studying the work flow of the clinic and reviewing medical records to determine who among the clinic registrants met the criteria set up for inclusion in this study. During the study phase, 12 patients were educated about their disease state, counseled, and taught to take their own blood pressures, using a home blood pressure measuring device. Upon each return visit, they were evaluated by the pharmacist using such parameters as pill counts, blood pressure readings, fluctuations in body weight, and disease symptomatology. All these data were analyzed and compared to those of the 12 patients in the control group who were educated and counseled, but not taught to take their blood pressures. An overall improvement in any or all of these monitored parameters was the criterion for determining effectiveness in promoting better compliance. At the end of the five-month study, the frequency of prescription refill had increased from 38 to 72.56 percent for the treatment group and from 31.6 to 59.26 percent for the control group.

In an article written for educational administrators, Hanson explains the assumptions, framework, and application of contingency theory. The author sees contingency theory as a way for organizations to adapt to uncertainty by developing a strategic plan with alternative scenarios. He urges school administrators to join businessmen and public managers in using a technique described as \"the most powerful current sweeping over the organizational field.\" The theory assumes that: (1) a maze of goals govern the development of events; (2) different management approaches may be appropriate within the same organization; and (3) different leadership styles suit different situations. Contingency planning helps the organization to respond to uncertainty in the external environment by identifying possible events that may occur and by preparing alternative stratgies to deal with them. Hanson describes the purpose of this process as providing \"a more effective match between an organization and its environment.\" He explains that contingency theory analyzes the internal adjustments of the organization (e.g., decision making process, structure, technology, instructional techniques) as it seeks to meet the shifting demands of its external or internal environments. According to the author, the intent of contingency theory is to establish an optimal \"match\" between environmental demands (and support) and the response capabilities of the organization including its structure, planning process, and leadership style.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247889"} {"pmid": "10247890", "title": "Evaluating EMS devices: FDA vs. private sector.", "content": "Evaluating EMS devices: FDA vs. private sector.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247890"} {"pmid": "10247891", "title": "Joint company/YMCA fitness program benefits employees.", "content": "Joint company/YMCA fitness program benefits employees.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247891"} {"pmid": "10247893", "title": "Hospital's wellness program helps employees improve lifestyles.", "content": "Hospital's wellness program helps employees improve lifestyles.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247893"} {"pmid": "10247892", "title": "Controlling high blood pressure at the worksite.", "content": "Controlling high blood pressure at the worksite.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247892"} {"pmid": "10247895", "title": "We're making more money than we used to, but we're living worse.", "content": "We're making more money than we used to, but we're living worse.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247895"} {"pmid": "10247896", "title": "New minimum wage rates for League 1199ers.", "content": "New minimum wage rates for League 1199ers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247896"} {"pmid": "10247894", "title": "New York's League negotiations begin.", "content": "New York's League negotiations begin.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247894"} {"pmid": "10247898", "title": "Victory at St. Barnabas.", "content": "Victory at St. Barnabas.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247898"} {"pmid": "10247897", "title": "Equal pay for women workers.", "content": "Equal pay for women workers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247897"} {"pmid": "10247899", "title": "Network analysis in evaluation: some words of caution.", "content": "Network analysis in evaluation: some words of caution.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247899"} {"pmid": "10247900", "title": "Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.", "content": "Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247900"} {"pmid": "10247886", "title": "Equity for the pharmacist: recognition with responsibility.", "content": "Equity for the pharmacist: recognition with responsibility.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247886"} {"pmid": "10247901", "title": "Utilizatin of within-hospital services: a study of the effects of two forms of group practice.", "content": "Utilizatin of within-hospital services: a study of the effects of two forms of group practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247901"} {"pmid": "10247887", "title": "Consumer reactions to differing amounts of written drug information.", "content": "Consumer reactions to differing amounts of written drug information.

Alexander reviews some of the problems caused by governmental regulation of business practices and considers some of the current moves to decrease regulatory intervention. According to the author, this is the first time in 15 years Congress has acknowledged that regulation is a matter of serious concern. The trigger was a 1978 proposal of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to extend its control over the voluntary product standards established by industry. Prior to that action, the author states, the FTC was condemned for listless enforcement. Economists blame excessive regulation for low productivity, lack of innovation, inflation, unemployment, and shortages. The author points out that the stringent rules of the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) have brought about a steep decline in the number of new drugs introduced--drugs which presumably could have prevented considerable suffering and quite a few deaths. The author thinks that the gold medal earned by the FDA for its refusal to approve Thalidomide has fostered a siege mentality--\"We only get into trouble by approving something.\" The stringent regulations have caused voter dissatisfaction, as evidenced by the attempt of the FDA to bar the use of saccharine. In an effort to restore political accountability, Congress is considering strengthening the oversight of agencies by elected officials. The House of Representatives favor the wider use of the \"legislative veto.\" This would make any new rule an agency writes subject to nullification by either House of Congress for a 60-day period. The Senate prefers a \"sunset\" approach, which would require that regulations, spending programs, and even entire agencies undergo periodic reapproval. A study carried out by the American Bar Association (ABA) singles out the congressional sin of needlessly enlarging the burden of regulation by creating a new agency every time it perceives a problem, eventually resulting in sharply increased regulatory compliance costs. The same ABA study recommends that each agency be required to prepare an analysis of the likely costs and benefits of their proposed rulings and of recommended regulations in light of established national priorities. Alexander concludes that the ABA recommendation for increased reliance upon the competitive market is an essential step in encouraging regulatory reform.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247926"} {"pmid": "10247927", "title": "The meeting goer's lament.", "content": "The meeting goer's lament. Executives spend about 69% of their time in meeting with at least two other people, according to a recent study out of McGill University. In spite of this, participants do not consider this to be time used wisely and, according to the respondents, the problem seems to be growing worse. Despite the claims of some executives that government regulations or increased corporate complexity underlies the problem, society at large is viewed as the source of the change. Meyer asserts that all institutions have become less authoritarian and the trend away from command has left persuasion and consensus as the basis for corporate level decision-making. Although executives seem to agree that most time is wasted because participants fail to be succinct, the author argues that leaders could improve meetings by choosing the right participants, guiding them briskly through the agenda, and closing the meeting before it degenerates into a shouting match. The article suggests that chief executives are concluding that meeting skills can be learned. Most of the FORTUNE 500 companies have hired outside experts to teach these skills and some companies are building inhouse units for the same purpose. Since meetings have become an integral part of the business day, Meyer concluded that the goal of the executive should be to use the meeting time well.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247927"} {"pmid": "10247918", "title": "Information--the key to the future.", "content": "Information--the key to the future.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247918"} {"pmid": "10247919", "title": "The creation, maintenance and distribution of a computerized drug inter-action file (DIF).", "content": "The creation, maintenance and distribution of a computerized drug inter-action file (DIF).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247919"} {"pmid": "10247929", "title": "Controlling hospital costs.", "content": "Controlling hospital costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247929"} {"pmid": "10247928", "title": "Federal regulation of medical practice in nursing homes.", "content": "Federal regulation of medical practice in nursing homes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247928"} {"pmid": "10247930", "title": "Interview: Henry Simmons.", "content": "Interview: Henry Simmons.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247930"} {"pmid": "10247932", "title": "Plumbing for hospitals.", "content": "Plumbing for hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247932"} {"pmid": "10247931", "title": "Medical care in Papua New Guinea.", "content": "Medical care in Papua New Guinea.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247931"} {"pmid": "10247933", "title": "A partnership for rural healthcare.", "content": "A partnership for rural healthcare.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247933"} {"pmid": "10247934", "title": "Overcoming resistance to change.", "content": "Overcoming resistance to change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247934"} {"pmid": "10247935", "title": "What every nurse manager should know about risk management.", "content": "What every nurse manager should know about risk management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247935"} {"pmid": "10247936", "title": "Finding the causes of job stress and learning to control them.", "content": "Finding the causes of job stress and learning to control them.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247936"} {"pmid": "10247939", "title": "Disposables: saving by throwing away.", "content": "Disposables: saving by throwing away.

The production steps followed by the Forth Valley Health Board in producing a series of health education videotapes was described. Each videotape focused on a specific health condition and provided self-care instructions for patients with that particular health problem. Steps involved in the production process included preparations, videotaping, editing, and evaluation. Appropriate topics for health education videotapes were selected in reference to needs expressed by the medical profession. Once a topic was chosen, patients were interviewed to ascertain their current level of knowledge concerning the topic. After filming and editing the videotapes, an effort was made to evaluate the tapes. Several evaluation methods were and are currently being used to assess the tapes. Evaluation procedures included 1) asking medical professionals and patients to assess the value of the films; 2) asking the patients to act out the steps in self-care described in the films; 3) assessing patient knowledge levels before and after they viewed the videotapes; 4) assessing the long term impact of the videotapes by ascertaining the patient's level of knowledge several months after exposure to the film; and 5) comparing the increments in knowledge between a group that viewed the videotape with a group that read a booklet on the same subject. Effective videotapes can provide doctors with an easy, time-saving method for instructing patients in routine self-care procedures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10247943"} {"pmid": "10247945", "title": "Family practitioners: justice for GPs and patients.", "content": "Family practitioners: justice for GPs and patients.

The two international unions present a contrast in structure and ideology. The SEIU is a truly international, decentralized union, whereas NHU is a far more centralized affiliate. As an international union, SEIU characterizes, taxes, and disciplines locals. Its decentralized strategy has been to permit locals to do the bulk of the organizing and collective bargaining, while the national union merely coordinates and offers financial and technical support. Conversely, NHU is an affiliate of the retail, wholesale, and department store union, deriving authority from, paying tax to, and subject to discipline by the parent organization. Its centralized approach has been for national officers to determine when a district will be created and what its jurisdiction will be. The structural differences of the two unions can be traced to their respective histories. As an old-line AFL union, SEIU had an existing structure of independent local unions that operated in health care as they did in other industries. NHU, however, originated as a union of drug store employees and its structure evolved over time. Membership growth and geographic expansion elevated it beyond the status of a local into a division with its own districts. The unions also diverge in their ideology; SEIU takes a more traditional business union approach to collective bargaining and unionism, while NHU is oriented to social welfare, involving itself in more than the work aspect of members' lives. These differences again can be attributed to contrasting histories of the old-line SEIU and the more radical NHU. The authors emphasize that unions are not homogeneous entities but organizations that respond to a similar environment as a result of their respective structures and histories.", "url":

Although the latter aspect -- counseling -- is probably the most important, it is usually the least explored. The reason for this is inherent to the procedure through which a vasectomy is currently obtained. The couple regard the interview as a situation where the doctor will either allow or refuse the operation. Conflicts may arise if the family planning doctor simultaneously tries to play both medical and counseling roles. Further confusion arises between the screening and counseling aspects of the prevasectomy interview. Vasectomy clinics have less rigid criteria than individual surgeons.

The purpose of the three-year project was to reduce the prevalence of risk factors associated with increased cardiovascular and cancer risk in adults. The curriculum included nutrition, antitobacco, and hypertension-control materials. A smaller, experimental intensive health behavior program was also developed for obese children (weight greater than or equal to 120% ideal for height, age, and sex). A smoking prevention program was offered to children with the aim of discouraging new smokers. Findings show that: 1) such a school-based primary disease prevention program is feasible and highly acceptable; and 2) reduction of obesity and new cigarette smoking occurred with intensive intervention involving small groups of students. On the other hand, a general health education itself had little effect in the total population in reducing the incidence of extreme clinical values (such as physical inactivity, high blood pressure, as well as smoking and obesity) for their age and sex.

The authors build on recent studies to derive a framework for analyzing the effects of basic forms of government intervention on technological innovation. Relying on a recent Rand Corporation study of federally funded demonstration projects, the authors classify 10 projects on the basis of types of government intervention. The authors explain that the government can try to induce change in two basic ways--directly or indirectly. The direct method includes support for the development of new technology and the creation of market mechanisms to provide incentives for change. The indirect approach can range from persuasion to regulating product standards or direct government purchases. The authors set up four categories to encompass the joint effects of direct and indirect intervention, and offer tentative generalizations about the application of intervention. Direct intervention, such as R&D programs, is not likely to produce products of technological significance unless it is complemented by regulatory action. This type of joint action yields a high payoff when successful; many major post-World War II innovations such as the computer, the jet engine, and advanced semiconductor devices resulted from this mix of interventions. Conversely, regulatory measures alone entrench existing technologies and limit the payoff to incremental intervention. The emphasis in this category is on perfecting and redefining established technologies rather than innovating new ones.

Concern with the provision of health and welfare services to underserved or inappropriately served groups has led to numerous studies of patterns of service utilization. This article focuses on the help-seeking patterns of heroin-addicted and nonaddicted women of lower socioeconomic status. The results suggest addicts generally experience more problems than nonaddicts; those with few problems are less likely to use formal support systems; and black respondents, both addicts and nonaddicts, are less likely to use formal support systems. The evidence indicates that while addicts tend to use natural support systems less frequently than nonaddicts, addiction per se does not explain help seeking when race and number of problems are taken into account. The heavy reliance of both addicts and nonaddicts on informal helpers supports the value of professional efforts designed to facilitate or enhance these networks.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248179"} {"pmid": "10248171", "title": "Management education in the future: perspectives.", "content": "Management education in the future: perspectives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248171"} {"pmid": "10248189", "title": "After 41 years, for the second time, a name change for HEW.", "content": "After 41 years, for the second time, a name change for HEW.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248189"} {"pmid": "10248170", "title": "Health management needs: the global perspective.", "content": "Health management needs: the global perspective.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248170"} {"pmid": "10248176", "title": "Using computer time-sharing programs for pulmonary care.", "content": "Using computer time-sharing programs for pulmonary care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248176"} {"pmid": "10248182", "title": "Louisiana hospital selling EDP services to defray costs of on-line charge system.", "content": "Louisiana hospital selling EDP services to defray costs of on-line charge system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248182"} {"pmid": "10248184", "title": "Washington Hospital Center selects computer system.", "content": "Washington Hospital Center selects computer system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248184"} {"pmid": "10248185", "title": "Model system resulted from close cooperation.", "content": "Model system resulted from close cooperation.

Kimberly presents a case study of the birth and early development of an innovative medical school. When the school opened in 1971, the existing 86 medical schools all offered similar programs: two years of basic science training in lecture halls and laboratories, followed by two years of direct contact with patients in clinical settings. In the new school, students were taught didactically only during the first year. During the second year, each student was assigned to a community physician who acted as an advisor and who discussed with students those patients afflicted with the diseases the student was currently studying. Available evidence indicated that the school's innovative curriculum was favorably received by the students and that they performed as well as their peers on standardized year-end exams. The author found the case of this medical school to be of particular interest from an organizational viewpoint in that: (1) the early development of the school was shaped by the first dean's entrepreneurial activity, ambitions, visions, strengths, and weaknesses; (2) the uncertainty resulting from the school's novelty forced individuals to assume new roles and face unclear performance criteria; and (3) the transition of an innovative school to an institutionalized one was problematic because it modified the decision-making process. The author suggests that those things which lead to an organization's success during its early years are not the same as those that lead to longer-run success. He says that a new organization creates new norms, values, and procedures whereas the elements of an existing organization interact within an established culture. He concludes that organizational birth is a phenomenon about which relatively little is known, but which may be an important constraint on later development. A comparative analysis of the birth, life, and death of organization is advocated.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248231"} {"pmid": "10248233", "title": "The effects of environmental characteristics on the structure of hospital clusters.", "content": "The effects of environmental characteristics on the structure of hospital clusters.

The structural characteristics studied were range of services offered within the cluster, average size of hospitals in the cluster, and cluster differentiation. In the causal model that was developed and evaluated, variation in the patient environment and variation in the supplier environment were compared. Four lagged panels of data on a national sample of fifteen hospital clusters demonstrated the relative superiority of supplier variables over patient variables. Supplier group preferences were more powerful than patient needs in determining the range of services offered by the cluster. Furthermore, increasing the range of services in the cluster had a positive, significant effect on average hospital size, whereas size apparently exerted no effect on range of cluster facilities. Cluster differentiation seems to be causally affected by range of services, average hospital size, and by the periodic closing of hospitals over time.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248233"} {"pmid": "10248234", "title": "Health rights of the elderly fizzle as management fiddles.", "content": "Health rights of the elderly fizzle as management fiddles.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248234"} {"pmid": "10248232", "title": "The effects of group decision-making process and problem-situation complexity on implementation attempts.", "content": "The effects of group decision-making process and problem-situation complexity on implementation attempts.

Despite company attempts to reduce employee turnover by offering attractive salaries and benefits, Kushell notes that attrition continues at an alarming rate. He states that more than one of every three employees will change jobs over the next five years, a transition that will take its toll on company morale and productivity. The underlying factor, according to the author, is the quality of the working environment. A 1969 University of Michigan survey of 1,533 workers, at every occupation level, reported that all respondents ranked interesting work and authority to get the job done far ahead of good pay and job security. Sources of employee frustration include a stifling bureaucracy, excessive job expectations, and unsuitable jobs. The author suggests that top managers ask themselves whether they are missing out on or losing talented employees. If this is the case, there are several guidelines management should follow: improve communication between employees and top management; define expectations of the employee; and promote candor in the job interview. Kushell concludes that top executives can have an impact on turnover by paying attention to what employees really want rather than what management thinks they want.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248262"} {"pmid": "10248263", "title": "Physicians and administrators can work together.", "content": "Physicians and administrators can work together. This article describes the working relationship between the administration and medical staff of the Mid-Maine Medical Center which is comprised of two separate modern hospitals. The authors advocate the philosophy that \"a hospital which harnesses the medical staff's considerable talent and expertise through sound organizational input will be a stronger institution.\" They explain that patient care is becoming increasingly complex and that management decisions impact heavily on the care provided. In 1973, the Medical Center changed from its traditional organizational form of having a full-time medical director and an administrator report to the board of directors, to a modified corporate model designed to increase physician involvement. In the new organization, the vice president of finance and a part-time chief of staff (acting as vice president for medical affairs) report to the president (former medical director) who, in turn, is responsible to the board of trustees. The authors attribute the success of the reorganization to the CEO's willingness to delegate and share authority, not to the CEO's physician background. Planning at the institution involves a committee of six physicians, four administrators, and one full-time planner.

This guide, written by an administrator and an industrial engineer, identifies and discusses the factors that should be considered when planning space requirements for ambulatory care facilities. The authors view sizing the ambulatory care facility as a complicated sequential task where trade-offs are made with regard to several factors: philosophy of patient care; cost; expansion requirements; patient comfort and waiting time; patient privacy; staff preferences; utilization patterns; and scurity of the faculty. It is suggested that the weight assigned to each factor when making trade-offs will be largely affected by the philosophy of patient care. The authors divide ambulatory care facilities into five functional groups: (1) basic medical services; (2) supporting medical services; (3) administrations; (4) support and service facilities; and (5) community and secondary support facilities. There are tables summarizing recommended space requirements for each of the functional groups based on mathematical models of the number and type of people using them (i.e., a typical physician is expected to see 24 patients per day). Space requirements for the whole clinic can be determined by adding together those required for each functional component. Provisions for growth and technological advances are discussed.

The past decade has seen widespread research on systematic evaluation of the competence of health professionals. Such activity usually has been carried out in accordance with the prevailing psychological paradigms, in which competence is represented as a trait, or as an intrapsychic factor. However, even when competence has been delimited as problem-solving, the research generally identified a strong situational influence on performance. In this article are assembled a set of diverse but complementary arguments for dispensing with the conventional representations of professional competence. In their place is proposed a relational model in which competence in health professions is seen as the aggregated adaptations of practitioners to the set of special social circumstances that obtain within the situational boundaries of their profession. It is argued that a thorough understanding of the content of professional situations is a necessary prerequisite for successful evaluation of professional competence, since competent behavior is lodged in a network of probabilistic relationships with the surroundings. Also discussed are selected procedural implications of this new model for the conduct of investigations of professional situations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248308"} {"pmid": "10248309", "title": "Standard-setting in written and interactive (oral) specialty certification examinations: issues, models, methods, challenges.", "content": "Standard-setting in written and interactive (oral) specialty certification examinations: issues, models, methods, challenges.

With the loss of the work role and other roles typically associated with middle age, they are faced with the dilemma of the \"roleless role,\" an absence of well-articulated, age-appropriate expectations and standards of behavior by which to structure everyday life. Recent anthropological, sociological, and psychological studies indicate the possibility of the development of alternate roles and age-appropriate normative systems in age-homogeneous environments. An example of one such alternate behavioral system is provided from data collected on a small retirement community in the Midwest. A normative system seems to have developed in which personal qualities such as trust, friendliness, and concern for others are more highly valued than former achievements or occupational status. Residents most frequently cited as having made a good adjustment to aging were not necessarily those who were most active, but rather those individuals who showed a determination to \"keep going,\" lacked self-pity, kept mentally alert and aware, were willing to help others, and showed a sense of responsibility to the community. Various roles were developed and were expected to be assumed by incoming residents: alternate \"work roles,\" represented by committee memberships and volunteer activity; \"family roles,\" represented by the supportive or helping relations adopted toward other residents; and leisure-type roles.

Positive evaluations by the medical and nursing staffs resulted in continuation of the satellite as a permanent program. Clinical services initially provided by the pediatric pharmacist were expanded to include acquisition of admission drug histories, instruction on discharge medication, participation on pediatric medical rounds and on the pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest team, operation of the poison control center, distribution of pediatric drug information, preparation of chemotherapy and monitoring of investigational protocols, and provision of pediatric nursing inservice education and community education. A five-year evaluation of the services provided by the pediatric satellite pharmacy was completed by 71 pediatric nurses and 27 Mayo Clinic physicians, all of whom had worked with the system regularly. The tabulated results are presented. Responses to overall services of the pediatric pharmacy were designated good to excellent by 100% of the physicians and by 98.6% of the nurses, indicating that the pediatric satellite pharmacy is a successful and beneficial program at this institution.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248359"} {"pmid": "10248358", "title": "Oral syringe use survey.", "content": "Oral syringe use survey.

There was no definite preference for a particular brand or type (glass vs. plastic) of syringe. Patients who often required liquid dosage forms, including pediatric and geriatric patients and patients with nasogastric tubes, were most frequently included in oral syringe distribution systems. Twenty-six of the 73 hospitals utilizing oral syringes used them for most unit dose liquids in all drug distribution systems. The remainder reported use for specific medications or circumstances.

John D. McMillan, director of compensation services, and Hout W. Doyel, consultant, of A.S. Hansen, Inc., explain the key features, advantages, and disadvantages of four major types of performance appraisal methods: the trait checklist, the management by objectives approach, the free-form approach, and the responsibility rating system. The authors note, for instance, that the most frequently used method, the trait checklist, has these major disadvantages: Traits that are rated tend to be general and don't relate specifically to job performance. The tendency of raters is to focus on personal characteristics rather than job performance results.

Beginning in the late 1970s, a series of major upheavals in the world of work-increasing government regulation, declining productivity, rising concern with the quality of worklife, and the entrance of the post-World War II baby boom population into an already highly competitive job market-have changed the personnel department's status from that of organizational stepchild to a potentially premier force in the organization's ability to survive and grow.

In Southern Israel, rapid development and industrialization have generated strains affecting both the population (ca. 0.5 million immigrants and ca. 50,000 Bedouin) and the medical care agencies (of the General Labour Federation and other Sick funds, the Health and other Ministries, etc.). In Beer-Sheva, the Center of Health Sciences (CHS) of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGUN) is the scene of a concerted effort to change the orientation of health care. The direction of change is away from the impersonal (the hospital and the disease) and towards that demanded by the public (the community and the person). It is being accomplished by fundamentally changing the education of health personnel. Change is being implemented and mediated by a coordinating consortium of in-region and BGUN care and/or welfare agencies, that plans and evaluates the process and progress of change for which each agency is responsible. Infrastructural innovation, somewhat hampered by the inertias of tradition, consists of making the university hospital effectively serve the regional network of hospital-affiliated, community-oriented primary care clinics. Curricular innovation, enthusiastically accepted and flourishing, uses the concept of \"the natural history of disease\" in basic-science and clinical teaching. Teaching takes place not only in the wards, but also in outpatient and primary care clinics, and in the facilities for occupational health, rehabilitation and public health.", "url":

Results of the modest survey recently initiated are reasonably conclusive as to the lack of involvement of the schools and the lack of understanding and knowledge of long-term care on the part of the school staff. It is also evident that even brief exposure to long-term care is helpful in relieving the shortage of nurses and results in a change in attitude toward the aging process and the care of the aged.

The more modern and clean looking the hospital and its equipment are, the more at ease the patients will be. The staff is also very important. A method for keeping the patient's mind occupied with a portion of the particular procedure may relax him.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248692"} {"pmid": "10248698", "title": "A structural analysis of performance deviations: a time series perspective.", "content": "A structural analysis of performance deviations: a time series perspective.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248698"} {"pmid": "10248699", "title": "Documenting the value of supervised play in a pediatric ambulatory care clinic.", "content": "Documenting the value of supervised play in a pediatric ambulatory care clinic. This study tested the hypothesis that supervision of play in a pediatric ambulatory clinic would increase positive resonses and decrease negative responses in outpatients. During the control week, children played unsupervised in the unaltered clinic waiting area; selected behaviors were recorded then and during the experimental week, in which changes introduced in the clinical environment facilitated supervised play. Significant increases in positive responses and significant decreases in negative responses were noted during the experimental week (X2=474.4; p. <. 001.).

The Nation's acute care hospitals represent a significant source of employment. Like other communities, most traditional environmental concerns require attention, but because of the unique combination of an evolving and increasingly complex technology with an at-risk resident population, special environmental services are also required. Recognizing these facts, various agencies with the responsibility of overseeing the health and safety of the total population have developed rigorous standards to assure the safety of hospital employees, patients and visitors. There is need for improved organization of environmental services to reduce the inefficiencies so often present where responsibilities for environmental management are fragmented.

Finally, the ways in which government can use and encourage private charitable impulse to maximize social welfare are examined; of particular interest here is the literature surrounding Richard Titmuss' work on blood donorship which raises the issue of whether or not extension of markets reduces, rather than extends, individual choice.

Within 5 days, 46 patients responded. Telephone calls were placed to 24 out of 25 patients. Two types of noncompliant behavior were identified; 34 out of 70 patients exhausted their medication supply before returning for a refill and 25 out of 70 patients accumulated a 1- to 30-day excess medication supply because of omitted doses. The postcard medication refill reminder system was found to be an effective tool for identifying patients who may benefit from compliance counseling with the pharmacist.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10248868"} {"pmid": "10248869", "title": "The pharmacist in the HMO environment.", "content": "The pharmacist in the HMO environment.

The roof of this seven year old maternity unit leaked and the local CHC said in its 1980 annual report: 'Rain water started to leak slowly into patient areas and has gradually increased into what can only be described as a flood. In nursing areas within the unit plastic dustbins and other large containers have had to be used to collect large amounts of water coming through the roof during rainy weather. This has obviously caused considerable inconvenience to both staff and patients and has made the unit more difficult to keep clean.' Repairs to the roof, totalling 150,000 pounds, are being carried out by the district but not soon enough to stop the water causing deterioration to the fabric of wards. The report says: 'It seems to the CHC that something has gone wrong with either the design or construction of the roof.'

This article gives a review of the hospice concept of care. The importance of caring for the patient and family as one unit for the purpose of addressing needs of each, and the specific needs of the dying patient and of his/her family are discussed. The alleviation of symptoms and control of pain are of primary importance in terminal cases. Throughout the dying process the patient should be treated as a unique individual and his fear of isolation and abandonment must be overcome by the availability of personal attention. Although the patient receives a great deal of attention it is of vital importance to him/her that he/she is just as involved in giving as receiving. The family is both an agency and a recipient of care. It is the task of hospice care to allow the family to go on living. Feelings of anticipatory grief--of which a definition is given--have to be reduced; the most difficult time for the family is however when the patient is very close to death. It is stressed that real exchange of feelings between family and the dying person is of utmost importance for both, and should be encouraged by hospice care. The hospice staff should maintain contact with the family and close friends after the death of their loved one, to allow them ventilation of their feelings.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249023"} {"pmid": "10249024", "title": "Influences of a future corporate health system on medical education.", "content": "Influences of a future corporate health system on medical education.

Board effectiveness criteria (knowledge of mental health legislation, policy-making effectiveness, knowledge of the community and agency procedures, organizational effectiveness) are related to demographic and ideological profiles for each board. Board effectiveness was measured by the Self-Diagnosis Guidelines (Institute for Voluntary Organizations, 1977). Board ideology was assessed with the Community Mental Health Ideology Scale (Baker & Schulberg, 1969). Results indicated that: (1) boards were generally not representative of their communities; (2) most boards saw themselves as only marginally effective; (3) the low self-ratings of boards were due to deficiencies in crucial areas of board responsibility; (4) there were significant differences in effectiveness among boards; and (5) board members reported less support for community mental health philosophy than some professional groups.

They were asked to respond in terms of board rather than individual priorities. Forty-four questionnaires were returned representing 80% of the sample and 57% of all governing boards in the state. Seventy-one percent of the respondents were male and 55% were executives or managers. Their mean age was 45. Of the 10 needs assessment items, the two highest rated pertained to the financing of centers and knowledge of mental health legislation. Three areas of need emerged from a factor analysis: a board mandate factor, a board organization factor, and a planning and evaluation factor. The perceived training needs of the Chicago Metropolitan Area and Downstate Illinois were similar.

Presently, consumer feedback is often poorly collected or inadequately utilized.

Attacks on custodialism offered the hope of more humane treatment approaches. Mental health planners thought that the costs of state hospital care could be reduced by discharging patients into the community. For state governments, this involved a shift of costs and responsibility to the federal government. This shift was accompanied by an increase in cost-effective planning at both state and federal levels. Cost-effective planning uses corporate-style standardization techniques to provide precise, measured types of treatment to certain categories of patients. Such planning is primarily oriented to balanced ledgers of the government budget, rather than meeting specific human needs. The shift in costs also increases profits in the private sector. This is most noticeable in the nursing and boarding home industry where entrepreneurs derive large returns from a newly custodialism mainly funded by government reimbursements. The institutional overuse of psychiatric drugs is continued in community programs. Cost-effective approaches also involve firing mental health staff and increasing the workload of those remaining. Community mental health centers and state hospital deinstitutionalization programs have largely failed to meet most of their promises such as noninstitutional treatment, more humane care, prevention, and rehabilitation. These failures have produced the beginning of a delegitimation of the new mental health approaches. This delegitimation is also used as part of more general attacks on social services so prevalent in this period of economic crisis. This reinforces the reliance on cost-effective plans which do not benefit clients. It also poses the danger of increasing the number of persons classified as psychological misfit among the marginal underclass. Even though this is an unintended effect, it can then be used to deflect onto these victims popular resentment against big business and the government. Further, the growth of such a misfit group, along with other types of social decay, may prompt an increase in the already growing forms of social control psychotechnology such as psychosurgery.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249059"} {"pmid": "10249060", "title": "Adolescents in transition: a look at a transitional treatment center.", "content": "Adolescents in transition: a look at a transitional treatment center.

Low priority arrivals are \"cut off\" (refused immediate service) and placed in a queue whenever N1 or more servers are busy, in order to keep N-N1 servers free for high priority arrivals. A Poisson arrival process for each class, and a common exponential service rate, are assumed. Two models are considered: one where high priority customers queue for service and one where they are lost if all servers are busy at an arrival epoch. Results are obtained for the probability of n servers busy, the expected low priority waiting time, and (in the case where high priority customers do not queue) the complete low priority waiting time distribution. The results are applied to determine the number of ambulances required in an urban fleet which serves both emergency calls and low priority patients transfers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249180"} {"pmid": "10249193", "title": "Structured interviewing: avoiding selection problems.", "content": "Structured interviewing: avoiding selection problems.

Thirty-nine women with a maternal history of breast cancer were interviewed to determine their needs, concerns, and health practices pertaining to breast cancer. Each said they had been profoundly affected by their mother's illness. Many had feelings of guilt and anxiety, which had arisen after the diagnosis of their mother's breast cancer. Although most subjects (79%) practiced breast self-examination (BSE), both examiners and nonexaminers felt that their emotional reactions to breast cancer might keep them from performing an adequate examination. Subjects sought frequent breast examinations from a health professional--59% had two or more examinations a year--and found they helped to relieve anxiety. Most of the subjects (82%) though their risk of breast cancer was increased because of their maternal history of breast cancer. They were also concerned about the effects of birth control pills, radiation, and other factors on their breast cancer risk. Although subjects were concerned about risk, they had only vague, and sometimes incorrect, information about the magnitude of the risk. Based on these findings, we suggest that, beginning at the time of their mother's diagnosis, women whose mothers have breast cancer would benefit from ongoing counseling on emotional issues from a service that provides information and counselling about breast cancer risk, from receiving instruction in BSE and from having regularly scheduled examinations from a health care professional.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249188"} {"pmid": "10249190", "title": "Reducing preoperative anxiety in children: information versus emotional support.", "content": "Reducing preoperative anxiety in children: information versus emotional support.

A mail questionnaire survey of physical therapists who graduated from an Ontario university's physical therapy program between 1969 and 1978 was conducted to determine: occupational patterns, satisfaction with undergraduate preparation for employment, interest in graduate studies and, if the graduate was unemployed at that time, the need for re-entry preparation for employment. With one follow-up mailing to non-respondents, a response rate of 93.4 per cent was obtained. Of the 141 respondents, 110 were working full-time and 15 were working part-time in physical therapy. Eighty-eight per cent of employed physical therapy graduates agreed that their education had prepared them sufficiently for employment. Fifty-three per cent of the graduates indicated that they would like to pursue an area of clinical specialization through graduate study. It is concluded that the graduates of the program under study believe that they have been well prepared for employment; not only do they maintain a clinical interest in the profession, but they aspire to personal and professional advancement through graduate studies.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249199"} {"pmid": "10249202", "title": "The doctor-physiotherapist relationship: the physiotherapists' perspective.", "content": "The doctor-physiotherapist relationship: the physiotherapists' perspective.

It is possible, the data suggest, that the physician may not be the best qualified to act as team leader in every situation, for every aspect of medical treatment, for the care of every patient.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249202"} {"pmid": "10249213", "title": "\"Blues\" cut federal employees' benefits.", "content": "\"Blues\" cut federal employees' benefits.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249213"} {"pmid": "10249207", "title": "Training middle management in cost containment techniques: a federally funded program.", "content": "Training middle management in cost containment techniques: a federally funded program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249207"} {"pmid": "10249216", "title": "Equipment specifications and performance standards: Education Committee, Midwest Region--AHRA.", "content": "Equipment specifications and performance standards: Education Committee, Midwest Region--AHRA.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249216"} {"pmid": "10249214", "title": "Objective equipment selection and performance evaluation.", "content": "Objective equipment selection and performance evaluation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249214"} {"pmid": "10249219", "title": "How long has it been since you reviewed your silver recovery contract?", "content": "How long has it been since you reviewed your silver recovery contract?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249219"} {"pmid": "10249215", "title": "Radiology management in the 1980's: are you prepared?", "content": "Radiology management in the 1980's: are you prepared?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249215"} {"pmid": "10249217", "title": "Format for comparing equipment specifications.", "content": "Format for comparing equipment specifications.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249217"} {"pmid": "10249201", "title": "Physiotherapy into the 80's.", "content": "Physiotherapy into the 80's. During the 80's, physiotherapists will have to deal with many important issues such as effective legislation; the basic educational requirement for CPA membership; changes in the code of ethics; accreditation of educational and clinical programs; and standards for quality of care. The greatest challenge for physiotherapists may, however, lie in provision of cost-effective treatment. As governments shift from bedded to non-bedded services, the opportunities for physiotherapists to provide outpatient services may lie in increased private practice operations and the expanded services of community health centres, home care unit, and mobile clinics traveling to remote rural communities. Increasing demands by government and consumer groups for quality control of services provided will create a need for clinical research, to make certain that treatments are effective. Physiotherapists must continue to ensure that increases in the profession's basic educational requirement, body of knowledge, level of specialization, leadership development, resources, and status in the health team are adequate to meet the future expectations of the public sector. The problems facing physiotherapists in the '80s revolve around their credibility--as a professional groups, as clinicians and researchers in a specific field, and as members of a helping profession.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249201"} {"pmid": "10249206", "title": "The ambulatory care survey at the University of Washington.", "content": "The ambulatory care survey at the University of Washington.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249206"} {"pmid": "10249200", "title": "Functional value analysis of a physiotherapy department.", "content": "Functional value analysis of a physiotherapy department. In these days of rising health care expenditures and public demand for physiotherapy services, physiotherapy managers are faced with many decisions regarding demands for services which run counter to budgetary limitations. This paper presents a new methodology -- Functional Value Analysis (FVA) -- which the physiotherapy department manager can use as one solution to his problem of continuing the provision of services while under financial constraints. Functional Value Analysis is a process that can be used to analyze and determine the cost of various activities that occur in a physiotherapy department. This process can also be used to generate cost-saving ideas and to priorize them. The Task Force Committee of a Manitoban hospital wanted cost-saving ideas, for 30 per cent of its budget, documented. Therefore, the physiotherapy department, along with other professional service departments at the hospital, undertook such an FVA study in October of 1978. Out of the physiotherapy departments annual budget of $615,960, the department was able to document cost-saving ideas of $267,346. Functional Value Analysis is one tool for a department manager's use which can reduce costs in an organized logical manner.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249200"} {"pmid": "10249218", "title": "Equipment specifications and performance standards for equipment pertaining to the nuclear medicine department.", "content": "Equipment specifications and performance standards for equipment pertaining to the nuclear medicine department.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249218"} {"pmid": "10249220", "title": "A radiology management information system designed to assist a new management team.", "content": "A radiology management information system designed to assist a new management team.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249220"} {"pmid": "10249222", "title": "Legal forum: our radiology department is considering purchasing some new equipment.", "content": "Legal forum: our radiology department is considering purchasing some new equipment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249222"} {"pmid": "10249223", "title": "The impact of regimentation on radiology departments.", "content": "The impact of regimentation on radiology departments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249223"} {"pmid": "10249221", "title": "A sample radiology administration job description.", "content": "A sample radiology administration job description.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249221"} {"pmid": "10249224", "title": "Big government and hospital care: prescription for disaster.", "content": "Big government and hospital care: prescription for disaster.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249224"} {"pmid": "10249210", "title": "The health services administration program at Quinnipiac College.", "content": "The health services administration program at Quinnipiac College.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249210"} {"pmid": "10249209", "title": "The master of health administration program at Loma Linda University.", "content": "The master of health administration program at Loma Linda University.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249209"} {"pmid": "10249232", "title": "Blues aid in hospital energy conservation.", "content": "Blues aid in hospital energy conservation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249232"} {"pmid": "10249211", "title": "The Center for Health Services Research at the University of Washington.", "content": "The Center for Health Services Research at the University of Washington.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249211"} {"pmid": "10249208", "title": "The graduate program in health administration at Duke University: financial alternatives.", "content": "The graduate program in health administration at Duke University: financial alternatives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249208"} {"pmid": "10249234", "title": "Formal and informal care: discontinuities in a continuum.", "content": "Formal and informal care: discontinuities in a continuum.

Physicians implemented 76% of pharmacist initiated recommendations for the treatment of adverse effects and were appreciative of increased pharmacy involvement. The implementation of such recommendations was felt to have substantially reduced the incidence of drug-induced acute hospitalizations.

In recent years a great deal of attention has been paid to motivation and job satisfaction among hospital pharmacy practitioners. Institutional pharmacy managers should become more aware of ways in which they can motivate members of their staff. Specifically, Frederick Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory is discussed in reference to its origination, major tenets, and practical applications in institutional pharmacy practice settings. Principally, Herzberg's theory explains needs of workers in terms of extrinsic factors called \"hygienes\" and intrinsic factors called \"motivators.\" The theory suggests that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are not opposites but two separate dimensions. According to this theory, an employee will be motivated if the task allows for the following: 1)actual achievement, 2) recognition for achievement, 3) increased responsibility, 4) opportunity for growth (professionally), and 5) chance for advancement. It is concluded that some of these suggested applications can be useful to managers who are faced with low morale among the members of their staff.", "url":

They reported better social support and fewer financial problems and tended to have a shorter stay in the hospital. No differences in initial distress, injuries, or demographic characteristics were found that could account for the differences between the groups. Within groups, better support and fewer stress areas after injury were related to better outcome.

Death counseling as a specialized service appeared in the 20th century in response to new needs for assistance with death-related crises and transitions. Significant experiences with death and dying can be viewed as maturational crises through which people learn to cope with themselves during adversity and change. Because these experiences have a significant impact on developmental tasks in childhood and adult life, the death counselor needs to be knowledgeable about human development across the lifespan and sensitive to the problems of communication across differences in age, sex, culture, and cohort experiences. Knowledge about the impact of different death-related experiences on individuals, families, and providers is also essential for understanding the disruptive effects of these events on persons and groups.

Identifying with the patient role, respondents believed patients should be told the truth immediately and unconditionally. In contrast, respondents indentifying with family members perceived conditions under which the rights of patients should be abridged. In this latter role, male respondents were significantly less likely than males to imagine themselves as able to inform a loved one about a terminal illness. Nevertheless, for both sexes, early childhood experiences communicating about death and dying were found to be a better predictor of the case with which respondents can imagine communicating with a terminally ill loved one than are current adult attitudes and experiences. Regardless of personal ease in discussing death, however, most respondents thought the physician, not family members or other health care professionals, should decide when and how the terminally ill adult should be informed--a noteworthy finding in light of the fact that 83 percent of all respondents consider physicians poorly equipped for this role.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249581"} {"pmid": "10249582", "title": "The mourning of the health care professional: an important element in education about death and loss.", "content": "The mourning of the health care professional: an important element in education about death and loss. This article explores the centrality of the mourning process in the education of developing health care professionals who are the survivors of complex and manifold losses. This was discussed in an elective seminar for senior medical students and graduate nurses. Learning about clinical responsibility often occurred in the context of loss and mourning. The outcome of mourning included for some a greater sensitivity to the impact of clinical interventions and a more accurate empathy for losses incurred by patients as a result of illness. Old and unresolved loss and mourning experiences were reawakened as a result of the seminar, which led to a sorting and mastering of these experiences. This is felt to be a common result of discussions about encounters with death and loss. Courses on death and dying for the health care professional, although important, are not sufficient by themselves for mastery of these topics. Clinical teachers must be aware of the student's response to loss and provide an atmosphere that legitimizes learning about these issues. The principles of awareness and open acknowledgement of loss and mourning are applicable to all health care settings.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249582"} {"pmid": "10249583", "title": "Anticompetitive data dissemination in the medical profession: the conflict between the Sherman act and the First Amendment.", "content": "Anticompetitive data dissemination in the medical profession: the conflict between the Sherman act and the First Amendment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249583"} {"pmid": "10249584", "title": "Satellites and public service organizations.", "content": "Satellites and public service organizations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249584"} {"pmid": "10249585", "title": "Washington struggle mirrors contention elsewhere.", "content": "Washington struggle mirrors contention elsewhere.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249585"} {"pmid": "10249586", "title": "Scribe system works like a charm in sarasota ED.", "content": "Scribe system works like a charm in sarasota ED.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10249586"} {"pmid": "10249577", "title": "The development of a hospital pharmacy policy and procedure manual.", "content": "The development of a hospital pharmacy policy and procedure manual.

Parenteral Services has been, perhaps, the major area of growth in Australian hospital pharmacy over the last three years. The pattern of growth of Australia has deviated somewhat from that which has emerged in the United States. Whereas the typical I.V. admixture service is relatively uncommon in Australian hospitals, the emphasis is towards specialization into Parenteral Nutrition and Oncology Support Services. Developments in Oncology Support have been particularly rapid, with many pharmacists becoming exclusively involved in this specialty. Concern is felt that operators intensively reconstituting and preparing cytotoxic drugs may be at risk from a variety of factors. Australian hospital pharmacists share the growing international opinion that this work is potentially hazardous and that safety guidelines governing every aspect of handling these substances are urgently required. The Specialty Practice Committee on Parenteral Services has conducted a study of safety aspects of this work as its major project for 1980 and has produced the document presented below.

It appears that attitudes toward the compressed week are favorable, with some generalization to job attitudes. Performance outcomes are ambiguous, although there are no reported decreases; fatigue seems to be the only negative aspect of the longer day. An examination of mediating variables suggests more complex relationships between the implementation of the compressed work week and potential outcomes.

Although Illinois is considered an urban industrial state it has many rural areas with scant medical, social and public health services. The need to improve these services has been recognized as a priority by the Health Systems Agency and by citizens of those areas. One method of beginning to meet those needs is to extend Home Health Services from a nearby county where Medicare-certified services are already well developed. This article is to share the methodology used by Peoria City/County Health Department in developing a plan to meet the Home Health Care needs of Marshall and Putnam Counties. The presentation will be made in a case study format with identification of decision points within the process. The objective in identifying decision points is to assist home health agencies contemplating expansion into adjoining counties with the process of program development. The goal of the process is to provide Home Health Services to an underserved area.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250113"} {"pmid": "10250100", "title": "NICU: intensive education and infant transport capabilities optimize service of Boise's St. Luke's Hospital neonatal IC unit.", "content": "NICU: intensive education and infant transport capabilities optimize service of Boise's St. Luke's Hospital neonatal IC unit.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250100"} {"pmid": "10250102", "title": "Developing a hospital real estate acquisition program.", "content": "Developing a hospital real estate acquisition program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250102"} {"pmid": "10250099", "title": "View from the East.", "content": "View from the East.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250099"} {"pmid": "10250114", "title": "Credentialing cited as major issue in quality assurance.", "content": "Credentialing cited as major issue in quality assurance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250114"} {"pmid": "10250101", "title": "Health care manager's notebook: art of negotiating.", "content": "Health care manager's notebook: art of negotiating.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250101"} {"pmid": "10250103", "title": "The West -- is it really different?", "content": "The West -- is it really different?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250103"} {"pmid": "10250115", "title": "Perspectives: quality assurance and risk management.", "content": "Perspectives: quality assurance and risk management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250115"} {"pmid": "10250117", "title": "St. Joseph's Hospital, Huntingburg, IN.

The Associate Director and the Assistant Director perform primarily administrative functions in order to maintain overall control, coordination, and quality assurance of the department. The Education Coordinator helps maintain the level of basic competence of the staff and coordinates the development and implementation of new departmental programs.

A mail survey was conducted among a sample of 232 dietitians employed in British Columbia hospitals to investigate their clinical role. An inventory of 40 typical clinical activities was developed, validated and administered to determine role expectations, role performance and role disparity. Questionnaires were returned by 181 (78%) of the dietitians but results are based on the responses of 140 as the others did not meet criteria for inclusion in the study. The majority of respondents were under 33 years of age and employed full time in hospitals with 200 or more beds. Nearly half were generalists and one-third were clinical specialists. Although their role expectations agree with the inventory for 92.5% of the activities, only 62.5% of the activities were actually performed. A moderate or high disparity, indicating a discrepancy between role expectation and role performance, was registered for 60% of the activities. Deterrents cited most frequently as responsible for role disparity were 'opportunity has never occurred' and 'lack of time'.

The first part of this article describes these complexities - the significant events, and the grievances and their resolution. In the second part the dispute is analysed in terms of its causes, effects and implications, particularly for the medical profession. The ambivalence, confusion and ignorance about the new contract and the question of breaking government pay policy, problems of representation, and conflicts of interests within the profession are highlighted.

Using voluntary blood donation as a case example, the study on which this article is based explored not only the extent, or breadth, of community involvement in social policy behaviours, but also the continuity, or depth, of this commitment. Demographic and motivational data were collected through a postal questionnaire returned by 1,784 persons who had voluntary donated blood at least once in metropolitan Toronto between 1974 and 1978. An empirical distinction was also drawn between the 'active' and the 'lapsed' donor. The study found that while certain sectors of society were probably disproportionately represented among those who close to undertake voluntary social behaviours, the continuity of these actions could not be statistically associated with demographic or socio-economic variables. However, it did find that donors initially motivated by 'external' considerations such as convenience of location were more likely to lapse, while those for whom moral considerations and a sense of community were most important were more likely to continue as active donors. The general conclusion suggests that manipulating the context may be useful to broaden the initial participatory base in voluntary actions, but to produce continuity in this involvement the challenge must be phrased in moral language.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250264"} {"pmid": "10250265", "title": "Management's right to loyalty of supervisors.", "content": "Management's right to loyalty of supervisors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250265"} {"pmid": "10250266", "title": "Pioneers in the fishbowl.", "content": "Pioneers in the fishbowl.

The authors analyzed the historical development of the major representative research studies and concepts concerning the morale-productivity relationship and found that the relationship evolved from one of simple direct correlation to the present viewpoint that a variety of factors--such as the environment, motivation, job levels, and so on--must be taken into consideration before any positive conclusion can be drawn.

A semi-Markov process describes the flows of customers (patients) through a network of service units. We model the case where one of the units has finite capacity and no queues are allowed to form. We show that the expected level of utilization and service can be computed from a simple linear relationship based on (a) the equilibrium arrival rates at each unit which are associated with the case of infinite capacity, (b) mean holding times for each unit, and (c) the probability that the finite capacity unit is at full capacity. We use Erlang's loss formula to calculate the probability of full capacity, show this calculation to be exact for two cases, and recommend its use as an approximation in the general case. We test the accuracy of the approximation on a set of published data. In the discussion, we present a technique for analyzing collected patient flow data using the results of this methodology.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250348"} {"pmid": "10250354", "title": "Perquisites: the intrinsic form of pay.", "content": "Perquisites: the intrinsic form of pay. Compensation packages, particularly for executives, are made up of five elements--salary, employee benefits, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and perquisites. Of these, perquisites are probably the most misunderstood, according to author Bruce Ellig, vice-president of Corporate Compensation and Benefits for Pfizer Inc. The value of perquisites, or \"perks,\" is their degree of exclusivity--that is, their worth as status symbols or \"membership benefits\" for those employees at or above a certain level in the company's hierarchy. And their value is enhanced when they (as some do) qualify for favorable tax treatment. True perks fall into six categories--time off with pay, executive services, nonperformance awards, health-care, survivor protection, and retirement coverage. Within these categories, perks take many forms. Time off with pay, for example, might include employment contracts, liberalized vacations, the privilege of working at home, disability benefits, sabbaticals, severance pay, or outplacement assistance.

Conflict is pervasive and an inevitable part of life--at work and elsewhere. But author Dennis King, organizational consultant for The Procter & Gamble Manufacturing Company, adds that it is also a functional part of the social process. Managing conflict on the job involves the ability to identify, seek out, and utilize the functions of conflict and its outcomes. He identifies fifteen functions of conflict in three major categories: maintaining or reinforcing identity and innate strength, increasing operational effectiveness, and dealing with others. For example, conflict can lead to minor clashes that actually strengthen a relationship because they function as safety valves--preventing the buildup of tension to the stage of explosion. (Note, however, that a conflict over the basic foundation of a relationship spells trouble.) Similarly, in the union-management relationship, both negotiations and grievance handling focus on adjusting or eliminating problem elements so that the employer-employee relationship can exist satisfactorily. Recognizing and exploiting the functions of a conflict situation--that is, functional conflict management--can work to our benefit. If we develop a \"functional mind-set,\" looking for the positive aspects of conflict will become natural.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250353"} {"pmid": "10250374", "title": "Community education as a communications tool.", "content": "Community education as a communications tool.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250374"} {"pmid": "10250376", "title": "Too many Caesarean births?", "content": "Too many Caesarean births?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250376"} {"pmid": "10250342", "title": "Are dealers maximizing the advantages of leasing?", "content": "Are dealers maximizing the advantages of leasing?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250342"} {"pmid": "10250367", "title": "Making TV work: some lessons learned by Cleveland's hospital network.", "content": "Making TV work: some lessons learned by Cleveland's hospital network.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250367"} {"pmid": "10250380", "title": "Perks: food service sweetens its benefits to keep its executive talent.", "content": "Perks: food service sweetens its benefits to keep its executive talent.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250380"} {"pmid": "10250379", "title": "On the job--health care: worried about wages and advancement.", "content": "On the job--health care: worried about wages and advancement.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250379"} {"pmid": "10250378", "title": "A 'ready' food system that works.", "content": "A 'ready' food system that works.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250378"} {"pmid": "10250366", "title": "Closed-circuit television: the promise and the problems.", "content": "Closed-circuit television: the promise and the problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250366"} {"pmid": "10250368", "title": "Survey of hospitals suggests solutions to some common CCTV problems.", "content": "Survey of hospitals suggests solutions to some common CCTV problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250368"} {"pmid": "10250381", "title": "Perks: benefit package increases.", "content": "Perks: benefit package increases.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250381"} {"pmid": "10250382", "title": "1981 annual report: health care.", "content": "1981 annual report: health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250382"} {"pmid": "10250384", "title": "Dental plan fees vary widely across U.S.", "content": "Dental plan fees vary widely across U.S.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250384"} {"pmid": "10250383", "title": "Employee benefits; risk managers should grab the reins!", "content": "Employee benefits; risk managers should grab the reins!", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250383"} {"pmid": "10250385", "title": "The paradox of managing a project-oriented matrix: establishing coherence within chaos.", "content": "The paradox of managing a project-oriented matrix: establishing coherence within chaos.

Data acquired in personal interviews administered to 27 physicians and 32 nurses who participated in the first year of the Home Care for the Child with Cancer project provided descriptions of individual sources of social support. The results reveal a range of supportive mechanisms and networks within varied institutional contexts.

This article concerns the issues surrounding discharge of mentally retarded clients from a short-term, intensive residential service setting. The Temple University Woodhaven Center is designed as a two-year setting for about 270 clients. They require intensive assistance in acquiring behaviors necessary for independent functioning and in learning appropriate social behavior, so that they can adapt to and thrive in a less restrictive, more integrated setting. Woodhaven, however, serves clients at all levels of retardation. The question arises: How is it decided who is to be discharged and when? Upon entry to Woodhaven, a contract is written with the family and client, specifying what behavioral changes are expected as preconditions for discharge. In this approach, a client should be discharged upon attainment of contract goals. A second approach uses adaptive behavior skills as a criterion of progress, and attempts to determine the level of skills displayed by other, similar clients who are already living in the community. This second, criterion-referenced approach is important not only for discharge decisions from one facility, but for broad service system planning as well. The results of the present study supported the notion of a two-year intensive residential program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250587"} {"pmid": "10250588", "title": "Utilizing nonparametric statistical techniques: evaluating management effectiveness of an alcoholic treatment center.", "content": "Utilizing nonparametric statistical techniques: evaluating management effectiveness of an alcoholic treatment center. A system of measures was designed to evaluate the effect of a change in management of an alcoholic treatment center. The measures also were used to indicate the causes for the changes in performance. Because the treatment center's physical plant is to be replaced in the near future, regression techniques, using one of the evaluation measures, were used to predict the size of the replacement facility and when it should become operational. The evaluation was made approximately a year after the management change occurred.

Ethylene oxide (EO) is widely used in the health care industry as a gas sterilant for medical products that cannot withstand the high temperature and humidity associated with conventional steam sterilization. As a consequence, approximately 100,000 health care workers are exposed to residual EO each year. The acute toxicity of exposure to EO has been well documented, and recent concern about the mutagenic potential of occupational exposure to EO has resulted in an effort to further reduce workplace exposure levels to EO. The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a rebuttal presumption against registration of EO as a pesticide and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has proposed a sharp reduction in the threshold limit value permitted for EO. Recognizing the need for environmental health personnel to become more familiar with this workplace hazard, it is appropriate to briefly review the toxic effects of acute and chronic exposure to EO residuals. The authors describe a gas sterilization system successfully utilized at the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in New Orleans, La., which has demonstrated exposure concentrations well below the EO threshold limit value recently proposed by the ACGIH, while preserving the principal goal of assuring the sterility of reusable medical products which cannot be subjected to steam sterilization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250721"} {"pmid": "10250738", "title": "Osteopathic Hospital of Maine: outpatient department-policies and procedures.", "content": "Osteopathic Hospital of Maine: outpatient department-policies and procedures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250738"} {"pmid": "10250739", "title": "Efficient billing organization.", "content": "Efficient billing organization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250739"} {"pmid": "10250740", "title": "The computer--friend or foe of the credit manager.", "content": "The computer--friend or foe of the credit manager.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250740"} {"pmid": "10250741", "title": "Collection receivable management.", "content": "Collection receivable management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250741"} {"pmid": "10250720", "title": "Wash water temperature and sanitation in the hospital laundry.", "content": "Wash water temperature and sanitation in the hospital laundry.

Traditional medicine appears to be more directly involved with the discovery and eradication of organic disease. It is proposed that one facet of the holistic concept be applied to our current system of health care delivery. A patient relations program takes manpower, time, money and a genuine interest in the patient. But the rewards far outweigh the costs. The patient, it is felt, is treated with greater understanding and concern. This elicits a positive comment from them to the attending technologist. The technologist is gratified that his efforts are noticed, and he continues to work at improving the professional services offered to a caring patient. It works!

Patients did not express negative feelings about the thought of meeting another person with ankylosing spondylitis whose disease was less severe or whose coping ability was greater or less than their own.

This paper addresses questions concerning the effects of patient education strategies to increase adherence to antihypertensive medical regimens. It endeavors to fill gaps in our knowledge about intervention effects that may link research findings with health care applications. Data from a community intervention study of 432 hypertensives are used to address two broad questions relating research on patient education to health care practice: Do interventions have different effects on individuals who differ with respect to initial attitudes or knowledge, and to what extent do interventions produce changes in the factors thought to mediate their effects on behavior? This investigation tests a client-oriented approach to the delivery of interventions, the Individual Management Plan (IMP). The IMP approach is based on the hypothesis that interventions will be differentially effective for individuals with varying levels of initial attitudes and knowledge thought to mediate the effects of the interventions on behavior. Analysis of variance, correlational analyses, and analysis of covariance models are used to test various aspects of this hypothesis. Analyses are performed for adherence to medication regimens, dietary sodium restrictions, and weight-loss recommendations. The results of analyses offer only minimal support for the IMP hypothesis. The state of the art and constraining factors in the study are examined to guide future applications of the IMP approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250813"} {"pmid": "10250819", "title": "QA standard adopted for ambulatory health care.", "content": "QA standard adopted for ambulatory health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250819"} {"pmid": "10250832", "title": "What is quality in patient education and how do we assess it?", "content": "What is quality in patient education and how do we assess it?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10250832"} {"pmid": "10250811", "title": "Use of nonprofessional volunteers with pregnant teenagers.", "content": "Use of nonprofessional volunteers with pregnant teenagers.

PRN medications were reduced significantly from 4.1 to 2.1 per patient (p less than 0.01). Also, a significant amount of savings to these patients or their third-party payers, potentially $1500 per year in this SNF, resulted from the credit issued for discontinued unit-of-use medications. The reported potential cost savings could not have been obtained from medication being dispensed in traditional prescription packaging. Therefore, this study's data should influence state and governmental agencies to begin considering reimbursing vendor pharmacies for implementing unit-of-use packaging in their nursing homes.

By contrast the British, DHSS-sponsored system, HAA (Hospital ACtivity Analysis) is 'clinically impoverished'. This was the comparison drawn by Dr Brain Moores, of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, in an article which followed a visit he made last year to the headquarters of the Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities (CPHA) at Ann Arbor, Michigan (Journal, 5 December, 1980). Recently, senior officials of CPHA flew to Britain to discuss PAS with an invited audience of British statisticians, administrators, doctors and other information specialists at a two-day seminar in Manchester. It now seems likely that some British health authorities may want to experiment with the PAS approach as an alternative, or a supplement, to HAA.

To offset its devastating effects, the military routinely schedules its personnel for recreation and relaxation retreats, sends soldiers into combat in groups so they can support and help each other, and limits the number of flights that pilots fly. Managers are not soldiers but, according to this author and others who have researched the subject, they are prone to a similar exhaustion and sense of futility. Like other professionals, mental health workers, and policemen who work under severe pressure in people-oriented jobs for long periods of time--with little support and limited gains--managers are among the prime victims of burn-out.

This paper discusses the international migration of physicians and nurses in the Americas in terms of dimensions, directions, salient characteristics of migrants, and possible consequences of migratory flow. The paper is based on information from a previous multinational study on the international migration of physicians and nurses, carried out by the World Health Organization; the study is both descriptive of this phenomenon and prescriptive of the type of measures that may be needed to control it. There is sufficient evidence to substantiate the order of magnitude of the outflow of medical and nursing manpower from Central and South American countries to provide a guide to policy and action. The information for most countries is, however, incomplete and inaccurate and, consequently, the net flow remains to be determined. A large part of the migration appears to be due to the imbalance between the supply of, and the effective economic demand for, physicians' and nurses' services. Perhaps the most important finding is that countries which produce far more physicians and nurses than they can economically afford to employ become donors of such manpower, and those which produce fewer than they can afford become recipients. Almost all other factors either derive from or are secondary to the economic factor. The paper suggests some alternative policy issues that countries having excessive migration of medical and nursing manpower may consider to control the flows. Among these, the most important is the formulation of realistic health manpower and educational policies and plans.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251079"} {"pmid": "10251084", "title": "The private (mis-)management of public hospitals: feeding at the public trough.", "content": "The private (mis-)management of public hospitals: feeding at the public trough.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251084"} {"pmid": "10251067", "title": "Housekeeping--to contract or not?", "content": "Housekeeping--to contract or not?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251067"} {"pmid": "10251069", "title": "The basics for a system of computers.", "content": "The basics for a system of computers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251069"} {"pmid": "10251073", "title": "Health planning--impact standards: who is measured?", "content": "Health planning--impact standards: who is measured?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251073"} {"pmid": "10251077", "title": "Periodic health evaluations: the multiphasic approach.", "content": "Periodic health evaluations: the multiphasic approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251077"} {"pmid": "10251074", "title": "Health planning: taking stock of the system.", "content": "Health planning: taking stock of the system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251074"} {"pmid": "10251075", "title": "Developing health resources: enough to go around?", "content": "Developing health resources: enough to go around?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251075"} {"pmid": "10251083", "title": "From Ottawa, Uppsala, and Alma-Ata to Canberra, Australia: a rationale for a degree in health.", "content": "From Ottawa, Uppsala, and Alma-Ata to Canberra, Australia: a rationale for a degree in health.

Rutgers Medical School was started in 1962 as a two year medical school. By 1976 its basic science enrollment had grown to 108 and it retained 56 students each year for clinical instruction. During the early 1970's the medical school had been frustrated on three different occasions in its attempts to build an on-campus teaching hospital. This paper describes the school's successful post-1976 planning efforts to provides its faculty and students with the appropriate clinical facilities by a model which would generate support among external constituencies. The history of the medical school prior to 1976 is presented briefly. The paper then develops the rationale for the new planning model and shows the relationship of the model to the educational bases of the institution.

During the 1970s, partly as a response to U.S. public policy which promoted the objective of equal opportunity for women, there was a dramatic increase in the proportion of women entering careers in medicine. Some observers have expressed the expectation that these women physicians will promote progressive changes in health care and that they will be more likely to emphasize \"humanistic\" aspects of treating patients. This paper presents data from a national survey of U.S. medical students which provides a comparison of several relevant characteristics of these male and female students. There are several important areas where significant differences are apparent. Women students are more likely to place greater importance on the desire to help people as a career motivation, for example, and are less likely to express satisfaction with the status quo in American health care. There are also significant male-female differences in career plans with respect to areas such as specialty choice and preference for practice setting. These findings are used to consider the question of the probable impact of increased numbers of women physicians on the future of American health care. Projections for the future are made more difficult because of important changes within the medical profession and in the context of health care organization, but it is clear that women physicians do represent some potential for progressive change in American medicine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251080"} {"pmid": "10251085", "title": "The private (mis-)management of public hospitals: the case of Highland Hospital.", "content": "The private (mis-)management of public hospitals: the case of Highland Hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251085"} {"pmid": "10251088", "title": "Operational auditing--staying on top of hospital revenues.", "content": "Operational auditing--staying on top of hospital revenues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251088"} {"pmid": "10251053", "title": "Managing the public relations function.", "content": "Managing the public relations function.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251053"} {"pmid": "10251089", "title": "Paperless processing: Part 2.", "content": "Paperless processing: Part 2.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251089"} {"pmid": "10251090", "title": "Travel and expense reports--keep them simple.", "content": "Travel and expense reports--keep them simple.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251090"} {"pmid": "10251052", "title": "Job description: vice president--marketing.", "content": "Job description: vice president--marketing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251052"} {"pmid": "10251091", "title": "Stay current with HFMA's new certification maintenance program.", "content": "Stay current with HFMA's new certification maintenance program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251091"} {"pmid": "10251092", "title": "Hospitals: economic contributors.", "content": "Hospitals: economic contributors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251092"} {"pmid": "10251064", "title": "What do they have that we don't?", "content": "What do they have that we don't?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251064"} {"pmid": "10251094", "title": "Payment patterns: Monitrend medians.", "content": "Payment patterns: Monitrend medians.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251094"} {"pmid": "10251093", "title": "Oklahoma Chapter uses phone network to present program.", "content": "Oklahoma Chapter uses phone network to present program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251093"} {"pmid": "10251096", "title": "Involve your staff in plans for change.", "content": "Involve your staff in plans for change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251096"} {"pmid": "10251095", "title": "Nurse staffing changes benefit hospitals and employees.", "content": "Nurse staffing changes benefit hospitals and employees.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251095"} {"pmid": "10251097", "title": "Hospital-medical staff collaboration key to survival.", "content": "Hospital-medical staff collaboration key to survival.

Items on both inventories covered the areas of job, family/support, and financial affairs. Items measuring self-efficacy from the PQOL scale served as the criterion for potential counseling service utilization. Results indicated that family-support concerns were the most predictive of perceptions of self-efficacy. In addition, negatively perceived life changes were more powerful predictors of life quality than were life changes per se.

History of an appeal. This four-part series presents guidelines for: electrically isolated inputs and outputs; measuring the performance of hospital biomedical engineering programs; evaluation the risk of electric shock in hospitals; and for isolated power in anesthetizing locations. Parts I and II, covering the first two topics above, were published in the Oct.-Dec. 1980 issue of this Journal. Part III constitutes an attempt to place the risk of electric shock in hospitals in a quantitative perspective. Arguments are presented that indicate that electrical safety precautions usually take up a larger share of the hospital's biomedical equipment safety budget than is justified by the actual hazard levels. Part IV reviews the need for isolated power in anesthetizing locations. Three independently proposed revisions to the 1973 edition of NFPA Standard 56A would have significantly simplified the safety requirements for hospital anesthetizing locations (a) by reducing the area in flammable locations classified as hazardous to the internationally accepted \"zone of risk,\" and (b) by permitting the use of conventional electrical power rather than isolated power in locations where the risk of electrical accidents can be shown to be no greater than it is in other areas of the hospital. Despite extensive technical testimony supported with substantial supporting documentation, the revisions were vetoed by the Technical Committee after they were voted into the document by a floor vote of the general membership attending the NFPA Annual Meeting in Anaheim in 1978.

Distribution of federal funds has achieved equal status with Congressional reapportionment as a motivation and justification for the Census of Population and Housing. This article describes the effects that U.S. population redistribution during the 1970s, as measured by the 1980 Census, will have on the spatial distribution of federal grants-in-aid provided to state and local governments through programs with formula-based funding systems. The conclusion is that funding changes will not match population changes. The overall redistribution of federal grants-in-aid to state and local governments occurring in response to incorporation of 1980 Census population counts into federal funding formulas will be far less than the level of population redistribution since 1970. Use of intercensal data, formula specifications, limited geographic specificity in many formula allocations, and nonformula determinants of formula-based grants all weaken the relationship between Census-measured population change and the receipt of federal funds at the local level. Despite all the intervening factors, it is probably that in many programs there will be some redistribution of funds when the 1980 Census counts are incorporated into the allocation formulas. But the importance of measurement errors and threshold and reclassification effects may equal that of true population change in determining the funds received by local communities. The author describes the effects that U.S. population redistribution during the 1970s, as measured by the 1980 census, will have on the spatial distribution of federal grants-in-aid provided to state and local governments.

There is a basic incompatibility between contemporary death education and the fundamental education of health care professionals. Programs on death and dying explicitly require learners to focus on the affectual and experiential aspects of their patients and of themselves; yet there are implicit elements of health professions education that keep the attention of the student and clinician centered on technological factors. As a result, reactions to death become inadvertently linked to the models and actions prescribed for health care. Thus, humanistic aspects of death and dying are avoided because of the need to fulfill the technological expectations of the profession. These covert influences arise from the use of the medical model, the language of the health professional, and the expectations of the medicalized patient.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251303"} {"pmid": "10251302", "title": "The hospice: an educational-service model providing counseling opportunities and indirect benefits for older widows.", "content": "The hospice: an educational-service model providing counseling opportunities and indirect benefits for older widows.

The need for preparation for widowhood is cited as one major reason why widows should assist potential widows to prepare more adequately for this eventuality. Widows are portrayed as effective lay counselors in hospice because they have experienced the reality of death and possess an empathetic readiness for work in this human service field. The hospice training program for widows is appealing because it presents learning experiences that are satisfying for the older learner. Numerous therapeutic and educational benefits are available to the older widows who participate in hospice work and training.

During this time there were considerable changes in social conditions, political arrangements and the availability of public monies, all of which influenced the structure of the health care sector. In general terms, Newfoundland's health care system shifted from one involving low expenditures and many British type institutions to one involving high expenditures and American type institutions. The evidence suggests that the changes have been particularly beneficial for Newfoundland's merchant class, including the doctors and dentists, although some benefits have also accrued to patients and fishermen.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251497"} {"pmid": "10251500", "title": "The hospital credit manager.", "content": "The hospital credit manager.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251500"} {"pmid": "10251502", "title": "Writing--its influence on collections.", "content": "Writing--its influence on collections.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251502"} {"pmid": "10251501", "title": "Is a production schedule a useful management tool?", "content": "Is a production schedule a useful management tool?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251501"} {"pmid": "10251503", "title": "Outpatient policy essential.", "content": "Outpatient policy essential.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251503"} {"pmid": "10251504", "title": "Cash in hand is worth....", "content": "Cash in hand is worth....", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251504"} {"pmid": "10251507", "title": "How you can market yourself and your department more effectively.", "content": "How you can market yourself and your department more effectively.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251507"} {"pmid": "10251506", "title": "High-temperature laundering serves no purpose today, says columnist.", "content": "High-temperature laundering serves no purpose today, says columnist.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251506"} {"pmid": "10251508", "title": "Cleancraft Linen Supply will design and manage central-laundry plants.", "content": "Cleancraft Linen Supply will design and manage central-laundry plants.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251508"} {"pmid": "10251505", "title": "Merit pay: fact or fiction?", "content": "Merit pay: fact or fiction?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251505"} {"pmid": "10251509", "title": "St. Joseph Hospital laundry soon to handle linen for Silver Cross.", "content": "St. Joseph Hospital laundry soon to handle linen for Silver Cross.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251509"} {"pmid": "10251510", "title": "How to organize most effectively a hospital linen-distribution system.", "content": "How to organize most effectively a hospital linen-distribution system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251510"} {"pmid": "10251512", "title": "War of the words: will books survive?", "content": "War of the words: will books survive?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251512"} {"pmid": "10251511", "title": "Mental health in China today.", "content": "Mental health in China today.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251511"} {"pmid": "10251473", "title": "Roadblocks to hospital marketing.", "content": "Roadblocks to hospital marketing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251473"} {"pmid": "10251474", "title": "The market for health services: is there a non-traditional consumer?", "content": "The market for health services: is there a non-traditional consumer?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251474"} {"pmid": "10251513", "title": "Creative art therapies: another language.", "content": "Creative art therapies: another language.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251513"} {"pmid": "10251477", "title": "Reducing cigarette smoking: an opportunity for social marketing?", "content": "Reducing cigarette smoking: an opportunity for social marketing?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251477"} {"pmid": "10251522", "title": "The nation's bitterest health-planning battle.", "content": "The nation's bitterest health-planning battle.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251522"} {"pmid": "10251475", "title": "Marketing strategies in health education.", "content": "Marketing strategies in health education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251475"} {"pmid": "10251524", "title": "Where your specialty is needed most--and least.", "content": "Where your specialty is needed most--and least.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251524"} {"pmid": "10251523", "title": "What we have to do to help solve the nursing crisis.", "content": "What we have to do to help solve the nursing crisis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251523"} {"pmid": "10251525", "title": "Is care by non-doctors cheaper?

Although selection can be broken into specific steps, the complexity of human behavior limits the usefulness of the cookbook approach.

A 21-item questionnaire was given to nurses, and the answers were subjected to factor analyses. Results indicated three dimensions of technology: instability, uncertainty, and variability. Because of the similarity of these variables to those in the Overton, Schneck, and Hazlett study, the results suggested a high degree of construct validity for the measure. The technological dimensions also differentiated among the types of subunits in the same pattern as in the original study.

Power patterns within each industry were further affected by the extent to which executives coped with the contingencies posed by their organizations' particular strategies.

Clerical workers were trained to collect the data. Statistical analyses suggested that the treatment was beneficial, a finding further supported by a high level of client satisfaction. A group personality profile of clients seeking treatment from an outpatient center is presented, and the results of the study are discussed in relation to the psychotherapy research literature.

A survey questionnaire, assessing general attitudes toward the importance of nutrition in the prevention of disease and the maintenance of good health, was administered to physicians, nurses, dentists, and technicians at five U.S. Army medical centers. The various groups of health care specialists differed significantly on many items concerning the importance of good nutrition and eating habits for maintenance of good health and for recovery from illness, as well as on items concerning the importance of nutrition knowledge and training in their health care professions. More agreement was found among the groups on items concerned with the relationship between disease states and dietary factors and the effectiveness of health education programs in the prevention of various diseases. Self-reports of personal health habits did not correlate with scores on survey items concerned with the importance of good nutrition, suggesting that personal attitudes toward nutrition may be unrelated to other health practices.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251727"} {"pmid": "10251726", "title": "Evaluating reasons for nursing turnover: comparison of exit interview and panel data.", "content": "Evaluating reasons for nursing turnover: comparison of exit interview and panel data. Data from a study of nursing turnover are used to compare findings based on two techniques for evaluating the reasons for resignations within the same population of hospital nurses during one year. The techniques are: (1) exit interviews, in which resigning nurses were asked to report in an open-ended format their major reasons for leaving their jobs; and (2) a prospective panel study, in which nurses who resigned are compared with nurses who remained, and actual turnover is predicted. Results show that due to the absence of a comparison group of remaining nurses and of baseline data, causal inferences based on exit interview data alone are overly simplistic and misleading for management purposes. Results of the panel study are more informative, although implications for hospital management are more complex. Use of the prospective panel design is recommended for hospitals concerned with evaluating nursing job conditions during a period of high turnover and staff nurse shortages.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251726"} {"pmid": "10251736", "title": "The NLRB and supervisory status: an explanation of inconsistent results.", "content": "The NLRB and supervisory status: an explanation of inconsistent results.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251736"} {"pmid": "10251737", "title": "Role of the ward sister.", "content": "Role of the ward sister.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251737"} {"pmid": "10251738", "title": "Accommodation for the elderly--people: patients or residents.", "content": "Accommodation for the elderly--people: patients or residents.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251738"} {"pmid": "10251742", "title": "Catering: controlling costs.", "content": "Catering: controlling costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251742"} {"pmid": "10251739", "title": "Patient services: clinical manager at large.", "content": "Patient services: clinical manager at large.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251739"} {"pmid": "10251740", "title": "Public relations: paving the way for change.", "content": "Public relations: paving the way for change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251740"} {"pmid": "10251741", "title": "Private care: filling a void.", "content": "Private care: filling a void.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251741"} {"pmid": "10251743", "title": "Patient services: getting feedback.", "content": "Patient services: getting feedback.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251743"} {"pmid": "10251744", "title": "Press relations: handling bad news.", "content": "Press relations: handling bad news.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251744"} {"pmid": "10251745", "title": "Health care in Quebec: in the hands of the community.", "content": "Health care in Quebec: in the hands of the community.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251745"} {"pmid": "10251747", "title": "Recover silver and save $.", "content": "Recover silver and save $.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251747"} {"pmid": "10251748", "title": "First annual salary and fringe survey.", "content": "First annual salary and fringe survey.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251748"} {"pmid": "10251753", "title": "Innovative QA program improves care and decreases cost.", "content": "Innovative QA program improves care and decreases cost.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251753"} {"pmid": "10251751", "title": "Labs warned of contamination from automated equipment.", "content": "Labs warned of contamination from automated equipment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251751"} {"pmid": "10251752", "title": "Employee health needs IC for illness identification.", "content": "Employee health needs IC for illness identification.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251752"} {"pmid": "10251749", "title": "When is a dollar not a dollar?", "content": "When is a dollar not a dollar?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251749"} {"pmid": "10251757", "title": "QA program audits nurses at community hospital.", "content": "QA program audits nurses at community hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251757"} {"pmid": "10251755", "title": "Outpatient hospice program decreases cost, maintains quality.", "content": "Outpatient hospice program decreases cost, maintains quality.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251755"} {"pmid": "10251756", "title": "Problems and solutions spotted in medical records evaluation.", "content": "Problems and solutions spotted in medical records evaluation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251756"} {"pmid": "10251754", "title": "Maternity day-care incentive program produces savings for hospital, BC/BS.", "content": "Maternity day-care incentive program produces savings for hospital, BC/BS.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251754"} {"pmid": "10251758", "title": "Strategies to achieve change in QA/RM programs identified.", "content": "Strategies to achieve change in QA/RM programs identified.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251758"} {"pmid": "10251760", "title": "Santa Rosa Medical Center, San Antonio, TX.

Building on fieldwork and participant observation methods, the authors argue that the \"veteran\" patient is less a victim of poor psychiatric care and misdirected reform than he is a citizen with few personal resources, using public services to cope with the exigencies of life. Lacking family, job, and income, the ex-patient incorporates the hospital and other \"therapeutic stations\" into a resource pool upon which he or she can call when the need arises.

Most centers were located in higher-status city and suburban neighborhoods.

The present discussion reports on some of the first statewide data gathering and analysis to assess the consequences of the 1975 reorganization of the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. Two major concepts guiding the reorganization were: (1) integration of services in order to cover more adequately the needs of clients, including \"multi-problem\" clients, and (2) decentralization of administrative authority of all programs under a single, district-wide management structure. Despite widespread interest in the Florida system, and two previous studies, no systematic, detailed study of the impact of reorganization at the service delivery level has been conducted until now. The results of this study indicate that departmental employees perceive substantial decentralization of authority and progress toward integration of services since the 1975 reorganization. Perceived improvement in client services is also indicated. Major factors cited as influential in the change are the move toward collocation of services, the establishment of administratively interlinked service networks, and to a lesser extent, the development of generalist managers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251865"} {"pmid": "10251877", "title": "Reagan's impact on the healthcare industry: Part III--the industry impact.", "content": "Reagan's impact on the healthcare industry: Part III--the industry impact.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251877"} {"pmid": "10251875", "title": "Healthcare in the eighties: distributors and multi-hospital systems.", "content": "Healthcare in the eighties: distributors and multi-hospital systems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251875"} {"pmid": "10251876", "title": "The Frost and Sullivan Report: the medical and shared contract services market.", "content": "The Frost and Sullivan Report: the medical and shared contract services market.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251876"} {"pmid": "10251878", "title": "CAT fever: a questionable prognosis.", "content": "CAT fever: a questionable prognosis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251878"} {"pmid": "10251866", "title": "Performance appraisal: if only people were not involved.", "content": "Performance appraisal: if only people were not involved.

The constitutional rights of children, the mentally ill, and other legally incompetent persons have been the subject of much litigation in the past twenty years. In this Article, Professor Garvey develops a general theory to explain the different ways in which persons of diminished capacity can be said to enjoy constitutional protections. He first notes that, of the various constitutional provisions, only one kind - freedom, which protect the right to make choices - pose serious difficulties when applied to persons of diminished capacity. He then proposes a hierarchy of ways in which we can attribute freedoms to such persons: the laissez-faire notion that all persons (including incompetents) are to be treated identically, the instrumental idea that granting freedoms to incompetents achieves extrinsic goals such as training, and the surrogate notion that persons who cannot make choices for themselves should be able to have those closest to them choose on their behalf. Professor Garvey concludes that, when these options fail and the state takes an incompetent person under its control, the state owes to the incompetent the full package of duties owed by other guardians to those under their control, including treatment in the case of the mentally ill or education in the case of children.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10251939"} {"pmid":

Each pharmacist is required to successfully complete two weeks of classroom instruction and four weeks of clinical training conducted on pediatric nursing units. Comprehensive checklists were designed to document all training efforts.

The survey attempts to examine various Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P & T) Committees' activities for indications of a rational and objective approach to drugs and the hospital formulary. The objectives were: 1) to gain insight as to how drug products attain formulary listing by examining select P & T Committee's reasons for adding and deleting drugs; 2) to determine whether P & T Committees are attempting to follow generally accepted guidelines for the operation of the formulary system; and 3) to determine how the hospital pharmacist is responding to the rational and/or irrational drug selection by the P & T Committee. The results showed that the hospitals studied appeared to be acting in agreement with the guidelines presented.

It is not based on a well-defined body of knowledge. It does not have a professional society directly representing it. This condition can be remedied by the establishment of a professional society for clinical engineering that can educate consumers about the capabilities of clinical engineers, guide providers in designing clinical engineering curricula, and promote increased involvement of clinical engineers in all high-technology areas of hospitals and in the decision-making process at their institutions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252002"} {"pmid": "10252010", "title": "The case for a smoother ride: a cinematographer develops an air suspension system for ambulances.", "content": "The case for a smoother ride: a cinematographer develops an air suspension system for ambulances.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252010"} {"pmid": "10252005", "title": "A low-cost environmental control system for quadriplegics.", "content": "A low-cost environmental control system for quadriplegics.

Since \"cost containment\" is a phase on all of our minds these days, costs were carefully considered by our planning groups during the design stages. At the same time, we knew that we could ill afford to \"cut any corners\" that might ultimately endanger the well being of burn victims entrusted to our care. The design and construction of the Central New York Regional Burn Treatment Center took over two years.

The assary of each radiopharmaceutical dosage before it is administered to a patient is currently required as a condition for a specific license. Measurement of the total activity of radiopharmaceutical dosage helps to protect patients from unnecessary radiation resulting from errors in labeling, calculating or dispensing dosages.

The Government Accounting Office, in the meantime, found that a definition of the scope of medication review is still lacking, as is a single source of information on drug monitoring. As the proposed regulations and the corresponding guidelines appear to have severe shortcomings, the authors developed new standards and guidelines for the Baltimore City PSRO.

Many patients receive their filled prescriptions without verbal instructions and must rely on the label as their only source of information. A two-phase study was designed to measure differences in recall information when two common variations in label format were employed. Phase I: Does the patient comprehend label directions better if numbers are typed as words or as numerals? Phase II: Does the addition of preprinted auxiliary labels affect recall of directions? In Phase I, 100 patients were asked to read a label expressing three numbers as words and an additional 100 read the same label using numerals. In Phase II, patients saw the label using numerals with either zero, one, two, or three auxiliary labels attached. Each label was seen by 50 patients. Patients were scored on a point system based on their ability to repeat label directions. There was no significant difference in information recall between label format groups (p greater than 0.05). Only 44% of the patients could remember all directions, 13% could remember no information, and 63% failed to read the auxiliary labels. These results suggest that pharmacists should place less reliance on label format and the use of auxiliary labels to communicate information and spend more time verbally counseling their patients on the proper use of their medications.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252152"} {"pmid": "10252153", "title": "Analysis of the change in work patterns following installation of an inpatient pharmacy computer system.", "content": "Analysis of the change in work patterns following installation of an inpatient pharmacy computer system.

When faced with business problems, managers naturally make identifying the trouble their priority. Once that is done, at least half the job is over; finding solutions is just a matter of time. This hasn't been so, however, with the human resources problem: how to motivate employees. Sixty years ago, the Hawthorne experiments revealed the issue, and ever since, managers, researchers, and consultants have been searching for the answer to the human resources problem. Why aren't employees as productive, loyal, and dedicated to their companies as their managers know they can be? The author of this article proposes four reasons why actuality has fallen so far below expectation in personnel management, namely, that managers' expectations have been too high in the first place, that the concepts staff professionals offer managers are frequently contradictory, that the corporate role of personnel has always been problematic, and finally, that managers hold assumptions concerning their employees that undermine efforts to motivate them.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252235"} {"pmid": "10252236", "title": "Outlook for hospitals: systems are the solution. Interview by Jeff C. Goldsmith.", "content": "Outlook for hospitals: systems are the solution. Interview by Jeff C. Goldsmith. Like all industries, the health care industry undergoes change. A fragmented system of isolated, free-standing community hospitals is undergoing rapid consolidation into large multihospital corporations and systems. If the history of other industries is any guide, this consolidation will accelerate as the nation instills greater economic competition in the health marketplace. In the future, say the managers of two very different hospital networks, large multihospital systems will predominate. Two big questions, then, are: Should these systems be proprietary or voluntary? And how should they go about meeting people's changing health care needs? These interviews with the physician founders of two multihospital organizations, Hospital Corporation of America in Nashville and Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, focus on these organizations' contrasting corporate strategies and on the mechanisms that will enable them to survive a shakeout in the industry. The differences between the two systems are linked to the philosophies of their founders, who disagree about how and where patients will get the best treatment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252236"} {"pmid": "10252234", "title": "Patient education on videotape.", "content": "Patient education on videotape.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252234"} {"pmid": "10252246", "title": "Unit concept pulls together critical fire safety factors.", "content": "Unit concept pulls together critical fire safety factors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252246"} {"pmid": "10252247", "title": "Using an executive search consultant to find the right executives.", "content": "Using an executive search consultant to find the right executives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252247"} {"pmid": "10252266", "title": "Special report: are biological indicators the 'ultimate' sterilizer test?", "content": "Special report: are biological indicators the 'ultimate' sterilizer test?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252266"} {"pmid": "10252268", "title": "Chickenpox exposures cost hospital $20,000.", "content": "Chickenpox exposures cost hospital $20,000.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252268"} {"pmid": "10252267", "title": "Mallison describes methods of solid waste disposal.", "content": "Mallison describes methods of solid waste disposal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252267"} {"pmid": "10252269", "title": "Productivity: \"a dirty word in the voluntary non-profit agency\"?", "content": "Productivity: \"a dirty word in the voluntary non-profit agency\"?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252269"} {"pmid": "10252256", "title": "DHSS and the NHS: can the elephant turn white?", "content": "DHSS and the NHS: can the elephant turn white?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252256"} {"pmid": "10252258", "title": "Future developments in the care of the mentally handicapped.", "content": "Future developments in the care of the mentally handicapped.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252258"} {"pmid": "10252257", "title": "The management challenge after reorganisation.", "content": "The management challenge after reorganisation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252257"} {"pmid": "10252270", "title": "A comparison of home health care for the elderly in the United States and Japan: report of a cross-national project.", "content": "A comparison of home health care for the elderly in the United States and Japan: report of a cross-national project.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252270"} {"pmid": "10252260", "title": "Business/Industry alliance: the untapped health market.", "content": "Business/Industry alliance: the untapped health market.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252260"} {"pmid": "10252271", "title": "Marketing to expand a home care service.", "content": "Marketing to expand a home care service.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252271"} {"pmid": "10252272", "title": "Your present home health information system: is it in need of improvement?", "content": "Your present home health information system: is it in need of improvement?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252272"} {"pmid": "10252253", "title": "Disciplining our procedures: an analysis of the disciplinary and grievance procedures in the NHS--2.", "content": "Disciplining our procedures: an analysis of the disciplinary and grievance procedures in the NHS--2.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252253"} {"pmid": "10252262", "title": "Health care in China: hospitals relegated to secondary role in People's Republic.", "content": "Health care in China: hospitals relegated to secondary role in People's Republic.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252262"} {"pmid": "10252259", "title": "Marketplace competition: California Hospital Association task force examines impact, makes recommendations.", "content": "Marketplace competition: California Hospital Association task force examines impact, makes recommendations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252259"} {"pmid": "10252254", "title": "Job applications--the state of the art.", "content": "Job applications--the state of the art.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252254"} {"pmid": "10252255", "title": "Health services in the 1980s.", "content": "Health services in the 1980s.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252255"} {"pmid": "10252273", "title": "Comparing staff attitudes and patient satisfactions in a home health agency.", "content": "Comparing staff attitudes and patient satisfactions in a home health agency. Patient and staff perceptions of Home Health care delivery were examined in the present study. Opinions from the two groups were surveyed then compared on five perceptual areas. The five areas rated were (a) feelings of ease at home, (b) learning and understanding self-care, (c) trust, (d) quality of care received, and (e) severity of illness. Staff characteristics and patient idiosyncracies were also considered. Overall, patient satisfaction with the Home Health care system was explored. The results indicated a high degree of satisfaction with the amount and appropriateness of Home Health care, confidence about self-care, and feelings of ease at home. All patients returning questionnaires would recommend Home Health services to a friend who may need them. Perhaps more importantly, the provider's opinions exhibited both accordance and discordance with those of the patients surveyed. Accordance was detected in ratings of ease, learning and understanding self-care, trust, and quality of care received at home. Discordance was noted regarding severity-of-illness ratings. As a whole, staff rated the severity of patients' illnesses or injuries as being less severe than did the patients themselves. Independent of primary diagnostic grouping, older patients' illnesses were rated by the staff less severe in nature than those of the younger patients.

A decentralized drug distribution system with the use of master medication carts was implemented. This system was designed so that roving pharmacists could dispense new medication orders quickly and develop a more personal means of nurse-pharmacist interaction for the benefit of better patient care. The key to the system using roving pharmacists is a master medication cart, a pharmacy dispensing unit on wheels, which travels to each nursing unit. The pharmacy medication profiles are kept with the cart, and at each nursing unit patient medication profiles are reviewed, new drug orders are filled, missing medications and discrepancies are resolved, and nurse-pharmacist consultations can take place. There are two roving pharmacists who make simultaneous rounds of all nursing units in the hospital with two similarly stocked master medication carts from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M., seven days a week. All unit dose drawers are filled in the central pharmacy and are exchanged once daily at 2 A.M. by the night pharmacy technician. Each master medication cart carries about 300 different medications, which comprise nearly 95% of the drug needs of the 340 patients served by the two medication carts. The pharmacy department has added 1.4 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) registered pharmacists and eliminated 2.8 FTE pharmacy messengers in implementing the decentralized drug distribution system. Currently, three registered pharmacists per day are assigned to the inpatient unit dose drug distribution system (two roving pharmacists and one unit dose filling pharmacist). Our roving pharmacists play a vital role in improving patient care. The overwhelming support by the nursing and medical staff represents an attempt by the hospital to continue to provide an optimal health care delivery system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252374"} {"pmid": "10252375", "title": "Unreported adverse drug reactions determined by screening physician orders for diphenhydramine.", "content": "Unreported adverse drug reactions determined by screening physician orders for diphenhydramine. According to the standards developed by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals, all adverse drug reactions should be reported following written procedures. An Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting Program is conducted by the Department of Pharmacy Services under the direction of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee. However, many of the adverse drug reactions that occur go unreported. The purpose of the study was to determine whether patients can be screened for particular adverse drug reactions by reviewing the charts of patients having medication orders for diphenhydramine. While 48% of the patients included in the study had received diphenhydramine for treatment of an allergic reaction to a medication, none of the cases involving these reactions were reported according to the written procedures governing the Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting Program. The results of the study indicate that by auditing the prescribing of certain medications one can identify patients having complications due to their drug therapy. A more comprehensive study program could be developed which would screen for many types of adverse drug reactions and audit all of the drugs used to treat these drug-induced illnesses.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252375"} {"pmid": "10252376", "title": "Hospital pharmacy practice in the state of Kansas.", "content": "Hospital pharmacy practice in the state of Kansas.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252376"} {"pmid": "10252377", "title": "Review of the justification for pharmacy parenteral admixture preparation.", "content": "Review of the justification for pharmacy parenteral admixture preparation.

The first is concerned with the rural patient as an inpatient who participates in chest, exercise and education classes, in conjunction with medical treatment, and whose discharge needs are recognized and acted upon while in hospital. The second aspect is that of the one-day educational workshop aimed at outpatients not yet requiring hospitalization. The third aspect pertains to the educational seminars organized to help the rural health professional in fulfilling a role in his or her community, whether assisting patients with COPD at home or in hospital. In the future, in order to assess the efficacy of this multifaceted program, a formal research study devised according to the data obtained through a preliminary survey of 101 of the program's inpatients should be undertaken.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252510"} {"pmid": "10252537", "title": "Sunnybrook Hospital, American Cafe, lead the way with electronics to cut costs, ease workloads.", "content": "Sunnybrook Hospital, American Cafe, lead the way with electronics to cut costs, ease workloads.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252537"} {"pmid": "10252512", "title": "Developing an effective housekeeping training program.", "content": "Developing an effective housekeeping training program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252512"} {"pmid": "10252538", "title": "Director offers step-by-step guide for independent units.", "content": "Director offers step-by-step guide for independent units.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252538"} {"pmid": "10252539", "title": "Common staffing questions answered by manager.", "content": "Common staffing questions answered by manager.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252539"} {"pmid": "10252515", "title": "Decade of the 1970s -- window on the 1980s: a review of health care policy.", "content": "Decade of the 1970s -- window on the 1980s: a review of health care policy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252515"} {"pmid": "10252541", "title": "Abstractive and observational methods of educational evaluation in a dietetic clinic.", "content": "Abstractive and observational methods of educational evaluation in a dietetic clinic.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252541"} {"pmid": "10252542", "title": "Background, attitudinal and behavioural patterns of individuals occupying eight discrete health states.", "content": "Background, attitudinal and behavioural patterns of individuals occupying eight discrete health states.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252542"} {"pmid": "10252540", "title": "How lasers save sight.", "content": "How lasers save sight.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252540"} {"pmid": "10252544", "title": "The Buffalo System: an example of remediation as a method of social control.", "content": "The Buffalo System: an example of remediation as a method of social control.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252544"} {"pmid": "10252545", "title": "Viewpoint: resurrecting the arena.", "content": "Viewpoint: resurrecting the arena.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252545"} {"pmid": "10252521", "title": "A look at how some hospitals are maximizing income, minimizing expenses in response to the financial dilemma.", "content": "A look at how some hospitals are maximizing income, minimizing expenses in response to the financial dilemma.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252521"} {"pmid": "10252522", "title": "Third-party payment for health promotion?

In today's environment of increasing pressures to contain costs, hospital management is faced with the need to identify all potential areas of cost savings. Self-funding of employee health care benefits appears to be one such area: this approach should enable the hospital to control its health plan and allow cash flow to work to its advantage. Further advantages may accrue to the hospital which elects to self-fund its employee health plan should a group of hospitals purchase reinsurance together. SCHA members have enjoyed similar advantages through pooled arrangements in purchasing other employee benefit plans. A series of regional meetings conducted during the fall of 1980 provided a forum for discussion of self-funding alternatives by administrators, chief financial officers, and personnel directors. As a result of these meetings, hospital management is better equipped to monitor, evaluate, and consider alternatives to their present employee health plans.

American government in the twentieth century has been faced with a serious value conflict between the need for rational allocation of scarce resources through planning, and the need to be responsive to a diverse society. Two ideal types of planning correspond to these two values. Rational planning emphasizes the importance of the planner's expertise in achieving the \"best\" path to socially defined goals. Advocacy planning emphasizes the importance of responsiveness to group interests since all planning decisions are basically a matter of value choice. Citizen participation in planning often combines elements of these two models, embodying the value conflict in planning agency procedures. Health systems agencies are examined as a typical case of such planning. Their failure to build a constituency is viewed as a consequence of role conflict reduction strategies by representatives who did not know whether to play the planner or the advocate role, and how to play either.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252532"} {"pmid": "10252575", "title": "The case abstract: a legal reference tool for medical record practitioners.", "content": "The case abstract: a legal reference tool for medical record practitioners.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252575"} {"pmid": "10252576", "title": "Legal issues concerning peer review documents.", "content": "Legal issues concerning peer review documents.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252576"} {"pmid": "10252577", "title": "Right to die issues.", "content": "Right to die issues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252577"} {"pmid": "10252578", "title": "Treating alcohol-related problems: a specialized service within social service.", "content": "Treating alcohol-related problems: a specialized service within social service.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252578"} {"pmid": "10252579", "title": "The hospital pharmacy: cost containment offers real challenges.", "content": "The hospital pharmacy: cost containment offers real challenges.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252579"} {"pmid": "10252580", "title": "Quality assurance: implementing a management information system for nursing.", "content": "Quality assurance: implementing a management information system for nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252580"} {"pmid": "10252581", "title": "Quality assurance: patient care coordinators fill varied roles.", "content": "Quality assurance: patient care coordinators fill varied roles.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252581"} {"pmid": "10252583", "title": "Wellness: coming of age in hospitals.", "content": "Wellness: coming of age in hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252583"} {"pmid": "10252585", "title": "So you want to start a wellness program.", "content": "So you want to start a wellness program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252585"} {"pmid": "10252584", "title": "Professionalism and the smaller hospital administrator.", "content": "Professionalism and the smaller hospital administrator.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252584"} {"pmid": "10252586", "title": "Education in infection control important in preventing illness.", "content": "Education in infection control important in preventing illness.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252586"} {"pmid": "10252587", "title": "TDH: an activist for health people.", "content": "TDH: an activist for health people.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252587"} {"pmid": "10252582", "title": "The hospital's role in health promotion.", "content": "The hospital's role in health promotion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252582"} {"pmid": "10252588", "title": "Health education: replacing myths with facts.", "content": "Health education: replacing myths with facts.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252588"} {"pmid": "10252589", "title": "Health promotion: a personal and institutional investment.", "content": "Health promotion: a personal and institutional investment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252589"} {"pmid": "10252590", "title": "IRS softens position on taxability of lab services.", "content": "IRS softens position on taxability of lab services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252590"} {"pmid": "10252591", "title": "The Chinese Hospital: a board faces tradition and change in an old community.", "content": "The Chinese Hospital: a board faces tradition and change in an old community.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252591"} {"pmid": "10252592", "title": "What financial information should the board receive?", "content": "What financial information should the board receive?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252592"} {"pmid": "10252593", "title": "Taking the mystery out of financial information.", "content": "Taking the mystery out of financial information.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252593"} {"pmid": "10252594", "title": "Blueprint for a successful building program.", "content": "Blueprint for a successful building program.

This paper suggests that there are five problems with contingency theory, ranging from a simple lack of clarity in its theoretical statements to more subtle issues such as the embedding of symmetrical and nonmonotonic assumptions in the theoretical arguments. Starting from Galbraith's (1973) contingency theory about organizing for effectiveness, several traditional contingency hypothesis were tested along with more precise hypotheses developed from knowledge of the five problems with contingency theory. Data were drawn from a study of organizational effectiveness in acute care hospital operating room suites. Although traditional contingency notions were not supported by the data, the more precise hypotheses received stronger empirical support. The study data suggest that relationships between technology, structure, and organizational effectiveness are more complicated than contingency theory now assumes. The paper concludes by suggesting formulation of a contingency theory of organizational effectiveness that includes interactive, nonmonotonic, and symmetrical arguments.", "url":

The aim of the proposed study is to establish a national workload measurement system for hospital pharmacy in Canada. No reliable method presently exists to determine staffing requirements for hospital pharmacy. In order to establish staffing guidelines, a method of scientifically assessing and measuring hospital pharmacy workloads is needed. It is proposed to develop worlkload measurement data for hospital pharmacy according to the Canadian Workload Recording Method of Statistics Canada. The Canadian Workload Recording Method was developed to provide a scientific basis for measuring clinical laboratory workload, thus promoting effective laboratory management. This method is now being applied to other health professions. Data for hospital pharmacy will be collected from various hospital pharmacy departments across Canada based on standardized definitions of modern hospital pharmacy practice. The proposed study will be carried out over a period of two years by a research group located at the College of Pharmacy, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, in cooperation with the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists. Workload measurement data of pharmacy services in Canadian hospitals will serve as a valuable management tool for hospital pharmacy directors, hospital administrators and federal-provincial funding agencies in the determination of total manpower needs and resources for hospital pharmacy. Also, information obtained will be of administrative assistance in the areas of: (a) development of standardized methods of recording hospital pharmacy management information; (b) generation of valid and reliable data to allow comparative studies of hospital pharmacy departments in terms of productivity and utilization of manpower; (c) determination of the proper staffing ratio between pharmacists and supportive personnel; and (d) development of short and long-term planning goals for the hospital pharmacy department. The Canadian Workload Recording Method was designed to reflect current practice by a system of continuous monitoring and review by the user. As new pharmaceutical services develop, additional workload studies can be conducted to establish new standards demonstrating the impact of future programs on manpower requirements.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252672"} {"pmid": "10252669", "title": "Fulfillment for the aged--a change in perspectives.", "content": "Fulfillment for the aged--a change in perspectives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252669"} {"pmid": "10252671", "title": "The Lilly Lecture 1981: professional practice and managing a hospital service.", "content": "The Lilly Lecture 1981: professional practice and managing a hospital service.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252671"} {"pmid": "10252678", "title": "Cooperative negotiations: the key to getting what you need in EMS management.", "content": "Cooperative negotiations: the key to getting what you need in EMS management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252678"} {"pmid": "10252679", "title": "Labor turnover in the ambulance service: a case study of the Sacramento Valley.", "content": "Labor turnover in the ambulance service: a case study of the Sacramento Valley.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252679"} {"pmid": "10252677", "title": "Professional liability coverage: is it necessary?", "content": "Professional liability coverage: is it necessary?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252677"} {"pmid": "10252686", "title": "Travel in good health.", "content": "Travel in good health.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252686"} {"pmid": "10252687", "title": "Monitoring system lowers absenteeism, improves morale.", "content": "Monitoring system lowers absenteeism, improves morale.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252687"} {"pmid": "10252688", "title": "An in-house uniform store.", "content": "An in-house uniform store.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252688"} {"pmid": "10252692", "title": "Horizontal synthetic estimation: a strategy for estimating small area health related characteristics.", "content": "Horizontal synthetic estimation: a strategy for estimating small area health related characteristics.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252692"} {"pmid": "10252689", "title": "Client satisfaction in a health maintenance organization: providers' perceptions compared to clients' reports.", "content": "Client satisfaction in a health maintenance organization: providers' perceptions compared to clients' reports. This study seeks to compare clients' reports of satisfaction/dissatisfaction with an HMO and its medical care program to providers' perceptions of client satisfaction. The main conclusion is that providers are fairly aware of medical care system attributes with which clients are highly satisfied and dissatisfied. Those with direct patient contact, especially physicians and nurses, are most accurate in their perceptions. Personnel without direct patient contact are about equally accurate in their perceptions of client satisfaction, though personnel without patient contact perceive relatively more dissatisfaction than clients report. Most approaches to medical care evaluation examine costs and efficiency and, more recently, the technical quality of care. Less attention has been given to the assessment of client satisfaction, and almost no attention has been given to what providers perceive as the assessment of clients. Clearly, HMOs' viability is determined largely by their ability to identify and correct major problems affecting their enrollments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252689"} {"pmid": "10252690", "title": "Evaluation of a hospice program: effects on terminally ill patients and their families.", "content": "Evaluation of a hospice program: effects on terminally ill patients and their families.

relation to provision of modern medical and veterinary services for the Southern Sudan. One class of traditional Dinka healers is a practical surgeon-bonesetter-obstetrician who practices (all but obstetrics) on both people and animals. His anatomical, physiological, and pathological knowledge and surmises, derived almost entirely from observations on cattle, are in some respects remarkable, especially those on the function of the kidney and nature of the circulatory system. He shares with ancient Egyptian healers the belief that sperm originate in the spinal cord and brain and performs a unique surgical operation on the horns of bulls that has been known in the Nile valley since the Egyptian 5th dynasty. With minimum training he might function effectively within the governmental health and veterinary services of the southern Sudan, an area populated mostly by transhumant cattle-culture peoples not easily reached through conventional health services. Although it has been recommended that traditional healers be incorporated as grassroots workers in community health programs in the southern Sudan, there is little knowledge of their medical or veterinary beliefs and practices. Taped interviews were used to elicit information on these topics from influential men of the Amothnhom clan of the Agar Dinka. The medical activities and knowledge of anatomy, diseases, and epidemiology of the class of healers known as atet, or specialists, are discussed. Most atet practice on cattle, goats, and people, and the range and effectiveness of their skills vary. Demand for their services arises mainly because of their surgical skills and obstetrical skills with animals. Medical atet usually learn their skills by observing their fathers or uncles. Their beliefs about human internal anatomy and physiology are apparently derived entirely by analogy from sacrificial dissection of cattle and goats. The Agar medical atet performs a range of useful manual skills on animals and people based on considerable practical knowledge of bovine anatomy and physiology and may also employ medicines to treat cattle diseases. It is concluded that their intelligence and willingness to acknowledge personal limitations of knowledge and skill equip them to be of great potential help in the delivery of primary health services to people and livestock in the Dinka areas of southern Sudan. Partial integration of the medical atet within the official veterinary and medical services could enhance their effectiveness and help solve the difficult problem of rural health care among pastoralist peoples.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252763"} {"pmid": "10252750", "title": "An effective information system for ambulatory surgery centers.", "content": "An effective information system for ambulatory surgery centers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252750"} {"pmid": "10252767", "title": "U.S. Appellate Permian decision suggests caution in voluntarily releasing confidential attorney communications.", "content": "U.S. Appellate Permian decision suggests caution in voluntarily releasing confidential attorney communications.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252767"} {"pmid": "10252765", "title": "Managing problem employees.", "content": "Managing problem employees.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252765"} {"pmid": "10252766", "title": "Will the next round of budget cuts affect hospital capital financing?", "content": "Will the next round of budget cuts affect hospital capital financing?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252766"} {"pmid": "10252757", "title": "Packaging.", "content": "Packaging.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252757"} {"pmid": "10252760", "title": "Ipswich Hospital.", "content": "Ipswich Hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252760"} {"pmid": "10252759", "title": "A case for factory-built laboratory structures.", "content": "A case for factory-built laboratory structures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252759"} {"pmid": "10252761", "title": "Design standards: Part 2.", "content": "Design standards: Part 2.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252761"} {"pmid": "10252758", "title": "A micro computer productivity management system.

Over the past decade in this country, there has been a rekindling of interest in the ethical questions of public policy. Moreover, the concern for ethical issues is nowhere more evident than in the field of health care. However, the ethical problems of health planning, particularly as practiced at the regional level, have scarcely received attention. This article explores the ethical dimensions of health planning and argues that health planners have not been adequately prepared, neither through their education nor through socialization in the profession, to deal with the complex ethical issues facing them. However, health planning theory can be enriched and practice improved if the ethical issues are confronted. Health planning is viewed as one means of achieving social justice because the benefits and burdens associated with health care are distributed to the members of society by the decisions made in the health planning process. However, planning decisions are not meekly accepted by the persons affected. More often than not, health planning decisions produce substantial political controversy, which is due, in part, to the planning methods commonly used. The synoptic or comprehensive planning approach avoids ethical questions by ignoring them. The incremental planning approach deals with them but only in terms of political process. Neither of these approaches is particularly useful for resolving health planning's ethical questions. The implications of these findings for education in health planning are discussed. The merits of the case study as a means of ethical education are presented.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252777"} {"pmid": "10252778", "title": "Objectives of recertification.", "content": "Objectives of recertification. Recertification of physician competency is a major topic of discussion and debate in the U.S.A. today. Nearly all graduates of U.S. medical schools are eventually certified by an approved American Medical Specialty Board. Since the mid-1970's all of these Specialty Boards have endorsed the concept of recertification. This paper defines what is meant by periodic assessment of physician competence, why such an assessment is becoming a reality, and the principles which should be followed in implementing a system for the periodic assessment of physician competency. The evaluation of physician competency is a task of enormous proportions when one recognizes the difficulty of reliably and validly measuring all aspects of the skill and abilities of the practicing physician. The evaluation of intellectual capabilities is feasible, but somewhat limited with regard to the spectrum of abilities expected of the physician. In the U.S.A., both the public and the medical profession have placed pressure on physicians to implement programs of recertification. Unlike most of the other professions, medicine has taken upon itself to develop and implement programs for recertification of the medical specialist. To develop recertification programs of value, they should meet certain standards. These include: the need for clear specification of the criteria by which qualification for recertification will be judged or measured; the need to attempt to coordinate programs of recertification with programs of continuing medical education; the need to design evaluation tools that accurately reflect the skills and abilities needed by the physician in the practice of the medical specialties; and the need to be certain that all who participate in such a program have the opportunity to successfully complete the program (that standards for passing tests be absolute rather than normative).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252778"} {"pmid": "10252779", "title": "Institutionalization of programs in medical education.", "content": "Institutionalization of programs in medical education. Through the use of questionnaires and interview schedules during extended site visits, sixteen programs training residents in non-family medicine primary care were studied to determine what factors contributed to program success -- known as \"institutionalization\" -- or to program failure. The findings revealed that programs were initiated for either philosophic or pragmatic money reasons. For programs to begin, to continue, and to be institutionalized was due to several contributing key factors. These included the resolution of programmatic differences in regard to goals; development of a substantive quality program; presence of forceful and respected leadership; tangible support of the administration and key academic departments; commitment of the teaching staff; anticipation of potential conflicts; participation of the involved lay and professional community; and the availability of some continued funding. The study also revealed that one program was a complete failure and had to be aborted because none of the key factors were present. The study concluded that the best way for institutionalization to occur is to assure that sound and comprehensive planning takes place. With thorough and anticipatory planning, the conditions essential to program institutionalization can be met more easily.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252779"} {"pmid": "10252781", "title": "Functional fiefdom, poverty model or individualism?

The United States national government has the power under the National Health Planning and Development Act of 1974 to establish and exercise legal control over a system of Health System Agencies, State Health Planning and Development Agencies, and State Health Coordinating Councils. Although the national government appears to have the legal powers necessary to direct and control the health planning process, a federal system has difficulties in the implementation of planning which has centralized goals or direction. The states and regions have the potential power to weaken the strength of the national government. Three trends in the developing relationship between the national, state, and regional units in health planning are discussed. The first, the functional fiefdom, consists of self-perpetuating, narrow purpose agencies which are not responsible to local or state-wide elected officials. These are professional bureaucracies which create and reinforce cozy relationships with supportive interest groups. The second trend, the poverty model, includes the lack of control by local elected officials, a large role to nongovernmental actors, and a direct relationship between Washington and the regional planning agencies. The last trend appears to be an individualistic one with every unit fending for itself. A case study of Massachusetts along with supplemental materials from other states is presented to illustrate the trends.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252781"} {"pmid": "10252780", "title": "Voluntary certification and the uniform guidelines on selection procedures: a potential problem for personnel managers.", "content": "Voluntary certification and the uniform guidelines on selection procedures: a potential problem for personnel managers. Employers in health care sometimes rely upon various standardized testing procedures in selecting, promoting, and training personnel. Within the health professions, voluntary certification programs have developed to permit individuals to demonstrate competence and become recognized as qualified practitioners. This article addresses the problems which can occur, but are not widely recognized, when employers use voluntary certification examinations in the selection process. The impact of the federal government's \"Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures\" upon voluntary certification activities is uncertain at best, and frightening, at worst. While the Guidelines require employers to use only validated examinations where adverse impact upon protected minority groups exists, they do not effectively address the use of professional certifying examinations and fail to provide guidance for either certifying agencies or employers. This leaves great potential for conflict, since circumstances in which employment is terminated, an employee denied promotion, or even denied opportunities for entry into positions based on an employer's use of voluntary certifying examinations, are increasing daily. How does an employer validate a national certifying examination that he does not administer? How does the certifying agency protect itself from allegations of discrimination or anti-trust violations based on actions of an employer with whom the agency has no contact? This article offers no answers to these troublesome questions. However, it may help eliminate another problem noted by the author--widespread ignorance of the seriousness of these circumstances for employers and certifying agencies. From first-hand experience and research into the development of the Uniform Guidelines, the author points out many of the difficulties which await those who rely on non-validated examinations or choose to ignore the government's edict that examinations used in selection must have a demonstrated relationship to the job. Finally, the article proposes solutions to the dilemma faced by certifying organizations and suggests that, by becoming more aware of the Uniform Guidelines, employers and testing groups have the opportunity to protect themselves before a problem occurs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252780"} {"pmid": "10252783", "title": "Selected national economic indicators.", "content": "Selected national economic indicators.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252783"} {"pmid": "10252782", "title": "The organization and management of medical education in Australia.", "content": "The organization and management of medical education in Australia.

To test this possibility, data were collected from a sample of 161 hospital professional and support personnel. It was hypothesized that the negative effects of role ambiguity and conflict on satisfaction and performance would be attenuated by high self-esteem at lower organizational levels.

Historically, humanity has assigned death to evil spirits, malevolent gods, and other supernatural agents; but by the eighteenth century, the scientific spirit began to manifest itself through more precise biologic definitions of death. Thanks to modern medical technology, these early scientific views, with their considerable margin for error, gave way in the twentieth century to criteria based on such diverse factors as total lack of response to external stimuli, absence of spontaneous muscular movements, absence of all reflexes, total collapse of the arterial blood pressure, flat electrocardiogram, and flat electroencephalograph tracings. Undoubtedly such difficult matters as organ transplants, wills, homicide, euthanasia, and abortion demand precise definitions of death; but modern medical advances have engendered visions of physical immortality with doctors as the arbiters who often define and determine death. Even so, such one-dimensional, scientific views fail to capture those nebulous social, religious, or spiritual definitions that pervade humanity's definition of death. Humanistic views of death resist the movement of death from the moral realm to a technological order that places people in a system, theory, or chart, where they are thus absolved from fear of freedom. Rather, humanistic definitions demand that humanity step beyond mechanistic definitions of death into a transcendent world of moral choices that guarantee human dignity and worth by ascribing meaning to life and death. These meanings counter the desiccating fear that something like biologic human might, through something called medical technology, defeat something called fate.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252991"} {"pmid": "10252994", "title": "Where is the real priority in trauma?", "content": "Where is the real priority in trauma?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252994"} {"pmid": "10252993", "title": "Video variety at the Kettering Medical Center.", "content": "Video variety at the Kettering Medical Center.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252993"} {"pmid": "10252995", "title": "Copter use in trauma transporting is on the rise.", "content": "Copter use in trauma transporting is on the rise.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10252995"} {"pmid": "10252992", "title": "Staff support group on a cancer ward: a pilot project.", "content": "Staff support group on a cancer ward: a pilot project.

Available studies reveal alarming rates of substance and medication abuse among older adults. Professionals addressing the substance and medication abuse problems of seniors have argued for a move to medication monitoring in the home. At present, however, there has been only scattered evidence to support the contention that adequate medication monitoring actually occurs. The present study reports two surveys of all home care agencies in the state of Michigan. The first study reports the medication monitoring practices of home care staff. The second study examines possible medication monitoring interventions that might be implemented in home care agencies. Those medication monitoring interventions with the highest likelihood of successful implementation among home care staff are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253108"} {"pmid": "10253103", "title": "What is the administrator's responsibility in management of the hospital new function?", "content": "What is the administrator's responsibility in management of the hospital new function?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253103"} {"pmid": "10253109", "title": "Role strain in hospice nursing.", "content": "Role strain in hospice nursing.

The liaison model is seen as providing a solution to service delivery problems by acting as an adjunctive agency providing broadly based referral and linking services between agencies in the community.

Subsequently 28 trainees in three separate groups participated in the training program; they represented 20 agencies and included directors, training coordinators, supervisory staff, and direct service workers. Methods employed were satisfaction measures, content retention measures, and interviews to evaluate program impact. Participants reported that they increased their knowledge and were satisfied with training, but that the program was only modestly effective in contributing to changes in their job and agency functioning.

For the most part, long-term care facilities operate in a negotiated rate environment. Under Public Law 92-603, these facilities are compensated for rendering care to Medicaid patients on a \"cost-related\" reimbursement formula. Therefore, there is a limit on the ability of the owners of these facilities to pass increased costs for their services on to the consumer on a current basis, as is done in most other industries. The owners attempt to negotiate an annual rate based on anticipated increased costs of operation, and then normally have to live with the rate for the remainder of the year. In some cases the increased costs exceed the increase in the negotiated rate on an annual basis. Since there is, in effect, a lid on the revenue per patient, the opportunities to increase net income are limited either to reducing costs, or increasing the number of patients served in the facility. In this industrial setting, it would be particularly meaningful to the owner of a facility to be aware of the profitability of the operation at different occupancy levels. Also, the feasibility of expanding his facility should perhaps be explored to determine the impact of an expansion on net income retention. Break-even analysis can be employed to help address these issues. In this paper, the author briefly discusses break-even analysis as a management tool and develops a model to illustrate and apply the analysis of a long-term care facility.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253191"} {"pmid": "10253192", "title": "Capital maintenance and equity erosion in the nursing home industry: a study in one state.", "content": "Capital maintenance and equity erosion in the nursing home industry: a study in one state. Federal contingencies charge states to regulate the reimbursement of the nursing home industry such that government reimbursement is at a minimal cost that reflects efficient operations, yet at amounts great enough to allow viability and ability to attract and maintain the investment of capital. This study discusses the regulation of the nursing home industry in terms of the significance and costs of financial capital, and the constraints imposed upon states as regulators of capital reimbursement policies. Descriptive financial profiles of nursing homes are provided in one state where the industry alleges inadequacies in the capital reimbursement formula. These financial profiles suggest that the nursing homes investigated have not been able to provide for capital maintenance; instead, the industry may be suffering from equity erosion.

Conservation of energy resources through total energy management programs is receiving considerable attention in the health services sector. Although the total energy management concept has been favorably implemented in hospitals, the record is not entirely clear for other health care institutions. Thirty-one Arizona and 37 Minnesota long-term care facilities were surveyed to examine the attitudes, knowledge and practice of energy management in the nursing home context. Specific questions were directed toward average monthly energy costs, energy consumption, energy conservation methods implemented, energy conservation methods planned for future implementation, and administrator attitudes on the energy management problem. The results of this study indicate that energy is not perceived to be a major problem in long-term care facilities. Administrators generally lack basic knowledge about energy consumption and energy-related characteristics of their facilities. Few long-range plans and programs have been established to address energy problems.

In this study, four general purpose radiographic films (Agfa Gevaert Curix RP-1, duPont Cronex 4, Fuji RX, and Kodak XRP-1) were compared using three independent techniques. By examining the characteristic curves for the four films, film speed and contrast were compared over the diagnostically useful density range. These curves were generated using three methods: (1) irradiation of a standard film cassette lined with high-speed screens, covered by a twelve-step aluminum wedge; (2) direct exposure of film strips to an electro-luminescent sensitometer; and (3) direct irradiation of a standard film cassette lined with high-speed screens. The latter technique provided quantitative values for film speed and relative contrast. All three techniques provided virtually properly identical results and indicate that under properly controlled conditions simplified methods of film testing can give results equivalent to those obtained by more sophisticated techniques.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253292"} {"pmid": "10253294", "title": "The role of the radiology manager in the VE.", "content": "The role of the radiology manager in the VE.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253294"} {"pmid": "10253295", "title": "Something new: a radiology policies and procedures outline guide.", "content": "Something new: a radiology policies and procedures outline guide.

Throughout the summer of 1980, much of the nation suffered record-breaking, sustained hot and often humid weather. In cities throughout the country, the oppressive heat often led to crisis situations, and emergency procedures were hastily developed to provide shelter and medical assistance. The heat wave of 1980 was particularly severe in St. Louis, Missouri. On July 17, hospital visits and admissions related to the heat reached a peak of 54 cases. Death rates soared. During the period from June 21 to July 28, the number of deaths in St. Louis rose by 40.6 percent--from 864 deaths in 1979 to 1,215 in the same period in 1980--with the heaviest toll among the poor and elderly. Heat waves of significant medical and social implications are not new to St. Louis. Indeed, conditions similar to 1980 have occurred ten times since 1911, with the most recent heat wave prior to 1980 occurring in 1966. The long periods between crises have caused medical and social planners to neglect or overlook preparations for heat-related illness.

A standard client satisfaction questionnaire (CSQ) was modified to yield parallel forms and was administered orally and in writing to 92 clients in two mental health day treatment programs. Satisfaction ratings obtained from these clients were quite similar to out-patient ratings obtained in previous studies conducted in this setting and using the same measures. Oral administration of the CSQ produced 10% higher satisfaction ratings than written administration (p less than .05) and less missing data (p less than .01). Satisfaction ratings were also obtained using a simple graphic instrument. Graphic ratings were comparable to CSQ ratings. Satisfaction with life in general and level of psychiatric symptoms together accounted for 25% of CSQ variance. The implication of these findings for future client satisfaction research is discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253404"} {"pmid": "10253393", "title": "Methodist Hospital automates dictation.", "content": "Methodist Hospital automates dictation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253393"} {"pmid": "10253405", "title": "\"Transcendental\" labor worries?", "content": "\"Transcendental\" labor worries?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253405"} {"pmid": "10253406", "title": "Perseverance or pigheadedness?", "content": "Perseverance or pigheadedness?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253406"} {"pmid": "10253410", "title": "The risky business of quality care.", "content": "The risky business of quality care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253410"} {"pmid": "10253408", "title": "Influencing the training of nurses.", "content": "Influencing the training of nurses.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253408"} {"pmid": "10253409", "title": "A total approach to hospital budgeting and financial planning.", "content": "A total approach to hospital budgeting and financial planning.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253409"} {"pmid": "10253412", "title": "Learning about labor relations.", "content": "Learning about labor relations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253412"} {"pmid": "10253411", "title": "New directions for community hospitals: occupational and preventive healthcare.", "content": "New directions for community hospitals: occupational and preventive healthcare.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253411"} {"pmid": "10253413", "title": "There's no nurse shortage at Saint Joseph Medical Center.", "content": "There's no nurse shortage at Saint Joseph Medical Center.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253413"} {"pmid": "10253415", "title": "Waiting lists: where does the time go?", "content": "Waiting lists: where does the time go?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253415"} {"pmid": "10253414", "title": "Hospital closure; dismantling with care.", "content": "Hospital closure; dismantling with care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253414"} {"pmid": "10253416", "title": "Product profile: more than a wound dressing.", "content": "Product profile: more than a wound dressing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253416"} {"pmid": "10253417", "title": "Patient finance: how to pay patients.", "content": "Patient finance: how to pay patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253417"} {"pmid": "10253418", "title": "Waiting lists: a test of stamina.", "content": "Waiting lists: a test of stamina.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253418"} {"pmid": "10253420", "title": "Northern Ireland: high rise hospital.", "content": "Northern Ireland: high rise hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253420"} {"pmid": "10253419", "title": "The flying wardens.", "content": "The flying wardens.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253419"} {"pmid": "10253421", "title": "NHS spending: maximizing resources.", "content": "NHS spending: maximizing resources.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253421"} {"pmid": "10253422", "title": "Nurse management: the essential link.", "content": "Nurse management: the essential link.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253422"} {"pmid": "10253423", "title": "Is group purchasing always best?", "content": "Is group purchasing always best?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253423"} {"pmid": "10253424", "title": "Hospital purchasing in the era of the corporate takeover.", "content": "Hospital purchasing in the era of the corporate takeover.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253424"} {"pmid": "10253425", "title": "Budgeting techniques for materials managers.", "content": "Budgeting techniques for materials managers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253425"} {"pmid": "10253426", "title": "Can group purchasing survive the 1980's?

health delivery systems of India and China. The medical systems which most of the developing countries have, are ad hoc adoptions inherited from their colonial masters and have met with little success in making health planning as part of their national planning. Very few countries have been able to overcome the resistance of the medical profession and the bureaucratic inertia which is a major obstacle in the transformation of this system to a broad based social service and integrating it with the process of socio-economic development planning. The adoption of this system by developing countries is a typical example of technological misfit. A cheap and labour intensive model for developing countries shall be a proper solution for the development of a health care delivery system for the masses. A solution to this problem is a mix or hybrid of the traditional and modern medicines which very recently have been exploited both in India and China. How far India and China have been successful and what is needed to be done is the subject matter of this paper. The medical systems of most developing countries are ad hoc adoptions inherited from the colonial period and have met with little success in making health planning a part of national planning. Few countries have been able to overcome the resistance of the medical profession, and bureaucratic inertia is a major obstacle to creation of a broad based social service integrated into the socioeconomic development process.

Two experimental studies were run to test the effects of subordinate impression management on the appraisals and responses of a manager, following an incident of poor performance. Two common impression management tactics, accounts and apologies, were manipulated in each of the studies. Subjects in both studies were experienced nursing supervisors. On the basis of the \"discounting effect\" reported in the attributional literature it was hypothesized that accounts of external causes for poor performance, i.e., excuses, would lead subjects to (1) attribute less responsibility to the subordinate, (2) be less personal in their responses, and (3) be less punitive in their responses. Apologies, because of their \"equity restoration\" effects, were expected to influence subjects' disciplinary responses to the poor performance, without necessarily affecting their attributions of responsibility. Experiment 1. which employed written stimulus materials and a repeated-measures design, provided strong support for all hypotheses. Experiment 2. which employed a film stimulus and between-subjects design, provided strong support for the accounts hypotheses but only minimal support for the apology hypotheses.

On November 19, 1980, the Agency published an interim final rule which expanded the scope of the provision to include generators who treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste on-site. The final rule published today retains this change. As a result of public comments, the Agency is making several changes to the interim final rule. These changes (1) Clarify that the provision is applicable to all generators, including those who accumulate hazardous waste for the purpose of use, reuse, recycling and reclamation, (2) remove the requirement for use of DOT containers, (3) revise the labelling and marking requirements for wastes accumulated in containers and tanks; and (4) allow an extension to the 90-day accumulation limit in certain circumstances.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253707"} {"pmid": "10253708", "title": "Cooperative care unit cuts costs 40% at NYU hospital.", "content": "Cooperative care unit cuts costs 40% at NYU hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253708"} {"pmid": "10253709", "title": "Iowa firms team up to trim hospital costs.", "content": "Iowa firms team up to trim hospital costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253709"} {"pmid": "10253711", "title": "Small Illinois city proving it can beat big health costs.", "content": "Small Illinois city proving it can beat big health costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253711"} {"pmid": "10253710", "title": "Girl may get $13 million in claim against hospital.", "content": "Girl may get $13 million in claim against hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253710"} {"pmid": "10253712", "title": "The past, present and future of Canadian medical technology.", "content": "The past, present and future of Canadian medical technology.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253712"} {"pmid": "10253713", "title": "The Workload Recording Method for the clinical laboratory--a dynamic and ever (continually) evolving system.

For example, clinical non-distributive interactions with professionals (other than physicians or nurses) and attendance at pharmacy educational functions, accounted for the largest portion of clinical time. Most of the patient encounters that did occur consisted of the indirect activity of chart review, instead of the more direct-discharge interviews, allergy verifications, and medication histories, it was apparent from the log sheet results that there was an individual prioritization of clinical activities by the Sunnybrook pharmacists.

Hospital Pharmacy visibility to the lay public, a need expressed by several prominent practitioners, has been addressed by the production of a Pharmacy Services Brochure which helps to educate in-patients about our many programs. Lastly the attempt by several colleagues to evaluate the profession's clinical impact by means of a quality assurance program illustrates the difficult task ahead of us if we are to indeed demonstrate an improved patient care program through our efforts.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253750"} {"pmid": "10253781", "title": "Northern Ireland: ring of steel.", "content": "Northern Ireland: ring of steel.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253781"} {"pmid": "10253784", "title": "Using inter-group training methods to break down barriers.", "content": "Using inter-group training methods to break down barriers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253784"} {"pmid": "10253785", "title": "Restructuring: some considerations.", "content": "Restructuring: some considerations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253785"} {"pmid": "10253756", "title": "The rise of emergency medicine.", "content": "The rise of emergency medicine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253756"} {"pmid": "10253786", "title": "Can group purchasing survive the 1980's?

But they do suffer on the second count because, if expected to grow, they need to finance asset replacement and growth. In these days when funds for long-term debt are becoming scarcer, this author asserts, the need for regulators to allow 'nonprofits' to keep a surplus is increasing.

Burnout has affected a significant number of professionals in research and in clinical practice. The Marxian theory of alienation is insufficient to account for the phenomenon among professional workers. A critical factor in professional alienation is, paradoxically, the very factor which distinguishes the professional from the layman, namely the reliance on method and concept to develop knowledge. The alienating character of professional method may be observed in varying degrees in all human service professions. Method alienates the professional from the subject matter of interest, and to some degree from his or her own perceptions and interests. In the course of attempting to solve problems, too often the emphasis changes from understanding the substantive problem to checking and correcting artifacts of method, losing the focus on the original substantive problem, as the work turns in on itself. The cure requires professional social support for studies better suited to illuminate the human condition and to enlighten and intrigue the professional worker.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253873"} {"pmid": "10253875", "title": "A critical look at the new ambulance specifications.", "content": "A critical look at the new ambulance specifications.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10253875"} {"pmid": "10253874", "title": "Provision of mental health services during a disaster: the Cuban immigration of 1980.", "content": "Provision of mental health services during a disaster: the Cuban immigration of 1980.

These seven Centers are located in Hot Springs, Arkansas; Warm Spring, Georgia; Thelma, Kentucky; Baltimore, Maryland; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Institute, West Virginia; and Fisherville, Virginia. This paper is a result of a study which was conducted from October 1978 to May 1979. The study showed that each of the Centers provided recreation and leisure activities: however, none of the Centers utilized therapeutic recreation as the title of their specific department. In general, the Centers have difficulties in the following areas: 1. defining therapeutic recreation; 2. structuring their department; 3. delivery of therapeutic recreation services; 4. conception of therapeutic recreation as part of the rehabilitation process; 5. inadequately trained personnel in leadership and supervisory positions; 6. staff training; 7. assessment and evaluation instruments for clients; 8. discharge planning; and 9. recreation therapy as a treatment component within the delivery of therapeutic recreation services, All of which need resolution. The research demonstrated that most of the recreation directors saw a need for therapeutic recreation services to be refined further to meet the needs and abilities of the clients.", "url":

The women were interviewed about their BSE practices and variables that may have influenced their BSE behavior. Those reporting prior BSE practice were asked to demonstrate their breast examination to a trained nurse, who rated their performance against a set of standard criteria. Although it might be assumed that these women have had more opportunity to become educated about BSE, results showed the ratings of the women's performances were uniformly poor. Less than half reported having formal instruction by a medical professional. This is of particular consequence considering that those women taught by a doctor or nurse performed significantly more BSE steps than did those taught in other ways. Women who were encouraged to do BSE by friends or relatives also performed significantly more steps. Based on the study findings, specific recommendations are made, which can be applied to the improvement of BSE educational programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254297"} {"pmid": "10254298", "title": "Helping hypertensive clients help themselves: the nurse's role.", "content": "Helping hypertensive clients help themselves: the nurse's role.

Health professionals must deal with the use of touch in some way, even if their final decision is not to use it. Health professionals were interviewed about personal touch as a part of their professional relationships with patients. Even though the subjects using touch differed in health professions and primary theoretical orientations, a commonality was the belief in a strong person-to-person relationship as an integral part of the helping process. Instruction concerning touch appears to be inconsistent in the curricula of health-professional schools. Thus sensitivity to the use of touch is more likely to develop through professional experience. Touch is more likely to be used in a fee-for-service, private practice setting. The part of the body most likely to be touched is a hand, and possible sexual misinterpretation of touch is best dealt with openly and at once.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254299"} {"pmid": "10254300", "title": "Relationship between health locus of control and belief in the relevance of lifestyle to health.", "content": "Relationship between health locus of control and belief in the relevance of lifestyle to health.

Evidence is presented for the construct validity of the Index of Salience, and the reasons for the low correlations found are discussed. Because the internal HLC scale, in particular, fails to distinguish between health maintenance and illness behavior and between individual behavior and behaviors involving professionals, the value of the MHLC scales in predicting the specific forms that preventive health behavior will take is weakened.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254300"} {"pmid": "10254302", "title": "Physiotherapy: art or science?", "content": "Physiotherapy: art or science?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254302"} {"pmid": "10254306", "title": "Health policy studies at the School for Advanced Urban Studies, University of Bristol.", "content": "Health policy studies at the School for Advanced Urban Studies, University of Bristol.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254306"} {"pmid": "10254305", "title": "Graduate training in health economics at the University of York.", "content": "Graduate training in health economics at the University of York.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254305"} {"pmid": "10254307", "title": "Education and training for community medicine.", "content": "Education and training for community medicine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254307"} {"pmid": "10254304", "title": "The work of the health services organisation research unit, Brunel University.", "content": "The work of the health services organisation research unit, Brunel University.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254304"} {"pmid": "10254313", "title": "Active strategies for combating stress.", "content": "Active strategies for combating stress.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254313"} {"pmid": "10254308", "title": "The Institute for Health Studies, University of Hull.", "content": "The Institute for Health Studies, University of Hull.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254308"} {"pmid": "10254314", "title": "Perinatal coaching--a new beginning.", "content": "Perinatal coaching--a new beginning.

Using a newly developed interaction analysis instrument, the study examined four scales-rapport, patient health beliefs, therapeutic regimen, and patient feedback-and two additional categories-quality of explanation of medical regimen and sensitivity to patient modesty. Findings in the analysis of patient-doctor interactions were compared to variables of patient understanding and physician perception of the interview. Patient charts were also examined to determine diagnosis, prescribed medical regimen, and follow-through on return appointments. In analyzing the patient-doctor interactions, the interview raters perceived physicians as performing significantly better on the dimensions of rapport, quality of medical regimen explanation, and ability to elicit patient feedback with the non-Hispanic and English-language patients than with the Hispanic and Spanish-speaking patients. Also, the interaction of factors of language, translator and ethnicity appeared to have a highly significant influence on whether the medication prescriptions were understood by the patient.

The provisions are designed to eliminate some unintended and harsh effects of the limitations on the use of the monthly earnings test imposed by the Social Security Amendments of 1977. Section 1 permits the use of the monthly earnings test by those beneficiaries entitled to child's benefits, young wife's and young husband's benefits (entitled only by reason of having an entitled child in their care) or mother's and father's benefits, in the year that entitlement terminates, if termination is for a reason other than death and the beneficiary is not entitled to another type of Social Security benefit for the month following the month of termination. Section 3 excludes from gross income, for purposes of the annual earnings test, self-employment income which is received in a year after the initial year of entitlement to insurance benefits under title II (other than disability benefits and childhood disability benefits) and is not attributable to services performed after the month of entitlement. Section 4 provides for all beneficiaries the use of the monthly earnings test in the first taxable year after 1977 in which a beneficiary has a non-service month in or after the month of entitlement to benefits.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254374"} {"pmid": "10254375", "title": "Private land mobile radio services; amendment of the Commission's rules concerning general eligibility in the industrial radio services: Federal Communications Commission.

in Michigan. The results of a comprehensive statewide survey of hospital pharmacy technicians are presented. Although this was only a statewide survey, its findings should be of interest to technicians and pharmacists everywhere since very few data of this type are available. In addition, Michigan is a very progressive pharmacy state and has recently implemented a formal technician certification process (described in an appendix) via the Michigan Pharmacists' Association. The survey instrument was mailed to the Directors of Pharmacy at 252 Michigan hospitals. The response rate was 68.7% (173) hospitals). The survey pointed out that Michigan hospitals employ on the average one technician for each pharmacist. Most hospitals required high school graduation and typing skills as a minimum for hiring of a technician. Numerous technician work responsibilities were identified, including the admixture of sterile products. Technicians in this survey had a variable work schedule, and the future job market appeared to be healthy. Most of the technicians were females under the age of 30. Average hourly wages for regular technician position ranged from $5.05 to $6.25 (June 1981). Numerous categories of technicians were noted, and about 20% of the technicians were unionized. Many of the hospitals utilized a formal on-the-job technician training program. The performance of the majority of technicians was evaluated annually, and many opportunities existed for continuing education. The concept of technician certification appeared to be looked upon favorably by most of the pharmacy directors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254549"} {"pmid": "10254550", "title": "Classic adornments.", "content": "Classic adornments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254550"} {"pmid": "10254552", "title": "Computer use and educational needs in selected Canadian health care food services.", "content": "Computer use and educational needs in selected Canadian health care food services.

A larger, conveyorized infrared oven (CTX-70) and a smaller, infrared unit (Krups 2002) were used to heat process varying sizes of oven loads which ranged from one to 36 slices. Although no significant differences were found for product yield after 12, 24 and 36 slices were heat processed in the CTX-70, the energy usage was significantly different: 637, 798 and 1005 watt hours/load were consumed, respectively. In the Krups 2002, a load of one slice had greater heat processing losses than either two or four slices. Energy consumption was 39, 47 and 50 watt hours/load to heat process one, two and four slices in the Krups 2002, respectively. Significantly more energy was used to heat process turkey-ham than egg sandwich loaf in the Krups 2002.

In the first of a two-part article, the author explains how a pathologist's administrative role differs from his role as a physician, reviews briefly the different management styles, and discusses important management tools the laboratory director needs to organize and operate a laboratory.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254623"} {"pmid": "10254624", "title": "The pregnancy disability amendment: what the law provides: part I.", "content": "The pregnancy disability amendment: what the law provides: part I.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254624"} {"pmid": "10254625", "title": "The pregnancy disability amendment: what the law provides, part II.", "content": "The pregnancy disability amendment: what the law provides, part II.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254625"} {"pmid": "10254626", "title": "OSHA final rule gives employees the right to see their exposure and medical records.", "content": "OSHA final rule gives employees the right to see their exposure and medical records.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254626"} {"pmid": "10254627", "title": "Why home health care is an expanding trend.", "content": "Why home health care is an expanding trend.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254627"} {"pmid": "10254630", "title": "Part one: what new Rx services are provided in long-term care facilities?", "content": "Part one: what new Rx services are provided in long-term care facilities?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254630"} {"pmid": "10254629", "title": "How we provide poison prevention ideas to new parents.", "content": "How we provide poison prevention ideas to new parents.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254629"} {"pmid": "10254628", "title": "How pharmacies in rehabilitation hospitals are moving ahead.", "content": "How pharmacies in rehabilitation hospitals are moving ahead.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254628"} {"pmid": "10254631", "title": "565 students have participated in NPC-SAPHA summer internship program.", "content": "565 students have participated in NPC-SAPHA summer internship program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254631"} {"pmid": "10254632", "title": "How to develop aids to professional practice: an information system.", "content": "How to develop aids to professional practice: an information system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254632"} {"pmid": "10254636", "title": "Proper staffing of an occupational safety and health office.", "content": "Proper staffing of an occupational safety and health office.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254636"} {"pmid": "10254637", "title": "Paperless claims make third-party payments a pleasure.", "content": "Paperless claims make third-party payments a pleasure.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254637"} {"pmid": "10254638", "title": "Patient noncompliance.", "content": "Patient noncompliance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254638"} {"pmid": "10254639", "title": "Equipment leasing proves economical option.", "content": "Equipment leasing proves economical option.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254639"} {"pmid": "10254640", "title": "Cures that kill.", "content": "Cures that kill.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254640"} {"pmid": "10254633", "title": "The little hospital that could: a modest success story.", "content": "The little hospital that could: a modest success story.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254633"} {"pmid": "10254642", "title": "Employment and mental hospitalization: the case of Buffalo, New York, 1914-55.", "content": "Employment and mental hospitalization: the case of Buffalo, New York, 1914-55. This paper explores the connection between employment trends and state mental hospital admissions first presented by Brenner in Mental Illness and the Economy. The analysis is based on employment data for the Buffalo SMSA and admissions to the SMSAs only major public psychiatric hospital for the years 1914 to 1955. We employ a series of specifications in time-series analyses. Our findings contrast with Brenner's; unlike his analysis, ours indicates that employment is positively related to admissions. Consistent with other previous research, hospital capacity is also found to be important in predicting admissions.

The Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP) provides Federal reimbursement to States for 100 percent of the costs of cash and medical assistance provided, during the first 36 months after entry into the United States, to such refugees in accordance with applicable program rules and requirements and the administrative costs of providing such assistance. Cash assistance provided to such refugees under the RRP is termed \"refugee cash assistance\" (RCA); and medical assistance provided to such refugees under the RRP is termed \"refugee medical assistance\" (RMA). This regulation permits 100 percent Federal reimbursement for RCA and RMA for an eligible refugee for the first 18 months that a refugee is in the United States.

A discriminant analysis of 228 residents from three nursing homes revealed that among the 103 young-old subjects poor subjective health, poor functional ability, poor social support, and extended stays in the facilities were indicative of high death anxiety. Among the 125 old-old subjects, high death anxiety was associated with poor subjective health, poor functional ability, and higher educational attainment. Further, it was found that age was an important variable. A significantly greater proportion of the older residents compared to the younger residents had higher conscious death anxiety.

The attitudes of a random sample of Cleveland clergy toward the experience of terminal illness and the circumstances justifying euthanasia are presented and analyzed. The clergy response patterns revealed that, although eager to prolong life as long as possible, terminally ill patients fear a prolonged period of illness more than death itself. They also agreed that most patients favor the disclosure of terminal illness. The clergy's response to a questionnaire exhibited a definite ranking (i.e., scaling) in the order of priority of the different circumstances justifying passive euthanasia. Using training in death counseling as a control variable produced sharper division in the response categories for each statement. The controversial nature of euthanasia and the problem of ascertaining the psychological needs of the terminally ill became more apparent with the group who had more training in death counseling. Interpretations of the findings are presented, and a need for a careful reexamination of the effects of death education on attitudes toward controversial subjects in death and dying is stressed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254758"} {"pmid": "10254761", "title": "Health advisory services and the immigrant.", "content": "Health advisory services and the immigrant.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254761"} {"pmid": "10254762", "title": "Health indicators: what are they?

Subjects in a nonrandom sample of 15 NPs and 11 MDs independently described their proposed management of two pediatric and two adult hypothetical cases. NP and MD responses were compared to identify differences in the inclusion of explicit process criteria items in the following categories: problem assessment, diagnostic plan, therapeutic plan, health education, follow-up. The differences between NPs and MDs were almost entirely in the NPs' more frequent inclusion of expressive \"caring\" functions which have traditionally been the focus of nursing practice.

Discusses successful methodologies for obtaining high quality evaluative research on health lifestyle change programs, an increasingly important research area. Failure to ask the right evaluative research questions and problems of research design are identified as 2 major reasons for the dearth of well controlled, interpretable evaluations in this area. 13 issues of research design that need to be considered if interpretable answers are to be obtained are identified and discussed. These include: 1) decisions on whether to use formative or summative evaluation, 2) the nature of the target population, 3) the nature of control conditions, 4) the difficulties of randomization, 5) the unit of selection, assignment and analysis, 6) the breakdown of designs, 7) the problem of individualized versus standardized treatment, 8) complex treatment procedures, 9) the use of intensive assessment (assessment as part of the treatment), 10) the reactive effects of pretests, 11) complex outcomes, 12) the long term effects, and 13) attrition. Solutions to these problems and design recommendations include: 1) separation of formative and summative research, 2) use of randomized experiments whenever possible, 3) more careful consideration to choice of control or comparison conditions, 4) greater use of preocedures to keep subjects, program providers, and data collectors blind to the condition the subject is in, 5) statistically equivalent or comparable treatment and control groups, 6) use of hierarchial analysis strategies, 7) use of quasi experimental designs when randomization cannot be accomplished, 8) awareness of possible unintended changes to the design, 9) use of standardized treatment or standardized versions, evaluated in a randomized experiment, 10) regarding multiple components in a treatment as interdependent (curriculum package), 11) asking if pretesting and ongoing assessment is regarded as part of the treatment, 12) measurement of outcomes at multiple levels in a hypothesized causal chain of influence, 13) follow up observations over long periods, and 14) use of a blocked design to cope with the attrition likely to occur from control groups at longer follow up periods.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254764"} {"pmid": "10254756", "title": "Education staff takes learning to the worksite.", "content": "Education staff takes learning to the worksite.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10254756"} {"pmid": "10254765", "title": "Methodological factors in studying medical graduates: a review of six internship performance studies.", "content": "Methodological factors in studying medical graduates: a review of six internship performance studies.

Enhanced programs in the computerized pharmacy management system were developed to include a mechanism for recording reasons why doses were missing and a method of documenting extra doses dispensed to the patient, while capturing current costs for these drugs. The system permits simple data entry which allows uninterrupted processing. The reports generated by the system are used to inform physicians of dosage problems of patients and to act as an educational aid in correcting a source of medication errors.

Seventeen community hospitals within the 16 division of the Sisters of Mercy Health Corporation cooperatively participated in a medication allergy audit program. Initial and follow-up audits were conducted at each hospital to determine whether allergy information for penicillin- or aspirin-sensitive patients was appropriately communicated to the pharmacist. A total of 483 patient records were reviewed during each audit which corresponded to 12% of each hospital's average patient census. In the initial audit, the overall acceptance rate for the combined hospitals was 62.3%. Following the first audit, each hospital undertook corrective follow-up measures in an attempt to improve its results. In the second audit, the overall acceptance rate improved significantly to 78.9%. It is concluded that this auditing process followed by corrective follow-up measures was an effective mechanism for improving the communication of patient allergy information and is a means to quality assurance.

The survey included demographic information and task inventory in four areas: (a) indirect service and program preparation or planning, (b) evaluation, (c) intervention programs, and (d) adaptive equipment and material. The purpose of the survey was to identify the roles, functions, and competencies performed by music therapy personnel; responses should not be interpreted as tasks that should be practiced. Each of the 157 survey items was analyzed via descriptive statistics, a two-way frequency analysis, and factor analysis.

All sectors of the economy have been suffering from the current inflationary environment. In some businesses, such as health care, costs have increased more than thought possible in the past. Since hospitals are labor intensive, they have been drastically affected by the push toward higher pay and the often hidden cost of fringe benefits. It is not surprising, therefore, that in seeking relief from the cost, hospitals will examine a method which removes a large part of the salary burden from their budgets: conversion of hospital-based salaried physicians to private, fee-for-service groups. The first article in this two-part series, which appeared in Medical Group Management, November/December 1981, examined the financial and legal aspects of the conversion.

Under these requirements, owners or operators must demonstrate liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage to third parties resulting from facility operations. The major revisions are: addition of the option of a financial test as a means of demonstrating liability coverage to satisfy the requirements; addition of the option of submitting a certificate of insurance as evidence of insurance; and changes in the requirements for the endorsement and certificate. In a future document, EPA will propose to delete two provisions of the January 12, 1981 regulations. These provisions are: the procedure to obtain a variance for liability coverage requirements; and the provision allowing an owner or operator to use State assumption of legal responsibility for liability coverage to satisfy the liability requirements.

This paper investigates client and service characteristics that differentiate placement recommendations in two groups of elderly who are vulnerable to institutionalization--community residents who have applied for nursing homes and acute care patients who were viewed as likely candidates for long term care facilities. The two groups differ considerably on measures of physical and mental well-being as well as service need and availability. The community applicants were in poorer overall condition except with respect to medical requirements. A separate discriminant analysis of placement recommendations (long term care institution versus community) was carried out for each group using the client and service need characteristics as the discriminating factors. The results suggested that some factors such as family care and ADL skills and requirements are important predictors of placement recommendations in both groups, but there were also a number of unique elements in each function.

Home health managers are under increasing pressure to look at the operations of their agencies with critical eyes to determine whether they are providing the best quality services in the most efficient manner. A primary objective in this agency review is to increase the visit time available while satisfactorily performing the necessary maintenance and administrative services. Because nurses comprise a large portion of agency budgets, a useful starting point is nurses' productivity. An approach is presented which sequentially breaks down nursing time into a number of components. At each step, the resulting figures can be examined to evaluate the existence and nature of problems. Within an agency, this approach allows agencies to identify problems and suggest options for change. In inter-agency comparisons, differences in agency policy which affect productivity are made explicit, making the comparisons more useful. Three measures are also presented to evaluate aspects of overall agency productivity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255198"} {"pmid": "10255201", "title": "The stand-alone system that will come together.", "content": "The stand-alone system that will come together.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255201"} {"pmid": "10255200", "title": "Computers: the focus is on the patient.", "content": "Computers: the focus is on the patient.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255200"} {"pmid": "10255202", "title": "Your job--it's a matter of degree.", "content": "Your job--it's a matter of degree.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255202"} {"pmid": "10255203", "title": "How to fight media fear.", "content": "How to fight media fear.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255203"} {"pmid": "10255204", "title": "Managers on the firing line.", "content": "Managers on the firing line.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255204"} {"pmid": "10255205", "title": "Bowen theory and pastoral care.", "content": "Bowen theory and pastoral care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255205"} {"pmid": "10255207", "title": "Health care prices.", "content": "Health care prices.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255207"} {"pmid": "10255206", "title": "Community hospital statistics.", "content": "Community hospital statistics.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255206"} {"pmid": "10255197", "title": "Legislative currents: the Federal Register.", "content": "Legislative currents: the Federal Register.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255197"} {"pmid": "10255208", "title": "Employment, hours, and earnings in the private health sector.", "content": "Employment, hours, and earnings in the private health sector.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255208"} {"pmid": "10255209", "title": "National economic indicators.", "content": "National economic indicators.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255209"} {"pmid": "10255195", "title": "Marketing forum: pocket-size personal health record.", "content": "Marketing forum: pocket-size personal health record.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255195"} {"pmid": "10255213", "title": "How to handle the first months at a new hospital.", "content": "How to handle the first months at a new hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255213"} {"pmid": "10255214", "title": "Is your hospital ready for word processing.", "content": "Is your hospital ready for word processing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255214"} {"pmid": "10255212", "title": "Refugees tax Florida center.", "content": "Refugees tax Florida center.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255212"} {"pmid": "10255215", "title": "More authority seen for materials manager.", "content": "More authority seen for materials manager.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255215"} {"pmid": "10255216", "title": "Education: key to quality in new case cart system.", "content": "Education: key to quality in new case cart system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255216"} {"pmid": "10255217", "title": "Charter Medical's purchasing chief stresses role of product evaluation panels.

The feasibility of using Travenol regular and minidrip sets to deliver intravenous solution with IVAC 230 controllers was investigated. Intravariability within Travenol regular sets proved to be negligible. Likewise, intervariability among IVAC controllers is negligible. The least squares fit obtained from drops per minute (dpm) versus flow rate (ml/hr) for Travenol regular sets using dextrose 5% in water was y = 4.50x + 0.8 (r greater than 0.99). Similarly, the least squares fit for sodium chloride 0.9% was y = 4.50x - 0.6 (r greater than 0.99). Therefore, the calculated dpm for the required flow rate for both solutions is similar using Travenol regular sets. Also, no significant difference is found between the drip rate of dextrose 5% in water and sodium chloride 0.9% with Travenol minidrip at 5, 30, and 60 dpms.

When managers have thorough knowledge and understanding of the regulatory requirements of the federal government, they can proceed to review, analyze and update documentation with indexing and decide the appropriate format of data, as well as the vehicles best suited for the user's needs, integrating micrographics and automated indexing. It is important that industry and regulatory agencies work together. For five years, Merck has been involved in refining microfiche specifications for submissions to various Bureaus at the Food and Drug Administration, originally for the Bureau of Drugs and currently for the Bureau of Foods and the Bureau of Veterinary Medicine. In these pilot projects, Merck has shared its know-how with other pharmaceutical companies in published articles, one-day seminars and several speeches at conferences of national organizations such as the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (PMA) and the Association of Records Managers and Administrators (ARMA). In April 1979, a presentation was made before the Garden State Chapter of the National Micrographics Association (NMA).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255288"} {"pmid": "10255289", "title": "Block grants for the needy: the case of AFDC.", "content": "Block grants for the needy: the case of AFDC.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255289"} {"pmid": "10255287", "title": "Communications breakdown: games EMTs and nurses play.", "content": "Communications breakdown: games EMTs and nurses play.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255287"} {"pmid": "10255285", "title": "Cricothyroctomy: practice makes perfect.", "content": "Cricothyroctomy: practice makes perfect.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255285"} {"pmid": "10255290", "title": "Public policy toward life saving: should consumer preferences rule?", "content": "Public policy toward life saving: should consumer preferences rule?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255290"} {"pmid": "10255292", "title": "Inferences from alarming events.", "content": "Inferences from alarming events. An extreme event, such as a nuclear accident, an earthquake, a cluster of adverse reactions to a particular drug, or excessive breakdowns of some class of equipment, frequently focuses attention for the first time on an important issue. By then, however, data on the incidence and magnitudes of relevant past events may be unavailable or too costly to reconstruct. Using a simple probability model, we derive methods for drawing statistical inferences based only on the magnitude of the first event noticed and the amount of exposure before this event occurred. We assume that an event is noticed only when its magnitude exceeds some threshold, and we develop methods of inference that are valid even when this threshold is unknown. One tempting but incorrect approach is to treat the magnitude of the observed event as if it were the threshold, forgetting that smaller magnitudes might have been noticed as well. The biases that arise when this mistake is made turn out to be substantial; risks can easily be overstated by a factor of 3.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255292"} {"pmid": "10255293", "title": "The judge as manager: the case of Judge Frank Johnson.", "content": "The judge as manager: the case of Judge Frank Johnson.

In the early 1960s, the motivating theme of social services in the American welfare state was reduction of economic dependency. At that time services were highly selective, aimed mainly at poor people. Between 1960 and 1980 there was a drift toward univeralism, as the welfare state expanded to serve an increasing number of middle-class groups. This expansion of the welfare state was related to several social and demographic trends, and was accompanied by basic changes in the scope and purpose of social services. As the welfare state has moved toward universal entitlement to social services, a number of contradictions between the theory and practice of universalism in a capitalist society have surfaced. These contradictions lend a degree of support to the resurgence of selectivity which the welfare state is currently experiencing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255291"} {"pmid":

Lead toxicity, a man-made disease of young children, has only recently come to the focus of professional and public awareness. Lead has become increasingly bioavailable to humans as a direct result of industrial processing and manufacturing. While lead-based paint in older dwellings is the primary cause of lead toxicity among young children, airborne lead from gasoline fumes and factory emissions, plus dirt and dust into which high concentrations of lead have settled, are also significant sources of undue exposure. A variety of consumer products, including kitchen utensils, newsprint, and cosmetics are likewise potentially hazardous because of their high lead content. Exposure to excessive amounts of lead is especially harmful for young children: they are biologically and developmentally more vulnerable to its toxic effects. Even at levels of absorption that produce no medical symptoms, lead may impede children's overall developmental progress by interfering with their performance in serveral crucial areas. Although the United States has been reluctant to assume an aggressive regulatory position toward lead, the federal government currently supports comprehensive lead poisoning control programs in 60 American cities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255430"} {"pmid": "10255433", "title": "A review of hospital menus and the effect on patient food intake.", "content": "A review of hospital menus and the effect on patient food intake.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255433"} {"pmid": "10255432", "title": "Energy management: Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, Sydney.", "content": "Energy management: Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, Sydney.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255432"} {"pmid": "10255434", "title": "Sex and sandshoes: a blueprint for district hospital health promotion.", "content": "Sex and sandshoes: a blueprint for district hospital health promotion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255434"} {"pmid": "10255435", "title": "International perspectives.", "content": "International perspectives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255435"} {"pmid": "10255439", "title": "Video teleconferencing techniques: part I.", "content": "Video teleconferencing techniques: part I.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255439"} {"pmid": "10255438", "title": "Solving medical malpractice problems.", "content": "Solving medical malpractice problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255438"} {"pmid": "10255426", "title": "Economic analysis of outpatient digital angiography.", "content": "Economic analysis of outpatient digital angiography.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255426"} {"pmid": "10255428", "title": "What to look for when buying CT equipment.", "content": "What to look for when buying CT equipment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255428"} {"pmid": "10255425", "title": "Spotlight on silver recovery.", "content": "Spotlight on silver recovery.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255425"} {"pmid": "10255424", "title": "No-nonsense use of computers in nuclear medicine.", "content": "No-nonsense use of computers in nuclear medicine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255424"} {"pmid": "10255429", "title": "Preparing the department budget: the trials and tribulations of the radiology administrator.", "content": "Preparing the department budget: the trials and tribulations of the radiology administrator.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255429"} {"pmid": "10255427", "title": "Action on the NMR front.", "content": "Action on the NMR front.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255427"} {"pmid": "10255436", "title": "Government and health outcomes.", "content": "Government and health outcomes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255436"} {"pmid": "10255437", "title": "Government and the regulation of hospital care.", "content": "Government and the regulation of hospital care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255437"} {"pmid": "10255440", "title": "Following the patient home: a hospital improves its community service with cable TV programming.", "content": "Following the patient home: a hospital improves its community service with cable TV programming.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255440"} {"pmid": "10255442", "title": "Microsurgery in trauma: its evolution and future.", "content": "Microsurgery in trauma: its evolution and future.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255442"} {"pmid": "10255443", "title": "'Musical medicine'.", "content": "'Musical medicine'.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255443"} {"pmid": "10255444", "title": "Allocation of spectrum in a certain MHz band and to establish other rules, policies, and procedures for one-way paging stations in the Domestic Public Land Mobile Radio Service--Federal Communications Commission.

A comprehensive health center is defined as the synergistic coupling of a medical and administrative structure designed to provide inpatient, outpatient, and public health services. While health centers have been widely established in other countries, only limited implementation has occurred in rural areas of the United States. The successful implementation of the health center concept in a sparsely populated area of northwestern New Mexico, which is predominately inhabited by Navajo Indians and Spanish Americans, is descriptively analyzed. The physical environment and the socioeconomic characteristics of the catchment area residents are related to dominant conditions in underdeveloped countries. The evolution of the delivery system with its network of satellite clinics staffed by mid-level primary care providers is documented. The funding and provision of a wide range of preventive and curative health services supported by communication, transportation, outreach, education, public health, and administration components are described. Several problems thought to impede the application of the health center concept to other regions in the United States are identified and discussed relative to this New Mexican experience. Innovative and persevering systems designers who are strongly committed to delivering a balance between preventive and curative services are considered to be absolutely necessary for successful implementation of the health center concept in the United States. This article describes the development of a comprehensive health center in a rural area of New Mexico that is inhabited predominantly by indigenous Navajo Indians and Spanish Americans. 1st the physical environment and the population of the catchment area is described in relation to the characteristics of an underdeveloped rural area. The authors then describe the development of the health center in regard to system planning, service implementation, and system maturation. In order to overcome distance and isolation, a system of satellite clinics supported by a central health center was designed and became operational in 1972. The central health center provided a full range of outpatient services, including specialty clinics staffed by physicians, emergency area, and a small inpatient unit. An important step toward coordinating all public health services took place in 1976 when the state health agency awarded a public health contract to the center. Financial stability for the center was achieved in 1975 with the receipt of a 5 year federal grant from the Health for Underserved Rural Areas program. Other important sources of aid included the Indian Health Service and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The authors cite several possible causes for the lack of support for comprehensive health centers in the U.S., including a predominant value system for both providers and patients that emphasizes curative services over preventive measures. The article includes tables demonstrating population by community, spatial relation between system center and satellite clinics, sources of funding, personnel and facility resources, and utilization of the health center.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255577"} {"pmid": "10255579", "title": "Dealing with on-premises rape and sexual abuse.", "content": "Dealing with on-premises rape and sexual abuse.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255579"} {"pmid": "10255580", "title": "How to prevent falls by patients, employees, and visitors.", "content": "How to prevent falls by patients, employees, and visitors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255580"} {"pmid": "10255581", "title": "Safety on wheels: a new approach to employee safety education.", "content": "Safety on wheels: a new approach to employee safety education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255581"} {"pmid": "10255582", "title": "Medical center's 'get tough' policy on employee theft gets results.", "content": "Medical center's 'get tough' policy on employee theft gets results.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255582"} {"pmid": "10255583", "title": "Dealing with labor violence and other strike security problems.", "content": "Dealing with labor violence and other strike security problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255583"} {"pmid": "10255584", "title": "Marketing forum: tools available to medical record practitioners.", "content": "Marketing forum: tools available to medical record practitioners.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255584"} {"pmid": "10255585", "title": "Current trends in the delivery of health care services and their influence on the medical record practitioner.", "content": "Current trends in the delivery of health care services and their influence on the medical record practitioner.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255585"} {"pmid": "10255586", "title": "Successful computer applications in a medical record department.", "content": "Successful computer applications in a medical record department.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255586"} {"pmid": "10255587", "title": "Development of a resource document for medical record education.", "content": "Development of a resource document for medical record education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255587"} {"pmid": "10255591", "title": "The use of posters and leaflets in a specialist health education department.", "content": "The use of posters and leaflets in a specialist health education department.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255591"} {"pmid": "10255588", "title": "Response to rubella immunisation education in health authority family planning clinics: a controlled clinical trial.", "content": "Response to rubella immunisation education in health authority family planning clinics: a controlled clinical trial.

The effectiveness of the intervention was determined by studying the number of women approaching their General Practitioner in the ensuing four months for serological testing to determine their immune-status. Of 174 cases and 170 controls registered with a General Practitioner, follow-up information was obtained on 164 (94%) cases and 155 (91%) controls. General Practitioners' records revealed pre-existing knowledge of serologically confirmed immunity or previous rubella immunisation in only 35 (21%) cases and 29 (19%) controls. In response to health education, 12 (7%) cases approached their GP on the subject compared with 3 (2%) controls - a small but significant difference (P less than 0.05) which was confined to women aged 25-29 years.

Selection processes avoid persons who have rigid beliefs, unresolved grief, or negative personalities as well as those who talk too much. The training uses many teaching methods to emphasize hospice philosophy, team building, communication skills, death awareness, empathy skills, basic nursing skills, impact of death on family, cancer information, pain control, and physician-care factors. Concrete examples of how each of these themes is accomplished are included in the paper. This program has worked well in preparing a group of volunteers for a rural, home-based hospice program in northern Michigan and represents one example of an effective approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255733"} {"pmid": "10255734", "title": "Neonatal circumcision.", "content": "Neonatal circumcision.

This exploratory study determined specific educational needs of hysterectomy patients. The study population consisted of patients who had successfully undergone hysterectomies performed by four gynecologists within the two years prior to the study. A questionnaire was developed, tested, revised, and subsequently returned by 146 women. Most questions were designed to elicit information on (1) what patients wanted to know, (2) when they wanted the information, and (3) whether this information was obtained. Data regarding the first two questions were examined in relation to the demographic variables of age, education, occupation, pregnancy outcomes, and employment. Results showed that hysterectomy patients wanted more explanation of all topics. The topic most often (92%) rated very important was physical effects of the surgery. Women between 31 and 40 years of age valued as most important was the sexuality topics. Ninety-four percent indicated they most wanted the information before hospitalization. Twenty percent reported receiving no information about possible psychological or sexual problems. Conclusions drawn from this study are that there is an urgent need for structured patient education about hysterectomy; that patients have a need for information on the physical, psychological, and sexual aspects of hysterectomy; and that this information is needed before entering the hospital, pre- and postsurgery, and after returning home.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255736"} {"pmid": "10255742", "title": "How pharmacists' salaries & fringe benefits compare by type of practice.", "content": "How pharmacists' salaries & fringe benefits compare by type of practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255742"} {"pmid": "10255743", "title": "Fall accident patterns: characterization of most frequent work surface-related injuries.", "content": "Fall accident patterns: characterization of most frequent work surface-related injuries.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255743"} {"pmid": "10255744", "title": "What to do when confronted with a violent patient.", "content": "What to do when confronted with a violent patient.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255744"} {"pmid": "10255746", "title": "How physicians can help troubled colleagues.", "content": "How physicians can help troubled colleagues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255746"} {"pmid": "10255745", "title": "Debate over physician advertising continues.", "content": "Debate over physician advertising continues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255745"} {"pmid": "10255747", "title": "Blue Cross tackles fraud by physicians and patients.", "content": "Blue Cross tackles fraud by physicians and patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255747"} {"pmid": "10255749", "title": "Need for psychiatrists in hospital ERs increasing.", "content": "Need for psychiatrists in hospital ERs increasing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255749"} {"pmid": "10255748", "title": "Mentally ill face cuts in disability payments.", "content": "Mentally ill face cuts in disability payments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255748"} {"pmid": "10255750", "title": "Prepaid practice--will it work?", "content": "Prepaid practice--will it work?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255750"} {"pmid": "10255751", "title": "Villages for the handicapped.", "content": "Villages for the handicapped.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255751"} {"pmid": "10255752", "title": "IPAs and psychiatry: bumpy road?", "content": "IPAs and psychiatry: bumpy road?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255752"} {"pmid": "10255753", "title": "IPAs and psychiatry--trouble in the west.", "content": "IPAs and psychiatry--trouble in the west.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255753"} {"pmid": "10255754", "title": "New model proposed for inpatient group therapy.", "content": "New model proposed for inpatient group therapy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255754"} {"pmid": "10255755", "title": "You can produce effective PSAs.", "content": "You can produce effective PSAs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255755"} {"pmid": "10255756", "title": "\"There wasn't time to scream\": anatomy of a hotel disaster.", "content": "\"There wasn't time to scream\": anatomy of a hotel disaster.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255756"} {"pmid": "10255757", "title": "House officers and referring physicians.", "content": "House officers and referring physicians.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255757"} {"pmid": "10255758", "title": "The adult with cancer: in preparation for death.", "content": "The adult with cancer: in preparation for death.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255758"} {"pmid": "10255759", "title": "Data on U.S. hospitals: a comparison of the two principal sources.", "content": "Data on U.S. hospitals: a comparison of the two principal sources.

None of the reimbursement approaches are found to be deficient on the theoretical level, but practical problems of implementation are shown to be very difficult. As an alternative, a competitive binding system is proposed which would bring competitive market efficiency to the allocation of Medicaid funds for nursing home care.

A series of laboratory tests and clinical trials were devised such that these could be interpreted with regard to clinical considerations, cost analyses and serviceability factors relating to the materials. Laboratory testing covered possible effects on the chemical and mechanical properties of material likely to be caused by various environmental, sterilization and working factors. The complementary clinical evaluation to highlight the behaviour of materials during the fabrication and wearing of splints consisted of specific information generated with the assistance of experienced occupational therapists, occupational therapy students and patients. Biocompatibility studies were also carried out. The data to be published will provide needed information to physicians, occupational therapists, physical therapists, orthotists, prosthetists, and administrators with regard to their making informed decisions on the selection, purchase and use of thermoplastic materials.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255889"} {"pmid": "10255893", "title": "The counselling group: rehabilitative tool for a psychiatric clientele.", "content": "The counselling group: rehabilitative tool for a psychiatric clientele.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255893"} {"pmid": "10255902", "title": "Communication and the medical care process.", "content": "Communication and the medical care process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255902"} {"pmid": "10255903", "title": "Is Bayer better?

Under California Law AB 717, the University of Southern California is operating one of two pilot programs to train and evaluate prescribing pharmacists. Various instruments have been created and administered, and validity results are presented. The presentation is organized into two areas dealing with the development of the examination instrument and then the assessment of the prescriptions written by pharmacists. The reliability of the three sections of the certification examination as measured by internal consistency was as follows: clinical therapeutics (KR 20=.84), physical assessment (KR 20=.88), and law (KR 20=.84). The exam was given to a group of physicians (N=14) to establish a cutting score. Thirty pharmacists who took the exam did slightly better than the physicians on clinical therapeutics, but the physicians performed better than pharmacists on physical assessment (p less than .01). A prescription evaluation form was constructed to evaluate the performance of the pharmacists as prescribers. The reliability of the form as measured by coefficient alpha was .84. Concurrent validity was explored by assessing the relationship between performance on the certification exam and judges' appropriateness scored on prescriptions for ambulatory hypertensive patients. These results indicate that the pharmacists, who passed the exam, can prescribe as appropriately as physicians.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255917"} {"pmid": "10255915", "title": "Hospital unit work concept.", "content": "Hospital unit work concept.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255915"} {"pmid": "10255916", "title": "Efficient linen distribution: a key in controlling laundry costs.", "content": "Efficient linen distribution: a key in controlling laundry costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255916"} {"pmid": "10255919", "title": "Evaluating the effectiveness of nursing home administrations.", "content": "Evaluating the effectiveness of nursing home administrations.

If there's one thing that most U.S. executives agree on, it's the need for higher productivity in American workplaces. So far most efforts at raising performance have concentrated on factory and office employees-partly, one assumes, because their output is easily measured. However, the increases in productivity at the shop or office level will mean nothing in the long run, if, for instance, new products aren't designed, new structures aren't put in place to accommodate change, or new equipment isn't conceived to improve product quality. In other words, a company's productivity depends to a great degree on how innovative its middle managers are. In this article, the author describes a study she conducted of 165 middle managers in five companies to determine what managers contribute to innovation and what factors the most innovative companies have in common. She found that, among other things, innovative managers tend to be visionary, comfortable with change, and persistent. Innovation flourishes in companies where territories overlap and people have contact across functions; information flows freely; numbers of people have excesses in their budgets; many managers are in open-ended positions, and reward systems look to the future, not the past.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255946"} {"pmid": "10255971", "title": "Hospital-sponsored child care: expanded employee benefit.", "content": "Hospital-sponsored child care: expanded employee benefit.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255971"} {"pmid": "10255973", "title": "Governance, sponsorship, management: what is the trustee's role?", "content": "Governance, sponsorship, management: what is the trustee's role?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255973"} {"pmid": "10255972", "title": "Approaches, services vary for employee child care.", "content": "Approaches, services vary for employee child care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255972"} {"pmid": "10255976", "title": "Pastoral care workshops provide resource for clergy.", "content": "Pastoral care workshops provide resource for clergy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255976"} {"pmid": "10255974", "title": "Hospital trusteeship: corporate and personal liability.", "content": "Hospital trusteeship: corporate and personal liability.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10255974"} {"pmid": "10255975", "title": "Administration, Congress lacks clear focus on health care issues.

A study was conducted of the number of doses omitted on eight patient care units in a hospital which employs a decentralized unit dose system. Omitted doses were doses of drugs that were returned to the pharmacy and that, as subsequently determined, should have been administered to patients. The number of omitted doses was 0.048 per patient day. The number of omitted doses per patient day varied among the patient care units. The results were reported to the Medication Practices Review Committee, a subcommittee of the Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee. Subsequently, educational efforts by the Departments of Nursing and Pharmacy were directed towards reducing the omitted-dose rate. The study was repeated five months later. The number of omitted doses had fallen to 0.011 doses per day, a significant difference from the previous study. All patient care units but one had significantly fewer omitted doses, with the other patient care unit showing no change. This study showed that the rate of omitted doses can be estimated without the use of trained observers. Additionally, this method can be used to determine the changes in the omitted dose rate within a hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256044"} {"pmid": "10256045", "title": "A multidisciplinary audit of cardiorespiratory arrest response patterns.", "content": "A multidisciplinary audit of cardiorespiratory arrest response patterns.

Will the Code Blue procedure flow smoothly, with each member of the resuscitation team knowing what his responsibilities are and how to perform them? Is confusion kept to a minimum? These are the questions which our multidisciplinary Code Blue Committee was charged with answering. The committee audited four broad areas: adequacy of equipment and medication, written policies and procedures, documentation of activities, and preparedness of team members for their specific responsibilities. The multidisciplinary approach to establishing standards of practice for \"Code Blues\" has been very successful. As a result of the audit, specific actions were taken to correct deficiencies.

Although A and B leaders are both seen as moderately likeable, A leaders' problem solutions are rated as lower in quality. Manipulations of problem importance and incentive for good solutions have similar effects on As and Bs.

Using data from a cross-section sample, we identify subgroups that differ significantly with respect to scores on the comprehension index, and we then describe the observed levels of comprehension in terms of the operations defining the index.

Over a 3 month period, 116 patients assigned on the basis of geographical proximity to an urban or rural Hospital Based Home Care Program were examined to determine whether services provided by an urban-based HBHC team could be extended by a rural-based team to a similar but rural, chronically ill patient population. Variables reflecting medical and socio-economic patient characteristics and level of services provided were gathered to test for significant differences between the two programs. Two-tailed difference of group means t-tests of the data revealed that only number of medications and supplies dispensed attained significance; patients in the urban program received more than their rural counterparts, a result probably due to the greater proximity of the program physician to the urban-based team. The results appear to indicate that it is possible to maintain severely disabled patients in their own homes in rural as well as urban settings.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256280"} {"pmid": "10256282", "title": "Comparative approaches to resource allocation and cost containment: an International View I-- the comparative costs of health given inside and outside Hospitals: a European View.", "content": "Comparative approaches to resource allocation and cost containment: an International View I-- the comparative costs of health given inside and outside Hospitals: a European View.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256282"} {"pmid": "10256281", "title": "Role analysis of the position of the homemaker-home health aide.", "content": "Role analysis of the position of the homemaker-home health aide.

Describes development of a computer simulated design of primary care service delivery within a complex organization. Data for the model was obtained by interview, from financial records, patient charts, personnel files, and by questionnaire. The design regards primary health care need as a variable dependent on population characteristics and disease incidence rates, with delivery of care being determined by community needs. By extension of this line of thought, the most appropriate organizational design for the institution must necessarily be based on the specific environment in which it operates. The model and the simulation of primary health care activity in a health department supported the hypothesis that staff assignment is a function of community need for the service, and is also a function of the resources available. Changes in lag time for feedback regarding goal attainment did not produce any changes in performance, and political support was not found to be directly related to staffing of a particular program. An important conclusion to be drawn from this research is that resource administration and allocation requires skills in community diagnosis and internal management which health administrators would do well to include in their education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256308"} {"pmid": "10256309", "title": "Prescribing in pediatric ambulatory care.", "content": "Prescribing in pediatric ambulatory care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256309"} {"pmid": "10256311", "title": "A computerized data system for coordination of pediatric care.", "content": "A computerized data system for coordination of pediatric care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256311"} {"pmid": "10256312", "title": "A quality assurance plan for an ambulatory care department.", "content": "A quality assurance plan for an ambulatory care department.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256312"} {"pmid": "10256313", "title": "Evolution of an HMO.", "content": "Evolution of an HMO.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256313"} {"pmid": "10256314", "title": "Group practice at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.", "content": "Group practice at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256314"} {"pmid": "10256315", "title": "Profile of Dr. Solomon J.

Twenty-six ultrasound therapy devices in clinical use in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario were tested for performance compliance with Canadian government standards of functioning. The performance characteristics measured were the temporal average acoustic power output, the electrical impulse frequency to the transducer, and the timer accuracy. Twenty-one of the 26 units (81%) had power levels which differed by more than +/- 20% of the indicated output, and only five units (19%) had all tested power levels within +/- 20% of the indicated output. Seven units (27%) had inaccurate timers, but only one unit (of the 13 tested) had an unacceptable frequency reading. This study supports the results of other investigations which have suggested that the majority of ultrasound therapy units in clinical use are in need of calibration. This situation needs to be corrected immediately if patients are to receive the prescribed doses of ultrasound radiation for treatment purposes both safely and effectively. Possible courses of action for rectifying these problems are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256380"} {"pmid": "10256381", "title": "Ten questions to ask -- and answer -- before launching an employee health promotion program.", "content": "Ten questions to ask -- and answer -- before launching an employee health promotion program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256381"} {"pmid": "10256383", "title": "Court affirms rights of retarded.", "content": "Court affirms rights of retarded.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256383"} {"pmid": "10256382", "title": "Hospital borrows marketing techniques to design wellness program employees can't refuse.", "content": "Hospital borrows marketing techniques to design wellness program employees can't refuse.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256382"} {"pmid": "10256384", "title": "Psychiatric help programs for employees on rise.", "content": "Psychiatric help programs for employees on rise.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256384"} {"pmid": "10256385", "title": "Burnout and self-reliance.", "content": "Burnout and self-reliance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256385"} {"pmid": "10256386", "title": "Would competition curb health care costs?", "content": "Would competition curb health care costs?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256386"} {"pmid": "10256387", "title": "The cop who spreads sunshine.", "content": "The cop who spreads sunshine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256387"} {"pmid": "10256388", "title": "How to use the medical library as a clinical tool.", "content": "How to use the medical library as a clinical tool.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256388"} {"pmid": "10256389", "title": "Efficient warewashing scrubs problems.", "content": "Efficient warewashing scrubs problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256389"} {"pmid": "10256390", "title": "Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati goes fishing for a promotion, reels in a seafood spectacular.", "content": "Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati goes fishing for a promotion, reels in a seafood spectacular.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256390"} {"pmid": "10256391", "title": "ASIM cost-containment plan promotes ambulatory health care.", "content": "ASIM cost-containment plan promotes ambulatory health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256391"} {"pmid": "10256392", "title": "Units' advertising increases awareness, not volume.", "content": "Units' advertising increases awareness, not volume.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256392"} {"pmid": "10256393", "title": "The organ network.", "content": "The organ network.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256393"} {"pmid": "10256394", "title": "Treating the unborn.", "content": "Treating the unborn.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256394"} {"pmid": "10256396", "title": "Collective bargaining in the health care industry.", "content": "Collective bargaining in the health care industry.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256396"} {"pmid": "10256395", "title": "Slack, natural slack, and location covering.", "content": "Slack, natural slack, and location covering.

Our approach takes advantage of the latter concept, natural slack, and produces a location covering form which is more flexible in the determination of objective functions than that of other formulations.

This paper extends the analysis of the demand for medical care to an aspect which has previously been ignored: variations in expected, as opposed to experienced, cause of losses of health and the current use of medical care. Losses of health which cannot be prevented by the prior use of medical care are hypothesized to decrease the use of medical care by reducing the rate of return to investments in health, ceteris paribus. The reduction in the rate of return occurs both because these losses curtail the length of the stream of benefits to the use of medical care and because prior use of medical care is not effective in reducing the occurrence of these types of loss. Empirical findings support this hypothesis.

Data from the World Fertility Survey in ten Third World countries are used to test the conclusion, based on a Nigerian study, that material education is important in reducing child mortality. The analysis confirms the major importance of parental education, the impact of which is probably greater than both income factors and access to health facilities combined. Rural/urban differentials are of small importance once parental education has been controlled. The findings of the Nigerian study are modified in that paternal education is also shown to be important, though not as important as maternal education, and the step from primary to secondary schooling is more important than that from illiteracy to primary schooling. The massive declines in child mortality during the last third of a century have been the result not only of technological and economic change but also of social change, of which the most important component for the survival of children through the first years of life has been parental education. It is suggested that schooling introduces parents to a global culture of largely Western origin and loosens their ties to traditional cultures. Age and sex differentiations in power, decision-making and benefits within the larger family are reduced when schooling brings about a new family system in which women and children are allocated higher priorities in terms of care and allocation of food and in which parents can make decisions about health and child care without reference to their elders.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256648"} {"pmid": "10256649", "title": "Empirical findings on the association between education and child health status: discussion.", "content": "Empirical findings on the association between education and child health status: discussion. In this discussion of the empirical findings on the association between education and child health status, it is important to note the important contributions of Cochrane and Caldwell. Most of the evidence comes from aggregate studies, and it shows certain facts significant from the perspective of policies. The association between education and child mortality is found in a variety of conditions, and mother's education appears to have a stronger effect than father's education. This finding warrants a discussion of the mechanism of this effect. It is also relevant for intervention programs. It is clear that despite much research the exact nature of the association between education and child mortality is not well known, and the mechanism should not be oversimplified. The errors in basic data may be impressive, and at times it is unknown how much the real \"effect\" of education on mortality is overestimated or underestimated. Selecting and operationalizing variables is an important step in the attempt to understand the nature of the relationship between education and mortality. When dealing with population censuses or other sources of systematic information, efforts are restricted to available information. Operational variables are usually proxies to the real theoretical variables of interest, and sometimes they are rather poor indicators. The theoretical frame of analysis is more important when the researcher designs the collection of information. The point that must be emphasized is that both the changes in mortality and education are occurring in the 3rd world countries within a historic transition from precapitalistic modes of production to relatively advanced, dependent, capitalistic development. Examples are included which show the importance of considering the contextual, historical conditions which, to a certain extent, are determining both parents' education and child mortality as well as the association between them. Another point to be considered is that both the magnitude of mortality and the low educational levels are shocking in several underdeveloped countries with avoidable deaths running to the order of several million each year. The final point concerns informal education. Recently, the idea of extending health services through primary health care has received important consideration. Those programs emphasize health education and certain community participation in health programs, but these facts are not reflected in the usual years of schooling index. In sum, the study of the association of parents' education and child mortality must be understood in the historic perspective of the different and complex social changes that are taking place in the societies of the 3rd world.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256649"} {"pmid": "10256650", "title": "Correlates of life expectancy in less developed countries.", "content": "Correlates of life expectancy in less developed countries. Analyses were performed to investigate several hypotheses concerning the multiple determinants of levels of life expectancy in developing countries in recent decades and some possible explanation for the observed variations in amount of gain in life expectancy from the 1950's to the 1970's. The findings were significant. For level of life expectancy the results of this present work conform by and large to results of other scholars in this area, although the present work is unique in that only developing countries were included. From the 1960's to the 1970's there has been a shift in the relative importance of economic indicators and general social indicators in favor of the social indicators. In the period 1960-65 some 70% of the variation in levels of life expectancy was associated with per capita income and literacy rates in a ratio of about three to two in favor of the economic variable. By 1970-75 the ratio has become six to one in favor of literacy. In addition, the multivariate model showed that the sanitation variables began to appear as significant correlates of levels of life expectancy in the more recent time period, playing a larger role than level of income per capita.

The education of a mother is strongly and positively correlated with the survival rate of her children. This paper combines household data from the Colombian Census of 1973 and characteristics of the 900 residential areas in Colombia, to test various hypotheses concerning the mechanism by which mother's education and public policies affect child survival and the distribution of health benefits resulting from policy interventions. The hypothesis is advanced that education provides people with skills in acquiring and decoding new information and thus effectively lowers the costs of using more beneficial child health and contraceptive technologies. Since a primary function of health and family planning programs is to disseminate information on these same technologies, the hypothesis is tested that mother's education and these program interventions may substitute for each other in improving child health and reducing family size. The empirical analysis confirms that in urban areas the availability of medical services, family planning activities, transportational infrastructure and climate, in addition to mother's education, are associated with child mortality ratios and fertility within a birth cohort of mothers. The least educated mothers are the most strongly affected, in terms of their reduced fertility and increased child survival rates, by the local urban health programs. The evidence is, thus, consistent with the substitution hypothesis. No effects of program interventions and medical facilities are found on rural populations, though both child mortality ratios and fertility are lower for more educated rural women.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256651"} {"pmid": "10256612", "title": "Material management: a fertile environment for hospital cost containment.", "content": "Material management: a fertile environment for hospital cost containment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256612"} {"pmid": "10256613", "title": "Excess beds: an inventory problem.", "content": "Excess beds: an inventory problem.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256613"} {"pmid": "10256615", "title": "Nightingale's angels rehoused.", "content": "Nightingale's angels rehoused.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256615"} {"pmid": "10256653", "title": "Education and infant survival in rural Bangladesh.", "content": "Education and infant survival in rural Bangladesh. This paper explores the mechanism through which socioeconomic status affects infant deaths. The data used here come from a prospective study in rural Bangladesh. Both neonatal deaths and postneonatal deaths were found to be higher in number among those whose mothers have no schooling. Again, education of the mother has been found to be related to gestational month at termination and this gestational month at termination (which is the maturity of the newborn) determines the neonatal death. The other factors affecting infant mortality were the height of the mother and the weight of the infant. The taller the mother, the fewer the neonatal and post-natal deaths. The weight of the infant has a direct relationship to its survival during infancy. The mechanism through which socioeconomic status affects infant deaths in rural Bangladesh was explored. Education of the mother may be directly related to the child's nutrition, which, in turn, determines infant deaths. The nutrition of the mother may also be inversely related to preterm delivery, and thereby more neonatal deaths. The study began in November 1975 and continued through March 1978. 14 villages in Matlab with approximately 2200 married women aged 15-49 years were selected for the study. All the births occurring during this period and their survival status were recorded. A cohort of 1009 births was analyzed. The overall neonatal mortality rate was 31, and the postneonatal rate was 40/1000 livebirths. The neonatal mortality rate (31/1000 livebirths) was approximately 50% lower than the rate found for the rest of Matlab during the same time period. The neonatal mortality was higher among males. Neonatal deaths were more common in the 1st parity. Postneonatal deaths were lowest in mothers younger than age 20. Both neonatal and postneonatal death rates were slightly lower among literate mothers. Another socioeconomic factor considered was the number of country boats, which are the only means of communication in the study area. Neonatal deaths were the same among families with or without boats, but postneonatal deaths were slightly higher among families with 2 or more boats. About 30% of births took place among families whose fathers had migrated to obtain work. The neonatal death rate is higher among this group, but the postneonatal death rates are unaffected. 2 variables were found to be signficantly important to survive the neonatal period: height of mother and gestation month at delivery. Both factors were directly related to the chances of surviving the neonatal period. Infants with taller mothers or greater weight had a greater chance of surviving the postneonatal period. The growth pattern of female children is inferior due to the neglect of female children in the society. Thus, a better growth of female children of this generation will reduce the infant deaths of the next generation. Reduction of preterm deliveries by prenatal care will significantly reduce the neonatal deaths.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256653"} {"pmid": "10256652", "title": "The educational status of parents, and infant and child mortality in rural North India.", "content": "The educational status of parents, and infant and child mortality in rural North India. The task of this discussion is to disentangle the various forces which influence the probability of death for children and, where possible, to identify the independent role of education. This discussion is one of a series of explorations of the mortality and fertility experiences of a sample of couples from North India. The analysis is based on interviews with a rural sample of husbands and wives living in 120 villages in Uttar Pradesh State in India. Information concerning fertility and mortality is based on the retrospective fertility histories collected in 1972. The population is heavily dependent upon agriculture, and it is poor and has little formal education. Per capita income at the time of the survey was less than $100/year, and 52% of the husbands and 87% of the wives had never been to school. The crude birth rate is over 50/1000 and the total fertility rate is 7.7. The overall level of infant mortality in the uncorrected data is on the order of 170/1000 births. For the 2nd and 3rd years of life the mortality rate is 74/1000 children surviving the 1st year. There are considerable differences in the mortality experience of children according to the educational attainment of their parents. In general, the mortality differentials between those with no education and those with a moderate amount of education are small, but for all 3 measures of education, children with the most educated parents experience substantially lower levels of mortality. Those households where the mother has had some education tend to have lower female than male mortality rates, i.e., children of both sexes born into those households experience lower levels of mortality than do children born into households where neither parent or only the father is educated, but female children do particularly well. A clear measure of association between education and mortality is shown, but these measures are suggestive. To examine further the role of education as a determinant of mortality, the multivariate correlates of mortality in the neonatal and postneonatal periods are examined separately. In each case the determinants of death are examined in the context of a complex model of behavior. The regressions show a reasonably high degree of explanation of mortality during the 1st month of life, but education is not a significant explanatory variable in any of the regressions. In the multivariate context the influence of education in the postneonatal period is restricted to female births. Those girls born to households where the mother has received some education are significantly less likely to die than are the counterparts born to families where neither parent is educated or just the father has attended school. In sum, education is not a statistically significant predictor for the mortality probability of males in either age group, but it is a significant and robust predictor of female mortality in the postneonatal period.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256652"} {"pmid": "10256654", "title": "Empirical findings on the association between education and child health status: discussion.", "content": "Empirical findings on the association between education and child health status: discussion. The 3 papers presented in this section attempt to explain variations in child mortality. They use regression models in which a large number of independent variables appear in a reduced form obtained from an underlying structural system. These papers, which are essentially multivariate analyses of infant mortality using micro or household data, manifest 2 general problems. The 1st problem is that education is 1 of the independent variables to these analyses and is of special interest to this conference. However, education is closely associated with other possibly strong determinants of infant mortality and, in general, data are unavailable on these other determinants. Education in these regression analyses tends to represent the pure effects of education and also the effect of the other socioeconomic variables with which it happens to be either statistically or causally related. The 2nd general area of concern is that none of the papers is able to shed much light on the precise mechanisms by which education might affect health condition and mortality. The 3 papers recognize these 2 problems and are unable to do much about them. The papers do, however, come up with several interesting findings. Simmons and Bernstein report as their main finding that postneonatal mortality is determined to an important extent by preferences within the family for additional male or female children. These preferences or attitudes lead to either to neglect or to extra care of new children, and hence have an important effect on mortality patterns. The education variable, relating to the education of the mother and father, is of somewhat less importance. Chowdhury reports that education is relatively unimportant as a determinant of mortality. He suggests that there may nonetheless be some indirect influence of education or health. The main finding of Rosenzweig and Schultz is that health care programs offered by the public sector, like free clinics and public hospitals, tend to be redistributive. The programs result in the greater reductions in mortality among the less educated segments of the population. Whether their education variable represents itself or income, the finding that the health programs are redistributive or egalitarian stands up either way.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256654"} {"pmid": "10256655", "title": "Estimating the covariates of childhood mortality from retrospective reports of mothers.", "content": "Estimating the covariates of childhood mortality from retrospective reports of mothers.

Although further research is needed, the findings currently available are adequate to support advocacy of a higher priority to education in development and health improvement strategies.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256658"} {"pmid": "10256616", "title": "Operating theatre feature: some guidelines.", "content": "Operating theatre feature: some guidelines.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256616"} {"pmid": "10256659", "title": "The evaluation of educational and economic effects on life expectation by linear regression analysis.", "content": "The evaluation of educational and economic effects on life expectation by linear regression analysis.

This paper stresses that the relationship between education and health cannot be meaningfully analysed in isolation from the economic and cultural matrix of society of which it is an integral part. An examination of the different kinds of education available to Third Worlders shows that formal schooling is generally regarded as a passport to urban employment. It therefore accentuates socioeconomic differentiation. Altogether, education for the sake of increased knowledge and/or improved welfare is a luxury only the wealthier can afford. Moreover, an examination of the culture-specificity of health concepts is taken to show how Western health care is inappropriate in settings where health is seen as an indicator of morality. Numerous case materials are used as evidence for the argument presented here. The final section of the paper devoted to \"policy implications\" emphasises that low levels of education and health are symbolic of under-development. Formal education or Western type health care are no panacea, nor even palliatives for the poverty syndrome. Appropriate education associated with appropriate health measures may help to alleviate the worst evils of disease.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256661"} {"pmid": "10256662", "title": "The home environment of the malnourished-deprived child.", "content": "The home environment of the malnourished-deprived child. The extent of childhood malnutrition-deprivation throughout the world is indicated and its nature and the forms it takes are described. An account is given of several studies carried out by the author and his colleagues in Lebanon. An investigation of failure to thrive in young children revealed that in an apparently homogeneous low socioeconomic group there was a wide spectrum of physical growth which correlated closely with a number of home environment variables. Another study of the mental development of some of these children carried out over several years showed that children with even mild growth failure had a statistically significant impairment of mental development as compared with their apparently healthy siblings, also living in a home environment characterized by deprivation. The far reaching consequences are emphasized. In a third study which investigated the formal education of mothers, their nutritional knowledge and practices and the growth of their children, the indices were found to be interrelated to some extent. Finally, a small study gave some indication, perhaps contrary to general belief, that the rapid social change undergone by families who migrate from the country to an urban slum may be associated with an improvement in nutrition of the children.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256662"} {"pmid": "10256663", "title": "Continuing education and competency: some critical unresolved issues.", "content": "Continuing education and competency: some critical unresolved issues. There are numerous dilemmas and contradictory philosophies that the health professions face in planning programs and goals for continuing education and competency. Among the issues that are discussed are: (1) whether learning should be based on prescriptive or felt needs; (2) whether the ultimate objectives should be toward fostering practitioner safety or competence; and (3) whether the focus of assessment should be at the entry or advanced level. The discussion points out that continuing education does not, by its mere presence, assure continuing competency, and several suggestions are offered. First, there is no satisfactory definition of clinical competence to use in structuring program objectives or assessing their attainment. For example, if incompetence is considered to be the manifestation of patient harm, how serious must the harm be and how many patients must be harmed? This is an extremely difficult and complex issue, but one that must be faced. Second, the consuming public should be better informed and educated in identifying marginal practitioners. This is seen as an important, although currently lacking, component of voluntary approaches to continuing competency. Finally, reference is made to the potential of criterion-referenced testing for defining acceptable skill thresholds.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256663"} {"pmid": "10256665", "title": "Medical education units.", "content": "Medical education units. To assist faculty members in the planning, execution, and evaluation of teaching-learning activities many medical schools around the world have established medical education units or centers.

In 1969 the WHO arranged a network of teacher training centers to facilitate this type of cooperation. There are other networks and direct bilateral collaboration schemes as well, especially in the Americas and Europe. For the medical schools in the Southeast Asian region the WHO has designated three advanced units (at the Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, the University of New South Wales in Australia, and the University of Sri Lanka) as regional teacher training centers. In spite of the efforts of these units the development of medical education units in the Southeast Asian medical schools is still far from satisfactory.

These values are neatly packaged in what the author calls a \"black box.\" It makes for not only a healthy management style, but also a healthy person if the cognitions contained in one's black box are continually examined and weeded. To assist managers in identifying and examining the elements contained in their personal value sets, the author presents a few elements of his own black box.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256734"} {"pmid": "10256735", "title": "Medical malpractice arbitration.", "content": "Medical malpractice arbitration.

Participation is most appropriate when, for example, expertise is diffused, issues are controversial, problems cut across existing roles, or the development of people is desired; autonomy and individual responsibility may be more appropriate under the opposite conditions.

Because physiological responses differ with vibrations of varying frequency and amplitude, it is necessary to measure these characteristics before a commercial vibrator is used therapeutically: Facilities and equipment for performing such tests are, however, not readily available to physiotherapists. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to measure and compare frequencies of a variety of commercially available vibrators under varying load conditions and over time. Vibrators from major Canadian retail outlets and manufacturers were obtained and, through the use of both mechanical and optical methods, a total of 19 models were frequency-calibrated. The results of the study permit discussion related to the suitability and reliability of each model and provide specific guidance to physiotherapy departments in the selection of appropriate therapeutic vibrators. The results also indicate that the mode of application, such as strapping the apparatus to the patient rather than having the operator hold it in her hand, affects the frequency in some models. The data related to frequency measurements, gained through this study, should enable therapists to make more effective use of commercially available vibrators in motor reeducation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256793"} {"pmid": "10256794", "title": "A perspective on \"Physiotherapy Canada\": results of 1981 readership survey.", "content": "A perspective on \"Physiotherapy Canada\": results of 1981 readership survey. A readership survey was undertaken in 1981 by the editorial board of PHYSIOTHERAPY CANADA in order to identify the readers, ascertain their preferences and obtain their evaluation of the present content of the Journal. A questionnaire and a pre-addressed, prepaid response-card were included in the regular mailing of the January/February 1981 issue of the Journal. Analysis of the resulting data produced both descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the 6478 targeted population (readers on the mailing list), 440 (6.8%) replied. The response rate of physiotherapists was 7.3%. Although the low response rate makes it difficult to generalize the results to the readership at large, some helpful information was obtained. The majority of the respondents (84.3%) were physiotherapists, involved in clinical work (75.5%). Eighty-two per cent had never published an article. Although PHYSIOTHERAPY CANADA was the sole journal consulted by 29.7% of respondents, another 50.4% did consult from one to three additional journals. A clear preference for clinical articles was expressed. The low rate of publication claimed by respondents, however, and their predilection for using the Journal as a source of information rather than as a vehicle for disseminating reports of their own work, makes it difficult for the Journal to comply with their request.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256794"} {"pmid": "10256808", "title": "Annual report survey.", "content": "Annual

Since many of these services are provided in physically and financially separate facilities and often are not located in close proximity to one another, consumers may spend a large amount of time traveling between locations. Economic inefficiencies due to the size and dispersion of separate and independent facilities may produce an increase in the cost of ambulatory health care services. Thus, the concept of a health care center, an ambulatory health care analog to the multispecialty shopping center, is proposed as a potential alternative and improvement in the delivery of these services. Space, location, personnel, and initial capital requirements for a model health care center are projected based on existing data for the establishment of each separate auxiliary health care facility. Projections are made to determine the appropriate and necessary site for the health care center's trade area. Potential revenues are calculated by examining some pharmacy operations which are beginning to pioneer these areas and utilizing revenue figures for the various individual services.

In this windup of his series on team development (TD), Francis X. Mahoney, personnel development advisor for Exxon Company, U.S.A., sums up TD's advantages, shows how it can be used to meet organizational objectives, and indicates other ways of applying TD methods. Mahoney maintains that TD is truly \"organization development (OD) at the front line\" because they share the same objectives. For example, employee involvement and encouragement of initiative are OD goals and, as we have seen, TD gets people involved and encourages even those at the lowest level of the organization to contribute ideas and work together to solve work problems and implement the solutions. Mahoney hopes that this series will encourage internal and external OD experts to apply OD at levels not normally reached during regular assignments. TD activities can provide the basis for continuing activities between or after consultants' visits and after training programs. It can become a tool, particularly for first-time supervisors and middle managers, to improve productivity and teamwork. That, in essence, is what this series is all about--getting people to work together productively, effectively, and cohesively.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10256973"} {"pmid": "10256972", "title": "Strategies for organizational change: the role of the inside change agent.", "content": "Strategies for organizational change: the role of the inside change agent.

Financial reporting by non-profit organizations deals only with accountability for propriety and regularity, and ignores output measurement. The development of output measures of a physical or index nature offers a means of relating dollar costs to output in the form of cost-efficiency or cost-effectiveness measures, but does not provide any measure of the absolute value or worthwhileness of such programs. This fundamental absolute value question should be asked of all non-profit programs and documented to the greatest possible extent in budgetary submissions, and subsequent control and audit. In public sector non-profit programs, the posing of this question requires information on consumer demand other than in aggregative and imprecise form through the political process, and much improved information on the cost side. Eliciting demand information is feasible in the case of public programs with separable benefits by the use of a variety of pricing techniques, direct or imputed, whether or not the service in question is ultimately financed on a user-pay basis. The problem of eliciting demand is more difficult in the case of public goods, but improved demand information can be obtained, ideally by an approach such as the use of a Clarke tax. The argument can be extended to encompass questions of income distribution, stabilization, regulation and tax policy. Recent developments in program evaluation in the federal government are important, but remain deficient in failing to address the question of absolute value.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257032"} {"pmid": "10257033", "title": "Regulation and the paramedical professions: an interest group study.", "content": "Regulation and the paramedical professions: an interest group study.

It will be argued that the employment of sophisticated pressure group tactics can be highly effective as a surrogate for medical recognition.

The counseling of patients regarding their drug therapy has been advocated as an important part of pharmacy practice. Both the need and potential for this counseling have been demonstrated. Yet, studies generally have been critical to the extent and quality of the counseling provided. This report describes counseling as it is perceived by community pharmacists who perform this activity. A mail survey, developed from interviews with pharmacists, was distributed to a random sample of Ohio community pharmacists. A net response of 76.8 percent (506 usable questionnaires) was achieved. Respondents have strong positive beliefs about counseling. When the service is provided by pharmacists, counseling sessions are usually brief, pharmacist-initiated, and one-way conversations to the patient. Although there is considerable variation as to the classes of drugs for which counseling is provided and the types of people who receive it, the components of counseling appear to be constant. Attempts to change or expand counseling activities may be compromised unless there is a common understanding among all parties involved of what counseling is. This report is one step toward achieving that understanding. It may be used by community pharmacists to measure and compare their counseling behaviors and beliefs with those of their peers and as a means of identifying possible areas for change in their own practices.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257038"} {"pmid": "10257039", "title": "Considerations when proposing consultant pharmacist services to hospice programs.", "content": "Considerations when proposing consultant pharmacist services to hospice programs.

The routine functions of the visiting nurse included solving the drug therapy-related problems of hospice patients. Although pharmacists were relied upon for some assistance, their perceived role had been predominantly that of drug distributor. In addition, pharmacists were not aware of hospice programs and most offered very little help in meeting the needs of the terminally ill patient.

Each of these remedies, however, presents practical problems in terms of employer-employee relations as well as legal questions regarding the extent of relief available. In the following article, the author examines the remedies available to an employer when employees engage in activity that violates a no-strike provision.

One way of dealing with sex discrimination that results in job segregation is to narrow the existing wage differential between \"men's jobs\" and \"women's jobs.\" Where the jobs are dissimilar on their face, this narrowing of pay differences involves implementing the concept of \"equal pay for jobs of comparable worth.\" Some time in the future, far-reaching, perhaps even industrywide, reductions in male-female pay differentials may be achieved by pursuing legal remedies based on equal pay for comparable worth. However, as the author demonstrates, immediate, albeit more limited, relief for sex-based pay inequities found in specific work places can be obtained by implementing equal pay for jobs of comparable worth through the collective bargaining and arbitration processes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257047"} {"pmid": "10257048", "title": "Legal obstacles to alternative work-force designs.", "content": "Legal obstacles to alternative work-force designs.

health inequities and the American health care system. This paper examines the health care status of blacks in the American health care system and points out that blacks are burdened by a number of health inequities when compared to their white counterparts. The paper's central theme is that the degree of governmental commitment in a liberal, pluralistic society is at the foundation of inadequate health care for black Americans. Blacks lack input in the health care politics and decision/policy-making processes. This lack of input has resulted in a health care system that appears to be unresponsive to the health care needs of black Americans. This is most acute in the areas of health manpower planning and health planning. The conclusion suggests that an increase in the number of blacks in the health professions along with more black participation in health decision/policy-making could lead to a substantial improvement in the overall health care of blacks.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257158"} {"pmid": "10257160", "title": "Some challenges in the management of community health education.", "content": "Some challenges in the management of community health education.

Health Educators, due to frustration caused by inadequate role definition, may choose administration as a career as it is easier identified. Barriers to successful management can also be frustrating for the Health Educator, i.e., political constraints, lack of skills, etc. Planning should be a major activity of any Health Education program in order to ensure a successfully managed Health Education project.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257160"} {"pmid": "10257159", "title": "Relationship between accreditation status and hourly wages of medical record technicians.", "content": "Relationship between accreditation status and hourly wages of medical record technicians. Using data from a 1975 hospital wage survey conducted by the Industry Wage Division of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the relationship between accreditation status and hourly wages of 590 female full-time medical record technicians (MRTs) in four metropolitan areas was examined. Through multiple regression analysis, the hourly wages of Accredited Record Technicians were found to be $0.62 greater than those not accredited. Job location and hospital funding source also were related strongly to MRT hourly wages. Only 35 percent of the MRT's studied were accredited.

The annual cost of training a single family medicine resident may now exceed $50,000. This, together with the fact that normally only a small fraction of those applying for family medicine residency is selected for admission, creates a decision problem of enormous import to affected institutions. Despite these considerations, the applicant evaluation and selection process remains relatively subjective, with results often disappointing. In the current paper, a preference-based approach is proposed that first models the evaluation/selection process on the basis of well-defined cognitive and noncognitive criteria. It is suggested that validation of this model be based on future performance levels of both the accepted and rejected cohorts during and following their residencies. Discrepancies between future success levels and predicted outcomes may then be translated into appropriate control actions designed: (1) improve the definition/measurement of selection criteria; (2) enhance the evaluation/selection policies and decisions of the admissions committee; and (3) better inform potential applicants of the department's program and selection philosophies. The approach is applied to two recent, accepted cohorts of the University of North Carolina Department of Family Medicine. Preliminary results indicate that the procedure is capable of improving the in-residency success levels of selected applicants, and that these levels can be better predicted than when no formal, i.e., analytic, process is followed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257161"} {"pmid": "10257162", "title": "Postgraduate and continuing medical education in Finland.", "content": "Postgraduate and continuing medical education in Finland.

This study seeks to explain states' adoptions of programs in health planning and in physician education. It also seeks to further understanding of the impact of federal health planning and education programs on the states. Several theories and models are employed in analyzing the actions of state decision-makers. These include incremental theory, models of the diffusion of innovations, economic resources theory, and a theory of competitive partisanship. The data utilized in this research were principally derived from intensive interviews with \"key\" state actors and from historical, documentary materials. Only minimal federal impact appears on states' goals in physician education and health planning. Rather, there is evidence of considerable innovativeness among the states prior to Federal program initiatives. A problem-generated search for solutions seems to be a major source of this innovation.

A multifaceted personnel management and continuing education program specifically designed to provide job satisfaction for the pharmacy technician is described. Turnover among technicians is often higher than for other personnel categories. One interpretation of a high turnover rate is that it is a direct indication of job dissatisfaction and disillusionment on the part of technicians towards their career potential. Several approaches were initiated at the Rhode Island Hospital to increase job satisfaction among pharmacy technicians and to assist the pharmacy department in stabilizing this category to reflect a more satisfactory turnover rate. These were: (1) initiating a comprehensive continuing education program; (2) establishing a \"career ladder\" by developing an advanced level of pharmacy technicians; (3) incorporating technicians in a concept of participative management within the department; (4) increasing job responsibilities as new programs are developed; (5) rotating assignments and responsibilities to foster flexibility and interest. The programs enumerated have made a significant contribution toward increasing the stability and job satisfaction of the technician category.

During 1980 3.8 million women with deliveries were discharged from short-stay non-Federal hospitals in the United States. These women made up a sizable portion--9.9 percent--of all the discharges (excluding newborn infants) during that year. Women with deliveries remained hospitalized an average of 3.8 days and used 14.2 million days of inpatient hospital care. This was only 5.2 percent of the total days spent in hospitals by all patients discharged during the year. Most of the women who had a delivery were in their twenties, were white, and were married. The largest percent of deliveries occurred in the South Region, followed by the North Central, Northeast, and West Regions. The percent of women with deliveries was lowest in the smallest hospitals and highest in the largest hospitals. Most of the women with deliveries were discharged from nonprofit hospitals. About half of the women had a normal delivery and about half had some sort of complication. Women more likely to have a complicated delivery were older, were races other than white, had an unknown marital status, and had delivered in the South Region. These women also stayed in the hospital longer, on the average, than did women with normal delivery. The most frequently occurring complications were forceps or vacuum extraction without mention of indication and obstetrical trauma. Episiotomy was the most common procedure. Other frequently performed procedures were low forceps or vacuum extraction with or without episiotomy, cesarean section, repair of obstetric laceration, and bilateral destruction or occlusion of fallopian tubes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257285"} {"pmid": "10257286", "title": "Blood pressure levels and hypertension in persons ages 6-74 years: United States, 1976-80.",

The participants in the programme attend the Diabetic Education Centre (DEC) for one week as day patients in the hospital and are exposed to various types of counselling from members of the Diabetic Education Centre Team (DECT), one of which is the pharmacist. Follow-up from this week of intensive education is made at annual intervals. The main purpose of the pharmacist in the clinic is to provide information for the patients regarding their prescriptions and over the counter (OTC) medication. This is achieved by means of individual patient interviews and informal group discussions, as well as rounds with other team members and contact with patients' families. This programme provides a forum for the patient and the patient's family to obtain valid information about diabetes, as well as problems associated with the disease, and aids in coping with these problems.

In the past few years, \"accountability\" for public mental health programs has become differentiated in the minds of not only program evaluators, but also program managers and funders, including state and local-level legislators. Increasingly, these officials are becoming concerned with more than just the numbers and targets of services delivered, and the cost involved, and are looking for evidence of positive outcome or impact on clients to justify program implementation and maintenance. This represents a significant move beyond the two accountability models that most recently seemed to be the focus of most formal accountability efforts--performance measurement and quality assurance. Pressures for implementing these two alternatives seem to have been reduced somewhat by the new federal Administration, but even prior to its advent there had been a rapid escalation in awareness of and concern for client outcome measurement among important audiences, including state and local mental health policy-makers and the U.S. Congress. This presents a major new opportunity and challenge for program evaluators at this new accountability focus continues to gather momentum.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257369"} {"pmid": "10257370", "title": "Enhancing program review for evaluation and management.", "content": "Enhancing program review for evaluation and management.

As a result of the authors' experience in conducting an evaluation of the community support system (CSS) program in New York State, they have identified five reasons for focusing on quality of life (QOL) as a desired outcome for programs for the chronically ill. These reasons are presented and problems in QOL evaluative research are discussed. Psychological indicators are distinguished from social indicators of QOL, and two methods of operationalizing perceived QOL, the psychological well-being and life domains methods, are examined. A conceptual model is presented and the results of an exploratory study of the QOL of 118 chronic psychiatric patients receiving CSS services are presented.", "url":

Ten years ago, decision analysis was still an experimental management technique. But even then supporters claimed that eventually it would become for the manager what calculus is to the engineer. According to the authors of this article, decision analysis that incorporates personal judgment has not yet become what some expected, but it has, nonetheless, gained acceptance in many large corporations and government departments. One of the reasons for this acceptance is the greater flexibility and sensitivity of decision analysis to managers' needs than earlier forms had. In other words, today's decision analysis techniques can better take into account the people, the politics, the time pressures, and all the messy but critical factors that managers have to contend with. In this article, the authors describe three major forms of decision analysis and show how real managers have used decision tree analysis, probabilistic forecasting, and multiattribute analysis to solve real business problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257404"} {"pmid": "10257438", "title": "Aim for excellence in medical records approach.", "content": "Aim for excellence in medical records approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257438"} {"pmid": "10257445", "title": "CLN eases transition to computer system.", "content": "CLN eases transition to computer system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257445"} {"pmid": "10257403", "title": "Consulting is more than giving advice.", "content": "Consulting is more than giving advice. Of all the relationships that executives enter into with outsiders, perhaps none is so tainted by misunderstanding as the engagement of management consultants. To executives, consultants may seem concerned mainly with prolonging their assignments and unable to appreciate the practicalities of managerial issues. Conversely, consultants may see their clients as short-sighted and lacking the backbone necessary to make important decisions. How can such stereotypes be done away with? By starting at the beginning of the assignment. Mr. Turner maintains that if managers and outside advisers work out in advance what is expected of each party during their work together, the chances of solving problems are improved. He suggests that managers and consultants structure the engagement according to a hierarchy of goals--which proceeds from the most basic objective, providing information, to the most sophisticated, permanent improvement of organizational effectiveness. The best way to move up that hierarchy is for executives and advisers to work together to identify needs and develop solutions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257403"} {"pmid": "10257440", "title": "Michigan, Ohio Blues revive preadmission certification.", "content": "Michigan, Ohio Blues revive preadmission certification.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257440"} {"pmid": "10257446", "title": "Community awareness key to home care program's success.", "content": "Community awareness key to home care program's success.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257446"} {"pmid": "10257447", "title": "1973-1983: value impacts of a decade.", "content": "1973-1983: value impacts of a decade.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257447"} {"pmid": "10257441", "title": "Are pacemakers being overutilized in your hospital?", "content": "Are pacemakers being overutilized in your hospital?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257441"} {"pmid": "10257444", "title": "Recovery room staffing demands accordance with JCAH standards.", "content": "Recovery room staffing demands accordance with JCAH standards.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257444"} {"pmid": "10257442", "title": "Nurse screening of death charts makes procedure more fruitful.", "content": "Nurse screening of death charts makes procedure more fruitful.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257442"} {"pmid": "10257416", "title": "Hospital health education/promotion programs: long-range planning and marketing strategies.", "content": "Hospital health education/promotion programs: long-range planning and marketing strategies.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257416"} {"pmid": "10257443", "title": "Systematic follow-up aids discharge planners and nurses.", "content": "Systematic follow-up aids discharge planners and nurses.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257443"} {"pmid": "10257405", "title": "The hospital capital crisis: issues for trustees.", "content": "The hospital capital crisis: issues for trustees. The erosion of the capital position in the hospital industry--one of the most complex and overregulated industries in the United States--is a major challenge to trustees. Hospital trustees have often neglected to examine their hospitals' capital needs on more than a project-by-project basis. In dealing with their hospitals' capital needs, trustees, most of whom are successful business people, too often take off their \"business\" hats and put on their \"social worker\" hats. In doing so they not only neglect to subject their hospitals' capital and operating programs to searching cost-benefit review, but they also overlook much useful knowledge about how to use corporate organization to shelter new ventures and strengthen their hospitals' market position and solvency.

Constituency analysis can identify the constellations of social and political power that sustain existing opportunities for fraud and abuse, and those that will support countermeasures.

But more important than obtaining good early estimates is maintaining an effective control over actual disaster relief expenditures. As it turns out, the more effective systems of control usually go hand in hand with poorer early estimates, creating a dilemma for the management for disaster relief.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257572"} {"pmid": "10257575", "title": "Crisis management: how to turn disasters into advantages.", "content": "Crisis management: how to turn disasters into advantages.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257575"} {"pmid": "10257573", "title": "Burdine: sex discrimination, promotion, and arbitration.", "content": "Burdine: sex discrimination, promotion, and arbitration.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257573"} {"pmid": "10257574", "title": "The value of assertiveness in interpersonal communication.", "content": "The value of assertiveness in interpersonal communication.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257574"} {"pmid": "10257576", "title": "Warning: traditional employee attitude surveys don't work.", "content": "Warning: traditional employee attitude surveys don't work.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257576"} {"pmid": "10257578", "title": "Federal Trade Commission brings suit against Hospital Corporation of America.", "content": "Federal Trade Commission brings suit against Hospital Corporation of America.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257578"} {"pmid": "10257581", "title": "St. Luke's in Jacksonville, Florida constructing replacement hospital.", "content": "St. Luke's in Jacksonville, Florida constructing replacement hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257581"} {"pmid": "10257577", "title": "There is no motivational magic.", "content": "There is no motivational magic.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257577"} {"pmid": "10257579", "title": "Assigning dollar figure to linen costs is best way to reach administrators.", "content": "Assigning dollar figure to linen costs is best way to reach administrators.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257579"} {"pmid": "10257580", "title": "Blended uniforms need special care.", "content": "Blended uniforms need special care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257580"} {"pmid": "10257564", "title": "Planning for hazardous waste management.", "content": "Planning for hazardous waste management.

In the present study, the effects of acute objective stress on subjective stress and on psychological and physiological strain were assessed among 39 first-year nursing students in an interrupted time series with multiple replications. Strain was measured five times, twice in anticipation of CJE interspersed by three low-stress occasions. The CJEs were providing the first comprehensive patient care and the final exam in nursing. A consistently confirmatory pattern of significantly rising and falling strain was found for anxiety, systolic blood pressure, and pulse rate: qualitative overload and serum uric acid changed as predicted four times out of five.

Evaluation is a many faceted, rapidly developing process which is held together by a common theme: A practical orientation toward using social programs. That practical orientation can be understood in three ways: as a total evaluation system, as a technological endeavor, or as a social research effort that has the intent of being useful as evaluation. There are three basic elements to good evaluation: validity, utility, and theory. Validity and utility must be understood in terms of specific threats to their integrity. The salience of those threats shifts with the context of evaluation activity. Theory is important because powerful evaluation designs cannot be developed, nor can results be interpreted, without an understanding of the dynamics of program action. Each aspect of evaluation--validity, utility and theory--must be considered relative to four aspects of prevention which pose particular impediments to the conduct of evaluation. Those special characteristics are: the need to mass target prevention programs, the problem of treating people who have not yet manifested symptoms, difficulties in ascertaining when prevention will be most useful, and the need to evaluate prevention programs with long term observation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257638"} {"pmid": "10257649", "title": "Communicate better with your patients.", "content": "Communicate better with your patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257649"} {"pmid": "10257637", "title": "Federal regulations and the lives of children in day care.", "content": "Federal regulations and the lives of children in day care. The National Day Care Study investigated relationships between regulatable characteristics of day care centers--in particular, staff/child ratios, group size, and staff qualifications--and the costs and quality of care experienced by preschool children, especially children from low-income families in federally subsidized care. The study found that group size, the total number of children in a classroom, was associated with several measures of the quality of the social environment and of children's development. In small groups, as opposed to large, children were more cooperative, more likely to engage in spontaneous verbalization and creative/intellectual activities, and less likely to wander aimlessly or be uninvolved in activities. They also made more rapid gains on standardized tests of cognitive and linguistic growth. The study further found that caregivers with education or training specifically related to young children showed a relatively high degree of social interaction with children (praising, comforting, responding, questioning, and instructing) and that children in their care made relatively rapid gains on standardized tests. Staff/child ratios were related to some aspects of caregiver behavior, but these relationships were less consistently indicative of quality than those exhibited by group size or caregiver education/training. Because the latter characteristics are relatively low-cost components of day care, the study concluded that the federal government could buy better care at lower cost by giving them greater emphasis in its purchasing standards.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257637"} {"pmid": "10257650", "title": "Are high fees denying people health care?", "content": "Are high fees denying people health care?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257650"} {"pmid": "10257646", "title": "Gerontology, geriatrics and the physiotherapist.", "content": "Gerontology, geriatrics and the physiotherapist.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257646"} {"pmid": "10257651", "title": "A doctor uses videotapes to educate patients.", "content": "A doctor uses videotapes to educate patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257651"} {"pmid": "10257647", "title": "Health care facilities certification: \"a review & interpretation\".", "content": "Health care facilities certification: \"a review & interpretation\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257647"} {"pmid": "10257652", "title": "Picking the best malpractice coverage.", "content": "Picking the best malpractice coverage.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257652"} {"pmid": "10257654", "title": "Community health centers: making health care less expensive and more accessible.", "content": "Community health centers: making health care less expensive and more accessible.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257654"} {"pmid": "10257653", "title": "Private management of California county hospitals: expectations and performance.", "content": "Private management of California county hospitals: expectations and performance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257653"} {"pmid": "10257655", "title": "The post-hospital adjustment of psychiatric patients: a six-month follow-up survey.", "content": "The post-hospital adjustment of psychiatric patients: a six-month follow-up survey.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257655"} {"pmid": "10257656", "title": "Outcome evaluation: measuring change over time.", "content": "Outcome evaluation: measuring change over time.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257656"} {"pmid": "10257658", "title": "Suicide in a psychiatric population.", "content": "Suicide in a psychiatric population.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257658"} {"pmid": "10257657", "title": "Duration of hospitalization as a variable in outcome.", "content": "Duration of hospitalization as a variable in outcome.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257657"} {"pmid": "10257660", "title": "Prevention in mental health: organizational and ideological perspectives.", "content": "Prevention in mental health: organizational and ideological perspectives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10257660"} {"pmid": "10257659", "title": "Medical care, living conditions, and children's well-being.", "content": "Medical care, living conditions, and children's well-being.

We find that families in the higher social classes and families that function well tend to go to large prepaid groups where they receive good medical care. High quality technical care of illness, in turn, improves physical health. The quality of psychotherapeutic care, on the other hand, has no effect on psychological well-being.

We found that: (1) whites make a relatively larger proportion of preventive care visits than Mexican-Americans, who made proportionately more preventive health care visits than blacks. The difference between whites and blacks was statistically significant (p less than .05). (2) When socioeconomic levels were held constant, as measured by insurance categories, no ethnic differences in preventive vs episodic health care visits were found. (3) On the other hand significant differences in such health care behavior emerged when indices of family structure and employment were isolated.

Although adaptations were diverse and appeared anomalous, they are elucidated by considering the hospitals' antecedent strategies, structures, ideologies, and stockpiles of slack resources. Assessments of the primacy of the antecedents suggest that ideological and strategic variables are better predictors of adaptations to jolts than are structural variables or measures of organizational slack. Although abrupt changes in environments are commonly thought to jeopardize organizations, environmental jolts are found to be ambiguous events that offer propitious opportunities for organizational

Experimental studies of the American Psychological Association/CHAMPUS program. Two factorial experiments examined the effects of reviewer theoretical orientation, documented treatment progress, and patient concurrence data on the peer review of clinical treatment reports that described long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy with a depressed, female outpatient. The experiments employed an unobtrusive methodology; peer reviewers believed that their evaluations would affect the disposition of actual mental health insurance claims. Subjects (n = 105) were American Psychological Association/Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) peer reviewers of a psychodynamic, behavioral, or eclectic theoretical orientation. The psychodynamic reviewers, compared with the behavioral and eclectic reviewers, were more positive in their ratings of treatment and more generous in their future care reimbursement recommendations. Additionally, the data demonstrated that APA/CHAMPUS peer review was sensitive to reported treatment progress, and that reviewers of diverse orientations were equally responsive to documented progress in psychodynamic psychotherapy. The patient concurrence manipulation had little effect on the dependent measures.

If the pharmacy could assure that an admixture has not been altered in any way, it could be redispensed. Tamper-Proof Safety Caps have been placed over the additive port of Viaflex minibags after preparation, thereby rendering it impossible for further additions to be made, and therefore these admixtures can be reused for a different patient. The Department of Pharmaceutical Services has begun to recycle admixtures and has experienced an annual cost savings in 1981 of $64,512. The cost of the program for the protective caps was $17,810.

In developing the kit, two target groups have been identified--the primary group, the parents; the transmitter group, the educators. The kit includes question booklets at the bedside that encourage mothers to ask questions; resource cards for health professionals that facilitate consistency in information giving; information sheets to provide concise information on topics that cover detailed information or emotional areas; four slide-tape shows on breastfeeding and a coloring book for siblings.

Low protein diets are used to treat infants and children with hyperammonemia due to urea cycle and other metabolic disorders as well as a number of amino and organic acidopathies. The incidence of these disorders is small and many are life-threatening. As a result, there is little in the literature on the dietary management of these patients. This paper draws on 10 years of clinical experience at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario and presents a guide to the preparation of infant formulas providing levels of protein intake from 0.5 to 2.0 g per kg. Also described is a low protein equivalency system that is a useful guide for measuring both baby foods and table foods for affected children up to about six years of age.

Harvey Poppel discusses the results and points out that many of the frustrating, unproductive activities that the study revealed could be reduced by the appropriate mix of new office systems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258238"} {"pmid": "10258251", "title": "Restrictive covenants: are they legal?", "content": "Restrictive covenants: are they legal?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258251"} {"pmid": "10258252", "title": "Today's organizational structuring trends.", "content": "Today's organizational structuring trends.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258252"} {"pmid": "10258253", "title": "Agency extends support services, spearheads association's birth as home care continues expansion.", "content": "Agency extends support services, spearheads association's birth as home care continues expansion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258253"} {"pmid": "10258254", "title": "Non-profit tax expert provides insight into home health agency financial situation, restructuring.", "content": "Non-profit tax expert provides insight into home health agency financial situation, restructuring.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258254"} {"pmid": "10258239", "title": "Building depreciation: which method pays off?", "content": "Building depreciation: which method pays off?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258239"} {"pmid": "10258255", "title": "Community benefits from hospital, home health agency co-op.", "content": "Community benefits from hospital, home health agency co-op.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258255"} {"pmid": "10258240", "title": "An unmanaged computer system can stop you dead.", "content": "An unmanaged computer system can stop you dead. Many businesses today are discovering that technology alone will not ensure the success of their information systems. In fact, the growing availability of computer-driven technology has made it harder for many companies to keep pace, and some have already fallen behind. Complicating this grim picture is a growing shortage of trained personnel. Such serious problems jeopardize not only the computer systems but the very existence of some companies, says Brandt Allen.

Such classes are neither convenient nor accessible to all COPD patients, however, especially those in rural areas. A self-teaching module could be a practical means of serving hard-to-reach patients. This study compares the results of a self-teaching module with those of an established group method in teaching 13 self-care skills to COPD patients. On referral from their physicians, patients in eight rural locations were randomly assigned to receive training through a group or a self-teaching process. Knowledge gain, skill attainment, skill implementation, and beneficial results were measured at the end of instruction and again six months later. The two teaching methods were compared by analyzing the data on 34 patients matched for the variables of smoking, diagnosis, and severity of disease. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two educational methods in any of the parameters measured. The fact that approximately three out of four patients benefited through either process suggests that the self-teaching module is as effective as group instruction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258418"} {"pmid": "10258419", "title": "Social networks and health status: linking theory, research, and practice.", "content": "Social networks and health status: linking theory, research, and practice.

Stigma, a special discrepancy between virtual and actual social identity, reduces a patient's self-esteem and fosters a feeling of dependence on others for care. Anxiety related to diagnosis and illness creates a situation in which patients cannot productively learn. The stages in acceptance of diagnosis provide a roadmap for understanding a patient's feelings/psychological processes and insight into opportunities to intervene with patient education.

In addition, the procedures permit one to model environmental and managerially controllable stimuli as they constrain and influence consumer choice. Limitations of the procedures are discussed and related to existing approaches.

The purpose of the study was to quantify a therapist's nontreatment activities, and to compare observations concerning treatment with the work sampling data obtained in compliance with the Canadian Schedule of Unit Values and, in particular, its weighted units. The study showed that there was no difference between the \"observed\" time (sampling time in percentage of total time) spent in direct patient contact, and the weighted units, when the latter was converted to a percentage of time. The Nova Scotia government's standard of 50 000 work units per year was found to be useful in justifying staffing levels; a useful indicator of productivity was also developed using weighted units expressed as a percentage of worked or paid hours.

Rather than analyzing the satisfaction items separately, the investigators used factor analysis to search for underlying structures in the responses. The principal component analysis indicated that there were four discrete patterns of covariation in the responses, and the resulting factors were labelled \"professional interests,\" \"patient care\", \"supervision\" and \"work conditions\", in accordance with the content of the items grouped into each factor. The combination of these cores plus the results of a global ranking of the profession indicated a consistently high level of overall satisfaction on the part of the CPA therapists. As for characteristics and career patterns, the female CPA members appeared to move in an out of professional practice while the male members pursued careers. The reasons for the low level of professional satisfaction on the part of an albeit small minority of physiotherapists were found to be associated with dissatisfaction with working conditions.

A highly significant association is noted between the frequency of diagnostic radiological examinations and the relative level of funding in the English Regional Health Authorities as calculated by the Resource Allocation Working Party in 1977 (DHSS, 1976). It is argued that this supports the recommendations of the Resource Allocation Working Party, and their suggestion that Standardized Mortality Ratios can be used as a proxy measure for morbidity. The finding implies that the level of diagnostic radiology is likely to rise if more funds become available, and this conclusion is supported by consideration of the level of diagnostic radiology in other industrialized countries.

The term post-marketing surveillance is a term which should be applied to all forms of monitoring marketed drugs for all aspects of their potential to produce adverse reactions. Post-marketing surveillance to identify dangers arising from the use of medicinal products is undertaken to detect both pharmaceutical and medical hazards. Pharmaceutical hazards are sought by sampling products for evidence of contamination, mislabelling and loss of potency. Four methods currently used for the detection of medical hazards are:--(1) Quality tests, performed on batches of new products which cannot be fully evaluated by physical or chemical means (eg vaccines and blood products). (2) The \"yellow card system\", in which the Committee on Safety of Medicines asks doctors spontaneously to report all suspected adverse reactions to drugs. (3) Monitoring the release of a new drug, which is subject to certain restrictions that oblige doctors to feed back information to the regulatory authority. (4) Literature screening, which must be regarded as important in any comprehensive scheme of post-marketing surveillance. In addition two further methods of surveillance are described under (5) and (6):--(5) Local investigations such as intensive monitoring studies on patients receiving a particular treatment in a district general hospital or in its catchment area have been conducted in a number of centres and are cheap and successful and generate local interest and co-operation.

Some managers, at least managers of one-fifth of the labor force, are resolving this contradiction with an elegantly simple solution. They are installing some version of alternative work schedules: flexitime, permanent part-time jobs, job sharing, compressed workweeks, and work sharing, which give employees more control over their professional and personal lives and give employers, for instance in an economic downturn, a way, a way to keep experienced workers on the job without straining budgets. The authors of this article, both of whom have helped develop alternative work schedules, describe the five forms and how numerous employers across the country are adapting them to their purposes.

Although these objectives necessitated a large sample size and a complex instrument, the costs and timeliness of telephone interviewing enabled the survey objectives to be reached. This paper discusses the advantages of telephone interviewing, as well as biases inherent in its use. The magnitude of the bias from the omission of nontelephone households is assessed, and the results confirm that the omission of nontelephone households introduces only minor biases into estimates for the total working-age population.

Research conducted by Pamela Garretson, systems and procedures analyst at Hughes Aircraft Company's Ground Systems Group, and Kenneth S. Teel, professor of human resources management at California State University at Long Beach, suggests that (1) such interviews are, for the most part, conducted by personnel department staff members during the employee's last week on the job, (2) too often, organizations fail to make any use of the information obtained during the interview, and (3) little effort is made to compute turnover costs even though turnover is generally recognized as being expensive.

Family doctors have asserted their capability to handle some eighty percent of all medical problems coming to their offices and to handle medical problems of all ages and both sexes. Internists have expressed similarly wide-ranging roles in adult medicine and are seeking greater recognition for special diagnostic skills. With this trend as background, the American Academy of Pediatricians has announced its new three-year program to seat the specialty of pediatrics as not \"just baby doctors,\" but as physicians to fill the \"health care vacuum\" for \"young people 12 to 18 years of age and to close the cracks in health care for adolescents who often \"pass through these important developmental years without adequate medical counseling or guidance.\"", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258933"} {"pmid": "10258934", "title": "Asymptomatic gonorrhea: selective screening and guidelines for identification of high risk patients.", "content": "Asymptomatic gonorrhea: selective screening and guidelines for identification of high risk patients. As recently as 1980, gonorrhea ranked first among communicable diseases in the U.S.A. More alarming was the fact that 75 to 80 percent of infected females were reported to be asymptomatic. As more of these asymptomatic individuals were discovered, the tendency to do routine gonococcal screening in women increased. Of late, however, the trend to abstain from doing routine gonococcal screening has become more evident because of the low yield of positive cultures in the majority of the population screened. The St. Joseph's Medical Center is a single residency (Family Practice) teaching hospital serving the community of Yonkers, N.Y. The St. Joseph's Family Health Center serves as the model unit where our residents work and is also the main outpatient facility of the hospital.

Recently, there has been much emphasis on the value of \"Therapeutic Drug Monitoring\" (TDM). TDM includes clinical attention to the appropriateness, efficacy, side effects and toxicity of drug usage as it relates to the pharmacokinetics of the drug in the patient. The goal of TDM is to optimize drug therapy in each patient through the appropriate choice, dose and monitoring of drug use. The Drug Measurement Service (DMS) at St. Paul's Hospital is a cooperative venture of the departments of medicine, laboratories and pharmacy. The main function of the DMS is TDM. Also, the service educates staff physicians, residents and interns in the proper use and interpretation of serum drug levels. This will make future drug level measurements more beneficial to the patient. This paper outlines the need for a TDM service, the structure and activities of the service, the materials and methods used, and the basic pharmacokinetics and dosing recommendations of the first drug monitored (theophylline). The results of the first six months' experience are presented and discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10258990"} {"pmid": "10258991", "title": "The 1982 Lilly Lecture.

Using data (N = 2029) gathered as part of a major epidemiologic study in the southeastern United States, the authors examine the relationships among depressive symptoms, social support, stressful life events, and socioeconomic status. As anticipated, direct effects were found for social support, stressful life events, and socioeconomic status upon depressive symptoms. However, when the data were analyzed via three-way analysis of variance and multiple regression (including all possible interaction terms) analysis, no statistically significant interactive effects were found. The authors conclude that these findings clearly demonstrate direct effects of social support and stressful life events upon depressive symptoms. Respondents in the lower social support groups experience the greatest impact of stressful life events; in contrast, persons in high social support groups, although evidencing increased symptom scores with increasing numbers of life events, experience the buffering effect of social support by showing less severe distress.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259110"} {"pmid": "10259111", "title": "Social indicators and social structure.", "content": "Social indicators and social structure.

The major question was, \"What are the long-term physical, psychological, and behavioral effects on overweight and formerly overweight individuals involved in helping other persons manage their weight?\" Data gathered at 12 and 24 months post-training revealed few differences between the total group of specialists and persons in the two control groups. However, when the data were analyzed by the amount of commitment to the specialist role, it was found that the Higher Involved Specialists (N = 16; those who led two or more weight management groups in the year posttraining) were significantly more likely to lose additional weight (or maintain earlier weight losses), to be more consistent in their adherence to the eating and activity levels advocated by the program, to feel better about themselves and their bodies, and to maintain their levels of general well-being than control subjects or the Lesser Involved Specialists.

By carefully investigating these factors as they relate to the many computer systems available, the buyer can reach a logical decision and anticipate a successful installation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259160"} {"pmid": "10259165", "title": "Who's really pulling the strings on health policy?", "content": "Who's really pulling the strings on health policy?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259165"} {"pmid": "10259168", "title": "Why doctors shun nursing homes.", "content": "Why doctors shun nursing homes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259168"} {"pmid": "10259166", "title": "The OBG standoff: more babies vs. more doctors.", "content": "The OBG standoff: more babies vs. more doctors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259166"} {"pmid": "10259167", "title": "Pulling the plug: could you be charged with murder?", "content": "Pulling the plug: could you be charged with murder?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259167"} {"pmid": "10259169", "title": "Blood banks move to bar AIDs carriers.", "content": "Blood banks move to bar AIDs carriers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259169"} {"pmid": "10259161", "title": "Systems sophistication through mutual agreement.", "content": "Systems sophistication through mutual agreement.

This article examines the extent to which differences exist in the relative degree of discretion permitted by the statutory mandates under which health risk assessments are conducted as a basis for regulatory action. Attention is focused on the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration, because they are the lead federal regulatory agencies on most environmental health matters. The statutes are found to define risk, consider effects, identify target populations, and use benefit-cost analysis in a flexible way. But the burden of proof of risk typically is assigned in a more direct and stringent fashion. Overall, however, agencies are found to have substantial discretion in the manner in which risk assessments are incorporated into the policy process.

Orsametrics, the science of data and measurement appropriate to decision-making models, was proposed by H. M. Wagner in 1971. This paper proposes an orsametric measuring the distance between the current distribution of minorities in the organization and the worst distribution that minorities could have, given a specified proportion of minorities present in the organization. Measurement of this distance via the absolute value norm leads to a constrained model in which a convex, absolute-value functional must be maximized.

Specifically, a survey of 20 questions has been developed to assess (1) patient's attitudes and psychosocial outlook, (2) patient's self-perception. (3) situation generated feelings and (4) family/support group generated feelings. The comparative results of this experiment may indicate (1) the overall emotional status of hospitalized patients relative to non-hospitalized individuals and (2) the general psychosocial effectiveness of the hospital system (in the greater Iowa City.

These two methods were compared with each other as well as with an initial time span during which no influencing efforts were made. The effect of the pharmacy newsletter as a sole means of influencing physician prescribing of parenteral cephalosporins was minimal. The effect of pharmacist-physician interaction, either as a sole means of in conjunction with a pharmacy newsletter, resulted in an increased use of cefazolin.

Compares characteristics of teenage patients attracted to a traditional family planning clinic and an adolescent oriented clinic, and studies the success of each in promoting contraceptive use. Data were collected from 2 clinics operating in the same physical site in an urban hospital. The traditional family planning clinic (Day Clinic) serves both teenage and older women. The Young Adult Clinic (YAC) serves only patients 21 or younger and operates 2 evenings a week. The 2 clinics have an overlapping staff and medical services are identical in each, except that patients of the YAC are offered counseling, and admission to the clinic is simplified. The data from each clinic covers 2 years. Results show that the most important difference between the clinics is that the YAC attracts 3 1/2 times as many teens as the Day Clinic. Different background characteristics of the patients account for differences in contraceptive method utilization, revisit patterns, and pregnancy rates within the 2 clinics, rather than clinic differences. YAC patients are likely to be younger, and less likely to have been pregnant before. Thus, the YAC offers more of an opportunity for primary prevention of pregnancy. The authors concluded that the major benefit of offering an adolescent only evening clinic lies in its ability to attract young women who might not otherwise receive services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259516"} {"pmid": "10259517", "title": "Characteristics of outpatient room utilization.", "content": "Characteristics of outpatient room utilization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259517"} {"pmid": "10259518", "title": "Patient care delivery in nursing homes: legal issues for owners and administrators.

Vaill maintains that clarifying an organization's purposes is a prominent feature of all high-performing systems (HPSs). He defines HPSs as human systems that are doing dramatically better than other systems as measured by one or more criteria. Ten years' research on such systems is summarized in eight broad categories: (1) clarity of purposes, (2) member motivation, (3) teamwork, (4) leadership, (5) technology and innovation, (6) boundedness from the environment, (7) relationship to the environment, and (8) the unique ways in which the system \"jells.\" HPSs are treated as unusually fertile settings for understanding how leaders of human systems engage in what is called \"purposing\"--a continuous stream of actions that has the effect of inducing clarity, consensus, and commitment regarding the organization's basic purposes. The article explores the personal qualities that enable HPS leaders to define and maintain a clear sense of purpose among all systems members. Three major characteristics are ascribed to such leaders: (1) the willingness to invest large amounts of time in the system, both in the sense of hour-to-hour and day-to-day time and in the sense of year-to-year and even decade-to-decade time; (2) the ability to develop and express deep feeling about the system, its purposes, the people in it, its history, and its future; and (3) the ability to focus on the issues and variables in the system that really make a difference in its performance. This is the Time-Feeling-Focus theory of HPS leadership.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259586"} {"pmid": "10259576", "title": "Cost cutting.

The amount of information that should be processed to reach a rational solution is so vast that it overwhelms our limited memory and analytic capacity. To grapple at all with real problems, we must shrink them to mind size. As Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon has suggested, we must learn to \"satisfice.\" Using examples and a case history of managerial succession, Agnew and Brown demonstrate the importance of nonrational factors in decision making. \"Skyhooks,\" their first major concept, are composed of an individual's strong beliefs and biases that appear almost as acts of faith without any obvious foundation. They help the exceptional executive operate on a limited set of alternatives. But while skyhooks give direction, they do not provide the means to reach a destination. Simpler conceptual models, or \"walking sticks,\" are necessary to cover the rocky trails. Agnew and Brown offer four walking sticks that can be applied to managerial succession problems. The first walking stick considers executive decision making in three parts--nonrational, semirational, and rational--and covers the conditions in which each component comes into play. The second helps examine human resources as fixed or fluid and as assets or liabilities to develop a schema for manpower accounting in executive succession. Playing vs. talking a good executive game is the topic for walking stick three. The concern here is to distinguish the real players--who can manage systems--from the mere talkers, who can manage only fragments of systems. The fourth walking stick draws on the law of resource gravitation and crystallization, a law with implications for trainers: You can't fashion management training to fit all comers; instead, you must tailor it to what the trainees already are and know.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259587"} {"pmid": "10259588", "title": "Quality of work life: perspectives and directions.", "content": "Quality of work life: perspectives and directions. The values that quality of work life (QWL) has brought to the workplace are in danger of being lost, say authors Nadler and Lawler; to avert this danger, they debunk several \"definitions\" of the concept that miss the point, give it a precise definition, and spell out ways to use it successfully. They delineate six factors that they believe separate more successful from less successful QWL efforts. The first success factor is a perception of need--that is, in successful efforts organization members actually perceive a problem. Second, the problem is salient to the organization. Third, a structure for participation is created. Fourth, rewards are provided both for the processes and for the outcomes of QWL activities. Fifth, multiple levels of management are involved. And, finally, QWL involves all organization members in a way that avoids \"we-they\" rivalries. With these factors in mind, the authors conclude that three major components of QWL efforts must be managed well if they are to succeed: (1) development of projects at different levels; (2) changes in management systems and structure; and (3) changes in senior management behavior--that is, if the QWL effort is to be credible to organization members, there must be some specific, tangible QWL activity in which senior managers participate.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259588"} {"pmid": "10259574", "title": "EEO: watch your next step.", "content": "EEO: watch your next step.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259574"} {"pmid": "10259589", "title": "The controller's role in management.", "content": "The controller's role in management. A controller has two apparently contradictory responsibilities: (1) the management service responsibility of ensuring that specialist knowledge and expertise get proper consideration when business decisions and actions are taken, and (2) the custodial and monitoring responsibility of ensuring the accuracy of financial reporting and the integrity of internal control. The apparent contradiction is that the first responsibility requires active involvement in management while the second calls for a sense of independence from affiliated management. Sathe stresses that \"strong\" controllers overcome this dilemma by developing certain interpersonal skills. Such \"strong\" controllers thus have access to sensitive information and deliberations in progress--an access that permits them to take before-the-fact actions that stop ill-conceived, ill-advised, or illegal decisions before they are taken. A controller who is not actively involved in decision making is not privy to such information and can exert only after-the-fact or reactive control.

He also cites the United States's historical response to its resource position as a source of our present economic difficulties.

Four groups of undergraduate students performed a job comprised of three tasks under varying degrees of autonomy while measures of performance, \"perceptions\" of task properties, and other self-reports were obtained.

Two dimensions of initiated task interdependence and received task interdependence are developed as multidimensional concepts, each being made up of the elements of scope, resources, and criticality. A distinction is made between the two psychological states of experienced responsibility for one's own work and personal outcomes, and experienced responsibility for others' (dependents') work and personal outcomes for whom one initiates task interdependence. Autonomy is hypothesized to be related only to experienced responsibility for one's own work outcomes while initiated task interdependence is related to experienced responsibility for others' work outcomes. Initiated interdependence is also hypothesized to be positively related to the affective positive work and personal outcomes, while received task interdependence is negatively related to these variables. New subscales for the measurements of these constructs are developed and reliability and validity coefficients are reported. The substantive results give support to the motivating potential of initiated task interdependence.

Despite the fact that favorable selection enhances their ability to compete with FFS insurers, the model predicts that HMOs maximize profits at less than 100% market share, and at a lower share than they could conceivably capture. That is, HMOs would not find it to their advantage to drive FFS insurers from the market even if they could. In all cases, however, the profit-maximizing HMO premium is greater than the experience-rated premium and, thus, the average health insurance premium per employee in firms offering both HMOs and FFS insurance is predicted to be greater than in firms offering one experience-rated plan. The model may be used to simulate the effects of varying the employer's method of contributing to health insurance premiums. Several contribution methods are compared. Employers who offer FFS and HMO insurance and pay the full cost of the lowest-cost plan are predicted to have lower average total premiums (employer plus employee contributions) than employers who pay any level percent of the cost of each plan.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259642"} {"pmid": "10259643", "title": "Application of multi-attribute utility theory to measure social preferences for health states.", "content": "Application of multi-attribute utility theory to measure social preferences for health states.

When conducting inferential and epidemiologic studies, researchers are often interested in the distribution of time until the occurrence of some specified event, a form of incidence calculation. Furthermore, this interest often extends to the effects of intervening factors on this distribution. In this paper we impose the assumption that the phenomena being investigated are governed by a stationary Markov chain and review how one may estimate the above distribution. We then introduce and relate two different methods of investigating the effects of intervening factors. In particular, we show how an investigator may evaluate the effect of potential intervention programs. Finally, we demonstrate the proposed methodology using data from a population study. In an effort to determine whether a prespecified response occurs more frequently among those persons who exhibit a certain risk, biological and epidemiological investigations often assess the relationship between risk factors (e.g., personal or demographic variables) and response factors (e.g., development of disease). Researchers frequently will investigate more than the initial risk and response; they will consider intervening variables. 2 ways of incorporating intervening variables--as either subsequent or antecedent factors--are investigated in this discussion. Noting that traditional epidemiological approaches to both methods of intervening variable analysis frequently exert an unreasonable large data demand, it is shown how a Markov chain (MC) may be used to significantly reduce the data requirements. It is assumed that the underlying process is a stationary (time homogeneous) MC. Formal analytic definitions of both types (antecedent and subsequent) of intervening variable analyses are presented, and a relationship is derived between them. It is shown how researchers may conduct both analyses, as well as the ordinary (nonintervening variable) analysis, using functions of the MC transition matrix. All analyses demand only sufficient data either to estimate the transition matrix or to modify an existing matrix; none requires the subgroup specific data required by traditional epidemiologic approaches (e.g., direct incidence measures). To illustrate these concepts, a numerical example is presented using a MC from a study of induced abortion. The MC was submitted to formal goodness of fit tests to verify the Markov property (Shachtman et al.). Alternatively, depending on the application the researcher may prefer to employ structural assumption validation, accept the model as a reasonable approximation to the empirical process under study, or \"internally\" validate the property by examining functions of the transition matrix and seeing if these functions replicate equivalent empirical distribution functions derived directly from the underlying data. Possibly the most important aspect of this approach is that by developing stochastic models, e.g., Markov chain models, and using these conditional rates, researchers may perform intervening variable analyses as parameterizations of the model used in the nonintervening variable analysis. This permits them to circumvent the estimation of independent distributions for each of the subgroups defined by the intervening variables, offering the potential for a large reduction in data requirements.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259644"} {"pmid": "10259645", "title": "An iterative estimation and validation procedure for specification of semi-Markov models with application to hospital patient flow.", "content": "An iterative estimation and validation procedure for specification of semi-Markov models with application to hospital patient flow.

Refill dates for each patient's hypertensive medications were examined for six months in order to infer compliance. Results of the psychological exam did not accurately predict patient compliance or noncompliance. The student working with only minimal faculty guidance was able to design, implement, analyze, and describe the study. Colleges of pharmacy are encouraged to implement similar clinical research training projects for undergraduate students.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259734"} {"pmid": "10259735", "title": "Development and utility in externship of a questionnaire on attitudes toward professional roles of the pharmacist.", "content": "Development and utility in externship of a questionnaire on attitudes toward professional roles of the pharmacist.

The responses of the three classes to the scales were positive both before and after externship in regard to students' adherence to professional values.

Eight different situations were constructed, depicting two each of four common reactions of children to a type of death occurrence (fear, curiosity, anger, fantasy/denial). Interviews were conducted with 100 mothers of young children who also responded spontaneously to each of the eight situations just as they might respond to their own children. Judges were able to place the women's recorded responses into both content and style categories. Content patterns were inconsistent; style (relationship) classifications appeared to be most consistent, with subjects falling into four predetermined style patterns (open-warm, open-cool, closed-warm, closed-cool) and one mixed category. Parents' reaction differences appeared only in the more ego-involving situations in which the child displayed some emotions, whereas a majority of mothers responded similarly to the \"developmental curiosity\" of the child. Background and personality factors relating to communication styles were investigated; factors labeled \"commitment to education\" and \"resistance to emotional discussion\" discriminated most clearly among the five style groups. combined groups (open versus closed, warm versus cool) also revealed significant differences.

Questionnaires were returned by 75 percent of the sample of faculty and staff at a large university. Opinions of respondents rejected the status quo concerning various practices and regulations of the funeral industry, indicating a desire to support newly suggested changes in the industry. Preparedness scores indicated that almost 9 out of 10 of the respondents were quite unprepared for their own funerals. The mean achievement score regarding knowledge as measured by the Consumer Funeral Test, which was developed for this study, was 4.0, representing 57 percent correct. Significant statistical relationships existed between knowledge scores and the age, education, and sex of the respondents; those who were older and had more education scored higher, and men scored higher than women. No relationships existed, however, among knowledge, opinion, and preparedness scores and the demographic variables of age, education, income, sex, and religion, raising the fundamental question of the value of funeral information programs for consumers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10259897"} {"pmid": "10259898", "title": "Levels of death fear: a factor analysis.", "content": "Levels of death fear: a factor analysis.

This paper estimates the impact of federal regulation of drug quality on research spending by the pharmaceutical industry. The theoretical approach recognizes that the effects of these regulations on research spending depend upon the reactions of R&D decision makers and the information available during project selection. The information available to R&D decision makers in the 1960s suggests that it would have been difficult for them to forecast accurately regulatory effects on research profitability. As better information developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, regulation had a significant effect on research spending. These differences in response are tested econometrically and prove to be empirically significant.

The CSQ-18 was also correlated with change in client-reported symptoms (r = -.35), indicating that greater satisfaction was associated with greater symptom reduction. Results also demonstrated that a subset of items from the scale (the CSQ-8) performed as well as the CSQ-18 and often better.

Described here is a participant-observation strategy employed as one portion of the evaluation research at Family House, a residential treatment program for alcoholic mothers and their children. Major objectives of this leg of a two-legged research design combining this approach with a more standard pre- and post-test strategy were to document and analyze the processes of social development in the new \"small society.\" The ethnographer acted as consultant, with \"raw data\" generated in the form of daily observations dictated on the rotating basis by staff members over a two-year period. The resulting narrative was coded and analyzed by the anthropologist, utilizing a phenomenological or interpretationist perspective which allowed the \"native categories\" of significance to emerge and guide the analysis. This novel research strategy is compared with standard ethnographic fieldwork, as well as with pre- and post-test design, in terms of its strengths and weaknesses. Strengths include access to an authentic \"inside view\" of Family House reality, as well as an unusually rich longitudinal record of daily life in the facility. Problems include danger of contaminating the data by means of the \"feedback\" provided to reward staff for their cooperation in the research effort. The author concludes, however, that since reactive effects are present in all designs, and since \"feedback\" is a normal feature of therapeutic milieux, validity is not unusually threatened.

The Federal Community Mental Health Centers Program (CMHC)-from 1963 to 1981-was heralded as a revolution in mental health care. Championed by many, and severely criticized by others, the actual impact of the program on the nation's mental health remains unclear. The authorization to evaluate the CMHC Program came originally from congressional legislation (PL 90-174), and later from the policies and regulations of NIMH under a series of Federal laws, notably PL 94-63. From 1976-1980, two dominant evaluation strategies were prevalent: funds expended by NIMH each year for studies of CMHC services or program-wide evaluations, and a much larger expenditure by CMHCs to conduct their own, independent evaluations following federal guidelines. As the Center's Program was turned over to the states in the form of block grants (PL 97-35), a group of professionals involved with setting and carrying out federal CMHC evaluation policy of both varieties met in public forum to debate the impact of these two evaluation approaches. While some participants cited gains in evaluation technology and impact upon local management of CMHCs, others found the lack of a coordinated and systematic approach to evaluating the CMHC Program to have been an opportunity missed.

Understanding the concept of behavior formation is vital in facilitating health education effectively in any setting. Traditionally, the health education process was predicated on the cognitive domain. Consequently, other behavioral influences such as attitudes and intentions were not respectively addressed. Several multidimensional behavior models have been used by health educators to favorably influence human behavior. One specific model, based on one's knowledge (beliefs), attitudes, and intentions is particularly suited for educational settings. This model can be used to assess the validity of individual beliefs, nature of attitude, specificity of intentions and associated personal health behaviors. This assessment can serve as a major motivating factor to encourage persons to identify the quality of their current lifestyle and assume personal responsibility for their welfare.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260029"} {"pmid": "10260045", "title": "Manpower log-jam.", "content": "Manpower log-jam.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260045"} {"pmid": "10260028", "title": "A three-dimensional model for teaching about hypertension.", "content": "A three-dimensional model for teaching about hypertension.

At a time when human service providers should be priming their technologies to meet the emerging needs of a new age, they appear to be fighting for their very survival. New governmental priorities have reduced the Welfare State to a new level of pauperism, where both public and private services scurry for scarce resources. In the midst of these changes, serious questions emerge regarding who is ultimately responsible. That is, for maintaining acceptable standards of human dignity and rights despite government preoccupation with budget-balancing. Traditional advocates in the form of civil rights community organizations and organized labor groups do not appear to be available for the task. And recent changes in conventional primary group systems such as the family and the neighborhood complicate the matter of identifying appropriate leaders for mobilizing any form of \"grass roots\" movement. Despite what appears to be a bleak future for the human services, there is little question about their survival. The issue is, in what form and at what level of quality will they survive. If current trends continue, they will most certainly be incapable of meeting even basic human needs in the future. Funding in its current form may be a moot issue.

There has been a lack of appreciation of the complexities of implementing certificate of need (CON) programs and, further, the effects of those implementation problems on the program's effectiveness. This study describes implementation problems and presents some evidence of their impact on approval rates in one state. Start-up phase problems included non-reviewable projects, exempted projects and pre-emptive actions by the hospitals to avoid the regulations. It is estimated that these problems raised the program's approval rate by 12 percent and resulted in approximately +310 million of capital costs and an unknown increase in operating costs. Two problems of continuing implementation are identified. The first concerns the availability and specification of the standards and criteria for project review. The second problem is the lack of significant compliance mechanisms. The Reagan administration has made massive cuts in support for health planning and CON programs. The rationale for these cuts is based on the belief that CON has not been effective in reducing the escalation of hospital costs.

If we are to alternate our approach to traditional health care, then we must bring the consumer back into the position of responsibility.

In the field of health, high priority medical problems are not found in the curative sector of medicine but rather within prevention, with environmental sanitation, water supply, family planning and nutrition.

Experimental subjects engaged in group discussions concerning moods and emotions in music, expression and identification of body language, story composition to recorded music, and drawing to music. Four types of pre and posttests were administered: agreement on mood or emotion expressed in music as measured by an adjective checklist; sociograms to measure group cohesion; the number of pronouns expressing group feelings (\"we, our\"); and scores of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory.

The concept of bounded rationality underlies most behavioral, descriptive decision theory. The implications of limited cognitive capacity have been extensively explored; however, there have been few attempts to understand the means by which decisions made under these constraints remain rational. Some propositions with regard to the ways in which utility considerations guide decision strategies are presented and tested. The results provide some evidence that the decision maker uses strategies that are relatively likely to enhance the utility of the final choice, even when utility maximization is not feasible.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260365"} {"pmid": "10260366", "title": "Role perceptions and behavior of the immediate superior: moderating effects on the prediction of leadership effectiveness.", "content": "Role perceptions and behavior of the immediate superior: moderating effects on the prediction of leadership effectiveness. The relationship between role conflict or role ambiguity and behavior of the immediate superior is investigated. It is hypothesized that behaviors which are associated with subordinates' role perceptions will moderate the relationship between subordinates' ability and their performance. First- and second-level leaders were asked to provide data on their job attitudes, co-worker relations, and experience. Respondents were also given a short test of intelligence, and their job performance was rated by knowledgeable superiors. Results show that boss behavior creating role conflict for first-level leaders was a significant moderator for these leaders' ability and performance correlations. For second-level leaders, boss behavior which created role ambiguity was a significant moderator of ability and performance correlations. It is concluded that experience has a positive relationship with performance when stress is high and that intelligence has a positive relationship with performance only when stress is low. It is further argued that stress with the boss is best described as behavior which leads to role conflict and ambiguity for subordinates in leadership positions. Implications for role theory and leadership theory are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260366"} {"pmid": "10260367", "title": "A new American body count?

Further, in both communities staff recognised and made deliberate therapeutic use of an aspect of accounts and behavioural prescriptions much reported on in sociological literature, namely their essentially contingent and defeasible character. Thus, alongside processes of reality construction we note processes of reality exploration, whereby patients/residents are encouraged to inspect apparently contradictory prescriptions and accounts within the socially constructed reality of the communities.

Although most people in the sample (89.5 per cent) cluster with one to three sources of care, there were over 80 people with four or more affiliations. For those persons with a large number of affiliations, the provider sets become quite varied. Two conceptual typologies are formed, one focusing on type (private physicians versus places) and the other focusing on both the speciality of the physicians involved and the number of different affiliations involved. The United States, at least in theory, maintains a 'free market' health care system. Are there limitations of choice imposed by differential distributions of knowledge, income or age?

This process consists of five techniques corresponding to these five epidemiological uncertainties, respectively: (1) the modification of question; (2) the promise of research; (3) the uniqueness of each case; (4) the comparison with others and (5) the lack of an alternative to therapy.

Possessing neither readily identifiable technical skills nor unambiguous authority, the psychiatric nurse must look to her dealings with patients to sustain a viable professional identity.

In spite of some recent increases in services for bereaved persons, the availability of such services is minimal. The process of grieving itself takes place in time in several ways: the extent to which the death is sudden, expected, and timely; the passage of time from the beginning of anticipatory grieving before the actual death through the diminishing effects of the loss over an extended period of time; and the age and stage in life of the grieving persons. During the grieving process the survivors often develop physical and health problems, face psychological and emotional distress, encounter difficulties with social relationships, and must cope with numerous practical issues. The subsequent adjustment of widows and widowers appears to be related to the extent to which there had been the opportunity for open communication. Whether widows fare better than widowers after the death is uncertain; research has provided conflicting results and equally conflicting interpretations of the results.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260624"} {"pmid": "10260617", "title": "Diagnostic ultrasound: hazardous or safe?", "content": "Diagnostic ultrasound: hazardous or safe?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260617"} {"pmid": "10260616", "title": "Computers in ultrasound practice.", "content": "Computers in ultrasound practice.

All transitions are associated with change. People, basically conservative by nature, tend to resist change. Any intervention needs to consider that reactions to a transition are affected by prior experience, by the way transitions are viewed in an individual's social network, and by what learning opportunities are available. Responses can be viewed as typical under the circumstances, with rites of passage and helpers available to guide people in coping; or they can be viewed as a result of deficits in the individual for which treatment is prescribed. To facilitate change, seen as an expected event, individuals need to be linked to resources and information. They need role models and legitimation of their feelings. Learning, at such times of stress, seems to be facilitated by the availability of a peer, in the sense that the helper has had a similar experience. This help is available in mutual help groups. However, many kinds of help need to be available. The goal of any help is to empower the individual to cope in ways that promote growth and change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260625"} {"pmid": "10260619", "title": "Choosing a film-screen combination for polytomography.", "content": "Choosing a film-screen combination for polytomography.

Intergovernmental reformers have long attempted to remedy the system's more apparent defects, especially the recent buildup in federal-state-local relations as Washington's involvement became broader and deeper. These remedies have included incremental and procedural changes, rationalization of federal aid and program delivery instruments, and total overhaul of the system through functional realignment. Efforts in the past have proved only marginally successful, essentially due to the fact that Congress had become the dominant architect and defender of the system. The world of intergovernmental relations changed dramatically from 1978 on, due to the poor performance of the economy, antitax and antispending sentiment, public-sector retrenchment, and fiscal deterioration at the federal level. Decentralization, competition, and fragmentation characterize the contemporary do-it-yourself federalism. President Reagan's proposed swap, turnback, and trust-fund package of New Federalism seeks to capture these changes in a system realignment.

Labor costs represent the largest single cost of operation for most organizations. For the unionized employer, the compensation package is determined during contract negotiations. It is important for both union and management negotiators to be able to identify the cost of a proposed agreement. Both parties to a contract should know whether a proposed compensation package is consistent with an organization's ability to pay. In addition, when \"trading\" demands, both parties should be aware of the cost of the demands being traded. An approach to costing out a labor agreement has been presented in this article. While it can be described as the standard approach, it is subject to several criticisms. Typically, it is applied in a way that assumes that history will repeat itself. In addition, it focuses on the direct cost of a proposed compensation package. While this is certainly relevant, the impact of the compensation package on organization profits is more important. Finally, the time value of money is not taken into account. This would be important if a multi-year contract is being negotiated. While there are legitimate concerns about the approach presented here, our objective is to provide the reader with a basic approach to costing out a wage and benefit package. Anyone involved in contract negotiations or, in the nonunion firm, anyone responsible for administering a wage and benefit program, should be aware of the problems that we have described and seek out reference materials to provide guidance in addressing them.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260719"} {"pmid": "10260722", "title": "Hospitals sponsor half of all child-care centers--but that doesn't match the need.", "content": "Hospitals sponsor half of all child-care centers--but that doesn't match the need.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260722"} {"pmid": "10260721", "title": "Patient controlled analgesia.", "content": "Patient controlled analgesia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260721"} {"pmid": "10260712", "title": "Preventing equipment-related incidents.", "content": "Preventing equipment-related incidents.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260712"} {"pmid": "10260724", "title": "Preferred provider organizations.", "content": "Preferred provider organizations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260724"} {"pmid": "10260723", "title": "Health fairs are more than a community relations scheme; they save dollars and detect health problems early.", "content": "Health fairs are more than a community relations scheme; they save dollars and detect health problems early.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260723"} {"pmid": "10260711", "title": "Clinical engineering trends for 1983.", "content": "Clinical engineering trends for 1983.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260711"} {"pmid": "10260725", "title": "Comparable worth.

This paper examines data from open-ended questions collected in three separate studies which asked bereaved parents in various ways to describe themselves. The purpose of this descriptive analysis was to seek clues in these self-descriptions regarding both positive and negative resolutions following the death of a child.

Three issues are singled out for discussion: 1) compliance in the doing of these exercises; 2) content in the responses (especially as concerns timing or manner of death and focus of concern); and 3) interpretation of results (e.g., limitations of such exercises, shifts between expectations and desires, \"realism,\" and alterations when additional considerations are introduced). Our conclusion is that we must be cautious in giving two much weight to the ostensible results of such exercises, either as regards personal significance or as research projects.

socio-medical study of infant mortality among disadvantaged blacks. This report profiles the woman at highest risk of a low birthweight delivery and infant death, in a generally disadvantaged, Black population in a major northeastern city which maintains one of the highest infant mortality rates in the nation. It discusses the existence of a very high risk subpopulation which contributes disproportionately and repeatedly to the infant and perinatal death statistics. If adequately identified, these women can be subject to intervention programs. Results show that within an inner-city Black population, where educational levels are relatively low and much of the reproductive segment is young and unmarried, the standard identification criteria of age, education, and marital status do not vary with poor pregnancy outcome. Furthermore, certain factors associated stereotypically with inner city lifestyle, such as drug abuse and venereal disease, also fail to distinguish women having normal and very low birthweight infants. Instead, alcoholism, smoking, low maternal weight at delivery, hypertension history, migrant status, ineffective contraception, prenatal care, violence, and relatively poor psychological adjustments and social support systems distinguish the study samples.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260925"} {"pmid": "10260926", "title": "Citizen participation in neighborhood health centers for the poor: the politics of reform organizational change, 1965-77.", "content": "Citizen participation in neighborhood health centers for the poor: the politics of reform organizational change, 1965-77.

In the final accounting, we seek to explain the shift in the role of poor people participating in health care decision making from that of program developer and change agent to the role of program restrictor. We conceptualize the neighborhood health center (NHC) as a reform organization whose initial objective was to use health care as a tool for achieving political and economic development within low-income rural and urban communities. The analysis, based on a prospective study of NHCs between 1965 and 1977, using interviews with citizen board members, NHC project administrators, NHC physicians, HEW decision elites, and oral history interviews with former Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) administrators and directors, exemplifies the generic social organizational problem of how social, political, economic, and ideological forces shape the emergence and performance of a new reform organization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260926"} {"pmid": "10260927", "title": "Willingness to assist one's elderly parents: responses from United States and Japanese families.", "content": "Willingness to assist one's elderly parents: responses from United States and Japanese families.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260927"} {"pmid": "10260928", "title": "The differential construction of social reality in chronically ill children: an interpretive perspective.", "content": "The differential construction of social reality in chronically ill children: an interpretive perspective.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260928"} {"pmid": "10260929", "title": "Levels of analysis and levels of need: cultural factors and the assessment of need for alcoholism treatment services in an urban community.", "content": "Levels of analysis and levels of need: cultural factors and the assessment of need for alcoholism treatment services in an urban community.

Statewide statistics suggest that problems relating to alcohol abuse represent a major public health problem for Native Alaskans but very little is known about alcohol use on a community level, due to deficient reporting mechanisms and a lack of relevant research. The research reported here was designed to begin to fill this stated need. Alcohol use patterns, the extent of drinking, and associated problems as perceived by residents of two Alaskan Eskimo villages are documented. The structure and effects of alcohol programs in the villages, which represent local attempts to manage alcohol, are also examined. The research demonstrates that it cannot be assumed that all Native Alaskan communities have the same scale of drinking and consequent problems. Differential response to alcohol programs, which have essentially the same structure, is demonstrated and related to the recent development of contrasting levels of community organization in the two villages, which share a common cultural tradition. The utility of a comparative case study approach in examining alcohol problems in Native American communities and the need for expanded research for informed alcohol program planning and implementation are emphasized.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260930"} {"pmid": "10260934", "title": "Experiential learning can improve the performance appraisal process.", "content": "Experiential learning can improve the performance appraisal process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260934"} {"pmid": "10260935", "title": "The other face of performance appraisal.", "content": "The other face of performance appraisal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260935"} {"pmid": "10260936", "title": "Beyond orientation: assimilating new employees.", "content": "Beyond orientation: assimilating new employees.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260936"} {"pmid": "10260938", "title": "Illinois adopts total brain death definition of death.", "content": "Illinois adopts total brain death definition of death.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260938"} {"pmid": "10260937", "title": "U.S. Supreme Court tax decisions have implications for tax-exempt hospitals: lobbying activities and violations of public policy.", "content": "U.S. Supreme Court tax decisions have implications for tax-exempt hospitals: lobbying activities and violations of public policy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260937"} {"pmid": "10260939", "title": "HHS reissues \"Baby Doe\" regulations; provider concerns remain unaddressed.", "content": "HHS reissues \"Baby Doe\" regulations; provider concerns remain unaddressed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260939"} {"pmid": "10260941", "title": "Do you know where your patients are?", "content": "Do you know where your patients are?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260941"} {"pmid": "10260940", "title": "U.S. Supreme Court determines labor law cases.", "content": "U.S. Supreme Court determines labor law cases.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260940"} {"pmid": "10260942", "title": "Malpractice--are you covered?", "content": "Malpractice--are you covered?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260942"} {"pmid": "10260918", "title": "The future management of property.", "content": "The future management of property.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260918"} {"pmid": "10260943", "title": "Demand quality.", "content": "Demand quality.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260943"} {"pmid": "10260924", "title": "Hospital planning--listen to the market and develop consensus.", "content": "Hospital planning--listen to the market and develop consensus.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260924"} {"pmid": "10260946", "title": "Updating manuals is good policy.", "content": "Updating manuals is good policy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260946"} {"pmid": "10260945", "title": "Computerized drug delivery--a bit of preventive medicine.", "content": "Computerized drug delivery--a bit of preventive medicine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260945"} {"pmid": "10260947", "title": "New measures keep you on the safe side.", "content": "New measures keep you on the safe side.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260947"} {"pmid": "10260923", "title": "Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of good public relations.", "content": "Quality, not quantity, is the hallmark of good public relations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260923"} {"pmid": "10260948", "title": "Take pride in our system.", "content": "Take pride in our system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260948"} {"pmid": "10260949", "title": "On the brink of disaster.", "content": "On the brink of disaster.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260949"} {"pmid": "10260950", "title": "Financial planning and management of health programmes in India.", "content": "Financial planning and management of health programmes in India. In this paper, the author deals with the financial planning and control of health programmes in India. The techniques of cost-effectiveness analysis and of performance budgeting are highly useful aids to management for implementation of monitoring and review of performance of the programmes are also essential for gauging the progress. Considers aspects of the financial planning and control of health programs in India. The techniques of cost benefit analysis and cost effectiveness analysis are useful decision making tools for selection of programs that yield the greatest benefit at a given cost or a predetermined benefit at the least cost. The approved budget provision for a program provides the authority for its implementation. In performance budgeting, the budget is viewed as a work plan which specifies program targets to be achieved by the agency during the financial year. Performance budgeting requires physical targets for output, which should be related to the required inputs, and assessment of efficiency of operations. Successful performance budgeting requires a decentralized responsibility structure to ensure accountability of the various levels against their budgeted plans and targets. Design of useful information and reporting systems is also crucial to the success of performance budgeting because they allow management to make on-course corrections when necessary. Performance audits or evaluations should be conducted with reference to the specific objectives of the program, and in terms of predetermined norms and standards.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260950"} {"pmid": "10260957", "title": "Proposed U.S. Health Promotion Office would spend $36.5 million in four years for clearinghouse, grants: NIH would have assistant director for prevention.", "content": "Proposed U.S. Health Promotion Office would spend $36.5 million in four years for clearinghouse, grants: NIH would have assistant director for prevention.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260957"} {"pmid": "10260958", "title": "Tolsma would like to see corporations reach out with health promotion efforts to employee families.

The limitations of each of the model have also been described. Finally an attempt has been made to visualise the applicability of such models on Indian health system. A viable model already tested has been proposed to assess the social patterns of seeking medical care in rural setting in India. Describes current models of health behavior and their utility and limitations in explaining illness, sickness and utilization of health services. Individual or personality-oriented models, including Rosenstock's health belief model, Mechanic's illness behavior model, Anderson's medical care utilization model, and Kosa's illness behavior model, and socially oriented models, including Zola's health behavior model and Suchman's seeking care model are discussed, and a few reviews of health behavior models are mentioned. Study of health and related behaviors in India is increasing, but few studies have benefited from provision of any model that would provide a holistic view of Indian health behavior. Anthropological studies have demonstrated the need to understand health behavior in relation to a particular cultural milieu and to analyze factors which encourage or hinder optimal utilization of existing health services.

Mathematical models have great potentialities as regards their utility in different disciplines of medicine and health. This paper attempts to elucidate their uses in the field. A brief mention of some models has also been made. Mathematical models are useful in epidemiologic research, planning and evaluation of preventive and control programmes, clinical trials, measurement of health, cost-benefit analysis, diagnosis of patients and in maximizing effectiveness of operations aimed at attaining specified goals within existing resources. Describes mathematical models that have been used in the field of health and provides examples of applications from the literature. Descriptive models are useful in community diagnosis and other epidemiologic research, while predictive or simulation models elucidate the mechanisms of a phenomenon and predict its future course. Such models do not take into account unknown forces entering at a future date. Probabilistic and stochastic models are based on random approaches, but deterministic models have a relatively wider application to biological phenomena. Operations research models, which depend on various indices such as cost-benefit ratios, suggest how the effectiveness of operations can be maximized. Diagnostic models are formulated by assigning scores to various signs and symptoms as an aid to clinical diagnosis. Rational models are derived in a logical way based on observation, theory, and assumptions about the behavior of physical components of a system, while empirical models reflect the main features of available data. Important areas of application of models in medicine and health include epidemiologic research, prediction, planning and evaluation of preventive and control measures, measurement of level of health, cost benefit analysis, assessment of risks of illness, patient diagnosis, and maximizing effectiveness of operations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260952"} {"pmid": "10260964", "title": "Nationwide buying group helps market shared services.", "content": "Nationwide buying group helps market shared services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260964"} {"pmid": "10260944", "title": "Communicate through committees.", "content": "Communicate through committees.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260944"} {"pmid": "10260966", "title": "Local autonomy is key to HCA material program.", "content": "Local autonomy is key to HCA material program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260966"} {"pmid": "10260953", "title": "Communication system between District Health Office and Primary Health Centre.", "content": "Communication system between District Health Office and Primary Health Centre. This is a pilot study undertaken by the authors to analyse the communication system as prevalent in health services at District Health Office (DHO) and five Primary Health Centres (PHCs) under it. The five PHCs were randomly selected under DHO Bellary. The authors study the nature of communication of correspondences pertaining to establishment matters, health intelligence and health activities for the first quarter of the financial year between the DHO and PHCs level, pinpoint deficiencies and list out suggestions. A study was conducted of communications and correspondence between 5 randomly selected primary health centers (PHCs) and their district health office (DHO) from April to June, 1977, to evaluate their communication system. A statistical assistant and a computer specialist using 3 different schedules analyzed correspondence pertaining to organizational and health matters. Staff shortages and lack of supplies were found to hamper written communications and record keeping. It was difficult to estimate the total quantity of letters sent and received as files were incomplete at both ends. Communications were classified according to subject matter covered, type of communication, and urgency. 85% of communications issued by PHCs and the DHO were initial ones, and few follow-up letters were included. Most communications did not require any reply. Suggestions for improvement of the system by the staff focused on providing adequate personnel, equipment, and supplies, and allowing enough time for replying to avoid duplicate reports. The authors suggest that more communications from the DHO to the PHCs are needed on implementation and supervision of health programs, that more communications are needed providing guidance and supervision to individual PHCs, and that records of monthly meetings at DHO and PHCs should be more complete.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260953"} {"pmid": "10260965", "title": "Nursing background a plus for some material managers.", "content": "Nursing background a plus for some material managers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260965"} {"pmid": "10260954", "title": "Perceived morbidity, utilisation of health services and factors affecting it in a rural area.", "content": "Perceived morbidity, utilisation of health services and factors affecting it in a rural area. A survey of perceived morbidity was carried out in rural population in eight villages and four wards of Saoner town, covering a total population of 8,876. The nature of illness was assessed by weekly visits to the families. History regarding treatment taken for disease and its source was taken. The overall incidence of perceived morbidity was 176.35 spells of sickness per 1000 population per month. Health care agency was contacted for 36.7 per cent spells of sickness. Utilisation of health services was found to be affected significantly by factors like age (chi 2 = 138.36), literacy (chi 2 = 14.123), type of occupation (chi 2 = 433.74), nature of illness (chi 2 = 83.578) and accessibility of health services. A health behaviour model of the population has also been discussed in this paper. A study of perceived morbidity was carried out among a total population of 8876 persons in 8 rural villages and 4 wards of Saoner town, Nagpur. Occurrences of illness and source of treatment if any were assessed by weekly visits of paramedical workers. 1240 families were each surveyed at least 4 times in 1 month over a 1 year period. 1447 spells of sickness were reported, or 176.7 spells per 1000 population per month. Information on utilization of health services was obtained for 1441, of which care from a health agency was sought in 529 cases, or 36.7%. Utilization of health services was found to be affected significantly by age, education, type of occupation, literacy, seriousness of illness, and accessibility of services.

In June 1978, the Department of Social Welfare, Government of Maharashtra, commissioned the Centre for Development Studies and Activities (CDSA), Pune, to prepare an Action Programme for the Improvement of Health in the Tribal Areas of Maharashtra. The following is the brief report submitted by CDSA. The Center for Development Studies and Activities, Pune, was commissioned to prepare this report detailing a plan of action for a health program in the tribal areas of Maharashtra, India. Health problems were observed to be an integral aspect of tribal life; there has been a notable lack of development of productive potentials and there is an exploitative system of work and distribution. 90.17% of the people fall under the subsistency line in terms of per capita income needed to meet basic nutritional levels. The system of \"Indirect bondedness\" which is based on labor contractors who are themselves tribals generates dependence on employers and perpetuates economic nonviability of households. 67% of the sample population suffered from calorie deficiency and 24% from protein deficiency. 87% spend more than 85% of income on food. There is also an acute water deficiency for about 6 months of the year. Over 60% of the villages included 54% of the population and are not connected by pucca roads so that medical help is not only difficult, but becomes impossible during early winter and during monsoons. At the pregnancy health center (PHC) additional problems are identified including lack of adequate supplies of medicines, delay in salary payments and reimbursements to medical personnel, and lack of specialists available at the district level. The action program suggests using health as an entry point in breaking the social structure pyramid so that constructive development of the area can begin. Grass roots participation of the people is essential, as are adapting programs to local conditions, coordinating programs of various government agencies and levels, finding the necessary staff, and adequate monitoring. 6 major action areas, nutrition, family viability, training and institutional development, environmental hygiene, and the health, social and economic infrastructure are outlined in detail.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260956"} {"pmid": "10260962", "title": "Healthcare security international.", "content": "Healthcare security international.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260962"} {"pmid": "10260959", "title": "A prescription from the door doctor.", "content": "A prescription from the door doctor.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260959"} {"pmid": "10260973", "title": "User fees: the experience of one large hospital with a market disincentive.", "content": "User fees: the experience of one large hospital with a market disincentive.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260973"} {"pmid": "10260974", "title": "Education for health services administrators: an international study.", "content": "Education for health services administrators: an international study.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260974"} {"pmid": "10260975", "title": "Alternatives to institutionalization.", "content": "Alternatives to institutionalization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260975"} {"pmid": "10260976", "title": "The teaching nursing home: development of a Canadian model.", "content": "The teaching nursing home: development of a Canadian model.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260976"} {"pmid": "10260977", "title": "The future is here . . . in your TV.", "content": "The future is here . . . in your TV.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10260977"} {"pmid": "10260955", "title": "A methodology for estimating ambulance requirements.", "content": "A methodology for estimating ambulance requirements.

When nonprofit organizations operate in a field of service that might otherwise be provided by government or by for-profit organizations, such as schools, hospitals, or museums, their decisions on the type and amount of services to be delivered are motivated by factors that are quite distinctive. Because they must operate on a break-even basis with revenues raised on a voluntary basis, nonprofit organizations typically take on activities from which they derive no satisfaction in order to subsidize activities that they regard as of higher value. As a result, the mix of services they offer and the charges they impose will generally be quite different from those of a government institution or a for-profit organization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261066"} {"pmid": "10261067", "title": "Why most private hospitals are nonprofit.", "content": "Why most private hospitals are nonprofit.

Small proprietary hospitals in particular have disappeared while corporate chains have come to dominate what is left of the for-profit hospital sector. The trend toward nonprofit hospitals is not explained by the failure of the health service markets and is not the result of a desire to serve the public interest more effectively. Although a number of arguments have been advanced to explain the shift, the hypothesis that seems most consistent with the existing evidence is that the nonprofit form of organization serves most effectively to strengthen the restrictive character of the market for physicians' services and thereby to serve the individual economic interests of the physicians.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261067"} {"pmid": "10261068", "title": "Public or private health services?", "content": "Public or private health services?

The discussion of health inequalities in Britain (e.g. in the Black Report) has been conducted largely on the basis of social class mortality differentials measured by achieved social class and not by social class of origin. It is shown in this paper that social class mortality differentials by achieved social class are not invariant to the rate of social mobility and that the use of them is likely to result in a biased measure of trends in health inequalities when the absolute rate of social mobility varies over time. It is further shown that if, as is likely, health status is a factor systematically affecting the probability for an individual of upward or downward social mobility, then an increase in the rate of social mobility may well result in constant or widening social class mortality differentials by achieved social class even if the differentials are narrowing when measured by social class of origin.

The problem over the use of accident and emergency departments is portrayed in terms of a typical conflict between professional and lay needs. However, in contrast with the more common image of the professional hospital doctor successfully developing both structural and interactional strategies for maintaining professional dominance over the patient, it is argued that the structural characteristics of the accident and emergency department pose control problems for the profession. These control problems have been exacerbated by developments in other areas of the health service and have led to the development of policies which emphasize both clinical and social elements of patient need. Although there is apparent recognition by providers of the importance of taking into account patient need, the proposed policies are based on professional images of how patients 'ought' to use the service. What is clearly lacking is comprehensive data on how the public and the community wishes to use the service and how they actually use the service.

Conflict in the workplace can have a beneficial effect. That is if appropriately resolved, it plays an important part in effective problem solving, according to author Michele Stimac, associate dean, curriculum and instruction, and professor at Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology. She advocates confrontation--by way of negotiation rather than brute force--as the best way to resolve conflict, heal wounds, reconcile the parties involved, and give the resolution long life. But she adds that if a person who has though through when, where, and how to confront someone foresees only disaster, avoidance is the best path to take. The emphasis here is on strategy. Avoiding confrontation, for example, is not a strategic move unless it is backed by considered judgment. Stimac lays out these basic tenets for engaging in sound negotiation: (1) The confrontation should take place in neutral territory. (2) The parties should actively listen to each other. (3) Each should assert his or her right to fair treatment. (4) Each must allow the other to retain his or her dignity. (5) The parties should seek a consensus on the issues inconflict, their resolution, and the means of reducing any tension that results from the resolution. (6) The parties should exhibit a spirit of give and take--that is, of compromise. (7) They should seek satisfaction for all involved.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261202"} {"pmid": "10261201", "title": "Retrenchment: layoff procedures in a nonprofit organization.", "content": "Retrenchment: layoff procedures in a nonprofit organization.

As the first step, the planning committee (personnel director, equal employment opportunity director, and general counsel) recommended that the corporation conduct staff education about layoffs for all employees, that a representative employee task force be established to develop specific details of the layoff plan, and that the corporation hire an experienced person to help staff members implement the plan. Members of the task force, who were elected by staff members (except for one additional member who was selected to ensure proper representation of minority groups and women), made specific recommendations on the way to determine seniority and bumping rights. The task force also dealt with such issues as method of notification, an appeals procedure, reemployment rights, the counseling and outplacement services.

Jackson, assistant professor of organizational psychology in the psychology department at the University of Maryland, and Randall S. Schuler, associate professor of personnel and human resources management in the department of management at New York University, suggest three specific approaches to preventing burnout. One of these, anticipatory socialization programs, is a way of preventing \"reality shock\" from sending idealistic new employees with unrealistic expectations about a job into burnout. The philosophy underlying anticipatory socialization programs holds that reality shock should be experienced before the individual begins his or her first full-time job- and, further, that it should be experienced in a context that permits and encourages the development of constructive strategies for coping with the unexpected reality.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261205"}

In response to such environmental conditions, hospitals have adopted new strategies and structures. The strategies, described as corporate rationalization, have led away from the traditional structure of freestanding, autonomous hospitals and toward the formation of multi-institutional systems. These systems are designed to provide sufficient strength to cope with the environment, to acquire scarce and valued resources, to allow organizational stability, to achieve organizational purpose, to enable growth and/or survival, and to enhance market position.

Clinical decisions require determining the objectives of care as well as selecting and implementing a strategy of care. At the very least the optimal strategy balances the expected benefit and harm from technical interventions. Health care practitioners tend to specify optimal strategies based on what they consider to be best for patients, without regard to monetary cost. This is an absolutist definition of quality. Individuals may place different valuations on the outcomes, are concerned with the monetary costs to themselves, and are particularly sensitive to the attributes of the interpersonal relationship with the practitioners. Including all of these leads to an individualized definition of the quality of care. But this specification of quality may be in conflict with a social definition of quality, which takes into account social as well as individual monetary costs, externalities, and the social distribution of quality. The health care professions may respond to the conflict in several ways, which are described in this article as evasion, rejection and confrontation, anticipation, advocacy, active complicity, passive complicity, and ambiguous adaptations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261424"} {"pmid": "10261423", "title": "The aging of the population and health services.", "content": "The aging of the population and health services.

The elderly are disproportionately heavy utilizers of health care, primarily because of the prevalence of chronic disease. In the United States most health care for the elderly is financed through public funds, and costs have been increasing at an alarming rate. There is wide consensus that, for all the excellence of performance of the medical care system in treating acute episodes, care of chronic disease is frequently unsatisfactory in both quality and cost.

Although it is difficult to ascertain whether or not the nation faces an oversupply of physicians in the coming decades, there is no doubt that a health care system can be operated more effectively with a taut supply of medical personnel than with a loose supply. The perception of severe specialty and geographic imbalance, which informed national health policy during the 1960s and 1970s, has been modified by evidence of a significant redistribution in the supply. Increasing numbers of practitioners are likely to effect further escalation in the costs of physician services and total expenditures for health care, even if--in conformity with classical laws of supply and demand--individual physicians' incomes and the relative economic advantage of the profession were to decline. Since the objective of improved access has to a considerable extent been realized, the principal benefit of the loosened supply in the future will be to facilitate the initiation of innovative practice modes and alternative health care delivery systems that offer the potential of improved efficiency and quality.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261425"} {"pmid": "10261431", "title": "New federalism and health policy.", "content": "New federalism and health policy. The making of health policy in the United States is a complex process that involves the private and public sectors, including multiple levels of government. Five characteristics of the policy process are identified, which establish the means by which policies are formulated and which affect the nature of the policies that emerge. These characteristics include (1) the relationship of the government to the private sector; (2) the distribution of authority and responsibility within a federal system of government; (3) the relationship between policy formation and implementation; (4) a pluralistic ideology as the basis of politics; and (5) incrementalism as the strategy for reform. The article focuses on the impact on health policy of the distribution of authority and responsibility within the federal system, particularly the impact of new federalism policies as they emerged during the past decade. The effects of dual federalism, cooperative federalism, creative federalism, and new federalism are examined in relation to health policies.

Liberal distributional values, the increasingly powerful capacity of medicine to provide more and better care, and concern about the health hazards of an industrial society fueled the vast expansion of the health care sector during the last 20 years. That growth was facilitated by a growing economy. The current health policy debate at one level reexamines the distributional bases of entitlement programs, and at another seeks alternative resource allocation mechanisms to reduce the cost of health care. This article has two themes. First, distributional and allocational policies are shown to be intrinsically related, so that the health policy debate is fundamentally a clash between liberal and libertarian values. Second, the inexorable social forces driving the health care system are shown to be the aging of the population and the rapid expansion of technology. The resulting dynamics imply the further growth of the health sector, now in the environment of a sluggish economy. Future policies will have to struggle with how to ration scarce health resources and how to reorient the health care sector to the problems of the aged.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261427"} {"pmid": "10261428", "title": "The competition strategy for medical care.", "content": "The competition strategy for medical care.

The effort to stimulate the growth of health maintenance organizations (HMOs) throughout the country has had limited results, and federal plans to promote competition by enacting changes in the health insurance market have so far come to little. Coalitions in some localities have shown growing interest in flexible HMO variants, however, and the intellectual force of the HMO critique of mainstream practices remains strong. Moreover, the federal government has shown new interest in prospective reimbursement of hospitals--a proposal that draws from both HMOs--competition--and hospital rate-setting programs--regulation--the element of prospectivity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261429"} {"pmid": "10261414", "title": "Health care manpower in a rapidly changing world.", "content": "Health care manpower in a rapidly changing world.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261414"} {"pmid": "10261432", "title": "Creative Leaders: they generate the magic that best results.

Most economic relationships are either arm's-length exchange transactions, each party seeking his or her own interest, or command structures, such as a firm or public agency, integrating joint efforts toward a common goal. The health care industry, however, displays a pattern of incomplete vertical integration--relationships which are neither truly arm's-length nor completely hierarchical. The doctor-patient relationship is archetypical. Physicians appear to sell services in private markets; yet they reach through the exchange process to direct the consumer-patient's utilization decisions, implicity undertaking to act in the patient's interest, and thus integrate forward. But they also integrate backward to control the public regulatory process--self-government--and some forms of insurance. The health care systems of different countries--Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States--can be interpreted as different patterns of incomplete integration among five basic classes of transactors: consumer-patients, first-line providers, second-line providers, insurers, and governments. Each system of linkage has characteristic strengths and weaknesses. Nowhere, however, do we find a predominance of arm's-length market relationships. Where they exist, markets in health care are usually pseudomarkets dominated by one side of the transaction.

That legislation requires several changes in the procedures used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to conduct periodic reviews of disability cases for continuing eligibility. The proposed regulations would implement Sections 4 and 5 of the new law, which require SSA to make a face-to-face evidentiary hearing available in connection with the reconsideration of any initial determination that an individual receiving disability benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (the Act) is not now disabled. We also propose to make the new reconsideration procedure available in blindness and disability termination cases in the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program under title XVI of the Act, pursuant to the Secretary's broad rulemaking authority in the SSI program. Although Congress has not specifically required that we do so, it is customary to extend legislative improvements in the title II disability program to comparable SSI cases, since the medical eligibility requirements in both programs are quite similar. Moreover, the proposed inclusion of SSI blindness and disability termination cases would promote effective program administration by providing a uniform appeal procedure in the two programs.

Pharmacists consulted with physicians each time these drugs were prescribed to encourage cefazolin substitution when appropriate. Records of all cephalosporin piggyback doses dispensed were maintained along with quarterly purchase data. Excess costs of utilizing third generation cephalosporins in place of cefazolin were calculated for various usage levels. Actual third-generation usage was compared to usage predicted if no target program was in place, and cost saving was calculated. During the study period, combined moxalactam and cefotaxime use averaged 3.2% of total cephalosporin use at a cost of $4109 per month. Based on an expected predicted usage of 20% to 40%, an annualized cost savings of $91,071 to $202,815 was achieved.

Before the teleconference, participants received biographical information about the consultant as well as an outline describing how the call was to be structured. In practice, a varied format was used, beginning with questions from the physicians, followed by the consultant's discussion of study results, and ending with a period during which the physicians had an opportunity to raise additional questions. Evaluation of the calls showed that most physicians thought their study results had been kept anonymous by the consultant. Most thought the length of time (usually one hour) was satisfactory, and most agreed that they learned both from the consultant and other group members.

Building on research and writing in the fields of career management and mentor relationships, Baird and Kram analyze the superior-subordinate relationship as an exchange to which each party brings different needs and resources. They point out that this relationship can be productive and satisfying--both for the parties concerned and for the organization--when the needs of one party match the resources of the other. The article includes a checklist for analyzing how the superior-subordinate relationship operates as an exchange and how the resources of the parties mesh or fail to mesh. They do on to show how the superior-subordinate relationship and the needs of the parties change as each moves through individual career and life cycles. What was once a productive relationship may, in time, become unproductive, or vice versa. In any event, its dynamic nature requires that it be managed. Baird and Kram suggest five steps for managing the relationship as it moves through these changes: (1) Recognizing that the relationship is an exchange; (2) identifying clearly one's own as well as the other party's needs; (3) understanding how the subordinate's and boss's needs fit together and recognizing that the relationship is likely to change; (4) understanding the constraints under which the boss operates; (5) establishing a feedback and evaluation process for continuously assessing the relationship.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261914"} {"pmid": "10261915", "title": "Keeping them up in the air safely.", "content": "Keeping them up in the air safely.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261915"} {"pmid": "10261916", "title": "Portable ladders.

Despite the fact that blacks are disproportionately exposed to social conditions considered to be antecedents of psychiatric disorder, epidemiologic studies have not conclusively demonstrated that blacks exhibit higher rates of mental illness than whites. The present paper employed a research approach which considered not only rates of psychological distress, but also the stressors that blacks face and the various coping strategies used to adapt to those stressors. The data were obtained from the National Survey of Black Americans, the first study of a national probability sample of the adult black population. The information on mental health and coping was collected within the context of a single stressful personal problem. The analysis indicates that prayer was an extremely important coping response used by blacks especially among those making less than $10,000, above the age of 55 and women. The informal social network was used quite extensively as a means of coping with problems. This was true for all sociodemographic groups studied. The young (18-34) were less likely than those age 35 and above to seek professional help, while women were more likely than men to seek formal assistance. Income was not related to professional help seeking. With respect to the use of specific professional help sources, hospital emergency rooms, private physicians and ministers were used most frequently. The implications of these findings for research on black mental health and primary prevention are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261945"} {"pmid": "10261948", "title": "Rural mental health.

The techniques must be individualized, and this requires first a good understanding of the pathophysiology involved and then a process of manipulation of variables with careful monitoring of their effect by appropriate \"dependent variables.\" Optimal ventilator management is possible only with a good working relationship among physician, nurse, and respiratory technologist.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261975"} {"pmid": "10261978", "title": "Government and voluntary agency relationships.", "content": "Government and voluntary agency relationships. The concept of \"voluntary agency\" is being radically but almost imperceptibly revised under the press of events in the world of social welfare organization and finance. The term now embraces traditional nonprofit social agencies, proprietary agencies offering similar services often financed by the public sector, social programs financed by industry for its employees, and the family as a primary service provider.

This article explores job dissatisfaction experienced by service providers in the field of aging and the policy sources of such dissatisfactions. Workers interviewed identified four major areas of complaint about their jobs: lack of resources, agency problems, mandates and regulations, and client characteristics. Such problems, it is argued, are associated with specific characteristics of policies under which the respondents work. These characteristics include the symbolic nature of legislation, policy ambiguity, universal entitlement, and calculated fragmentation. Whether or not policy changes should be made to alleviate worker dissatisfactions is discussed in the concluding section of the article.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261979"} {"pmid": "10261980", "title": "Managing 'minor' disorders: pathways to a hospital accident and emergency department.", "content": "Managing 'minor' disorders: pathways to a hospital accident and emergency department. Empirical research examining the decision-making processes involved in the management of problematic signs and symptoms has either focused on a specific condition or examined more general decision rules. The problem with these approaches is the difficulty in identifying which elements are specific to certain complaints and which are more generally applicable. The study presented here shows a comparison of the processes involved in the decision to seek medical care for sufferers with different types of complaint. This comparison identified various different elements in the decision-making processes which were shown to have considerable implications for their pattern of help-seeking behaviour and their pathways to the hospital accident and emergency department.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261980"} {"pmid": "10261982", "title": "Class, perceptions of 'disordered' behaviour, and suggestions for therapy: a tri-cultural comparison.", "content": "Class, perceptions of 'disordered' behaviour, and suggestions for therapy: a tri-cultural comparison. This paper presents findings from a tri-cultural study in which we argue that class differences pertain not only to rates of mental illness but also to recognition of symptoms of mental illness and to recommendations concerning what should be done by those exhibiting 'disordered behaviour'. It is hypothesized that regardless of respondent's cultural background, the extent to which a deviant behaviour will be defined as a mental health problem, and professional therapy will be suggested as a source of help for that problem, will be positively related to class. Findings from a sample selected from two small West Texas communities, and samples selected from Durango, Mexico, and Juiz de Fora, Brazil, indicate strong support for the first prediction only among the West Texas sample, whereas the second hypothesis concerning therapy suggestions is strongly supported among respondents in all three cultural settings. We conclude that these class differences in perceptions and suggestions concerning five examples of 'disordered' behaviours read to respondents relate to conditions of lower-class life in general. Particularly, structural support found for our hypothesis leads us to suggest a need for informal, nonbureaucratic mental health care systems created to serve lower-class populations residing in class-oriented societies, regardless of cultural differences which may exist among these societies.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10261982"} {"pmid": "10261981", "title": "Loss of self: a fundamental form of suffering in the chronically ill.", "content": "Loss of self: a fundamental form of suffering in the chronically ill. Physical pain, psychological distress and the deleterious effects of medical procedures all cause the chronically ill to suffer as they experience their illnesses. However, a narrow medicalized view of suffering, solely defined as physical discomfort, ignores or minimizes the broader significance of the suffering experienced by debilitated chronically ill adults. A fundamental form of that suffering is the loss of self in chronically ill persons who observe their former self-images crumbling away without the simultaneous development of equally valued new ones. As a result of their illnesses, these individuals suffer from (1) leading restricted lives, (2) experiencing social isolation, (3) being discredited and (4) burdening others. Each of these four scores of suffering is analysed in relation to its effects on the consciousness of the ill person.

Little attention has been paid to children's emotional reactions to illness and hospitalization, important facets of the healing process. In the first part of this paper, children's characteristic emotional reactions to hospitalization are discussed within a developmental framework. Next, some of the emotional reactions elicited in hospital staff and parents by seriously ill children are discussed. It is hoped that an elucidation of the types of feelings hospitalized children experience, and the kinds of emotional responses they elicit in adult caretakers, can lead to more sensitive and effective child care-giving in hospital settings.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262127"} {"pmid": "10262128", "title": "For parents and children only: a parent-child educational library.", "content": "For parents and children only: a parent-child educational library.

In this model early experiences are crucial to the skills which either cannot develop or develop with much difficulty after the critical period has passed. The second model is a transactional model of development which asserts that, although early experiences are important, each interaction of the child and the environment makes a difference in development and only through continuous assessment of these transactions can we determine how the child changes and evolves.

Respondents were asked to rate the importance of 43 nursing functions on a 9-point scale ranging from highly important to not at all important. Mean ratings of pediatric nursing functions were determined and one-way analyses of variance performed. The five nursing functions perceived to be most important were, in order of ranking: (a) providing emotional support of children, (b) recognizing significant physical deviations, (c) implementing nursing interventions, (d) preparing children psychologically for procedures and surgery, and (e) identifying nursing problems. Significant differences were found between groups in perceptions of the importance of 23 nursing functions, mainly in the areas of psychosocial care, teaching, and nursing process.

Some recent innovative approaches to drug delivery have demonstrated that the administration of drugs can be more rigidly controlled with respect to the rate and amount of drug delivered to sites of action than from the conventional dosage forms. One category of controlled release referred to as programmed drug delivery primarily involves the application of polymers of defined specifications to release agents from either non-bioerodible membrane-controlled systems or bioerodible and non-bioerodible matrices. Also included here are the pro-drugs, inactive derivatives of drugs which are transformed into the active form in vivo but possess improved solubility, stability and disposition properties, yielding more efficient action and fewer side effects. Thus, exploitation of several routes of administration have resulted in products which are inserted ophtalmically, rectally or vaginally, implanted subcutaneously, taken orally or applied topically to achieve transdermal delivery of drugs to the systemic circulation. In several cases, release is designed to follow zero-order kinetics to achieve control of therapeutic plasma concentrations for prolonged time periods. Targeting of drugs by carrier is another form of controlled release technology. Normally administered intravenously, carriers such as liposomes, nanoparticles, microspheres, human cells and linear macromolecules are finding application in treating disease states with drugs which previously were unavailable to treatment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262189"} {"pmid": "10262186", "title": "Marketing your hospital: getting staff on board through in-service education.", "content": "Marketing your hospital: getting staff on board through in-service education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262186"} {"pmid": "10262200", "title": "Discharge planning models: the Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, NY.", "content": "Discharge planning models: the Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, NY.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262200"} {"pmid": "10262201", "title": "Patient teaching in the emergency department.", "content": "Patient teaching in the emergency department.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262201"} {"pmid": "10262199", "title": "Automatic food service: the meal of the future?", "content": "Automatic food service: the meal of the future?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262199"} {"pmid": "10262187", "title": "Authentic management: critical skills for hospital productivity improvement.", "content": "Authentic management: critical skills for hospital productivity improvement.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262187"} {"pmid": "10262191", "title": "The implementation of comprehensive critical care pharmacy services through the development of a 24-hour satellite pharmacy.", "content": "The implementation of comprehensive critical care pharmacy services through the development of a 24-hour satellite pharmacy.

One conclusion on which all studies agree is that an increase of the out-of-pocket price results in a reduction of the demand for the medical care in question. There are many indications that this money price-effect is the larger the lower the time-price, the lower the income, the less urgent the medical care is and the more influence the patient has on the decision to receive medical care.

The employee in this case \"Adrian Reese,\" is an outspoken health official who irritates the city manager and members of the \"Marshall City\" board of health. Like most HBR cases, this is based on a real situation. As the problem unfolds, readers may find the circumstances and the characters familiar. And yet they may be surprised at the outcome, as truth is stranger than fiction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262269"} {"pmid": "10262280", "title": "Taping bed reservations: careful planning paid off.", "content": "Taping bed reservations: careful planning paid off.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262280"} {"pmid": "10262279", "title": "Reimbursement: knowing where you stand.", "content": "Reimbursement: knowing where you stand.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262279"} {"pmid": "10262278", "title": "Are reimbursement appeals worth effort?", "content": "Are reimbursement appeals worth effort?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262278"} {"pmid": "10262281", "title": "Are admitters liable in suits against impaired physicians?", "content": "Are admitters liable in suits against impaired physicians?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262281"} {"pmid": "10262282", "title": "Screen applicants' backs to reduce injuries.", "content": "Screen applicants' backs to reduce injuries.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262282"} {"pmid": "10262267", "title": "Compensation, jobs, and gender.", "content": "Compensation, jobs, and gender.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262267"} {"pmid": "10262268", "title": "Managing for efficiency, managing for equity.", "content": "Managing for efficiency, managing for equity.

The evaluation of community care demonstrations poses a number of interdependent program and methodological design choices. Whether or not the program to be tested has a system-wide mission, for example, determines whether the program should be implemented on a small or large scale. This in turn has important implications for whether a randomized or a comparison site design is the appropriate evaluation methodology. This paper examines the relation between system-wide mission and scale considerations, on the one hand, and appropriate choice of methodology, on the other. It concludes that a small scale program with a randomized evaluation design is easiest to implement, costs less, and is more likely to provide defensible answers to a limited set of policy questions than a large scale program with a system-wide mission evaluated using a comparison site methodology. Despite the greater difficulty and cost of a large scale demonstration, however, such a demonstration should be seriously considered whenever increased funding makes it a feasible option, because it is able to address a number of significant policy questions that cannot be answered within the constraints of a small scale demonstration.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262335"} {"pmid": "10262337", "title": "Home care for the dying: homemakers' perspectives.", "content": "Home care for the dying: homemakers' perspectives.

Results indicate that homemakers perform multiple roles, which they report tend to be more demanding physically and psychosocially than other kinds of homemaking.

The Assessment was written in the spring of 1982 and contains four sections: Activity Preference, Organizational involvement, Attitude Survey, and Post-Interview Observations. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Attitude Survey. The Attitude Survey was administered to 214 university students enrolled in three areas of study: human science, performance, and liberal arts. Results show that each of the three scales in the Survey is internally consistent (.63 to .74), that each scale measures a single large dimension, and that two of the three scales significantly discriminate between groups of students (p less than .05).

The approved societies, who were charged with the administration of health insurance in Britain, have long been blamed for the failure of the scheme to expand its coverage or scope in the interwar period. This paper takes a closer look at the administrative process and argues that societies were more vulnerable to central regulation than is commonly thought and were unable to resist cuts in public subsidies and extensions in liability introduced at their expense. They provided a convenient scapegoat for policies emanating primarily from the economic orthodoxy subscribed to by both government and the Treasury, modified to protect the unemployed during the slump. Health insurance policy was dominated to a large extent by the Government Actuary, who aimed to guarantee the cost effectiveness of the scheme. This paper also shows how administrative definitions and practices affected the classification of claimants to state social insurance at this time. It re-establishes the major weaknesses of the system, arguing that--in the light of recent discussions about reviving a system of national health insurance--we have much to learn from looking again at the experience of the interwar period.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262392"} {"pmid": "10262398", "title": "Organizing a corporate philanthropy program.", "content": "Organizing a corporate philanthropy program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262398"} {"pmid": "10262395", "title": "Inappropriate patient confinement and appropriate state advocacy.", "content": "Inappropriate patient confinement and appropriate state advocacy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262395"} {"pmid": "10262393", "title": "Vitek and beyond: the empirical context of prison-to-hospital transfers.", "content": "Vitek and beyond: the empirical context of prison-to-hospital transfers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262393"} {"pmid": "10262394", "title": "Major current issues concerning civil commitment criteria.", "content": "Major current issues concerning civil commitment criteria.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262394"} {"pmid": "10262397", "title": "Following the leader: how to link management style to subordinate personalities.", "content": "Following the leader: how to link management style to subordinate personalities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262397"} {"pmid": "10262405", "title": "If an A-plant blows, what can a doctor do?", "content": "If an A-plant blows, what can a doctor do?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262405"} {"pmid": "10262402", "title": "Non-profit hospital co-op laundry now profit-making linen exchange.", "content": "Non-profit hospital co-op laundry now profit-making linen exchange.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262402"} {"pmid": "10262401", "title": "Thermal-oil system helps slash hospital laundry's energy costs.", "content": "Thermal-oil system helps slash hospital laundry's energy costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262401"} {"pmid": "10262403", "title": "Illinois to revamp legislation will simplify nursing home law.", "content": "Illinois to revamp legislation will simplify nursing home law.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262403"} {"pmid": "10262415", "title": "Hospitals that still want doctors.", "content": "Hospitals that still want doctors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262415"} {"pmid": "10262418", "title": "Ethical dilemma: should I break patient confidentiality?", "content": "Ethical dilemma: should I break patient confidentiality?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262418"} {"pmid": "10262417", "title": "Would you really want to join the PPO movement?", "content": "Would you really want to join the PPO movement?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262417"} {"pmid": "10262416", "title": ". . .

Considerations of totally electronic picture archiving system (PACS) often neglect the fact that every radiology practice currently has some system for storing and retrieving images and related alphanumeric data. Although these systems are usually manual, many departments now use on-line computers to help manage film flow. In either event, the creation of electronic PACS can be viewed as a classic data processing problem of automating an existing system, and the conversion should proceed through the usual steps of documenting the existing system in detail, and conducting feasibility studies and cost-benefit analyses. Documenting current systems should be facilitated by computer-assisted PACS--particularly documenting transaction volumes which can be provided as a by-product of radiology information management systems. Similarly cost-benefit analysis should be facilitated, although the cost/benefit ratio may be less favorable when comparing automated to computer-assisted PACS.

It is based on a feasibility study conducted in 1979 for a pediatric hospital in New York City. From the analysis of statistical data and confidential interviews with health care professionals in the hospital and in the community, the study concludes that the needs of terminally ill children and their families are not being met currently and that the hospice is as appropriate for children as for adults. Three major differences in emphasis are noted, however. First, support of the family suffering the death of a child is of prime importance, because the grief is devastating and long lasting and because the number of family members affected is usually large. Second, the hospice emphasis on home care is even more imperative for children than for adults as it more significantly benefits both child and family; home care can be facilitated through supplementary care components such as day care. Third, there is a major need for both professional and public education in caring for terminally ill children and their families and in coping with childhood death. The author concludes that further research is needed in all aspects of pediatric terminal care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262693"} {"pmid": "10262694", "title": "Hospice--an education center for professionals.", "content": "Hospice--an education center for professionals.

The most elemental of these limitations is embodies in the National Labor Relations Act: section 7 protects the concerted activities of nonunion employees, section 8(a)(1) makes it an unfair labor practice for an employer to interfere with the section 7 rights of its employees; and section 10(c) grants the National Labor Relations Board broad remedial powers to correct violations, including the power to reinstate workers with or without back pay.

The sales data also illustrate that the development of the market for tobacco goods has displayed marked differences over time from one country to another.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262724"} {"pmid": "10262728", "title": "Quality assurance and program evaluation.", "content": "Quality assurance and program evaluation. Some common forces have led to increased attention to quality assurance and program evaluation in the United States. However, these two types of public accountability have developed relatively independently, resulting in somewhat different but related approaches to examining health care. The similarities and differences between quality-of-case assurance and program evaluation are discussed as related to their definitions and approaches to data collection and utilization. Pressures to integrate quality assurance and program evaluation and evidence of a convergence in the two types of assessment activities are also presented.

Quality assurance programs are now a fact of life in health care institutions, yet the effectiveness of these programs in improving care is unproven. Reports of quality assurance activities rarely discuss \"remedy implementation\" or the outcome of such attempts. Effectiveness does not flow naturally from sound methodology or documentation but is the most challenging part of the program. This article examines reasons for this difficulty, and the authors recommend strategies for improving problem resolution and increasing the influence of the program in the organization. They urge attention to program implementation and emphasize active participation by clinicians, patients, administration, and staff.

Total direct costs for the project were $1.22 million over five years; indirect costs, $694,000. A computerized data system enabled disaggregation of the cost data by person, timing, type of work, project phase, health topic, health center, and research or operational nature. Of the costs incurred, 79% were for operational reasons, with 21% incurred for research reasons. Costs per audited case were 31% higher in hospitals than in neighborhood health centers.

Competitive markets and formal evaluations offer distinctly different mechanisms for controlling the quality of care based on patients' choices as consumers and applied scientific methods, respectively. As the difficulty of acquiring relevant information and its skewness toward providers becomes greater, the need for evaluations increases. Thus the complexities of medical care tend to limit the range of the market. Markets, however, provide information on value, accommodating differences in patient preferences and cost conditions not readily obtained with formal evaluations. Through incentives, markets integrate the evaluation and control functions and may create greater efficiency and responsiveness. A variety of organizational structures for quality assurance are available, and formal evaluations are often incorporated within a market context.

Trained raters using the CCAR made functional assessment ratings of patients on nine behaviorally-anchored scales. A unique feature of this study was that patients' primary therapists were asked to identify the three CCAR dimensions which represented their targeted treatment goals. Purposes of this study were twofold. The first concern was to establish the validity of this instrument in monitoring the level of functioning of a young and chronically impaired sample. The second goal was to assess the clinical outcome of patients in the day treatment program. Results showed the CCAR to be a valid measure of patients' level of functioning. Further results indicated that the functional ratings on the three targeted treatment goals exhibited statistically significant improvement from admission to follow-up or discharge. Findings further suggest that patients' motivation for treatment at the time of admission may be important for achieving successful clinical outcome.

In social policy research the gender dimension has been relatively neglected in Britain. The attempt to selectively reduce public spending is examined with reference to its objective impact on men and women using official statistics and specialist reports. In addition, on the basis of a large-scale interview survey the subjective impact of and political reactions to the cuts are analysed by gender. The main findings are that this current social policy negatively affects women as both public sector workers and consumers more than men. Political reactions to the cuts were extensive but unrelated to gender per se. However, when one controls for economic activity and related variables, gender differences in terms of both political attitudes and behaviour were insignificant compared to the contrast between the economically active and inactive. The main social policy implication is that the restructuring of the welfare state hits women first and foremost.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262861"} {"pmid": "10262860", "title": "Equity and efficiency in the allocation of the personal social services.", "content": "Equity and efficiency in the allocation of the personal social services. This paper investigates two issues of equity in the receipt of the home help service, one about territorial justice, the other about sex discrimination. It uses GHS data for 1980. An argument is developed about the efficiency with which services are targeted on persons who by normative criteria would appear to have most need of them. Efficiency is of two types: horizontal efficiency, the proportion of persons judged in need who receive services; and vertical efficiency, the proportion of services allocated to persons judged in need. The findings are that there is evidence of inequity both between different areas and between the sexes. Metropolitan areas are advantaged compared with rural areas, and this cannot be explained by differences in social support nor by the availability of other domiciliary services. Among the elderly living alone, neither sex is advantaged, but in elderly married couple households the home help service is more frequently provided in the case of a husband caring for a disabled wife than in the case of a wife caring for a disabled husband.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262860"} {"pmid": "10262862", "title": "Economic and social policies under the Reagan Administration.", "content": "Economic and social policies under the Reagan Administration.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262862"} {"pmid": "10262863", "title": "Health and stress management education in three federal agencies.", "content": "Health and stress management education in three federal agencies.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262863"} {"pmid": "10262864", "title": "Involving physicians in hospital cost containment: developing an action research strategy.", "content": "Involving physicians in hospital cost containment: developing an action research strategy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262864"} {"pmid": "10262822", "title": "Influence structures in community hospitals: a decision contingency model.", "content": "Influence structures in community hospitals: a decision contingency model.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262822"} {"pmid": "10262854", "title": "Efficiency and effectiveness rating systems for field employees.", "content": "Efficiency and effectiveness rating systems for field employees.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262854"} {"pmid": "10262867", "title": "Organizational development in the health care field: a confrontational team-building design.", "content": "Organizational development in the health care field: a confrontational team-building design.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262867"} {"pmid": "10262866", "title": "Enhancement of health care settings: the theory and practice of organizational development--a symposium.

As part of a method for assessing health risks associated with primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards. T. B. Feagans and W. F. Biller (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, May 1981) developed a technique for encoding experts' subjective probabilities regarding dose--response functions. The encoding technique is based on B. O. Koopman's (Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 1940, 46, 763-764; Annals of Mathematics, 1940, 41, 269-292) probability theory, which does not require probabilities to be sharp, but rather allows lower and upper probabilities to be associated with an event. Uncertainty about a dose--response function can be expressed either in terms of the response rate expected at a given concentration or, conversely, in terms of the concentration expected to support a given response rate. Feagans and Biller (1981, cited above) derive the relation between the two conditional probabilities, which is easily extended to upper and lower conditional probabilities. These relations were treated as coherence requirements in an experiment utilizing four ozone and four lead experts as subjects, each providing judgments on two separate occasions. Four subjects strongly satisfied the coherence requirements in both conditions. and three more did no in the second session only. The eighth subject also improved in Session 2. Encoded probabilities were highly correlated between the two sessions, but changed from the first to the second in a manner that improved coherence and reflected greater attention to certain parameters of the dose--response function.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262935"} {"pmid": "10262937", "title": "AIDS.

The survey was conducted by the authors, all from Arizona State University: George W. Bohlander, associate professor of management; Harold C. White, professor of management; and Michael N.

Determining the amount of salary increase appropriate for each employee poses a major dilemma for many human resources managers and/or compensation managers (not to mention the employee's supervisor). This task requires complying with the company's compensation philosophy, meeting market competition, and rewarding employees fairly and equitably. Authors William W. Seithel, vice president, personnel of the Midwest Stock Exchange, Inc., and Jeff S. Emans, director, employee compensation of the Kemper Group, describe a method for pinpointing a salary rate increase that is not only structured enough to move people through the salary range in accordance with a reward philosophy, but precise enough to provide a basis for projecting costs and flexible enough to meet the needs of various performance levels. The method entails the use of a structured matrix that spells out the target percentage raises for various levels of performance. By using both the matrix-which is constructed to meet the individual company's needs-and a guide chart provided by the authors, it is possible to calculate a specific percentage increase for each employee. The manager who uses this system will find that the matrix is a mechanism for control as well as a means for projecting costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262948"} {"pmid": "10262949", "title": "Between language extremists: find a happy medium for business memos.", "content": "Between language extremists: find a happy medium for business memos. As business communicators, human resources managers must convey messages to many different people-their subordinates, upper-level management, all employees, or the public. In performing this function, human resources managers, like most managers, frequently find themselves caught in the conflict between language purists and language libertines. Author Ronald Dulek, associate professor and coordinator of management communications, and James Suchan, assistant professor of management communications-both at the university of Alabama-contend that on way out of this dilemma is to use two touchstones (clarity and persona) for determining the appropriate language to use in writing corporate communications. Thus, while it is imperative that managers maintain their \"persona,' or image by, for example, making sure that their subjects and verbs agree, it may be perfectly all right for them to use split infinitives or to end sentences with preposition-almost everyone does-as long as the message is clear and the language conveys the image they wish to project. Such a touchstone approach gives managers a checklist for evaluating and guiding others' prose and evaluating and defending their own. Human resources managers, in particular, can incorporate this approach in training.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262949"} {"pmid": "10262966", "title": "Chief hospital pharmacists: how they rate wholesalers' services.", "content": "Chief hospital pharmacists: how they rate wholesalers' services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262966"} {"pmid": "10262967", "title": "Home health care pharmacy: why it represents a new, exciting practice.", "content": "Home health care pharmacy: why it represents a new, exciting practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262967"} {"pmid": "10262965", "title": "How to take a 'common sense' approach to lobbying.", "content": "How to take a 'common sense' approach to lobbying.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262965"} {"pmid": "10262968", "title": "How to properly fit a patient for a wheelchair.", "content": "How to properly fit a patient for a wheelchair.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262968"} {"pmid": "10262969", "title": "How we teach patients to properly take their discharge medications.", "content": "How we teach patients to properly take their discharge medications.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262969"} {"pmid": "10262970", "title": "Rx fee in Utah rises if drug quantity extends beyond 30 days.", "content": "Rx fee in Utah rises if drug quantity extends beyond 30 days.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262970"} {"pmid": "10262977", "title": "Energy conservation hazards in buildings.", "content": "Energy conservation hazards in buildings.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262977"} {"pmid": "10262971", "title": "29 pharmacists served with Project Hope to boost health in lesser-developed nations.", "content": "29 pharmacists served with Project Hope to boost health in lesser-developed nations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262971"} {"pmid": "10262978", "title": "Inhalation injury--a major burn complication.", "content": "Inhalation injury--a major burn complication.

Recordings were taken of the biceps brachii muscle of 15 patients during performance of lower extremity exercise, and from the medial gastrocnemius muscle of 12 patients during performance of an upper extremity exercise. Each muscle was examined six times in the same session: three of these repetitions being conducted in a RIP, the other three in a neutral position. The highest EMG values recorded in each of the two test situations were compared. The results did not point to a definite relationship between the RIPs and the electrical activity of the test muscles.

It is professionalization--the dynamic process of refinement through which the character and spirit of a profession is made real and operative--which is more relevant. Part of that process is quite obviously the application of new knowledge which today is growing at an increasing rate. Note this paradox: that although each profession grows by accentuating its own distinctive knowledge, that very specialization leads in turn to the need for closer relationships with allied professions. Equally important is each profession's need to continue to redefine its relationship with its clients. Continuing education is an essential tool in both of these tasks. Recent studies elicited a variety of reasons for the professional's interest and engagement in continuing education: to become better informed; to gain personal enrichment; to achieve career advancement; to satisfy individual curiosity; to fulfill an employer's requirements; to qualify for licensure; to meet new people; or to break out of a routine. Typically, continuing education is promoted by professional schools, university extension divisions, employing agencies, the professional association itself--and even its commercial suppliers. Physiotherapists ought reasonably to ask themselves these questions: What goals are to be sought in the ensuing five years? Which of these can be met through continuing education? What barriers to continuing education now exist? What methodology and delivery of continuing education will best serve the profession? How can this educational thrust be harnessed to improve physiotherapists' relationships with other professionals--and the general public?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262974"} {"pmid": "10262975", "title": "Implementing and evaluating continuing professional education: elements of a strategy.", "content": "Implementing and evaluating continuing professional education: elements of a strategy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262975"} {"pmid": "10262976", "title": "Malpractice: a perspective for physiotherapists.", "content": "Malpractice: a perspective for physiotherapists. A malpractice action--one aspect of the application of legal principles known as the law of torts--is a means whereby an injured party may seek compensation for harm caused by another party. The primary function of the law of torts is to determine whether the injurer is under a legal obligation to provide compensation to the injured for some loss due to negligent or faulty conduct. A malpractice action against a physiotherapist involves a plaintiff patient who has been injured, a defendant physiotherapist who stands accused of having caused an injury, and a determination as to whether or not the physiotherapist should bear the loss. In order to establish the liability in negligence, a plaintiff must satisfy four requirements: duty of care, breach of standard of care, causation, and damage. In this paper, a case study of malpractice action against a physiotherapist is outlined as an example of the type of arguments used by both the plaintiff and the defendant. Malpractice actions are an important means of controlling the standards of all health professionals. Because increasingly complicated technology and increased pressures on health care professionals are unlikely to reduce the number of accidents, the malpractice action will continue to provide recourse for those patients injured by lapses from the requisite standards of a profession. The threat of a malpractice action alone, however, is not enough to ensure high professional and ethical standards.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10262976"} {"pmid": "10262990", "title": "The battle for home care reimbursement.

This paper deals with the present hospital financing system of the Federal Republic of Germany. The structure of the financing system is treated as well as the actual financing process, and, as far as possible, both are also quantitatively described. The first section contains a description of the structure, and is concerned with the major institutions participating in the hospital financing system:--the hospitals are described according to ownership, number of beds, specialization, personnel, regional distribution and utilization;--the health insurance system is illustrated by the two major institutions, i.e. statutory and private health insurance agencies, and its effect on hospital financing is explained;--the regulation of the hospital financing system by the federal political system is discussed;--finally, the major economic functions of the institutions involved are summarized; the interrelations of hospital care and the ambulatory sector are also mentioned. The second section contains a detailed description of the actual financing process, which can be classified according to the sections of financing:--the basic system of the German hospital financing law is introduced;--in the section on investment costs, public grants and their allocation, which are closely related to hospital planning, are discussed;--in the section on operating costs, full cost reimbursement as the basic principle, the structure of costs, the elements and the mechanism of operating cost financing, the actual prices, the financing of private patients' care and special services are described;--a short view of accounting balances, i.e. the differences between costs and financing of hospital services which result in profits or deficits, is given. A few considerations on the evaluation of the financing system conclude the paper.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263167"} {"pmid": "10263166", "title": "Prevention: a technical and political issue.", "content": "Prevention: a technical and political issue.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263166"} {"pmid": "10263169", "title": "Transporting databanks of medical information from one location to another.", "content": "Transporting databanks of medical information from one location to another. If ever clinical information systems, particularly those used to support decision-making, are to become of more than local value, there is an urgent need to develop 'transportable' databanks of information - that is to say, databanks which can be utilised for one purpose or another at different locations geographically without degradation of their effectiveness. This presentation discusses the problems caused by the need to develop 'transportable' databanks. First, the rationale for their need and for their use is discussed. It is pointed out that increasing mobility of patients and doctors demands increasing standardisation and harmonisation of clinical terminology and databanks of information. Next, the present situation is reviewed in some detail. The current lack of 'transportable' databanks is described, and the effects of this set out. Specifically, the factors which prevent current databanks being used outside their own centre of origin are listed; such as differences of hardware and software, differences in perceived and actual needs, inadequate sampling, analysis and testing, and geographical variation in disease spectra and disease presentation. The consequence of this need is a need to develop and test multi-national databanks of information, and this presentation next defines what is needed in order to produce such databanks. Areas discussed include the definition of the clinical problem, construction of proformata and collection of data, matrix construction and testing, and finally wide distribution. In conclusion, the presentation defines some of the future perceived needs in respect of databanks and some of the problems which will arise in their construction. It is concluded that action is necessary now on a multinational basis in order to develop the databanks of information - truly transportable - which will have become mandatory by the 1990's.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263169"} {"pmid": "10263168", "title": "Balance sheet of health organisation reform in Italy.", "content": "Balance sheet of health organisation reform in Italy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263168"} {"pmid": "10263170", "title": "What the National Hospital Union means to its members.", "content": "What the National Hospital Union means to its members.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263170"} {"pmid": "10263171", "title": "Seattle nurses prove 'unity is power'.", "content": "Seattle nurses prove 'unity is power'.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263171"} {"pmid": "10263173", "title": "Infectious diseases: a question of priorities.", "content": "Infectious diseases: a question of priorities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263173"} {"pmid": "10263174", "title": "Drug therapy and monitoring: a team responsibility.", "content": "Drug therapy and monitoring: a team responsibility.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263174"} {"pmid": "10263172", "title": "Poisoning: epidemiology and prevention.", "content": "Poisoning: epidemiology and prevention.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263172"} {"pmid": "10263177", "title": "How to maximize the return from your operational budget.", "content": "How to maximize the return from your operational budget.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263177"} {"pmid": "10263175", "title": "Graying population means rosier fund raising ahead.", "content": "Graying population means rosier fund raising ahead.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263175"} {"pmid": "10263176", "title": "Financial analysis & planning: tools for non-profit organizations.", "content": "Financial analysis & planning: tools for non-profit organizations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263176"} {"pmid": "10263178", "title": "Copy makes difference in this Salvation Army appeal.", "content": "Copy makes difference in this Salvation Army appeal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263178"} {"pmid": "10263179", "title": "Examining the role of a hospital trustee.", "content": "Examining the role of a hospital trustee.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263179"} {"pmid": "10263153", "title": "Maximizing the yield from blood cultures in suspected infective endocarditis.", "content": "Maximizing the yield from blood cultures in suspected infective endocarditis.

The \"New Biology\" has already made profound impact on the law. Cryonics and genetic engineering represent technological triumphs. The natural, organic process of dying is being replaced by a humanly engineered technological process for living. The dying phase of life is prolonged until biological knowledge is available to reverse the dying phase and restore the living phase. Both cryonics and genetic engineering in their attempts to replace the organic process with the technological process disturb the delicate balance of the triad of life which each individual experiences--faith, health, and justice. Since law is a basic tool to achieve justice among human beings, how should it respond to the health argument of the cryonics' physician who views death as a disease which is curable? How should the law respond to the faith questions surrounding the cryonics patient? What am I? A block of ice. Who am I? A living, comatose patient or a dormant, static body with the possibility of a reverter. Why am I? A new human being now endowed with immortality through the triumph of life over death founded on man's current faith in the God called Technology. Cryonics through its unbalancing of the traditional triad of life poses formidable challenges to the major institutions of faith, health and justice.

It is assumed that the characteristics of a given human group interact with the resources and the stressors of its environment, with its level of QOL as the result. The utility and the implications of the model for resource decisions are demonstrated with data from a statewide need assessment. In this application, different life domains, and different program targets within life domains, are prioritized according to their relative contributions to QOL.

However, the need existed to provide faculty with basic resource materials, guidelines, and approaches, as well as training in integrating ethnic minority content. Department chairs perceived summer institutes for faculty as a mechanism for fulfilling ethnic minority content requirements. Internship directors perceived continuing education programs as most advantageous. Issues regarding the implications of the apparent dearth of ethnic minority content in psychology are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263346"} {"pmid": "10263340", "title": "Sweep-frequency marker generator for blood pressure transducer testing.", "content": "Sweep-frequency marker generator for blood pressure transducer testing. A circuit which places accurate frequency calibrations on swept-frequency recordings is presented. This circuit is useful in the calibration of direct blood pressure transducers and will have applications in the testing of other biological transducers as well. The design range of 1 Hz to 128 square root 2 Hz is suitable for testing a broad range of biological transducers and systems. The circuit basically measures the periods between successive zero crossings. Pulses are generated that may be recorded on a swept-frequency strip chart record of an individual transducer. A series of sixteen marker pulses indicates 1 Hz, square root 2 Hz, 2 Hz, 2 square root 2 Hz, up to 128 square root 2 Hz. A special wide pulse at 16 Hz distinguishes the marker pulses.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263340"} {"pmid": "10263339", "title": "Hospital telemetry monitoring systems.", "content": "Hospital telemetry monitoring systems.

From a health standpoint, the residential environment is both the dwelling and its associated areas. The dwelling and related area are interrelated both in terms of sanitation problems affecting physical health and other problems affecting mental health. The residential environment certainly represents a complicated public health problem. The issue of inadequate shelter has been addressed throughout history, but the relationship of shelter and health brings it to our attention now. It is estimated that one out of every four persons in our nation lives with some kind of shelter deficiency. The Federal Housing Act of 1949 was instrumental in creating an awareness that the quality of shelter and the surrounding environment has a great influence upon the physical and mental health and well-being of each individual. When the Housing Act of 1949 was passed, the American Public Health Association Committee on the Hygiene of Housing acknowledged the role public health agencies would have in eliminating and preventing health hazards associated with substandard dwellings. It also recognized the need for a formal code to establish minimum standards for the condition and maintenance of dwellings.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263348"} {"pmid": "10263362", "title": "Patient rights versus patient care.", "content": "Patient rights versus patient care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263362"} {"pmid": "10263363", "title": "Infection control.

Smoking, diet and weight control, physical fitness, and general health items were included. Factor analysis methods identified ten concerns; smoking, weight control, exercise effects, peer approval of appearance, preparatory health behaviors, planning and maintaining a personal health program, feeling good about oneself, communication issues, comparisons with others, and resistance to negative peer influences.

The implementation of patient education within the hospital setting can be justified for a variety of reasons. The rationale for implementing patient education can be justified in terms of escalating emphasis on consumerism and informed participation on the part of the health-care recipient, the support of federal legislation, the support of hospital regulatory bodies, the support of third-party insurance carriers and private foundations, increased cooperation and compliance on the part of the patient, reduced stress levels for the hospitalized patient, and the improvement of staff-patient relationships. All of these serve as a database that justifies the integration of patient education within hospital care services. Patient education is the responsibility of the existing health-care system. In many instances, patient education is still not being approached in a serious manner.

The major deficiency with most common graphic performance-appraisal scales is their emphasis on retrospective evaluation and documentation, rather than on communication and education. So charges author Roger Plachy, management consultant, who advocates instead the use of the Performance Outcome Appraisal Scale (POAS) or the Jobs Results Appraisal Scale (JRAS). The focus of the POAS is away from the employee and toward behavior outcomes so as to minimize personal defensive reactions and to emphasize a performance standard or level of management expectation for the job responsibility or dimension. A conceptual difference separates POAS from other rating scales--that is, it is based on the belief that although the product of the procedure is a job plan and performance appraisal, the nature of the process is communication. The emphasis is not on judging behavior, but on teaching employees to think in terms of which job performance outcomes are really important to the organization. The JRAS is identical to the POAS in structure, but it starts with the desired job results as defined in the job description, rather than with performance outcomes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263512"} {"pmid": "10263528", "title": "Learning the hard way how to sell wellness services to the corporate market.", "content": "Learning the hard way how to sell wellness services to the corporate market.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263528"} {"pmid": "10263529", "title": "Motivating change: one alternative to the health hazard appraisal.", "content": "Motivating change: one alternative to the health hazard appraisal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263529"} {"pmid": "10263530", "title": "More competition, antitrust laws will not lead to better care.", "content": "More competition, antitrust laws will not lead to better care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263530"} {"pmid": "10263531", "title": "Deinstitutionalization: may work for some, but still has problems.", "content": "Deinstitutionalization: may work for some, but still has problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263531"} {"pmid": "10263533", "title": "Involuntary patient treatment left to California M.D.'s.", "content": "Involuntary patient treatment left to California M.D.'s.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263533"} {"pmid": "10263532", "title": "APA against D.C. bill to allow psychologists hospital privileges.", "content": "APA against D.C. bill to allow psychologists hospital privileges.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263532"} {"pmid": "10263534", "title": "Threat of more malpractice suits may be facing psychiatrists.", "content": "Threat of more malpractice suits may be facing psychiatrists.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263534"} {"pmid": "10263535", "title": "AMA Commissioner, former President speaks on JCAH proposed medical staff standard.

The authors analyze some of the assumptions underlying most current research on television. They emphasize the dependence on (1) an individual rather than an institutional level of analysis; (2) a model of research utilization that pays little explicit attention to where sources of leverage lie for changes in programming; (3) extremely simple models of the selection processes associated with different levels of television viewing; and (4) uncritical appraisals of the consequences of effects that many would call small or modest. These issues are illustrated by a general discussion of the NIMH report on Television and Behavior and specific discussion of \"mainstreaming\" and the effects of television violence. In 1972, POQ's editors invited Leo Bogart to prepare an extended review article of the Surgeon-General's Study of Television and Social Behavior (POQ 36:491-521). When the 10-year follow-up study was released by NIMH in 1982, the editors asked Thomas D.

In summary, the need for a strong foundation cannot be over emphasized. The staff quality and team atmosphere within a department of radiologic services are essential to the success of a program; the results we experienced at Dover General Hospital could not have evolved if either of these factors were not attained. Once a program has passed the FELT System criteria, it should be presented and implemented as soon as possible. Once in place, it should be reviewed periodically, and input by all affected staff will be helpful in the evaluation. Modification may be necessary as the department grows and technology changes, but the basic system should never change if the FELT System has been utilized. It is my opinion that the FELT System process is a managerial tool that can be utilized at any program at any level of management. Positive reinforcement inherent in the FELT System is essential to the growth and success of the decision-making process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263553"} {"pmid": "10263552", "title": "1983 Statistical Resources Committee survey/Part 1.

Secondly, primary care physicians have changed their perceptions of patients' psychiatric problems.

One result of this has been that physicians are now able to detect these problems and to intervene before the problem reaches serious proportions.

Senior pharmacy students were observed and rated relative to the performance criteria of effectiveness and efficiency in acquiring patient medication histories over an eight-week period in an ambulatory medicine clinic. A significant Kendall Coefficient of Concordance indicated that the judges involved applied essentially the same standards in ranking the subjects. Subjects were administered a six-item questionnaire, the Choice Dilemmas Questionnaire (CDQ), which measured their risk taking propensity. There were significant differences in mean levels of risk taking between the groups rated as high and low in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. Effective and efficient interviewers, who successfully completed interviews, were significantly higher in risk taking propensity. Tetrachoric r indicated the CDQ was efficient in distinguishing the criterion groups.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263626"} {"pmid": "10263627", "title": "'Wrongful birth' lawsuits raise complex social issues.", "content": "'Wrongful birth' lawsuits raise complex social issues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263627"} {"pmid": "10263628", "title": "A thoroughbred plant.", "content": "A thoroughbred plant.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263628"} {"pmid": "10263629", "title": "Reagonomics: a change in thinking needed.", "content": "Reagonomics: a change in thinking needed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263629"} {"pmid": "10263634", "title": "Lighting those visual display terminals--in the cause of the operator's comfort.", "content": "Lighting those visual display terminals--in the cause of the operator's comfort.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263634"} {"pmid": "10263635", "title": "On understanding changing marketplaces, and changing tactics for getting things built.", "content": "On understanding changing marketplaces, and changing tactics for getting things built.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263635"} {"pmid": "10263639", "title": "Health spin-off from work in radio-astronomy.", "content": "Health spin-off from work in radio-astronomy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263639"} {"pmid": "10263640", "title": "Scheme to save hospitals millions a year.", "content": "Scheme to save hospitals millions a year.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263640"} {"pmid": "10263642", "title": "Business communication, Part 3: Successful meeting a business rarity.", "content": "Business communication, Part 3: Successful meeting a business rarity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263642"} {"pmid": "10263641", "title": "Electricity load management.", "content": "Electricity load management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263641"} {"pmid": "10263647", "title": "Medicare threat to hospital system.", "content": "Medicare threat to hospital system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263647"} {"pmid": "10263644", "title": "One chef's crusade for interesting food in hospitals.", "content": "One chef's crusade for interesting food in hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263644"} {"pmid": "10263643", "title": "Nurses launch attack on Richmond Report.", "content": "Nurses launch attack on Richmond Report.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263643"} {"pmid": "10263645", "title": "The chasm between admin and nursing.", "content": "The chasm between admin and nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263645"} {"pmid": "10263648", "title": "Are staff the casualty in the casualty ward?", "content": "Are staff the casualty in the casualty ward?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263648"} {"pmid": "10263630", "title": "Individualized instruction and evaluative rationale.", "content": "Individualized instruction and evaluative rationale.

Further analyses revealed no differences between any of the groups on fear of death or death anxiety, indicating that the current state of an individual's health was not related to his or her death orientation.

The two national training courses reflect a difference in disease focus (ie, trauma vs cardiac) and thus a difference in care rendered by the two EMT levels. Variations in both EMT-A and EMT-P training programs at the state level in areas such as length of training and requirements for certification point out a need for greater consistency in training of emergency medical personnel.

Gender, age, marital status, and educational attainment were all considered predictors of death-related concerns; but none was found to be significant, nor were concerns about death observed to vary according to illness type. The psychological states found to accompany greater death-related concerns among ill people proved to represent both the adaptive and the dislocative processes of mourning. People who were not ill, but who had greater death-related concerns than other well people, on contrast, showed signs only of the more dislocative processes. Some of the implications of these findings for thanatological counseling of severely ill people are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263691"} {"pmid": "10263689", "title": "Bereavement and personal constructs: old theories and new concepts.", "content": "Bereavement and personal constructs: old theories and new concepts. This paper reviews several traditional and current theories regarding the nature of bereavement and argues that conceptualizing grieving in personal construct terms can clarify and extend existing work in this area. In particular, it is contended that a personal construct view of the importance of \"core role\" (self) structure helps explain Bowlby's theory of \"defensive exclusion\" of the reality of the death: because an individual's perceived relationship with a significant other helps define his or her core role, loss of the relationship through death directly challenges the most central dimensions of the bereaved person's construct system.

Employee Counseling Services (ECS) programs have emerged as an effective method for dealing with employees whose job performance has deteriorated due to personal problems such as alcoholism or drug abuse. It is estimated that 18% of any work force is effected by such problems at any given time and that these employees cost industry billions of dollars annually in lost productivity, abuse of sick leave, etc. One of the critical concerns of this emerging field is the need for comprehensive evaluation that can demonstrate the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefits of ECS programs. This paper will describe the model Federal ECS developed at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as well as the components of the evaluation system designed to determine its effectiveness.

Only some of these approaches are usually considered program evaluation. This diversity is illustrated by a description of the history of 10 program evaluation-like approaches to understanding as they operated during the 18-year life of the federal Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) Program. When services were funded in federal categorical programs, information-gathering approaches focused narrowly on the program and its activities.

Pharmacists are continually faced with drug product selection decisions. When is a generic drug product equivalent to the innovator product and, thus, a suitable candidate for generic substitution? The FDA policy has been that only drug products that are therapeutic equivalents are candidates for product selection decisions. This paper outlines the regulatory and scientific framework for the FDA's policies and requirements for generic drug products. The history and current status of the Drug Efficacy Study Implementation (DESI) project is described. Originally begun in 1966 as a review of about 3,400 drug products, the review in mid-1983 is more than 90% complete, but its impact has already affected more than 7,000 marketed drug products. The therapeutic equivalence policy and the manner in which decisions on therapeutic equivalence are communicated are reviewed. Regulatory policies for the approval of generic drug products are reviewed and specific litigation challenging the rights of generic drug manufacturers to produce generic \"look-alikes\" and challenging the FDA's policy that a generic drug product is a new drug requiring an approved New Drug Application for marketing is discussed. The conclusion reached is that the evaluation of regulatory requirements and science is leading to a point where all generic drug products will be known to be safe, effective and therapeutically equivalent, and pharmacists can be optimistic about the quality of products in the generic drug market.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263719"} {"pmid": "10263720", "title": "National drug formularies: lessons from Latin America.", "content": "National drug formularies: lessons from Latin America. Although pharmaceuticals comprise up to 40% of the health care budget in developing countries, the majority of the population does not have access to many of the essential drugs needed to treat prevalent diseases. This situation demands the development of a national formulary of essential drugs for the public sector. The approach used in developing countries is to select drugs of choice for the treatment of prevalent morbidities and avoid therapeutic duplication, unacceptably dangerous drugs, or drugs of unproven efficacy. Drugs are selected based on a review of the prevalent morbidities, health care worker training, patient characteristics, and efficacy/risk information resulting from scientifically sound studies. An added component to the formulary is the inclusion of concise, unbiased prescribing information for each drug selected. A number of product selection guidelines were proven to be effective in establishing and maintaining an essential drug formulary for developing countries. These guidelines include: 1. Selection of drugs with proven efficacy and acceptable risk; 2. Selection of minimum number of drugs needed to treat the prevalent diseases; 3. Inclusion of new products only if they are found to have distinct advantages over products currently in use; 4. Inclusion of combination products only when they provide true benefit over single ingredients; 5. Selection of drugs with clear \"drug of choice\" indications for prevalent diseases; 6. Evaluation of the administrative and cost impact of products; and 7.

The status of Emergency Medical Technicians has evolved from an undefined role with few rules, regulations, or standards to an established health care profession and a nationally administered program. The evolution of this profession received major impetus from the 1966 report by the National Academy of Science/National Research Council that provided recommended training standards. Development of a training course curriculum for basic life support (BLS) followed. The need for coordinated training of Emergency Medical Technical Technicians was recognized, and funds became available to aid in the national standardization of education, examination, certification, and recertification procedures for EMTs. Concomitant with the attempt to standardize BLS training, advanced life support (ALS) programs grew in number. By 1977 the National Standard Training Curriculum became available and was soon followed by a national certification exam. As states have the option to accept or reject the federal standards embodied in the national training course, there remains variation among programs offered by each state. Because of the difference in need for specific emergency services among the states at a time of increased professional mobility, arguments still exist regarding the desirability of federally mandated training and certification programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263701"} {"pmid": "10263708", "title": "The ethics dilemma.", "content": "The ethics dilemma.", "url":

Our OLS findings agree with previous OLS studies--unions increase registered nurses' (RNs) wages by five percent and by about eight to ten percent for other hospital workers. By contrast, we find (after correcting for selectivity bias in hospital unionization status) a direct union effect of about twenty percent on RN wages and in excess of thirty percent on wages of other hospital workers. While the results based on selectivity bias adjustments make us uneasy, we do not reject them out-of-hand. We also find indirect union effects (up to five percent) by other unionized occupations within a hospital and up to ten percent by other unionized hospitals in the local labor market. Prospective reimbursement programs have a negative impact on the wages of hospital workers but are only significant for non-unionized occupations. Our three empirical tests of monopsony all reject the view that monopsony is a factor in hospital wage-setting. Even considering the large union effects (based on selectivity bias adjustment), we conclude that unions have been a minor contributor to hospital cost inflation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263950"} {"pmid": "10263952", "title": "The potential for using excise taxes to reduce smoking.", "content": "The potential for using excise taxes to reduce smoking.

We find that price has its greatest effect on the smoking behavior of young males and that it operates primarily on the decision to smoke rather than via adjustments in the quantity of cigarettes smoked.

We present the Maximum Likelihood estimates of an eleven-equation, simultaneous multiple-indicator, multiple-causes (MIMIC) model, containing two simultaneously determined unobservables and, in total, nine 'indicators'. Data used stem from a health-care survey among 8000 households in The Netherlands. The results show, among other things, that health and permanent income have mutual, positive impacts. Both age and education have important direct and indirect (via permanent income) effects on health. The estimated impact of the availability of health care on individual demand confirms similar results based on aggregated data.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263954"} {"pmid": "10263956", "title": "Schooling and health: the cigarette connection.", "content": "Schooling and health: the cigarette connection. Schooling is significantly correlated with health status, but is the relationship causal? This paper tests the hypothesis that schooling causes differences in an important health-affecting behavior: cigarette smoking. The most striking result is that for persons with 12 to 18 years of completed schooling, the strong negative relation between schooling and smoking observed at age 24 is accounted for by differences in smoking behavior at age 17, when all subjects were still in the same grade. Causality from schooling to smoking, and by implication from schooling to health, is rejected in favor of a 'third variable' hypothesis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10263956"} {"pmid": "10263957", "title": "Physician-induced demand: an empirical analysis of the consumer information gap.", "content": "Physician-induced demand: an empirical analysis of the consumer information gap.

One of the few studies, conducted in Michigan, found that the oldest and most frail elderly were a target group of elevated risk. Victims of neglect or abusive tend to be living with adult children or other informal caretakers who become neglectful or abuse when the burdens of providing care for a frail, elderly person interact with stress, little or no preparation for providing personal care over a long time span, medical problems of the caretaker, alcohol abuse, financial difficulties, and other situational factors. Family histories of neglect or abuse and other causal hypotheses have also been investigated.

This article attempts to narrow the range of moral disagreement surrounding the issue of abortion by exploring current assumptions and comparing thinking about abortion with our thinking about death. Focusing the abortion debate on questions such as when life begins or whether the fetus is a person has thrust us into scientific uncertainty and definitional disputes. It is suggested that the focus of the debate should be shifted to the issue of whether the fetus merits our protection. Moral judgements regarding personhood represent a complex balancing that involves weighing our interests in protecting an entity against the loss to our liberty implied by such protection. This approach requires a Copernican revolution in our thinking about abortion, in which 3 major factors--the nature of the entity, the impact of its mistreatment on our broadest human interests, and the specific implications of its protection for our liberty--are considered in a relational whole. Similarly, the continuum in the dying process requires us to determine which aspect of human death will be recognized as morally significant. Since determinations with regard to life and death are arbitrary, societies must select their own moral values and take responsibility for collective moral decisions. It is concluded that the US Supreme Court decision that allows free access to abortion in the 1st trimester, imposes a requirement of medical supervision in the 2nd, and prohibits abortion in most cases in the 3rd trimester represents a reasonable response to the moral issues at stake.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264110"} {"pmid": "10264112", "title": "Sports.

Patients include infants, children, and adolescents with a wide variety of chronic illnesses including leukemia, muscular dystrophy, pulmonary disorders, failure to thrive, and seizure disorders. In addition to extensive work with families in the home, the REACH program incorporates a feedback system for its nurses, a progress-oriented record system, carefully designed agreements between tertiary care centers and community agencies, and an innovative training program for its nurses. REACH intends to serve about 1000 children during its 3-year demonstration phase. Success will be based on careful monitoring of costs, family functioning, and school attendance.

The program rests on two beliefs: (a) that a network can successfully focus on the generic needs of children with chronic or handicapping conditions and of their families; and (b) that a network can improve care by enhancing coordinating collaboration among existing services without creating new ones. Efforts of the past two years have centered on three specific areas: preparation and dissemination of written materials; creation of new links among families, health and education professionals, organizations, associations, and community institutions; and training in networking techniques. ACCH has prepared two pamphlets for families, schools, and health professionals on community issues and on hospitalization. In addition, a demonstration model for community networking has been established in the Houston/Galveston area. Finally, training programs in the skills of community networking have been established. Work is beginning to replicate the community networking model through other ACCH regional affiliates.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264193"} {"pmid": "10264197", "title": "There's no place like home.", "content": "There's no place like home.

Yet, planning and experimentation with the concept of pediatric home care is just beginning on both the national and local levels and the concept of home care has yet to become widely understood and accepted. As a result, health planners and policy markers often fail to realize the potential advantage of home care to children, to families, and to society. Instead of seeing it as the most humane and effective way of caring for the chronically ill child, they see it as an increased financial burden. They also lack the perspective needed to realize that home care is ultimately the most cost-effective health care alternative, since it involves investing in people rather than in buildings or equipment. This report attempts to disseminate more widely the concept of home care by recounting a 2-year experience with a hospital-based pediatric home care service.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264197"} {"pmid": "10264196", "title": "A home care program for children with chronic illness.", "content": "A home care program for children with chronic illness. Pediatric Home Care (PHC) of Albert Einstein College of Medicine was designed as a special ambulatory care unit for children who are seriously or chronically ill and whose needs were not being met successfully through conventional programming. Services include: monitoring the patient's care: delivering direct services in the home, clinic, and hospital; teaching therapeutic programs to the family and patient; coordinating services; patient advocacy; health education; and supportive counseling. Each patient has a core team consisting of a generalist pediatrician, a PNP, and the patient's family. Visits are provided in the patient's home as needed, as well as in the traditional locations of the clinic, the inpatient units, and the PHC office.

Since people do not rank goods identically, there is no theoretically correct way for public agencies to assess the quality of goods or services. Yet, from a social perspective, it is often important to evaluate quality. The traditional categorization of quality assessment approaches in health care is by structure, process and outcome variables. A somewhat different taxonomy is presented here: (a) market variables; (b) questionnaire results; (c) output measures; and (d) input measures. The market approach is rare in the health care field, but it is the approach most consonant with the economic way of thinking. All four approaches are examined from an economic perspective. Studies of nursing home care are classified by this new taxonomy.

Prior to 1972, ESRD patients selected for maintenance dialysis or renal transplantation were generally young, emotionally and socially well-adjusted, and physically healthy except for their renal disease. Following the enactment of Public Law 92-603 (1972), which extended Medicare coverage to virtually all ESRD patients, the criteria for the selection of patients were substantially liberalized. During the past decade, maintenance therapy has increasingly been provided for severely debilitated ESRD patients whose reported levels of rehabilitation have been less than desired. While the majority of the current ESRD patient population have not been restored to their premorbid levels of individual and social functioning, recent studies suggest this may be the result of initiating rehabilitation efforts too late in the disease process. For optimal social functioning to be achieved by ESRD patients, it is concluded that psychosocial intervention and support must be initiated at the time ESRD is diagnosed and be focused on the maintenance, rather than rehabilitation, of the patient's functioning.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264237"} {"pmid": "10264238", "title": "Conducting state and local health needs assessments.

As part of the National Hospice Study, volunteer hours and activities were reported monthly in forth participating hospices nationwide. Most volunteers were white females with at least a high school education. The attitude of paid staff toward volunteers was overwhelmingly positive. Overall, the level of volunteer involvement is approximately 1.5 hours per patient each day he or she spends in the hospice program. This breaks down to nearly .80 hours of direct patient care and .70 hours devoted to other activities. While the most prevalent use of volunteers is in the provision of direct patient care in freestanding hospices, volunteers also spend a large proportion of their time in the performance of administrative activities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264241"} {"pmid": "10264242", "title": "Monitoring simultaneously two or more indices of health care.

An empirical approach to studying this problem was developed, using responses to a clinical performance evaluation instrument that uses a four-point behaviorally-anchored scale. Various combinations of nonlinear transformations were applied to the evaluation responses. The factorial structure of the fifteen items constituting the evaluation form was minimally affected by the transformations, suggesting that parametric statistics can be applied to behaviorally-anchored rating scales.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264243"} {"pmid": "10264245", "title": "Protection from hazards.", "content": "Protection from hazards.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264245"} {"pmid": "10264247", "title": "Industrial techniques & foodservice.", "content": "Industrial techniques & foodservice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264247"} {"pmid": "10264248", "title": "The older employee: risks, rights & responsibilities.", "content": "The older employee: risks, rights & responsibilities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264248"} {"pmid": "10264232", "title": "Refusal of care and treatment.", "content": "Refusal of care and treatment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264232"} {"pmid": "10264249", "title": "The older employee & the law.", "content": "The older employee & the law.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264249"} {"pmid": "10264250", "title": "Urban hospital's rehab efforts lead health trend.

Whether there is the national resolve to put the lid on accelerating health costs is questionable, but at least a clear understanding of that fact and its consequences may lead to a few successful hardheaded programs and provide preventive medicine for the numerous trivial programs that no doubt will continue to spring up.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264277"} {"pmid": "10264278", "title": "Selecting a small business computer.", "content": "Selecting a small business computer.

The original system was developed using 500 mg aminophylline in 250 ml of 5% dextrose injection in a polyvinyl chloride bag (PVC). An ancillary label was developed to be affixed to the bag to assist in maintaining flow rates. Later, this system was adapted to a premixed solution prepared by Travenol Laboratories. The difference, though, was the fact that a solution of 400 mg theophylline (equivalent to 500 mg of aminophylline) in 250 ml of 5% dextrose solution (PVC) was used. Hence, a new auxiliary label indicating flow rates between aminophylline and theophylline was developed. The success of both systems gave us more advantages than disadvantages. This was especially true with the premixed system. We feel that the auxiliary flow rate label helped maintain rates whether the physicians orders were written in theophylline or aminophylline.

Not all cultures are equally powerful, however; Sathe presents some approaches for diagnosing a culture and understanding its strengths along with some implications for managerial action. Noting that a \"perfect\" culture-person fit is difficult to engineer, he makes suggestions for avoiding such mismatches and for better managing the culture shocks that inevitably hit the newcomer to an organization.

A mean (+/- SD) of 12.1 +/- 3.9 criteria were met. The range included two programs that met only one criterion and 15 that met all 18. After it was established that the criteria operated independently of each other, six factors were analyzed to observe their impact on the number of criteria met by the 281 programs. Analysis of variation (ANOVA) showed that presence and type of program coordinator accounted for 17% of explained variance, subject for 8%, hospital size for 4.4%, existence of a defined budget for 4%, and geographic location for 3%.

The phenomenon of employee theft is examined empirically, utilizing a deterrence paradigm. Employees selected randomly from three different industry sectors and metropolitan areas were asked to self-report their involvement in a number of property theft activities within the employment setting. Using a weighted least-squares logit regression analysis, the study found that the perception of both the certainty and severity of organizational sanctions were related to employee theft. Males reported more theft than did females, but contrary to previous research, no gender/certainty or gender/severity interactions were observed. The best-fit model did, however, contain two significant first-order interactions: age/certainty and age/severity. These interactions strongly suggest that younger employees are not as deterrable as their older peers, especially under conditions of both high certainty and high severity of punishment. While a number of possible explanations might account for differential deterrability according to age, a commitment to or stakes in conformity explanation is proposed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264479"} {"pmid": "10264484", "title": "Pay equity and American nurses: a legal analysis.", "content": "Pay equity and American nurses: a legal analysis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264484"} {"pmid": "10264467", "title": "The housekeeping department.

This paper describes a potential strategy for implementing a Drug Utilization Review (DUR) program aimed at reducing hospital drug expenditures. The importance of this type of program is underscored by the spiraling rise in health care expenditures and the influence of a new drug technology on this rise. The program described here consists of a utilization review program for high cost drugs for which a lower cost alternative exists. An initial retrospective usage and cost analysis must be undertaken to identify those drugs which should be reviewed initially. As the DUR program progresses, additional drugs can be added to the review program. Once the drugs to be reviewed are identified, the first step is to develop usage criteria. This can be accomplished through a review of the literature and consultation with medical and other specialists. Appropriate medical administrative staff approval and endorsement of the criteria should be obtained utilizing various committee structures and other input. The pharmacy staff must also be inserviced on the approved drug usage criteria. After the criteria are finalized, staff pharmacists will contact a DUR pharmacist daily upon receipt of any physician orders for the review drugs. This pharmacist will then compare the prescribed drug use to the approved criteria and contact the prescriber when the usage appears questionable. A lower cost therapy will then be recommended when appropriate. In order to assess the impact of this intervention strategy on drug expenditures, the cost of the initially prescribed therapies must be compared to the recommended therapies. Data should also be obtained on overall drug usage and expenditures to detect shifts in therapy and drug costs. The success or failure of this concurrent DUR program will be highly dependent upon a team approach and cooperation. A program of this type could have a significant impact on hospital drug expenditures in those hospitals where it can be successfully implemented.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264746"} {"pmid": "10264745", "title": "Involving your staff in committees and meetings.", "content": "Involving your staff in committees and meetings. Committees serve as an ideal forum for members of an organizaton to exchange views and information. If managed effectively, they can be utilized to generate ideas and to provide sound recommendations to the pharmacy manager. This article describes a personnel management program in which all levels of pharmacy personnel are provided with several opportunities to actively participate and contribute to the establishment and attainment of departmental objectives. The involvement of the staff in serving on committees and attending meetings is outlined. Various intradepartmental and interdepartmental committees as well as continuing education conferences are described.

This editorial examines possible reasons why marketing has not worked as well as originally projected in the nonprofit and public sectors. 4 possible barriers to effective marketing are proposed. 1st, marketing may not be an appropriate discipline for full implementation in the social sector. This may be why nonprofit managers adopt only fragments of the marketing model. 2nd, ideologically, nonprofit people tend not to be market-oriented. 3rd, nonprofit organizations often lack the financial resources for fully implemented, data based marketing, and 4th, social and nonprofit organizations' structures are not conducive to marketing. Marketing functions are often housed in public relations or communications departments of nonprofit organizations, and thus are not in a position to have a significant impact on the institution's operations. Of value would be a study team, composed of academicians and practitioners, to assess the situation and offer some solutions. The following 4 questions should be addressed: What is the general state of nonprofit/social marketing? Are there any organizations in which marketing is being fully implemented, with documented results? Are there any elements that are common to successful nonprofit marketing efforts? Can these common elements be exported so that other organizations can apply them?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264769"} {"pmid": "10264770", "title": "Marketing study interviews: a case study.", "content": "Marketing study interviews: a case study.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264770"} {"pmid": "10264771", "title": "Improving health care strategy planning through assessment of perceptions of consumers, providers and administrators.", "content": "Improving health care strategy planning through assessment of perceptions of consumers, providers and administrators.

Pharmacy services encompass more than dispensing medications. However, traditional pharmacy reimbursement methods are based heavily on the dispensing of medications--i.e., on selling a commodity rather than providing a service. The capitation reimbursement method described provides the pharmacist with a means of reimbursement for professional services independent of the number of medications consumed by the patient. The pharmacist is thus free to encourage reductions in the consumption of medications without incurring an economic penalty. Such reductions are not only of potential benefit to the patient but can also reduce the workload of the nursing home staff. The feasibility of this capitation system is demonstrated by the successful pharmacy practice described.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264787"} {"pmid": "10264796", "title": "Stability in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.", "content": "Stability in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Recently the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program has been the subject of much discussion in Washington as a result of the rather large premium increases in 1982 and 1983, the delayed open season of 1981, and the benefit reductions. Enrollees responded in May 1982 to the changes; a record number switched plans. It appears that enrollees were simply responding to the new premiums and benefits. In this paper we describe the economic incentives faced by enrollees in the FEHBP. We find that, due to the strong incentives for enrollees to leave certain high-cost plans, continued instability should be expected. In fact, the disparity between expected benefits and premium is so great for some plans (e.g. the Blue Cross high-option) that their survival is questionable. This lack of stability raises important questions about the viability of some pro-competition proposals involving multiple-insurer systems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264796"} {"pmid": "10264788", "title": "Children's Hospital and Health Center, San Diego, California.", "content": "Children's Hospital and Health Center, San Diego, California.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264788"} {"pmid": "10264792", "title": "Computerized exchange cart processing.", "content": "Computerized exchange cart processing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264792"} {"pmid": "10264797", "title": "Competition between non-profit and for-profit health insurers.", "content": "Competition between non-profit and for-profit health insurers.

We specify and estimate a simultaneous equation model to assess interrelationships among these variables. We conclude that premium tax advantages enjoyed by the Blues have virtually no effect on the Blues' premiums or their market shares. A Blue Cross plans' market share has a positive effect on the discount it obtains from hospitals as does coverage of Blue Shield charges by a state-mandated rate-setting plan. An upper bound on the effect on the Blue Cross market share of covering Blue Cross under rate-setting but excluding the commercials from such coverage is seven percentage points.

A new conceptual model is proposed that would be used for future policy analyses to assess what changes in health status of populations in LDCs can be expected as direct functions of increased health service resources, and of improved environmental and econosociocultural conditions. While direct policy analysis is ill-advised at this time due to data inadequacy, the model is illustrated using data presently available for twenty-five relatively homogeneous sub-Sahara African countries. Within the limitations of available data, the findings suggest that reductions in mortality in the region might best be achieved by making appropriate health resources available to the populations.

Performance appraisal systems have tremendous strategic potential for governing employee behavior and thus corporate direction through their links to selection, training and career planning, and reward systems. Authors Charles J. Fombrun, assistant professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and Robert P. Laud, senior vice-president of Drake Beam Morin, Inc., surveyed appraisal systems of Fortune 1300 corporations to find out how well companies are realizing this potential. Among their conclusions: (1) In most organizations, the typical performance appraisal system is focused on short-term goals. Strengthening the linkage between the appraisal system and the long-term implications of strategic planning could improve organizational effectiveness in the future. (2) The performance appraisal system's most prevalent use is as a feedback mechanism rather than as a management tool. Thus, the authors conclude, the role of the performance appraisal system as a strategic organizational tool is largely unappreciated by U.S. organizations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264837"} {"pmid": "10264850", "title": "When older patients don't learn.

The clients' involvement must be understood and supported by other rehabilitation and hospital services since their support is essential for client success. Workshop performance evaluation is a long-term assessment. First, it provides for an assessment to determine the strengths of the client, secondly, it is a selective process which provides for emphasis and for exploration and/or development of those strengths. Assessment in a workshop addresses the sustained characteristics of good work performance, as well as the critical values requiring development to ensure acquisition of good worker traits, work personality and work intelligence.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264930"} {"pmid": "10264931", "title": "Pet therapy.", "content": "Pet therapy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264931"} {"pmid": "10264932", "title": "Independent living: a successful concept.", "content": "Independent living: a successful concept. The Independent Living Program at the Little Rock Veterans Administration Medical Center is providing an invaluable service to disabled veterans. Since activation 2 1/2 years ago, it was proven to be a strong, viable program which fills a previous gap in the discharge plans of the medically stable but physically disabled veteran. Without a successful transition into the community, many are susceptible to failure, which then results in hospital readmission or nursing home placement. These veterans, having suffered a severe disability, cannot be expected to return to the mainstream of life solely on the basis of having received medical treatment and therapy. The utilization of available resources and expertise of professionals, combined with the constructive input and determination of the veteran will significantly enhance the potential of a smooth transition into the community. The veteran's satisfaction and pleasure of living independently, despite his disability, is immeasurable. Independent living should be the ultimate goal for health care providers of the disabled.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264932"} {"pmid": "10264934", "title": "'Angel' network gives wings to nation's cancer patients.", "content": "'Angel' network gives wings to nation's cancer patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264934"} {"pmid": "10264933", "title": "Transplant successes stir debate on coverage.", "content": "Transplant successes stir debate on coverage.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264933"} {"pmid": "10264935", "title": "VA findings say water temperature irrelevant.", "content": "VA findings say water temperature irrelevant.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264935"} {"pmid": "10264936", "title": "Payroll cuts and higher productivity reduced costs at Michigan plant.", "content": "Payroll cuts and higher productivity reduced costs at Michigan plant.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264936"} {"pmid": "10264937", "title": "Latest HAS figures: laundry and linen costs slightly more than 1%.", "content": "Latest HAS figures: laundry and linen costs slightly more than 1%.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264937"} {"pmid": "10264938", "title": "It's better to give....", "content": "It's better to give....", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264938"} {"pmid": "10264940", "title": "Ten years experience with a regional health information system--the Stockholm County health care information system.", "content": "Ten years experience with a regional health information system--the Stockholm County health care information system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10264940"} {"pmid": "10264941", "title": "A computerised resident medical officer rostering system.", "content": "A computerised resident medical officer rostering system.

No new philosophies of resident rostering have been introduced and the program simply does more quickly what used to be done under the manual system. As an example, in preparing the weekly rosters and pay sheets, the program does in approximately 10 minutes what used to take about two hours.

Utilizing the Solomon four-group design, the study investigates whether exposure to information on death and dying (a) results in the acquisition of greater knowledge about death and dying, (b) is accompanied by a more positive attitude toward the elderly, and (c) is accompanied by a change in anxiety about death. Based on t tests and one-way analyses of covariance, the results point up the mixed nature of short-term training programs. It was found that there was a significant increase in the nurses' knowledge about death and dying, there was no change in their attitudes toward the elderly, and there was a significant increase among the nurses in the death anxiety experienced. This is not to suggest that training programs of this sort should not be conducted with nursing home staff. On the one hand such programs provide information useful for job performance.

Streamway Division of the Scott and Fetzer Co., that an in-plant representation committee, unilaterally established by the employer, was not a labor organization. Until 1959, when the Supreme Court decided NLRB v. Cabot Carbon. \"labor organization\" was narrowly construed, based on the traditional adversary model of labor relations. With Cabot Carbon, and some later Board decisions, the definition has broadened. Now, at a time when many employers are turning to employee committees, quality circles, etc., as ways of improving relations with employees, the Streamway decision takes on particular significance. In the following article, the author examines the statutory basis for determining whether an employee committee is a labor organization, within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act.

Greater proportions of all age groups of the elderly were in NHS acute hospital beds. Levels of incapacity in these people had increased between 1976 and 1979. In continuously resident people the proportion remaining unchanged fell and the extent of deterioration increased with greater age: among recent admissions significant increases in incapacity were only seen in patients in NHS geriatric hospitals.

Population-to-practitioner ratios have long been the primary index in the designation of health manpower shortage areas. This paper documents that application of the widely used population-to-dentist index results in understatement of the need for dental health manpower in rural areas. Through the analysis of utilization data collected from a statewide health screening program in Colorado, the practice of sole reliance on the population-to-dentist indices as an indicator of need was tested. Another measure, the area-(square miles) to-dentist ratio was formulated, examined, and found to be a more useful referent of the need for additional health manpower in rural areas. Utilization of dental services in sparsely settled rural counties of Colorado was unrelated to population-to-dentist ratios. A strong, statistically significant association of utilization with land area-to-dentist ratios was found. The findings of this analysis suggest a need for reevaluation of needs assessment methodologies used in the designation of health manpower shortage areas.

Factor analyses and difference-score reliabilities identified a general QOL construct and a general mental health construct with 27% common variance. However, psychiatric symptoms did not significantly (p less than .05) alter the bivariate and multivariate relationships among the QOL ratings, except in the health domain in which the correlations of health-related QOL indicators with global QOL were significantly (p less than .05) attenuated after removing the effects of psychopathology.

Forty-five pharmaceutical companies, all marketing tetracycline products, were selected for the study. A conversation protocol was utilized. It was designed to assure consistency and evaluate information received for accuracy, response time, clinical judgement offered, and referrals. Forty pharmaceutical manufacturers responded: 18 brand manufacturers and 22 generic companies. Eleven companies provided information on the interaction identified. Five manufacturers stated that there were no contraindications to concurrent administration of the drugs, one company identified a similar interaction, and five manufacturers successfully provided information identifying the interaction with supportive documentation. Two of the five companies offered clinical judgement as to the clinical significance of the interaction. Both reached different conclusions. The mean time of all phone calls was 4.29 minutes (range 0.39 to 15.41 minutes). The investigator was referred to outside sources by twelve companies.

Well-designed health promotion programs meet a variety of long- and short-term hospital commitments to: 1. Hospital employees. For hospital employees, making health promotion part of the strategic plan puts the hospital in a leadership posture, serving as a role model within the community. 2. Businesses. Health promotion helps decrease health care costs and impacts favorably on the bottom line by increasing productivity through a reduction in absenteeism. 3. Medical staff. The time a physician spends getting a patient to lose weight or stop smoking is generally not cost effective. However, offering health promotion programs gives the physician a \"prescription\" that can be issued to patients allowing more productive use of physician time. 4. Community residents. Offering health promotion activities to community residents can only improve the health of the entire community. As one hospital administrator stated in a conversation with the author, \"When they walk in the front door for a health promotion program and have a positive experience with a quality program, we know that they, their friends, neighbors and business associates will all think of us at other times.\" 5. The Board of Trustees. Dr. William L. Weis, C.P.A., an associate professor at Seattle University estimates that an organization's \"annual cost per smoker\" represents a loss of approximately $4,611. Offering health promotion programs provides an excellent way to aid the hospital's cost containment and productivity efforts. Should health promotion activities be part of your strategic plan?

Clarence Herbert, 55, stopped breathing following routine surgery in August 1981. Though a respirator restored his breathing, the lack of oxygen had caused severe brain damage, and Mr. Herbert was in a coma. Whether he could recover beyond a vegetative state was not known. Two days after her husband was placed on the respirator, Mrs. Herbert authorized the withdrawal of all life-support means. Mr. Herbert died six days later. Charges of murder by deprivation of treatment against the two attending physicians were dismissed in a lower court, a decision that was upheld in the state appeals court. Because court accounts are unclear, it is impossible to judge whether withdrawal of treatment was moral in this case. This case, however, raises a question about life-sustaining treatment in general. What is the moral criterion for withdrawal: quality of life or quality of treatment? The quality-of-life principle removes the obligation to take life-sustaining measures when a person's life does not or will not meet certain standards. Quality of treatment permits the withdrawal of even minimally burdensome treatment if it is considered useless. Though the California case appears to rest on these principles, withdrawing treatment from a person in a permanent coma, such as Mr. Herbert, implies that the quality of life is so low that life is not worth preserving, if the patient has no potential for conscious life, others have no duty to preserve it. This judgment may be acceptable in a terminal case when treatment truly is useless; however, withdrawing treatment that is useful in prolonging life cannot be justified.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265211"} {"pmid": "10265200", "title": "Factoring ethnic diversity into the health care formula.", "content": "Factoring ethnic diversity into the health care formula.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265200"} {"pmid": "10265212", "title": "Ethics Commission examines moral distinctions in using life supports.", "content": "Ethics Commission examines moral distinctions in using life supports. Deciding to Forego Life-Sustaining Treatment, a report of the President's Commission for the study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research, examines four common medical-ethical distinctions. The report highlights the 1980 Declaration on Euthanasia and closely follows Catholic moral teaching on the following. Death by action versus omitting to act. The commission rejects the idea that a physician who fails to act should not be held responsible for a patient's death. Failing to resuscitate, for example, or to take other steps to prolong life, are just as much causes of death as a lethal injection. The health profession's traditional duty to act on the patient's behalf precludes any distinction between acts and omissions. Withdrawing versus withholding treatment. Acknowledging that initiating treatment may create an obligation to continue treatment, the commission suggests that distinguishing between withholding and withdrawing could encourage undertreatment and overtreatment. Fear of being unable to withdraw unsuccessful treatment could lead to physicians' failing to treat patients who might benefit from the therapy. Ordinary versus extraordinary means. The commission upholds this distinction. It suggests, however, that the phrase \"proportionate versus disproportionate\" better describes the moral issue involved in selecting treatments that, in relation to their expected benefits, impose no excessive burden on the patient or family. Regarding intended versus unintended consequences, the commission departs from Catholic tradition. It fails to acknowledge the significance of physicians' intentions. What matters instead, according to the commission, is whether physicians act within their authority as defined by society. Thus, the commission suggests, the use of pain medications that may cause death can be socially and legally acceptable.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265212"} {"pmid": "10265202", "title": "Carner's codes, Chapter 12.

To meet spiraling costs, tax-exempt hospitals increasingly are operating businesses unrelated to direct patient care.

Three criteria must be met for an activity to be taxable as UBI: It must constitute a trade or business; It must be regularly carried on; and It must be unrelated to the organization's exempt purpose. The Internal Revenue Code and IRS rulings clearly exclude the following areas from UBI taxation: Activities performed by unpaid volunteers (e.g., hospital auxiliaries' fund-raising dinners and bazaars and the operation of thrift stores); Operations conducted for the convenience of the organization's members, students, patients, or employees (e.g., gift shops, cafeterias, coffee shops, parking lots, lounges, vending machines, pharmaceutical sales to inpatients and emergency room outpatients, and research activities for students' benefit; The sale of merchandise that has been received by gift (e.g., flea markets, baked goods sales, book sales, and rummage sales); Investment income such as dividends, interest, annuities, royalties, certain rents, and capital gains from the sale of investment assets; Gifts or contributions made directly to the facility; and Bingo games that are conducted commercially. Areas which may be subject to UBI taxation, or in which there have been controversial or contradictory court rulings, include: Pharmaceutical sales to the public or private physicians' patients; and Laboratory services provided to private physicians for treating their patients. IRS private letter rulings, though not precedential, have excluded from UBI taxation the x-ray income from a hospital's branch facility and rental income from property leased for use as a clinic or medical office building that is substantially related to the hospital's exempt functions.

In recent professional literature, however, some of these concerns are being addressed. A wider dissemination of information is essential for health professionals as well as for alcoholics and their families. Both groups must understand the changes associated with aging so that existing programs for alcoholism treatment can be adapted to serve the elderly. Results of an informed, enlightened attitude toward older alcoholics would be: Awareness that alcoholism--at any age--is a treatable disease; Increased attention to the special communication and mobility needs of the elderly; Availability of printed and audiovisual materials about aging and alcoholism in locations where older adults gather; and The training of family members and health care workers in alcoholism identification and intervention.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265214"} {"pmid": "10265215", "title": "Program helps nurses develop spiritual care skills.", "content": "Program helps nurses develop spiritual care skills.

Preferred provider organizations (PPOs) have caused concern because they raise the question whether providers can establish mechanisms to control the price of medical care without violating antitrust laws. The U.S. Supreme Court recently decided in Arizona v. Maricopa County Medical Society that the practices of a physicians' organization which set fee schedules by majority vote constituted price fixing because \"independent competing entrepreneurs\" made the agreements. The decision implies that PPOs must carefully structure collective efforts to set prices in order to avoid unlawful agreement among competitors. To avoid antitrust exposure, hospitals may independently determine prices and contract individually with providers, or they may act as brokers for individual physicians, establishing fees and claims-processing procedures and then contracting with physicians who agree to these requirements. Setting fees independently may be difficult, however, since hospitals need to know what payment physicians will accept. Thus some physician involvement is probably inevitable. No antitrust liability results, however, if individual physicians are sampled in an information-gathering process but do not collectively set fees. In addition, a PPO that is structured as a partnership or other joint arrangement involving true risk sharing should withstand antitrust challenge. In recent business review letters, the Department of Justice approved two different PPO structures: A Hospital Corporation of America subsidiary would contract (nonexclusively) with providers, hospitals, and third party payers to treat the third party payers' beneficiaries at discounted rates. The charges would be negotiated individually with each physician and hospital. A management consultant firm would act as an intermediary between providers and third party payers, negotiating patient discounts but not participating in fee setting. A PPO need not be structured in every respect like these programs.

The study of shared hospital services reported in this article was conducted to determine the magnitude of shared administrative and clinical programs, what institutions participate, and most frequently shared services. To ensure that hospitals with different characteristics and in various areas were represented, the investigators mailed questionnaires to 1,731 of the nation's 5,987 short-term, acute care general hospitals in nine census regions. Responses indicated the following trends: Not-for-profit hospitals outrank other types of hospitals in using shared services. About 90 percent of hospitals with 200 to 499 beds shared services. For almost all categories of services, a percentage increase occurred in the number of hospitals participating in shared programs. The three most shared services were purchasing, data processing, and insurance programs. Hospitals shared more administrative than clinical services. According to administrators' responses, cost containment was the most common reason for sharing services. As the pressures to control health care costs increase, the investigators predict that hospitals will share more clinical services. Shared services decrease unit cost, however, only when providers have an excess capacity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265225"} {"pmid": "10265224", "title": "Hospital returns to social security but retains alternative benefits plan.", "content": "Hospital returns to social security but retains alternative benefits plan. When passage of the Social Security Amendments of 1983 required Holy Redeemer Hospital to return to the Social Security system on Jan. 1, 1984, the hospital examined alternatives to nonprofit hospitals' mandatory participation in the program. With a consortium of hospitals, it launched an unsuccessful lobbying effort to convince Congress to accept other options: deferring the return for several years, exempting hospitals that had left the system, or \"grandfathering\" nonprofit hospitals' employees. By Oct. 31, 1983, the hospital decided to forgo efforts to amend the legislation and made preparations for returning to the system. Employees were notified that they could continue to participate in the alternate plan (a tax-deferred annuity) or leave their account inactive until withdrawal at retirement. The plan's provisions that allowed withdrawals only under extraordinary circumstances were amended to permit withdrawals at any time. In addition, the administration introduced flexible benefits--a \"cafeteria plan\"--to allow participants to choose among certain taxable and nontaxable benefits that best fit each individual's life-style.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265224"} {"pmid": "10265226", "title": "Should Catholic hospitals encourage low tubal ovum transfers?", "content": "Should Catholic hospitals encourage low tubal ovum transfers?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265226"} {"pmid": "10265228", "title": "Hospital must give insurance carrier timely notice of lawsuit.", "content": "Hospital must give insurance carrier timely notice of lawsuit.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265228"} {"pmid": "10265227", "title": "Physicians must follow hospital policy limiting number of therapy providers.", "content": "Physicians must follow hospital policy limiting number of therapy providers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265227"} {"pmid": "10265229", "title": "Health care practice must reflect Catholic values.", "content": "Health care practice must reflect Catholic values.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265229"} {"pmid": "10265232", "title": "The role of organizational procedures in the resolution of social conflict.", "content": "The role of organizational procedures in the resolution of social conflict.

The purpose of this article is to examine the ramifications of legislative recognition of the concept of fair use in the Copyright Act of 1976. The fair use concept, while of small consequence in its normative origins, has turned out to be the foundation of the most perplexing and divisive issues in the new legislative guidelines governing copyright. Legislative recognition of the concept of fair use, coupled with enormous growth of a new technology--extending from xerography to on-line database systems--creates de facto exemptions to both the intent and content of new copyright guidelines. The issue is not one of limiting use or suppressing information, but of mechanisms for safeguarding the rights of copyright holders, be they authors or publishers, and insuring the free flow of information by providing a proper return on both intellectual creativity and capital expenditures. The authors argue that the elimination, or at least curtailment of fair use doctrine, coupled with an increase in technological approaches to reporting of secondary use of copyrighted material, will benefit all sections of the knowledge industry. Authors will receive proper royalties on use; publishers will be able to sell more books and journals at lower prices; and librarians will be liberated from extensive chores such as monitoring usage or determining fee schedules and transferences.

The term \"burnout\" represents a significant perspective on how people respond to their work, but the attention paid to this phenomenon has largely been clinical and often anecdotal. In this article, the authors seek to expand the analysis of burnout in ways that permit comparative analysis, especially in large populations. This study specifically addresses three questions. First, does a paper-and-pencil instrument isolate domains of burnout that are relatively consistent between people-intensive work and the broader range of activities found in a commercial enterprise? Second, can we develop phases of progressive burnout? Third, can we test the efficacy of the burnout phases by searching for regularities in a panel of 22 variables commonly thought to tap the important facets of the work site? The author's analysis shows that we can answer these three central questions affirmatively, though occasionally with complex and potentially significant qualifications. The results of the analysis provide further evidence of the usefulness of a convenient instrument for measuring burnout and also suggest that behavioral scientists will find valuable a phase model that distinguishes regular and robust covariation by using a panel of variables thought to tap the important aspects of organizational life.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265310"} {"pmid": "10265311", "title": "Food intake of institutionalized women over 80 years of age.", "content": "Food intake of institutionalized women over 80 years of age. Food intake of 30 women over 80 years of age and residing in a long-term care facility was determined for a five-day period using the weighed intake method. Purposes of the study were to examine the contribution to nutrient intake of foods from eight major food groups; to characterize intake by time of day; and to examine the effect of age on nutrient intake. The results indicated that intakes of calcium, thiamin, vitamin A, zinc, and protein were below recommended levels. Analysis of intake by food group revealed that the grain group was the primary source of energy and many nutrients. Percentage consumption of foods in this group was significantly higher than that of vegetables or meat and alternates. Analysis of intake by time of day indicated that more energy was consumed at breakfast than at dinner. Advanced age was negatively correlated with overall dietary adequacy, although the distribution of energy intake from the eight food groups did not change with age.

Four human service organizations and 3529 clients seen over a six-month period were sampled. At the system level, data revealed a 100% duplication rate by the four organizations for nine service categories.

Tonal item errors seemed due to subjects' inabilities to discriminate small interval changes in melodies, while rhythm item errors seemed due to subjects' inabilities to discriminate changes in duration or changes in complex rhythm patterns. Any generalizations or implications are primarily confined to female, Caucasian, elderly care home residents because of the restricted population sample used in the study.

This procedure has been conceptualized using a Markov chain in a recent journal article. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the Markov model may be used to assess the impact of various changes in the original data without having to recalculate the entire step-down process via a Markov model or any other procedure. The changes include an alternate step-down model, a different cost allocation basis for one or more service centres, and the expansion or contraction of one or more service centres.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265357"} {"pmid": "10265358", "title": "Information management and information technologies: keys to professional and business success.", "content": "Information management and information technologies: keys to professional and business success.

The utilization of behavior assessment methods borrowed from the applied management and behavioral sciences can enhance recruitment objectivity, member satisfaction, and retention.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265379"} {"pmid": "10265391", "title": "The hospital market: two books dominate.", "content": "The hospital market: two books dominate.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265391"} {"pmid": "10265392", "title": "Man vs. microbes--grappling with resistance.", "content": "Man vs. microbes--grappling with resistance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265392"} {"pmid": "10265380", "title": "Increasing the profitability of the clinical laboratory.", "content": "Increasing the profitability of the clinical laboratory.

This study examined the relationship between job stress and employees' performance and withdrawal behavior among nurses (N = 440) in two hospitals in a metropolitan Canadian city on the east coast. Job stressors assessed included role ambiguity, role overload, role conflict, and resource inadequacy. Employees' performance was operationalized in terms of job performance, motivation, and patient care skill. Withdrawal behaviors assessed were absenteeism, tardiness, and anticipated turnover. Multiple regressions, curvilinear correlation coefficients, and canonical correlations were computed to test the nature of the relationship between stressors and the criterion variables of the study. In general, data were more supportive of the negative linear relationship between stress and performance than for positive linear or curvilinear relationship. However, the stressor role ambiguity did exhibit a monotonic nonlinear relationship with a number of criterion variables. Employees' professional and organizational commitment were proposed to moderate the stress-performance relationship. However, the data only partially supported the role of the moderators.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265480"} {"pmid": "10265481", "title": "Bankruptcies--a potential source of dollars.", "content": "Bankruptcies--a potential source of dollars.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265481"} {"pmid": "10265482", "title": "Quality circles in the clinical laboratory.", "content": "Quality circles in the clinical laboratory.

A systematic method of photography is illustrated which eliminates most of the exposure determination functions that are time-consuming and subject to error.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265486"} {"pmid": "10265489", "title": "Choosing film for your camera.", "content": "Choosing film for your camera.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265489"} {"pmid": "10265492", "title": "Are enterostomal therapists patient educators?", "content": "Are enterostomal therapists patient educators?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265492"} {"pmid": "10265493", "title": "Patient education coordinator's consultation corner.", "content": "Patient education coordinator's consultation corner.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265493"} {"pmid": "10265496", "title": "A hidden benefit of quality circles.", "content": "A hidden benefit of quality circles.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265496"} {"pmid": "10265495", "title": "Unlock the mysteries of the annual report.", "content": "Unlock the mysteries of the annual report.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265495"} {"pmid": "10265490", "title": "Proposed competencies for patient education coordinators.", "content": "Proposed competencies for patient education coordinators.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265490"} {"pmid": "10265494", "title": "New challenges in patient education.", "content": "New challenges in patient education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265494"} {"pmid": "10265487", "title": "Five common problems in color photomicrography.", "content": "Five common problems in color photomicrography.

Consumers increasingly want to be informed about the processes involved in their own health care. Health professionals may be called upon to recommend appropriate consumer-oriented sources of information. To assist the health professional in making a rational recommendation, 15 currently available consumer-oriented books on prescription medications were compared with respect to readability, number of drugs covered, completeness of drug monograph information, price, and other factors. Mean readability scores, reported as a reading grade level, ranged from 9.2 to 14.3. The number of drugs covered by these books ranged from 135 to 1,200. Monograph completeness scores were assigned by determining the percentage of information from a standard reference's drug monograph covered in each book. The lowest percentage completeness score was 21.4%, while the highest was 76.7%. Prices for the books ranged from $2.50 to $19.95. Regardless of the relative priorities placed on these factors, a consumer or health professional may use the objective and descriptive assessments of this study to make an informed decision when choosing among consumer-oriented sources of medication information.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265508"} {"pmid": "10265510", "title": "Computerized management information system.

This paper reports a study of patients attending neurological outpatient clinics. The results suggest that the conceptual framework deriving from patient satisfaction research provides only partial and sometimes misleading insights into the perspectives of the patients studied.

Magnetic shielding may be necessary in some instances to prevent low-level magnetic field exposure of persons with artificial cardiac pacemakers. Superconducting magnets are heavy and large and may give off large amounts of helium which can temporarily replace the air in the magnet room.

To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a pharmacy-based clinical pharmacokinetic service for gentamicin, serum gentamicin levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in 44 patients hospitalized during a three-month period in an acute-care general hospital. Serum levels measured pre- and post-infusion were used to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters and optimum dosage regimens for individual patients. Based on serum level measurements of gentamicin, 30% of patients required no dosage adjustment, 23% an increase in dose and 47% a decrease in dose. Of the 30 changes recommended, 83% were implemented by physicians. Monitoring serum levels and adjusting dosage reduced the number of patients with sub-therapeutic and toxic serum levels. Adjusting dosage with the aid of serum levels appeared to be most useful for the elderly patient or the patient with impaired kidney function. Initial choice of dosage regimens for patients would be improved by appropriate use of the Hull and Sarubbi dosing nomogram (with certain modifications) or method of estimating pharmacokinetic parameters. The Hull and Sarubbi method was considered preferable to the dosing recommendation of 1.1 mg/kg at an interval of eight times the serum creatinine value. Excellent physician acceptance of a gentamicin serum level monitoring service was demonstrated in terms of the physician's usage of the service and implementation of the pharmacist's recommendations. A multidisciplinary approach involving medicine, pharmacy, nursing and laboratory staff was essential for successful operation of the pharmacokinetic service. However, the responsibility for the development and overall coordination of the pharmacokinetic service should remain with the pharmacist.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265730"} {"pmid": "10265732", "title": "Management's perspective on medical office computerization.

Tackling health inequalities with any hope of success requires an understanding and appreciation of a number of issues concerning the nature and operation of services. Focussing on the British experience, the paper considers notions of need and demand insofar as these have a bearing on health inequalities. Need and demand are not finite, absolute states but are relative notions which are affected by users' attitudes and knowledge and by providers' preferences and interests. Drawing upon recent work, the paper argues that the existence of the National Health Service (NHS) has not fundamentally altered the nature of health inequalities in Britain. Those living in the North of the country generally enjoy poorer health than those living in the South. Inequalities between socio-economic groups are also much in evidence. The paper considers possible policy implications and comes out in favour of process change rather than major structural change of the kind witnessed in recent years in Britain where the NHS has undergone two major upheavals within a decade. This disruption has had the effect of diverting attention away from important policy issues at all levels of service planning and provision.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265743"} {"pmid": "10265745", "title": "Cancer registries: their interest and practical problems.", "content": "Cancer registries: their interest and practical problems.

The work of the French regional cancer registries is described to illustrate these points. The problems of running a cancer registry are also set out and suggestions are made for future organization. The statistics gathered by such registries indicate possible methods for the early detection and treatment of some cancers and provide evidence of the long-term effects of all kinds of therapy.

The need for information for management purposes has been highlighted by the shift away from running institutions to providing health care for defined populations, and the diminution in financial growth available to health services. To provide comprehensive care in the current financial climate there is a requirement for relevant and timely information about the patients being treated, the population from which they come and the cost and effectiveness of the treatment being provided. Major changes have occurred in both the software and hardware available for information technology (IT) applications. Modern technology cannot only process statistical data but also acquire, process, store and disseminate vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information.

The over-riding emphasis of the user-centered approach to evaluation is the utility of the resultant data. Three features characterize user-centered evaluation: an ordered set of steps with usefulness as the primary concern at each step; delineation of evaluator and decision-maker roles; and attention to the general communication aspects of evaluation. This article describes these three characteristics, concluding with two fundamental points: (1) A user-centered approach to evaluation will help evaluation do what it is supposed to do: provide information that gets used to increase the effectiveness of everyday decisions. (2) A user-centered evaluation accomplishes this, first, by having a pervasive attitude of utility and, second, by carefully attending to the three characteristic features of this approach to evaluation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265748"} {"pmid": "10265738", "title": "Material management information systems: implications for productivity.", "content": "Material management information systems: implications for productivity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265738"} {"pmid": "10265750", "title": "Measuring patient perceptions of the patient-doctor interaction.

Patient satisfaction has been related to patient compliance, doctor-patient information exchange, and continuity of care. However, the construct of patient satisfaction is not well defined; its measurement has typically consisted of the anecdotal generation of questions that may not tap issues of concern to patients. Generally, neither reliability nor validity of the measurement instruments are considered. The present study investigated the construct of patient satisfaction and developed the Smith-Falvo Patient-Doctor Interaction Scale (PDIS), a patient satisfaction scale based on empirically derived dimensions of patient satisfaction. The project consisted of three studies. The first study involved the generation of physician behavior descriptions by 22 family practice center patients. The resultant 1540 descriptions were grouped into 80 reliable categories. In Study 2, a sample of 30 patients rated the behavior descriptions on a 9-point scale from most preferred to least preferred. Multidimensional scaling techniques were applied to the preference ratings, resulting in the identification of two dimensions: general health care delivery and inappropriate interpersonal interactions. The PDIS was then constructed from items salient to these two dimensions. Outcome of the investigation of the reliability and validity of the PDIS in a third study was quite positive.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265750"} {"pmid": "10265752", "title": "Component of health promotion.", "content": "Component of health promotion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265752"} {"pmid": "10265751", "title": "Evaluation of a medical interviewing course.

As statistics on health, education, work, and standard of living illustrate, the socioeconomic opportunities available to blacks are markedly lower than those available to white Americans. Despite these odds, efforts to improve blacks' chances of contributing to society--through affirmative action programs--have achieved striking results in industry. Hospitals, as major workplaces, likewise should focus greater attention on developing and extending minority employment and advancement programs.

As hospitals attempt to survive in today's new competitive environment, they will find that the traditional organizational structure does not work. This structure can be characterized as a three-legged stool. Governance, management, and medical staff existed in relative harmony, with each able to attend to its own distinct, separate responsibilities. The medical staff regulated itself, the governing board had no serious difficulties in coping with the institution's finances, and the CEO was concerned solely with the physical plant and hospital personnel. In a riskless economic environment, this three-legged stool could remain stable. In the coming years,however, a hospital will need a clear-cut, identifiable leader if it is to survive. To centralize authority primarily in the CEO's hands will be a difficult step for nonprofit hospitals, particularly those sponsored by religious institutions, because of their tradition of operating much as a charitable social agency rather than a business. But this step must be taken, even to the extent of naming the CEO as chairman of the board, for a leader is required who has the authority to make quick decisions in the competitive marketplace. Timeliness is of strategic importance in such an environment, and governing boards increasingly will find it impossible to make timely decisions on a collective basis. Moreover, CEOs will have to coordinate the activities of management, medical staff, and the governing board. They will need to play a strong role in ensuring that target levels in DRG costs are met, and they will need the authority to mediate in issues in which the hospital's economic interests are pitted against physicians'.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265817"} {"pmid": "10265815", "title": "Diocesan-wide NFP program reaches broad population groups.", "content": "Diocesan-wide NFP program reaches broad population groups. 3 natural family planning (NFP) programs in the Diocese of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania -- programs at St. Joseph Hospital in Lancaster, Holy Spirit Hospital, and Catholic Social Services -- have worked together as the principal NFP provider in central Pennsylvania. Since May 1978 the program has provided initial NFP instruction to more than 1300 clients (more than 800 women). Many of those served are farmers and rural people along with small numbers of industrial and government workers. This region comprises the urban areas of Harrisburg, York, and Lancaster and the remaining rural and small town population. These programs have focused on recruiting and training teachers, securing an adequate funding base, developing quality assurance and evaluation procedures to establish credibility in the community, providing fertility awareness instruction in the high schools and NFP services in the community, and marketing the service. Facts and statistics cited are from the unified programs. Instruction in the ovulation (OM) and symptothermal methods (STM) in the format specified by the Human Life and Natural Family Planning Foundation is provided. The program has developed an extensive quality control outline containing basic information on NFP service, client outcome, and record audits -- much of which focuses on the outline for distribution to government-funded family planning clinics. Of those women coming for initial instruction, about 30% never begin charting; 20% chart for fertility awareness only or to plan a pregnancy; and 50% chart to avoid pregnancy. The St. Joseph Hospital's program has measured the success of menstruating 1st interval acceptors in avoiding pregnancy. By life table analysis, at the end of 1 year 18% had unplanned pregnancies and another 30% had dropped out for other reasons, including changing their intention from avoiding pregnancy to planning pregnancy. The majority of unplanned pregnancies are to couples who are in the first months of use and are just learning the methods. These couples may not understand the methods and can make mistakes in method applications. Of those accepting the method over a period of 5 years, 1/3 have stopped charting. Of those who continue, approximately 1/3 are autonomous and need no active follow-up. The other 2/3 are actively being followed. The overall amount spent in the diocese on NFP has more than doubled from 1978-83, from approximately $30,000 to more than $60,000. Public acceptance of NFP is a major problem.

Participation in a master indenture financing may be structured in two ways. In a restricted group, only the parent organization issues notes, and only the parent is directly liable for the debt. To ensure that each member's revenues flow to the parent, the latter must have sole member status and be permitted to approve subsidiaries' debts, budgets, amendments to articles and bylaws of incorporation, and selection of trustees. Each entity's articles and bylaws must permit it to support the system members' common charitable purpose. In contrast, members of an obligated group have direct joint and several liability for master indenture notes. If one subsidiary misses a payment, the parent can call for payment from other obligated group members. Limitations on a member's obligation to support system debt in case of insolvency or bankruptcy may be included in the master indenture provisions. Whichever structure is selected, the amount of debt that can be incurred is based on the institutions' combined financial statements.

The deletion of rarely used or outdated products is often overlooked. As a means to \"clean up\" the formulary, Hamot Medical Center (HMC) underwent a total formulary review. Drugs were separated into classes as defined by the American Hospital Formulary Service (AHFS). Approximately three drug classes were evaluated each month by the P & C Committee. Evaluation criteria was based on the following factors: current formulary status, usage statistics, negative comments appearing in six current publications, hospital acquisition cost, and number of formularies containing each product. A final compilation of all deletions and additions were distributed to all medical staff department and division chiefs. Following receipt of all their comments, a final draft of the formulary was made and prepared for publication.

Single dose identification provides pharmacy personnel with the capability to closely monitor drug administration activities. For example, omitted doses can be readily linked to a specific date and time of occurrence. Single doses are dispensed into separate dosing sections, even though several tablets or capsules may be required for one dose. The package design additionally permits first-dose administration times to be programmed by the pharmacist in order to minimize delays in starting newly prescribed medications, such as antibiotics.

The freeze-microwave thaw technique has important advantages compared with conventional piggyback delivery systems. A requirement for the implementation of this technique, however, is the documentation of antibiotic stability following freezing and microwave thawing. The purpose of this study was to assess the stability of a commonly used cephalosporin, cephapirin sodium, following freezing and conventional or microwave thawing. This data was not previously available. Cephapirin sodium was admixed with either 5% dextrose injection or 0.9% sodium chloride injection in polyvinylchloride minibags at concentrations of 10 and 40 mg/ml and then frozen for 14 days. Admixtures were then thawed conventionally or by microwave heating. Cephapirin concentrations were determined spectrophotometrically after reconstitution, immediately after thawing, and 6, 12, and 24 hours after thawing. No significant differences in admixture potency after reconstitution, immediately after thawing, or at 6, 12, and 24 hours after thawing were observed when thaw techniques were compared. All admixtures retained at least 90% of labeled content regardless of thaw technique, type of diluent, or initial concentration. In addition, all admixtures retained at least 90% potency 24 hours after thawing when compared with the actual concentration determined immediately after reconstitution. The rate of cephapirin degradation was not influenced by thaw technique, type of diluent, or initial admixture concentration. The results of this study suggest that cephapirin sodium may be added to the list of drugs capable of withstanding freeze-microwave thaw treatment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265849"} {"pmid": "10265838", "title": "The party line returns.", "content": "The party line returns.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265838"} {"pmid": "10265841", "title": "The revolution and the U.S. Health care in Grenada.", "content": "The revolution and the U.S. Health care in Grenada.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265841"} {"pmid": "10265840", "title": "Health and human rights in El Salvador.", "content": "Health and human rights in El Salvador.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265840"} {"pmid": "10265839", "title": "Birth of a nation.

The objective of the present paper is to describe this alternative approach in more detail. The model introduced is concerned with the separate modelling of a number of broad components of hospital inpatient expenditure, rather than with the total expenditure in isolation. A system of simultaneous regression models is proposed, each related to a particular area of expenditure, the structure of each being determined by means of empirical analyses based upon data from some 1505 English hospitals. It is shown that when the total costs generated by aggregating the cost components are considered, the models provide a better representation of the cost structure of English hospitals than the models based upon total costs published in the recent literature.

This paper describes 15 years' experience with narrow band telephony applied to continuing education of physicians and nursing staff in the state of Wisconsin. The telephonic approach is shown to be viable, effective and economical; especially so when compared to wideband video alternatives or peripatetic teachers. The department of Continuing Medical Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison, initiated the use of telephony for instructional purpose in non-credit continuing education in November, 1965. Facilities were installed for 18 hospitals, up to 350 miles from Madison, for use by 286 physicians two hours weekly. The program included lecture outlines, visuals and a full array of telephone equipment with lectures strictly timed yet allowing for questions and answers. The technical system was validated by a series of pretests and immediate and late-posttests of 52 physicians taking a telephone course. Technology was found not to interfere with the education process. The University has since enlarged the network by more than a factor of 10. By 1979-80 there were 1,320 program sessions with participation exceeding 34,000--or 270,596 student contact hours, at approximately $5.33 per student contact hours. Drawbacks include lack of eye contact, difficulty in understanding foreign accents, and necessity for videocassettes when demonstrations require movement. Strong points of telephony include its flexibility; variation in numbers attending and in visual aids; location of instructors and use in single subject/single day teaching. Telephony was found to be a uniquely useful means of providing continuing education to hospital and medical staffs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10265924"} {"pmid": "10265915", "title": "Risk management.

In the case of nuclear war, which has been called \"the final epidemic,\" increased public knowledge is a primary method of working for its prevention. Policymakers in the United States and internationally are turning to physicians and scientists with important questions about the effects of nuclear war, questions about human behavior under stress, questions about long term ecological effects and survivability, and questions about technical aspects of the weapons themselves. The profession itself is asking questions about its proper role in these issues and the ethical basis for political activity on behalf of public health.

Thus there is good reason, says author Alan Balfour (associate professor of management at the University of South Florida), to institute grievance systems for non-union employees.

Clinics are held in inner city community health centers and all services are confidential. An introductory health questionnaire is used to assess the areas of counseling to be emphasized in the initial interview. 65% of teenagers initially attending the clinic are sexually active, but only 60-65% have ever used birth control. The reasons for sexual behavior are explored during the initial interview and contraception and sexually transmitted diseases are reviewed. Teenagers who are not sexually active are encouraged to postpone sexual activity. Community outreach and education is another component of the program. Rap sessions are held during each clinic session and peer counselors work as liaisons between the schools, community, and Teen Services Program. Peer counseling is believed to facilitate feelings of acceptance and support. In 1 of the high risk areas served by the program, the adolescent birth rate fell 17% in 1979-82. 94% of clients who accepted contraception returned and maintained contraception for 1 year.

One hundred and ninety-three questionnaires were mailed. Forty-nine percent of the questionnaires were returned. Sixty-one respondents (64%) reported they had left their first position; 73% of these left within one year. The major reason for leaving first positions was 'temporary position' (43%), and 'family reasons' was cited by 10%. Eighty-one percent of respondents were employed at the time of the survey. The major reasons for unemployment were: 'education' (33%); 'family reasons' (22%), and 'no position' (16%). Family reasons for not working were less common in this survey than in a national survey conducted in 1974. Results presented here indicate that recent dietetic graduates who are married and/or have a family are more likely to work today than in 1974, as is the trend for women in other areas of employment.

We sought to remedy this educational gap by using a generic crisis-intervention training program as a method of sensitizing radiation therapists to the emotional and psychological concerns and problems of patients undergoing radiation therapy. After the training, radiation therapists were cognizant of the presence and effects of the special dependency needs of severely ill patients. Training helped them respond more empathically, to establish better rapport with their patients, and to provide more holistic and effective medical management as an integral part of radiation therapy.

The vehicle for the GDIS was discussions of various aspects of human sexuality. Thirty-four adolescents (average age 14.8), their parents, and staff were asked to respond to a questionnaire relating to human sexuality prior to the onset of GDIS . Adolescents speculated that their parents would perform least well. The average test scores for the adolescents, their parents, and staff respectively were: 65 percent, 79 percent and 81 percent. There was no significant difference between the scores of staff and parents. The difference between adolescents' scores and those of the parents and staff was significant (p less than 0.05).

In the United States the medical relationship is asymmetrical. Doctors not only control medical knowledge, they also have an institutionally based authority which allows them to act as gatekeepers, providing options to some while denying them to others. This study, conducted in a model family practice clinic of a teaching hospital, examines how decisions to do, or not to do, Pap smears are negotiated as residents and a potentially high-risk group of patients communicate. Decision-making occurs in layered phases--opening, medical history, physical examination, and closing. Each phase expresses the doctor's control and the patient's trust. Doctors initiate phases, develop topics and make key choices. They decide when patients undress--a choice which shapes the later Pap smear decision. Decisions to undress patients and to perform Pap smears or decisions not to undress patients and not to perform Pap smears produce no conflict. When there is a conflict, avoidance strategies--bowing to higher-level specialists, selling and unselling, and letting silence speak--are used negotiating devices. The doctor's choice and the patient's agreement produce a specific and a more general outcome--managing the presenting complaint and providing medically adequate health care, respectively. Although interactionally accomplished, these outcomes are institutionally constrained, and, thus are both a social and a micro-political performance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266301"} {"pmid": "10266303", "title": "Common knowledge in medical malpractice litigation: a diagnosis and prescription.", "content": "Common knowledge in medical malpractice litigation: a diagnosis and prescription.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266303"} {"pmid": "10266287", "title": "Network links wellness program to private practice physicians.", "content": "Network links wellness program to private practice physicians.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266287"} {"pmid": "10266304", "title": "Fire suppression systems...what they can, cannot do.", "content": "Fire suppression systems...what they can, cannot do.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266304"} {"pmid": "10266305", "title": "Fire alarm systems: state-of-the-art.", "content": "Fire alarm systems: state-of-the-art.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266305"} {"pmid": "10266306", "title": "\"Am I in heaven now?\": case history, literary histories.", "content": "\"Am I in heaven now?\": case history, literary histories.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266306"} {"pmid": "10266307", "title": "On the ethics of advertising by the professions.", "content": "On the ethics of advertising by the professions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266307"} {"pmid": "10266308", "title": "Case study: aseptic meningitis.", "content": "Case study: aseptic meningitis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266308"} {"pmid": "10266310", "title": "Confidentiality of QA documentation.", "content": "Confidentiality of QA documentation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266310"} {"pmid": "10266309", "title": "Teaching therapists to teach.", "content": "Teaching therapists to teach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266309"} {"pmid": "10266311", "title": "What is the key to a successful rehabilitation program?", "content": "What is the key to a successful rehabilitation program?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266311"} {"pmid": "10266312", "title": "Team approach.

Pathways, and adolescent family life demostration program at St. Ann's Infant and Maternity Home in Hyattsville, Maryland, which initiated activities in March, 1983, served 268 clients in its 1st year. 59% were 17 years of age or under. A 5-year grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs provided for residential care for pregnant adolescents lacking family to assist them in the last phase of pregnancy; a day program offering accredited educational services and community vocational resources, training in parenting skills, individual and family counseling, and prenatal care for teenagers; an aftercare residence for adolescent mothers and their infants with an intensive program of vocational and parenting education; and a community outreach program offering health care, counseling, family life education, adoption, and other services. The program differs from previous programs at St. Ann's in 5 main ways: 1) substantial care is available to teenage mothers after delivery 2) educational services have been expanded for mothers living at home and attending during the day 3) a more comprehensive counseling program with more intensive family focus in included 4) the program is raching out into the community with a range of services to adolescents seeking assistance, regardless of race, religion, or financial status, and 5) an evluation program has been developed to monitor the operating program, the adolescents receiving services, and their children. The National Center for Family Studies at the Catholic University of America has assisted in staff training and service delivery design. Follow-up studies on clients who have left the program are only beginning. Counseling plans are formulated to fit individual needs, but all residents participate in group therapy sessions led by a psychiatrist and social worker. The infants' fathers and the adolescents' parents recieve services when possible. Although the grant finances the basic program, additional funds are contributed by foundations, United Way, program service fees, and public agencies. Client fees are based on a sliding scale which ranges from 30-100% of the acutal cost of care. Maximum enrollment in the program is 8 mothers and babies in the Aftercare Program, 25 adolescents in the residential program, 10-16 in the day programs, and 40-50 in the coumunity outreach program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266499"} {"pmid": "10266503", "title": "Shaping public policy: a challenge in faith.", "content": "Shaping public policy: a challenge in faith. Religious health care's involvement in public policy is an essential part of Christian life. The most important way in which Catholic hospitals and health care systems can contribute to public policy is through faith-reflection upon their identity and calling. To guide the shaping of public policy, several theological models have been set forth. The theology of democratic capitalism is based on individual human creativity. As a system of political economy organized to prevent the centralization of government power, it thrives on free competition. Well- intentioned social programs that seek to equalize results, according to democratic capitalists , inevitably lead to greater government control and should be avoided. Inequality, in fact, according to this theory, can create incentive for individuals and industry to be more productive. The stewardship approach to theological reflection calls for a distribution of goods and services based on need. The right to health care, for example, is founded in God's gift of creation to all inhabitants. The resources of creation are allotted to individuals as property in a sense of cooperation and sharing. Thus, according to this notion, government programs that help society steward its resources wisely should be promoted. The U.S. bishops ' 1981 pastoral letter on health and health care presents a third model, which reflects on the dignity of human beings as images of God to guide public policy. Models, however, must not replace personal theological reflection. Catholic health care providers share a responsibility to evaluate social issues from their perspective as members of the healing ministry and to participate in public policy development.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266503"} {"pmid": "10266506", "title": "Study of education programs identifies members' needs.", "content": "Study of education programs identifies members' needs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266506"} {"pmid": "10266504", "title": "Patients' informed consent requires understanding of treatment risks.", "content": "Patients' informed consent requires understanding of treatment risks. The need for patient consent to medical treatment derives from the idea that the patient is morally obligated to take ordinary means to preserve his or her life. The physician has only that right over the patient which the patient gives him. To ensure that patient treatment decisions are responsible, consent must be both free and informed. Free consent generally implies that the patient is under no pressure to choose a particular course of action. Informed consent suggests that the physician has a duty to give the patient sufficient information about a proposed procedure's significant risks and benefits. The patient need not receive comprehensive knowledge of the treatment, however, since overdisclosure can interfere with the freedom to decide by playing on patient fears. Though some patients simply disregard treatment information or rely on other factors in their decision making, physicians should not abandon attempts to attain patient understanding. They must develop communication skills and exercise patience in their efforts to explain treatments and obtain consent. Proxies and patient advocates also may be requested, and physicians may consult with their colleagues to guarantee that the patient's best interests are met.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266504"} {"pmid": "10266505", "title": "Theological reflection enhances pastoral care skills.", "content": "Theological reflection enhances pastoral care skills. Theology can contribute to pastoral care by interpreting experiences in a faith context, reinforcing the pastoral care giver's identity, and orienting one's ministry style to be more congruent with that of Jesus. Models for theological reflection generally begin with an analysis of the patient's experience. In addition to gathering information on the factual level, the pastoral care giver seeks to discern the experience's dominant theological meaning. The next step is to identify and explore a theological parallel to the experience. For example, images of \"stopping for a stranger\" or \"taking a detour \" would suggest the theological parallel of the Good Samaritan. The final step is to enact the reflection, that is, to apply the theological interpretation to the patient's situation.

The lectionary for the Roman Catholic Rite for the Anointing of the Sick provides insight into the nature and theology of illness which can be helpful not only for the person who is ill but also for the community that serves that person and for people involved in medical or pastoral care of the sick. The readings address two major questions: Why is there suffering? What is the purpose of chronic illness and of sickness unto death? Responses to these questions involve perception of illness as part of the mystery of iniquity (although there is no simple cause-and-effect relationship between particular sins and a person's illness) and understanding of God's power over sickness. The sick person's configuration to the suffering Christ also plays a part in this mystery. The paradoxical mystery of illness, which cannot be understood outside the context of faith, is reflected in the richly nuanced readings. To avoid a simplistic or incomprehensible approach to the problem, pastoral sensitivity to the sick person's spiritual, physical, and emotional condition is required in the selection of readings to be used on a particular occasion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266511"} {"pmid": "10266495", "title": "Customer-oriented management important to hospitals, survey finds.", "content": "Customer-oriented management important to hospitals, survey finds.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266495"} {"pmid": "10266512", "title": "Reflections on Sr. Mary Angelina's dying.", "content": "Reflections on Sr. Mary Angelina's dying.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266512"} {"pmid": "10266513", "title": "The search for meaning: a pastoral response to suffering.", "content": "The search for meaning: a pastoral response to suffering. To help those who suffer, pastoral care ministers must understand what suffering is, its meaning, and the hope that is offered in the Christian message. Suffering involves the entire person--body and spirit. Fear, stress, guilt, and other kinds of emotional distress are as much a part of suffering as physical symptoms. The sufferer sees his or her wholeness being threatened, and seeks explanations for the suffering. The pastoral care minister must help the sufferer to understand that suffering is not divine retribution but a call to discipleship . Because in Jesus' person God has suffered and known powerlessness, pain, and death, he not only understands the sufferer's needs but shares in them with compassion. To help the patient transcend suffering and find its meaning in the context of faith and revelation, the minister must appreciate the patient as a complete, unique, and spiritual being. The minister must be the sufferer's friend, offering respect, tenderness, and love--not merely because the patient is suffering but because as a human being he or she is entitled to such care .

As hospitals search for means of financing renovation during the next decade, physicians will represent a source of capital through tax-shelter financing. Limited partnerships, condominiums , and joint ventures in acquiring medical equipment or syndicating existing facilities are among the most promising investment vehicles for taking advantage of tax benefits that normally do not apply to nonprofit institutions. In a hospital-physician limited partnership, tax deductions are passed through to the partners, of which there are two kinds: general partners and limited partners. Income (or loss) and tax credits from the entire venture can be divided among the partners and reflected on an individual limited partner's tax return. Rather than shouldering the whole cost of renovating a medical office building, thereby losing the potential tax credit, a hospital could carry out the renovation through a limited partnership with physicians. This would reduce the hospital's capital costs and debt requirements, maintain its credit, and enable it to take advantage of the depreciation deduction. In a condominium venture, the individual physician actually owns the office within which he or she works. As with the limited partnership, the hospital will want to restrict physicians' ability to dispose of their ownership interests.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266514"} {"pmid": "10266515", "title": "What ethical liabilities are posed by PPOs?", "content": "What ethical liabilities are posed by PPOs?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266515"} {"pmid": "10266516", "title": "Hospital continues uphill struggle to survive.", "content": "Hospital continues uphill struggle to survive.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266516"} {"pmid": "10266518", "title": "Productive behavior through the life course: an essay on the quality of life.", "content": "Productive behavior through the life course: an essay on the quality of life.

A prediction of internists needed in the Finnish national health service. Several difficulties regarding manpower planning in health care based on need for service can be demonstrated. Easily obtainable utilisation numbers do not directly reflect demand or need for service, nor can they be used as an approximation of morbidity. Epidemiological studies, on the other hand, do not reveal \"non-clinical\" demand factors. Unmet demand cannot automatically be interpreted as undersupply or lack of resources. Planning according to predicted need has furthermore been severely handicapped by a nongrowing economy; it is rather asking for development through reallocation of resources. Consequently, another approach was chosen in this study - a prediction of internists needed in the Finnish national health service to ensure an equal supply and an efficient provision of services. Equity between regions was measured as number of specialists' positions, hospital admissions and out-patient visits per population.

Multi-hospital systems have increased rapidly in number in recent years. This development is based primarily on hoped-for economies of scale, better access to the capital market, and more expert management. The place and the role of doctors in this process has, to judge from the literature, been passed by almost unnoticed. Is this also a case of the \"benign neglect\" that prevailed with respect to the medical organization when management structures were established in the separate hospitals? The present article reports on an exploratory study of the situation of doctors and the medical staff organization in three European multi-hospital systems. Two important structural elements, the strengthening of management and the medical staff organization, appear to be of fundamental importance for the determination of the place and the role of doctors in multi-hospital systems and of the way the doctors themselves experience the system. There are a number of factors that one may assume affect the situation of doctors in such systems: the process of system formation, the size of the system, the influence of the general environment, cost-consciousness of the doctors, and the force of strong personalities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266576"} {"pmid": "10266577", "title": "The National Commission for Health Certifying Agencies: an introduction.", "content": "The National Commission for Health Certifying Agencies: an introduction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266577"} {"pmid": "10266579", "title": "Enhancing leadership skills for community self-help organizations through behavioral instruction.", "content": "Enhancing leadership skills for community self-help organizations through behavioral instruction.

During the next 25 years, two additions were required to meet the growing demand for health care services in Wright count. In 1977, shortly after the hospital became a division of Health Central, plans were initiated to replace the over-crowded facility with a completely new hospital.

Cardiac pacemaker malfunctions are of continuous concern to the medical profession as well as to the electronics industry. Certain failures in cardiac pacemaker performance are critical and can result in patient deaths. Cardiac pacemakers are vulnerable to certain malfunctions in the electrode, batteries and the electronic circuit. This paper focuses on failures and reliability of the electronic circuit and how they affect its choice and design. The paper discusses the issues of balancing the various failure modes by considering both failure rates and failure outcomes. As the choice of an appropriate pacemaker is a decision problem under conditions of uncertainty, we employ decision analysis as the analytical and conceptual framework. Use of utility theory enables a systematic quantitative evaluation of such seeming intangibles as the various failure outcomes. Probabilities are assessed using specific engineering and reliability literature. The method is demonstrated on a choice problem between two specific electronic circuit designs. The methodology can be useful in designing the electronic circuit to meet certain reliability specifications, deciding whether or not to introduce redundancy, decisions affecting components and technology, and establishing minimal reliability standards, with regard not only to cardiac pacemakers but to other electronics as well.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266620"} {"pmid": "10266623", "title": "The voluntary organization and the business school: a partnership waiting to happen.", "content": "The voluntary organization and the business school: a partnership waiting to happen.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266623"} {"pmid": "10266621", "title": "Personal information tools (personal computers): the changing environment and its management.", "content": "Personal information tools (personal computers): the changing environment and its management.

Not only has the extended-hours medical service offered by the Riverside Medical Clinic Urgent Care Center been an answer to increasing competition, it has added a critical dimension in the clinic's development of a truly integrated medical delivery system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266636"} {"pmid": "10266659", "title": "Supervisor selection: how to pick a winner.", "content": "Supervisor selection: how to pick a winner.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266659"} {"pmid": "10266637", "title": "Physician \"supply-side\" economics.", "content": "Physician \"supply-side\" economics.

There is a new climate of deregulation and increasing competition in the healthcare marketplace. Until recently, methods for moderating the cost of health care have focused on inpatient care to the virtual exclusion of other delivery systems. Thus, ambulatory care has been almost totally ignored. The prominence of business/health coalitions has begun to highlight outpatient providers. Furthermore, medical group practices are beginning to negotiate directly with businesses and industries to provide an agreed upon set of outpatient services. As a part of its ongoing activities and through a grant from the Western Network for Education in Health Administration in Berkeley, California, the Center for Research has initiated a project, New Perspectives for Affordable, Quality Health Care. The research underlying this upcoming Center publication was conducted by Dr. Tynan of the University of Colorado at Denver, School of Public Administration.

Demographic, educational and employment information was collected in a data base survey from more than five thousand professional nurses in a thirteen county region of upper New York State. Based upon three mini-surveys, a questionnaire assessing learning needs was then developed and sent to a large subpopulation of these nurses. An analysis of fifteen hundred responses to the questionnaire identified continuing nursing education priorities in the region. Responses to the data base survey and the learning needs questionnaire were merged into a computerized data base management system, which is used to select topics, design courses, and communicate with nurses in the region regarding continuing education. This approach to needs assessment, program planning and dissemination of continuing education information should be useful in solving analogous problems in other areas of continuing professional education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266728"} {"pmid": "10266729", "title": "Regional coordinators of continuing pharmacy education.

The purpose of this paper is to report the contributions of the network to continuing education since its inauguration. As of 1983, 94 pharmacists have been trained to assist with the design and management of continuing education programs and they have had a significant impact on regional programming. When yearly summary statistics from the four years prior to the network are compared to the seven subsequent years an approximate five-fold increase in the average number of programs is found. There is also a greater than two fold increase in the average number of contact hours and an approximate six-fold increase in the average number of registrations. The network of coordinators has increased not only the quantity but also the relevancy of programs by focusing on regional needs. In addition, the network has had spill-over benefits to the University of British Columbia and the licensing body in some of their other province-wide activities such as teleconferencing competency assessment, and poison prevention programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266729"} {"pmid": "10266727", "title": "Recruiting physicians for a continuing medical education research study.", "content": "Recruiting physicians for a continuing medical education research study.

Two hundred and seventy-seven (11%) returned a postcard declining to participate, and 171 (7%) expressed an interest in participating. Of this latter group, 89 (3%) verbally agreed to enroll, while 63 (2%) actually followed through. Those who participated were representative of the local physician population from which they were drawn in terms of age and sex, but participants included more family practitioners and fewer internists, as well as more board-certified physicians, than would be expected by chance.

Based on a small N study of emerging citizen leaders in grassroots organizations, this article proposes a view of empowerment as a necessarily long-term process of adult learning and development. In this framework, empowerment is further described as the continuing construction of a multi-dimensional participatory competence. This conception encompasses both cognitive and behavioral change.

The alternative--the \"synergy paradigm\"--is empitomized in \"synergistic community,\" where valued human resources are renewable and expanding, and distributed equitably to members, so that what is good for one is good for all and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Three field studies present cross-cultural evidence for the functioning of empowerment within a synergistic paradigm. Empowerment is considered as access to and control of valued resources; the specific valued resource focused upon is community healing. The studies suggest that community healing resources can become renewable and expanding, as can the process of empowerment which accesses them. Community members share these resources, combining conflicting resources into unexpectedly effective treatment packages. Given present inequities in resource distribution, transformative education is offered as one means to support a shift in thinking toward synergy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266758"} {"pmid": "10266757", "title": "Help seeking and receiving in urban ethnic neighborhoods: strategies for empowerment.", "content": "Help seeking and receiving in urban ethnic neighborhoods: strategies for empowerment.

The decision of a hospital to initiate an adolescent program not only depends on an identified community need, but also must have the necessary physical space and attract qualified professionals to develop and manage the program.

Hospital pharmacists must take the initiative in accepting responsibility for chemotherapy preparations, I.V. additives and compounding as well as the adoption of a unit dose drug distribution system as a positive means to reduce medication errors. The report of the Hospital for Sick Children Review Committee makes it equally clear that society has expectations of an institutional pharmacy service that are considerably beyond that which we are accustomed to providing. The recommendations relating to pharmacy provide adequate support to facilitate the establishment of a contemporary drug distribution system in Canadian hospitals. Similarly the C.S.H.P.

The objective of this program is to teach patients about their medications while still under medical supervision. Patients are counselled throughout the program by nurses and a pharmacist. Family members are also counselled on request. The program is completed by a final discussion with the patient prior to discharge. As a result of the program a manual was produced for use by pharmacy and nursing personnel to help define their respective roles in the program. Results of a patient survey indicated that a definite benefit was perceived by all patients who were helped to develop their ability to self-medicate. Errors made while in the hospital were discovered and corrected prior to discharge. Pharmacy time required to set up the program was, initially, extensive.

This paper sets out the symptoms of the crisis. The effectiveness of modern medicine has been questioned by many. Doctors use too many tests and do not always understand the results. This is the practice of 'decerebrate medicine'. The alleged triumphs of modern medicine have made only a modest impact on mortality rates and death from iatrogenic causes is real. Modern medicine is allied to the industrial society with its hierarchies and division of work. This leads to tensions between doctors and between doctors and their patients. Administrators fear the progressive rise in health costs and ask whether more really means better. Economists demand evaluation of medical procedures and there is a growing demand for real preventive medicine. Health is a problem for the whole of society. This paper then sets out the epistemological aspects of the crisis in medicine. It suggests that a new paradigm must be constructed in the light of the scientific revolution. The concept of medicine based on analytical science with its reductionism and disjunctivism is not enough to cover the complexity of man. The new paradigm needs to embrace all the sciences, both of nature and of man.

To facilitate such a choice, a set of criteria is developed. Six existing indicators are valued according to the stipulated criteria. Unemployment is taken as the example because there is a demand for comparative health surveys between unemployed and employed in order to validate findings in the unemployment literature. The comparison of the health of unemployed and employed is used as an example on the basis of which more general statements can be made about the comparison of the health of people in other polar social roles like divorced versus married, immigrants versus residents, that involve a transition from one social role to another.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266879"} {"pmid": "10266880", "title": "The role of clinical epidemiology in medical practice.", "content": "The role of clinical epidemiology in medical practice. Epidemiological research has been carried out traditionally in the field on non-clinical populations and has sought to reveal the aetiology of disease. But in the 1960's a possible role for epidemiology in the study of clinical practice emerged. A series of articles on scientific methodology and clinical medicine argued that much of the reasoning underpinning clinical practice might be expressed in numerical terms. This numerical expression would require the counting of diseases and events in groups of patients and would thus employ similar methods to traditional epidemiology where diseases are counted in populations. Although the term 'clinical epidemiology' was introduced as early as 1938, Sackett was instrumental in promoting the concept in 1969 as the 'application by a physician... of epidemiologic and biometric methods to the study of the diagnostic and therapeutic process in order to effect an improvement in health'. The management of individual patients involves the clinician in a multitude of decisions, concerned with making a diagnosis, ordering tests, prescribing treatment and estimating prognosis. Decisions are often made in a state of uncertainty because no reasonably objective information is available to indicate the best decision in the given circumstances, or because the most appropriate sequence of decisions for an individual patient is not apparent. Although the state of the art does not allow us to do this completely, the role of clinical epidemiology is, by way of clinical research, to provide clinicians with the information to make decisions that are most appropriate for the welfare of their patients, and in combination with information derived from decision theory to make these decisions rapidly and logically.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266880"} {"pmid": "10266881", "title": "Technology assessment in the U.S.A.", "content": "Technology assessment in the U.S.A.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266881"} {"pmid": "10266885", "title": "When the press meets you....", "content": "When the press meets you....", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266885"} {"pmid": "10266883", "title": "Finding the right system.", "content": "Finding the right system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266883"} {"pmid": "10266884", "title": "When you meet the press.", "content": "When you meet the press.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266884"} {"pmid": "10266882", "title": "A fertile ground for marketing.", "content": "A fertile ground for marketing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266882"} {"pmid": "10266857", "title": "Preparing funding proposals: a component checklist.", "content": "Preparing funding proposals: a component checklist.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266857"} {"pmid": "10266856", "title": "Quality assurance: building trust.

This very brief talk can only scratch at the surface of the way in which we approach these matters within AMI. I would remind you that we are very small in comparison with the national health service, and what is effective for us, may not be effective for you. Our philosophy is to give the manager responsibility, along with authority to act, to control the direction of the organisation centrally, but to delegate downwards the detailed day to day decision making, to measure managerial performance by results, and to emphasise above all the quality of the service we provide to our patients. Our various management structures are pyramid-shaped and identify a responsible leader at each level of the organisation. Our budgeting process enables us to set our financial plans, and our financial control process enables us to measure progress against those plans. Finally, I referred to the vitally important part which our people play translating that management philosophy and those goals and objectives into reality and our efforts to equip those people through training programmes to meet the heavy demands which we place upon them. In summary, we select the right person, train him, provide him with the necessary resources, motivate him and leave him alone to do the job. Whether any of this is of relevance to you in the national health service is for you to judge. My suspicion is that if there is relevance, it is to do with attitudes and expectations and demands and performance, rather than simply in structures and systems and organisational charts.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266920"} {"pmid": "10266918", "title": "Another health care system: a visit to Newfoundland.", "content": "Another health care system: a visit to Newfoundland.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266918"} {"pmid": "10266922", "title": "Management budgets after Griffiths: impact on the management process.", "content": "Management budgets after Griffiths: impact on the management process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266922"} {"pmid": "10266923", "title": "Planning in the French health care system--the example of the Assistance Publique de Paris.", "content": "Planning in the French health care system--the example of the Assistance Publique de Paris.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266923"} {"pmid": "10266925", "title": "Consent to medical treatment: the choice is yours.", "content": "Consent to medical treatment: the choice is yours.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266925"} {"pmid": "10266921", "title": "Problems of patients waiting for orthopaedic out-patient appointments.", "content": "Problems of patients waiting for orthopaedic out-patient appointments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266921"} {"pmid": "10266924", "title": "Working abroad--time for a new perspective?", "content": "Working abroad--time for a new perspective?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266924"} {"pmid": "10266930", "title": "Building and engineering assets--a total information system to support cost effective management.", "content": "Building and engineering assets--a total information system to support cost effective management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266930"} {"pmid": "10266932", "title": "Microprocessor nurse call handsets--an application of advanced electronics for easier patient operation and greatly reduced maintenance costs.", "content": "Microprocessor nurse call handsets--an application of advanced electronics for easier patient operation and greatly reduced maintenance costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266932"} {"pmid": "10266935", "title": "Family selection of long-term care services: it's not just the facility that's important.", "content": "Family selection of long-term care services: it's not just the facility that's important.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266935"} {"pmid": "10266933", "title": "Essendon and District Memorial Hospital.", "content": "Essendon and District Memorial Hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266933"} {"pmid": "10266934", "title": "Is the future of health marketing going to be directed by videotex systems?", "content": "Is the future of health marketing going to be directed by videotex systems?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266934"} {"pmid": "10266938", "title": "Challenges in marketing mental health senior services.", "content": "Challenges in marketing mental health senior services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266938"} {"pmid": "10266939", "title": "Skilled nursing facility marketing: a better piece of pie.", "content": "Skilled nursing facility marketing: a better piece of pie.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266939"} {"pmid": "10266937", "title": "The medical marketing audit: technique for today's competitive extended care environment.", "content": "The medical marketing audit: technique for today's competitive extended care environment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266937"} {"pmid": "10266936", "title": "Marketing services for seniors.", "content": "Marketing services for seniors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266936"} {"pmid": "10266940", "title": "Control of the marketing effort in health care organizations.", "content": "Control of the marketing effort in health care organizations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266940"} {"pmid": "10266931", "title": "Queen Victoria Medical Centre--how the South Eastern Medical Complex got off the ground.", "content": "Queen Victoria Medical Centre--how the South Eastern Medical Complex got off the ground.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266931"} {"pmid": "10266941", "title": "Summary statistics describe 131 operational coalitions.", "content": "Summary statistics describe 131 operational coalitions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266941"} {"pmid": "10266942", "title": "SC Court of Appeals establishes rule on malpractice informed consent.", "content": "SC Court of Appeals establishes rule on malpractice informed consent.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10266942"} {"pmid": "10266943", "title": "West Virginia hospital board composition law challenged;

When properly implemented, participative management fulfills three basic human work needs--the need for autonomy or control over one's behavior, the need for completion or achievement of a whole task, and the need for interpersonal contact in the context of work. Failure to fulfill these needs can have serious consequences: Employees may be harmed both psychologically and physically. Thus organizations may be killing their employees--but not with kindness. Sashkin argues that it is unethical to manage in any way but participatively if one adheres to the fundamental values of Western civilization. Thus participative management is an ethical imperative.

It can also be used by professionals from different disciplines who are developing programs to teach healthy life-style choices. The framework is organized into three ideas: (1) Health status to a large extent reflects the individual's styles of living (a composite of beliefs, emotions, and action patterns). (2) These styles can be encouraged or sabotaged by the individual's support structures (relationships, environments, and equipment). (3) The change process can be seen as a series of steps that cycle through phases of readiness appraisal, decision making, experimentation, and reevaluation. clinical examples and documentation from relevant theory and research illustrate and substantiate the framework.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267066"} {"pmid": "10267068", "title": "How corporations are trying to control health care spending.", "content": "How corporations are trying to control health care spending.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267068"} {"pmid": "10267067", "title": "Administrative and management issues in developing a health-education component of a large HMO: a case study.", "content": "Administrative and management issues in developing a health-education component of a large HMO: a case study.

Pointing to the greater versatility and lower cost of personal computers (in comparison with terminals), he describes how their prowess at recordkeeping/word processing, and performing \"what if\" calculations in compensation analysis frees those working with compensation to address objectives that previously went unmet because no one had time for them. Compensation programs that provide this \"what if\" capability are sometimes referred to as a spreadsheet: a combination electronic scratch pad and calculator. Russ shows precisely how such spreadsheets are used to manipulate compensation data, cites available spreadsheet software and functions, and points to survey results showing the many ways in which personal computers are being used by the compensation departments of major consumer product companies.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267050"} {"pmid": "10267051", "title": "Strategies for successful interpersonal negotiating.", "content": "Strategies for successful interpersonal negotiating.

Lederer, who spent ten years installing such systems before joining the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh (as assistant professor of business administration), is fully cognizant of the pitfalls involved and the problems that personnel departments encounter in the process. After discussing what an HRIS can accomplish, he gives a thoroughgoing, detailed approach to developing such a system--from cost justification, to the personnel department's relationship with the data-processing department at each step, to deciding between buying a packaged system and developing a new system internally. Most important, he emphasizes, is to define requirements precisely and completely at the outset--those who don't are in for a lot of costly headaches. Much more is covered in this comprehensive approach--not the least of which is (for packaged systems) vendor analysis and contract negotiation (the contract stipulates the vendor's responsibilities in terms of software, installation service, maintenance, training, and documentation).

Such surveys measure the time lapse between when a radiographic examination is performed and when the typewritten report is received by physician or nursing station.

This study examines the potential biases that may exist when data which are collected at one level of aggregation (e.g., the United States) are extrapolated to a smaller area of aggregation (e.g., a census region consisting of several states). Theory would predict that there would be inaccuracies resulting from such extrapolation but does not suggest whether the error would be of sufficient size as to have practical significance for a planner. This study clearly shows that attempting to predict smaller area hospitalizations with large area data is highly inaccurate. It is not only consistent with theory but also shows that the theory has practical value in assessing approaches to estimating hospitalization data. Faced with a need for diagnosis-specific data and the inability to directly acquire such data, health planners have been encouraged to use the approach of synthetic estimation. This approach suggests that the planner can use disease-specific data collected for 1 area (e.g., United States), find correaltes of that data (e.g., age, race, sex) which are also available for a smaller area (e.g., a state) and then use the small area correlates to predict the disease-specific morbidity for the small area. This study examines the potential biases that may exist in the stnthetic estimation of hospitalization and whether or not the degree of error that is introduced would have a significant impact on job decisions. The general approach of the study is to form regression equations using relevant predicting variables at 1 ecological level, using several years of data at that level as the observations. Then, the regression coefficients from these equations are applied to the corresponding predicting variables at an area of lower ecological level to develop a prediction of hospital discharges or admissions for the area of lower ecological level. This prediction can then be verified against the actual of hospital discharges/admissions specific to the areas in question--Rhode Island is this study. The findings show poor results of prediction when regional regression equation are applied to the Rhode Osland health service area. It is argued that aggregation bias is the main reason for these poor results. The loss of prediction accuracy due to the problem of aggregation bias approximately form 64.0%-84.3%. This magnitude of error presents too great an impact on planning decisions to be of any use. It is very difficult for local planners to estimate future hospital utilization by diagnosis for the purpose of health planning without primary data collection. However, this is often impossible for competitive reasons or because it is discouraged by P.L. 93-641. The authors argue that, because of the paucity of existing data about hospital utilization by diagnosis which palnners can use for health planning in their medical service areas, the efforts os systematic collection of such data in the private sector should be effectively encouraged by the Federal Government.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267092"} {"pmid": "10267097", "title": "Nursing home residents mingle and chat over afternoon glass of wine.", "content": "Nursing home residents mingle and chat over afternoon glass of wine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267097"} {"pmid": "10267098", "title": "West Park's elegance suits the elderly.", "content": "West Park's elegance suits the elderly.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267098"} {"pmid": "10267096", "title": "Menu census 1984.", "content": "Menu census 1984.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267096"} {"pmid": "10267099", "title": "Nutrition-education blitz: an idea whose time had come.", "content": "Nutrition-education blitz: an idea whose time had come.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267099"} {"pmid": "10267100", "title": "Menu combines patients' preferences with good nutrition.", "content": "Menu combines patients' preferences with good nutrition.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267100"} {"pmid": "10267101", "title": "Improving the productivity of service businesses.", "content": "Improving the productivity of service businesses.

In this Final Standard, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establishes a permissible exposure limit for occupational exposure to ethylene oxide (EtO) of 1 part EtO per million parts of air (1 ppm) determined as an 8-hour time-weighted average concentration. The basis for this action is a determination by the Assistant Secretary, based on animal and human data, that exposure to EtO presents a carcinogenic, mutagenic, genotoxic, reproductive, neurologic and sensitization hazard to workers. The standard provides for, among other requirements, methods of exposure control, personal protective equipment, measurement of employee exposures, training, medical surveillance, signs and labels, regulated areas, emergency procedures and recordkeeping. An \"action level\" of 0.5 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average is established as the level above which employers must initiate certain compliance activities such as periodic employee exposure monitoring and medical surveillance. In instances where the employer can demonstrate that employee exposures are below the action level, the employer is not obligated to comply with most of the requirements set forth in this final rule. The 1 ppm 8-hour limit reduces significant risk from exposure to EtO and is considered by OSHA to be the lowest levels feasible.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267169"} {"pmid": "10267170", "title": "Privacy Act of 1974: amendment of existing system of records--HHS.", "content": "Privacy Act of 1974: amendment of existing system of records--HHS.

In the second phase, 152 new referrals were prospectively allocated between the consultant and appropriate peripheral clinics (group 2).

It is concluded that NCPCs could be incorporated into the diabetic service in other regions in the United Kingdom with advantages to diabetics and hospital services alike.

To address this problem a meta-analysis was undertaken to establish norms on patient satisfaction for various types of mental health programs. Programs were categorized according to three dimensions: inpatient vs. outpatient vs. residential care; chronic vs. non-chronic; and conventional vs. innovative. Meta-analysis procedures were modified to accommodate the single-group study designs that dominate the literature. The analysis revealed that chronic patients express less satisfaction with their treatment compared to non-chronic patients. Innovative programs are viewed more positively than conventional ones. No differences were found in rates of patient satisfaction between inpatient and outpatient programs. Acceptably reliable norms and confidence intervals of patient satisfaction were established for conventional inpatient programs serving either chronic or non-chronic patients; conventional outpatient programs for non-chronic patients; and for all programs combined according to chronic vs. non-chronic, inpatient vs. outpatient, and conventional vs. innovative.

All too often premature application of quantitative indicators formerly used for individual assessment and research to bureaucratic decision making produces side effects that are dysfunctional in nature. Frequently these side effects influence service delivery directly. More insidious, because they are less easily discerned, are distortions introduced into the data by evaluation pressure.

Society has a moral obligation to provide adequate access to health care for all, concludes the President's Commission for te Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavorial Research in its report Securing Access to Health Care. Though the federal government's involvement is not necessary if private forces are able to achieve equity in health care delivery, the government bears the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that society fulfills its obligations. Meeting these objectives will require changes in the country's political and economic systems, which traditionally have not emphasized subordinating the individual good to the common good. The needs of the poor must take priority even at risk of burdening the advantaged. The commission recognizes that it is irresponsible to advocate equity without acknowledging the need to control costs. Greater equity can be attained only if changes in health care management practices are adopted and if decisions regarding resource use are based on social goals. Thus placing the needs of the poor first may mean a commitment to use less high-cost treatment. The report presents an opportunity to promote a more just health care policy. Catholic health care facilities, for example, can be made models of institutions that have met the needs of the poor, and they can become social justice advocates for government policies that benefit the poor and the disadvantaged.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267321"} {"pmid": "10267320", "title": "Report of the Catholic Health Assembly.", "content": "Report of the Catholic Health Assembly.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267320"} {"pmid": "10267324", "title": "Designing material handling and movement systems.", "content": "Designing material handling and movement systems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267324"} {"pmid": "10267325", "title": "Perspective: the future of material management in Canada in the 1980s.", "content": "Perspective: the future of material management in Canada in the 1980s.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267325"} {"pmid": "10267327", "title": "Viewpoint: hospital materiel management in British Columbia.", "content": "Viewpoint: hospital materiel management in British Columbia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267327"} {"pmid": "10267326", "title": "Human factors and industrial design in hospital materiel management.", "content": "Human factors and industrial design in hospital materiel management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267326"} {"pmid": "10267328", "title": "Group purchasing and shared regional services.", "content": "Group purchasing and shared regional services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267328"} {"pmid": "10267329", "title": "Group tendering on a provincewide basis.", "content": "Group tendering on a provincewide basis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267329"} {"pmid": "10267330", "title": "Materiel management--psychology of change: the people aspect.", "content": "Materiel management--psychology of change: the people aspect.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267330"} {"pmid": "10267331", "title": "Central dispatch--human resource planning and implementation.", "content": "Central dispatch--human resource planning and implementation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267331"} {"pmid": "10267332", "title": "Profile of a workable distribution system.", "content": "Profile of a workable distribution system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267332"} {"pmid": "10267333", "title": "Developing a materiel evaluation and standardization committee.", "content": "Developing a materiel evaluation and standardization committee.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267333"} {"pmid": "10267334", "title": "Requirements for development of a computerized materiel management system.", "content": "Requirements for development of a computerized materiel management system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267334"} {"pmid": "10267335", "title": "The importance of physician-patient communication.", "content": "The importance of physician-patient communication.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267335"} {"pmid": "10267323", "title": "How should Catholic hospitals allocate ICU admissions?", "content": "How should Catholic hospitals allocate ICU admissions?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267323"} {"pmid": "10267322", "title": "CEO's challenge: balance fiscal solvency, service to poor.", "content": "CEO's challenge: balance fiscal solvency, service to poor. Competitive practices and the prospective payment system are among factors challenging Catholic health care facilities' commitment to serve the poor and elderly and to provide individualized care. To concentrate their mission on services to the marginated and thus alienate other payer groups through inability to compete in either services or price is fiscal suicide. Sponsors and CEOs of Catholic facilities are exploring creative solutions to this dilemma: Revising the mission statement. The facility may restate its goals--e.g., to provide an \"adequate\" level of care and technology, rather than \"the best care possible;\" Changing delivery methods to focus on outreach services, ambulatory care centers, surgicenters, etc.; Finding new ways of providing charity care through endowment, trust, foundation, and unrelated business income. Corporate restructuring to generate income and protect the facility's asset base is being widely studied. Because many congregations sponsor several institutions, Catholic health facilities are well positioned to enter multi-institutional systems and participate in networking as a means to save money and to market services. Catholic health care facilities must form a nationwide system of influence in the growing public policy debate about access to and rationing of health care. Before these issues are resolved; Catholic facilities will continue to feel pressure to provide services beyond their means. The chief executive officer has four particular tasks during this period: To use an entrepreneurial approach to generate funds to support the facility's mission activity; To guide the board of trustees to accept multi-institutional arrangements; To raise legislators' and citizens' awareness of the institution's fiscal challenges; To motivate the institution's staff to provide individualized, compassionate care in spite of the depersonalizing effects of DRGs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267322"} {"pmid": "10267338", "title": "New management strategies help solve unique challenges in terminal care.", "content": "New management strategies help solve unique challenges in terminal care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267338"} {"pmid": "10267337", "title": "In what hospital activities should the personnel department be involved?", "content": "In what hospital activities should the personnel department be involved?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267337"} {"pmid": "10267339", "title": "One form replaces 20 to help Christ Hospital make more productive use of social workers' time.", "content": "One form replaces 20 to help Christ Hospital make more productive use of social workers' time.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267339"} {"pmid": "10267340", "title": "Use of a recording device to schedule elective admissions increases productivity.", "content": "Use of a recording device to schedule elective admissions increases productivity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267340"} {"pmid": "10267336", "title": "Budgeting.", "content": "Budgeting.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267336"} {"pmid": "10267350", "title": "Flame retardants.", "content": "Flame retardants.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267350"} {"pmid": "10267351", "title": "Private sector overview.", "content": "Private sector overview.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267351"} {"pmid": "10267352", "title": "Total care of the elderly.", "content": "Total care of the elderly.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267352"} {"pmid": "10267353", "title": "Replacing flat roofs.", "content": "Replacing flat roofs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267353"} {"pmid": "10267354", "title": "Review of human subjects research: options available to the Institutional Review Board.", "content": "Review of human subjects research: options available to the Institutional Review Board.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267354"} {"pmid": "10267344", "title": "Eliminate transcribing on nursing units--a time and money saving new approach to ancillary requisitioning.", "content": "Eliminate transcribing on nursing units--a time and money saving new approach to ancillary requisitioning.

The role of values in community mental health, community psychology, and behavioral community psychology are contrasted. Implicit value positions are entrenched in the terminology of community psychology and community mental health theory while theory in behavioral community psychology, because of its functional rather than structural orientation, does not contain the same level of value positions. Traditionally, value positions have been concerned with the quality of life, i.e., what makes up the \"good life.\" However, the worldwide crises of starvation, nuclear armament, and pollution necessitates an orientation to a more fundamental type of value, i.e., survival of the species or the opportunity for life.

Inservice education is potentially one of the most effective tools of the clinical engineer. A good technical inservice program can significantly reduce the amount of time engineers and technicians must spend on repetitive, corrective tasks, allowing them to be of greater value to their institutions in more creative ways. A complete technical inservice education program has been designed for the University of Connecticut Health Center's John Dempsey Hospital. To design such a program, one must first assess current inservice practices and any associated problems, as well as the educational needs of the clinical staff. The assessment is done by examining past equipment repair records, and by surveying nurses and other clinicians within the hospital, clinical engineers from outside hospitals, and equipment vendors. A sample program is then carried out to gather additional information and gain the acceptance and support of key hospital personnel. Based on the compiled data, an inservice program is proposed that is streamlined to maintain a desirable level of efficacy without requiring an inordinate amount of time.

The paper reports the base rate for this behavior in a large (N = 2,358) sample of cases who either only made inquiry or who received treatment at the agency. The inquiry group, or \"teasers,\" tended to have children who were older than client groups, to have relatively more behavioral and fewer personality problems, to have demonstrated problems earlier than client groups, and to have parents who were slightly older. A follow-up study was conducted with 100 inquiry and 100 client cases. The relative efficacy of telephone and written questionnaire methodologies are compared, demonstrating that the telephone approach was more effective. Client-group children were reported to be only moderately better off at the time of follow-up than the inquiry group, but conclusions about the effects of treatment are limited by the finding that many members of the inquiry group had sought treatment elsewhere after their brief contact with the agency.

The effects of the role-induction or placebo manipulation were assessed by a measure of expectancy, satisfaction ratings, and data on premature termination and attendance. Results indicated that the patients who received the role preparation procedure as well as placebo patients had changed their expectations in appropriate ways by the end of therapy.

This study was performed to determine the extent of the problem and the cause(s) of the loosening connections. Of 45 hospitals responding to the survey, 15 reported a total of 25 melted plugs. Terminal torques were measured on the plugs of ninety-nine randoMly selected medical devices; 21% of the inspected torques measured zero in-lbs. Static mechanical tests were performed on the plug terminals of five manufacturers. A maximum decrease in torque of 18% was noted over a 6-month period. The combined affects of current cycling and cold flow on the terminal torques were also noted to be about 43% over a six-month period. Loosening torques appear to be more frequently associated with appliances requiring high currents and those that are frequently inserted and withdrawn from receptacles. It is concluded that a serious problem exists with loosened terminals in hospital-grade plugs. Until a design change can correct this screw loosening, maintenance groups have a responsibility to assure adequately low wire-to-terminal resistances.

House and J. L. Baetz (1979 in B. Staw & L. Cummings, Eds., Research in Organizational Behavior (Vol. 1), Greenwich, Connecticut, JAI Press) have suggested that the effects of some leader traits and behaviors may be relatively invariant; that is, have the same effects in a variety of situations. One possible class of leader behaviors which may have relatively consistent effects across situations are those known as leader reward and punishment behaviors. The first goal of the research reported here was to increase our understanding of the relationships between leader contingent and noncontingent reward and punishment behaviors and subordinate responses. Contingent reward behavior was found to have the most pronounced relationships with subordinate performance and satisfaction, followed by noncontingent punishment behavior. Neither leader noncontingent reward nor contingent punishment behavior were found to be related to either subordinate performance or satisfaction, with the exception that noncontingent reward behavior was negatively related to subordinates' satisfaction with work. The second goal of the research was to examine the effects of a variety of potential moderators on the relationships between leader reward and punishment behaviors and subordinate responses. The results of this study suggest that the relationships between leader reward and punishment behaviors and subordinates' performance are relatively free of moderating effects.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267503"} {"pmid": "10267504", "title": "May a creditor create a third-party collection agency?", "content": "May a creditor create a third-party collection agency?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267504"} {"pmid": "10267505", "title": "Containing costs in the blood bank by reducing unnecessary crossmatching.", "content": "Containing costs in the blood bank by reducing unnecessary crossmatching.

An individual case study in music-making was carried out as well. All videotapes were reviewed and we observed that an increase in the range and ease of movement of the patients occurred during weight-shifting activities, when appropriate music with a tempo of 58 to 63 beats per minute was used. Our observations supported the findings of recent research concerning preferred tempi for certain activities and reinforcement of movement by appropriate tempi. Other factors in our study, such as size of group, placement, cueing, and the opportunity to touch, appeared to affect the responses obtained in group situations. As the result of our observations, we have concluded that music enhances the general mobility and social interaction of patients who have sustained a cerebrovascular accident and that it may also improve a patient's emotional stability.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267518"} {"pmid": "10267517", "title": "Effectiveness of teaching interviewing and communication skills to physiotherapy students.", "content": "Effectiveness of teaching interviewing and communication skills to physiotherapy students. Recognition of the importance of effective interviewing and communication skills, and the concomitant need to teach such skills to students in the helping professions are both relatively recent phenomena in rehabilitation medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the model developed at the Institut de réadaptation de Montréal (IRM model) in the teaching of interviewing skills to physiotherapy students in the clinical setting. Twenty-six final-year physiotherapy students were assigned to two groups of 13 each, one of which received structured training in interviewing skills over a four-week period while the other received no specific instruction. Analyses of the appraisals of pre- and post-test student-patient interviews--the appraisals having been done not only by the students themselves, but by the patients and the independent raters--showed that scores on each evaluation improved significantly following the students' training program. The group receiving no training showed no significant improvement. The authors conclude that a short clinical training program using the IRM model can be effective in improving the interviewing skills of physiotherapy students.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267517"} {"pmid": "10267520", "title": "Too many volunteers?

The training program consists of four short-term goals: to provide trunk stability; to promote limb and postural control; to teach static head control; and to teach dynamic head control.

The relative competitive advantages of regional and national systems are summarized in Figure One. As illustrated, each type of system has unique competitive advantages at the corporate level. While it is difficult to state that either system has distinct advantages that place it in a superior position relative to the other, it seems that in the short-run investor-owned systems have operating characteristics that may result in more efficient internal functioning because of more centralized control over resource allocation and performance systems, greater possibilities for economies of scale, and greater access to capital. However, it was previously noted that growing pressures from government and the business community will lead to tighter constraints on the profitability of investments in the health care sector. The possibility of this shift suggests that the access to capital advantage enjoyed by investor-owned systems may not continue. Additionally, regional systems that are part of larger affiliated organizations such as the Sun Alliance and the Voluntary Hospitals of America are developing means to pool their access to debt funds, thus reducing the cost of capital for member institutions. The group purchasing contracts developed by these large systems also have resulted in significant savings. The distinction between regional and national systems on centralized control are becoming less pronounced. Investor-owned systems are seeking to determine how they might best decentralize selected decisions to be more responsive to local markets while not-for-profit regional systems are recognizing that they must centralize selected decisions to obtain more efficient, rational operation. The long-run outlook suggests that the competitive advantages that have been identified will become less pronounced and that both systems will survive in the marketplace.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267556"} {"pmid": "10267569", "title": "Results from the 1983 survey of surgical technologists.", "content": "Results from the 1983 survey of surgical technologists.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267569"} {"pmid": "10267574", "title": "Leverage through knowledge.

Data were gathered via a survey of PharmD graduates from the seven post-baccalaureate programs active since 1972. Respondents were asked about their employment patterns and characteristics; about their formal education in the areas of management, statistics, and research methods; and to indicate whether they had completed residencies or fellowships. The results indicate that many PharmD graduates are employed in positions requiring considerable nonclinical skills, especially management skills. The results further indicate that few respondents have completed formal education, residencies, or fellowships which would prepare them for management or other nonclinical positions. Consequently, it appears that PharmD programs should require considerably more management training and education in order to adequately prepare their graduates for the positions open to them.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267622"} {"pmid": "10267625", "title": "Poison control center liability.", "content": "Poison control center liability.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267625"} {"pmid": "10267623", "title": "Educational programs offered by colleges of pharmacy and drug information centers within the United States.", "content": "Educational programs offered by colleges of pharmacy and drug information centers within the United States.

A total of 109 questionnaires (91 percent response rate) were returned from the DICs, and 67 questionnaires (93 percent response rate) were returned from colleges of pharmacy. Seventy-four of the DICS and 63 colleges of pharmacy indicated that they provide required and/or elective didactic or experiential drug information training for pharmacy students. These experiences were offered predominantly to fifth year baccalaureate candidates and PharmD candidates. Thirty-two colleges reported that drug information training is a required component of baccalaureate externship-clerkship experiences although most students receive fewer than 40 hours of training. Forty-seven DICs and 20 colleges are affiliated with ASHP approved residency programs. The amount of drug information exposure each resident obtains was highly variable.

The economic optimal size nursing home was found to be in the range of 45-55 beds for a sample of proprietary New South Wales homes in 1978-9 where average weekly expenditure per bed was minimised. However, this did not take into account a number of other important social and environmental factors as well as costs of travel and the quality of care provided or the characteristics of patients. When these factors are considered, evidence suggests that larger than average homes have the economic advantage. Smaller adapted residences, or those incorporating group living design, may be more homelike for residents but at slightly higher cost. Thus there is unlikely to be one single optimal size of home but rather a range.

Data on the incidence of Paranoid Disorders according to modified DSM-III criteria in an outpatient geriatric clinic are presented. Results are consistent with previous research data which find paranoid symptomatology to be common in elderly psychiatric patients. The current definition of paranoid disorders is too narrow to encompass those elderly with good premorbid adjustment whose later life paranoid disorders often include hallucinations. The DSM-III paranoid subtype system does not have a separate category for chronic paranoid symptomatology which, although commonly seen in the old, is now subsumed under an atypical paranoid disorder classification.

It has been argued that many elderly people are placed in nursing homes to isolate them from view, and little research has been done to investigate the effects of such isolation. Some research has focused on certain aspects of abuse and neglect of the elderly, particularly physical, material, and fiscal aspects of abuse. The purpose of this paper is to discuss psychological aspects of abuse and neglect of the elderly in the nursing home environment. Data are presented indicating that psychological aspects of neglect are subtle and not readily apparent to the observer; yet they may be very impactful in terms of their effects. Data also are presented indicating that they constitute the most common form of abuse. Psychological aspects of neglect are divided into categories including: the nature of the physical environment; nutrition and diet; physical appearance and grooming; infantilization; environmental deprivation; and benign neglect. Possible interventions are offered as alternatives to neglect, and research data are summarized as to how such interventions might benefit both the elderly and the clinical staff dealing with such a population.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267683"} {"pmid": "10267686", "title": "Pay for performance: accent on standards and measures.", "content": "Pay for performance: accent on standards and measures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267686"} {"pmid": "10267685", "title": "Psychodrama: a therapeutic modality for the elderly in nursing homes.", "content": "Psychodrama: a therapeutic modality for the elderly in nursing homes.

The authors conducted a psychodrama group with elderly psychiatric patients in a nursing home and found it to be an effective treatment modality. It proved especially useful in the alleviation of depression by allowing members to \"relive\" and grieve for unresolved losses and express repressed feelings of anger, abandonment, and fear. The psychodrama techniques also encouraged spontaneity and creativity and facilitated the life review process.

In today's environment, health care facilities need to expend more resources in developing comprehensive and coordinated health care systems that provide, preferably on one site, ambulatory and acute care, long-term care, mental health, physical medicine and rehabilitation, home health, wellness centers, and an integrated prepayment plan as a joint venture with the institution's medical staff. The wave of the future (the next several years) will be toward vertical diversification because of increased price competition for a broad range of services, an industry with a surplus of acute care beds, and an interest by existing multihospital systems in improving their present positions by diversification rather than growth for growth's sake.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267764"} {"pmid": "10267765", "title": "Operating theatres.

Although the problems of managing materials in a health care institution are formidable, these problems increase when the institution is part of a multi-facility system. There are many issues of organization, standardization, centralization (or decentralization) of authority, reporting, and monitoring faced by the multi-facility system, which are not issues relevant to the single institution. The state of New York operates a centralized supply purchasing, warehousing, and distribution system through its Office of General Services. This system serves a number of state organizations, including the focus of this report, the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD), which is responsible for 20 residential facilities as well as day programs and community residences. Faced with the recognition that the cost of supplies (\"commodities\" in the official nomenclature) was becoming a significant and vulnerable part of the operating budget, OMRDD engaged Friesen International, Inc. to assist in analyzing and improving its commodity distribution system, with the object of holding the line on operating costs. This article describes the methods and results of the ensuing study, which began as a review of the procedures in place, and ended with on-site assistance in implementing changes at each of the component facilities. Neither HPM nor the authors suggest that any other system could, or should, proceed in exactly the same manner; however, apart from the specific information about particular commodities which can be gleaned from this report, there may be value for others in seeing how the task proceeded, and the authors' self-critical analysis of how well the employed methods worked.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267818"} {"pmid": "10267819", "title": "Deciding who will not be treated--a difficult issue that may lie ahead.", "content": "Deciding who will not be treated--a difficult issue that may lie ahead.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267819"} {"pmid": "10267820", "title": "Business: getting tough in Arizona.", "content": "Business: getting tough in Arizona.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267820"} {"pmid": "10267821", "title": "Government: corporations will be the biggest influence for change.", "content": "Government: corporations will be the biggest influence for change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267821"} {"pmid": "10267823", "title": "Who wil control health care: seven trends that may determine the future.", "content": "Who wil control health care: seven trends that may determine the future.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267823"} {"pmid": "10267822", "title": "Successful global competition depends, in part, on managing health costs.", "content": "Successful global competition depends, in part, on managing health costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267822"} {"pmid": "10267824", "title": "Willingness to make health decisions associated with socio-economic factors.", "content": "Willingness to make health decisions associated with socio-economic factors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267824"} {"pmid": "10267825", "title": "Consumer's increasing price sensitivity is key variable.", "content": "Consumer's increasing price sensitivity is key variable.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267825"} {"pmid": "10267827", "title": "Agencies should market \"preferred referrals\".", "content": "Agencies should market \"preferred referrals\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267827"} {"pmid": "10267826", "title": "Hospitals group to provide care, income immaterial.", "content": "Hospitals group to provide care, income immaterial.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267826"} {"pmid": "10267828", "title": "An interview with: Ron Hawthorne.", "content": "An interview with: Ron Hawthorne.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267828"} {"pmid": "10267829", "title": "How to shrink linen losses: an update.", "content": "How to shrink linen losses: an update.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267829"} {"pmid": "10267830", "title": "Selecting and retaining a security consultant.", "content": "Selecting and retaining a security consultant.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267830"} {"pmid": "10267831", "title": "An interview with: Richard Fisher.", "content": "An interview with: Richard Fisher.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267831"} {"pmid": "10267832", "title": "Upgrading liaison with law enforcement.", "content": "Upgrading liaison with law enforcement.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267832"} {"pmid": "10267833", "title": "An interview with: George (Pat) Morse, JD, CPP, and Robert F.

The effects of different modalities of medication discharge counseling on patients' medication knowledge were studied. Patients discharged from medical/surgical units in a community hospital were counseled utilizing one of three methods or received no counseling, according to their randomized study group assignment. The three types of discharge counseling studied were: (1) distributing written information and answering all patient questions, (2) verbal counseling performed by a pharmacist, or (3) verbal counseling performed by a pharmacist with distribution of written information. The control group received no counseling or written information. Patient information was collected, and the time and costs of the counseling were recorded. A questionnaire was sent to each patient 1 week after discharge from the hospital to determine a patient's knowledge of his/her medications. The questionnaires were scored by a pharmacist unaware of the type of counseling the patient had received. Upon completion of the scoring, the study data was collated and statistically analyzed. The results showed that medication discharge counseling conducted by a pharmacist does improve a patient's knowledge of his medications and that pharmacist intervention in medication teaching does improve the counseling results. Also, the study demonstrated that verbal counseling in combination with written information increased the patient's awareness of his medications the most, and was a financially feasible method.

Widespread interest in PPOs stems from the belief that they can contain costs while offering consumers a choice of physicians and hospitals. But there is little information available about the demand by employers to offer PPOs as a health plan option. This study gathered information on employers' attitudes toward PPOs through a survey of companies in the Minneapolis metropolitan area. Most of the surveyed firms were found to be self-insured and offered a choice of healthcare plans, including HMOs. Contrary to some previous studies, healthcare costs are a major concern by all of the firms. PPOs are viewed as one part of an overall strategy to reduce those costs while maintaining quality of care and convenient access to providers. Although somewhat skeptical about potential savings and concerned over the administrative costs of offering a new health plan, most of the firms indicated support for the PPO concept. The greatest market opportunity for PPOs is to offer the plan as an alternative within the company's existing indemnity plan, wherein employees who use the preferred providers are exempt from at least a portion of the coinsurance and deductible requirements.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267913"} {"pmid": "10267939", "title": "Industry notes.", "content": "Industry notes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267939"} {"pmid": "10267938", "title": "A respiratory therapy unit dose system in a 500-bed hospital.", "content": "A respiratory therapy unit dose system in a 500-bed hospital.

Therapeutic play activities are designed to help children verbalize their hospital experiences so they can cope with the trauma of hospitalization. The purpose of the study was to determine whether a music therapy session was more effective than a medical play therapy session in facilitating this verbalization. Forty school-aged subjects were randomly selected to receive an individual music therapy or play therapy session. The two groups were equated on the following variables: sex, age, socioeconomic status, length of present hospitalization, session interruptions, type of illness and related number of prior hospitalizations, and prior Child Life involvement. The last two variables were thought to influence verbalization. The dependent variable was comprised of each patient's response to four critical incidence questions about hospitalization. Content analysis was employed to code each response as a three-digit number with numbers increasing as the verbalization became more involved. The chi square statistic revealed that music therapy elicited significantly more involved verbalization about hospitalization than did the play therapy session for each of the seven variables. Verbalization was unrelated to the patient's diagnosis and prior hospitalizations.

Eleven elderly clients in a midwestern retirement center participated in an ABA experimental design to measure responses to player piano music. Cognitive, affective, and behavioral data were collected through observational and subjective interview tools. Results demonstrated marked increments of rhythmic and extremity responses to musical treatment. Additionally, player piano music was enjoyed and enhanced a state of well-being and youth, enabled retrieval of specific long-term memories, and provided \"action-oriented\" cognitive themes and stimulation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267964"} {"pmid": "10267965", "title": "Changes in business communications: innovative uses of new media and technologies.", "content": "Changes in business communications: innovative uses of new media and technologies.

The models are validated using expenditure data for 21 recent U.K. health building projects. Methods of least squares is used to estimate the parameters of the two models. These parameters are categorized according to the total cost of the projects. Both the models are shown to be of comparable accuracy for fitting actual expenditure data. The DHSS model has a major advantage of simplicity of form and use, although the slightly greater mathematical complexity of the Keller-Singh model is off-set by the readily interpretable nature of its form and basic parameters. It is concluded that both or either of the models could be used by clients/contractors for effective planning and control of project costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10267991"} {"pmid": "10267989", "title": "The health care environment.

Good nutrition during pregnancy, breast feeding, and avoiding early introduction of solid foods are advocated to avoid obesity during infancy. For the young child, healthy eating habits and sufficient physical exercise are prescribed to prevent the accumulation of excess weight. Psychological and social difficulties make weight loss difficult for obese adolescents. The advantages and disadvantages of diet, anorectic drugs, exercise, and behavior modification are discussed. Adult-onset obesity is often easier to prevent and treat than is juvenile-onset obesity. Intervention is basically the same as that for adolescents. The role of health professionals is clear: encouragement of behavior consistent with sound nutrition and good health before excess weight is gained, early recognition of overweight individuals, and assistance in the choice of corrective measures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268099"} {"pmid": "10268100", "title": "Perceptions of educational needs for patients after myocardial infarction.", "content": "Perceptions of educational needs for patients after myocardial infarction.

Following are excerpts from an executive summary of \"Aging and Health Promotion: Market Research for Public Education,\" a report of a research study that involved 15 focus groups of persons aged 58 and over, as well as a review of data on the media habits and the demographic characteristics of older Americans. The study, which was undertaken to serve as the basis for recommendations for national action, also offers insights that should be useful to program planners interested in meeting the needs and capturing the interest of older persons.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268105"} {"pmid": "10268120", "title": "A child psychiatrist's observations on care of the mentally ill in the People's Republic of China.", "content": "A child psychiatrist's observations on care of the mentally ill in the People's Republic of China. In April, 1983, I was a member of a delegation from the American Academy of Child Psychiatry invited by the People's Republic of China to visit colleagues and study facilities in the Chinese nation. I toured six cities and visited a considerable number of hospital facilities, schools, and other special settings for youth.

The legal concept of malpractice is rooted in the issue of negligence. Liability and duty are related matters which bear on the doctor-patient relationship. The quality of the doctor-patient relationship appears to be the crucial factor related to the emergence of malpractice claims in general medicine and surgery and also in psychiatry. Two methods for assessing negligence are described and their limitations discussed. An alternative concept of a \"malpractice threshold\" is proposed. This threshold is derived from the arithmetic product of two variables (risk and doctor-patient rapport) which, when exceeded, triggers a patient response in the form of a lawsuit. Brief clinical examples are provided. Review of a large number of psychiatric malpractice cases may permit quantification of these variables. The identification and study of such factors is a rational step toward the prevention of incidents which may give rise to claims of malpractice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268121"} {"pmid": "10268123", "title": "When and when not to join a PPO.", "content": "When and when not to join a PPO.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268123"} {"pmid": "10268124", "title": "Health-care association adopts new name, image.", "content": "Health-care association adopts new name, image.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268124"} {"pmid": "10268122", "title": "Construction regulations: new approach required.", "content": "Construction regulations: new approach required.

While freestanding facilities have grown in number, a greater degree of growth in beds has occurred in the medical/surgical environment where psychiatric patient units have been developed or have been converted from other purposes. In regulating these different types of psychiatric facilities, most states have adapted regulations from those developed by the Department of Health Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Services) that apply to medical/surgical hospitals. The result is often a situation where important distinctions between patient populations are ignored or patient needs are overlooked. Some more progressive states have developed regulations that are independent of HHS' requirements.

Clearly, the hospital or system with sound financial management will be better positioned to gain and/or maintain an edge in the competitive environment of the health care sector. The trends of the future include hospitals attempting to: Maximize the efficiency of invested capital. Use the expertise of Board members. Use alternative capital sources. Maximize rate of return on investments. Increase productivity. Adjust to changes in reimbursements. Restructure to use optimal financing for capital needs, i.e., using short-term to build up debt capacity if long-term financing is needed in the future. Take advantage of arbitrage (obtain capital and reinvest it until the funds are needed). Delay actual underwriting until funds are to be used. Better management of accounts receivable and accounts payable to avoid short-term financing for cash flow shortfalls. Use for-profit subsidiaries to obtain venture capital by issuing stock. Use product line management. Use leasing to obtain balance sheet advantages. These trends indicate a need for hospital executives to possess a thorough understanding of the capital formation process.

The Department proposes to modify its regulations governing the maximum mortgage principal amount that it will insure for a new or rehabilitated hospital. Under its existing regulations, the Department can insure a mortgage in any amount that does not exceed 90 percent of HUD's estimate of the replacement cost of the hospital (including major movable equipment). Under the proposal, however, the loan to replacement cost ratio would vary for insured mortgages on projects where the replacement cost exceeds 100 million dollars. In essence, the mortgagor's equity requirements would be required to increase as the principal obligation sought to be insured increased. This proposal is intended to (a) mitigate the possibility of large-scale defaults in future years; (b) ensure the long-term adequacy of the Department's insurance fund, and (c) avoid undue concentration of insurance commitments in a relatively small number of projects.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268214"} {"pmid": "10268213", "title": "Health maintenance organizations; basic health services; exclusion of in vitro fertilization--HRSA.

Unemployment and health are seen to be difficult terms to define and both are seen to contain subjective elements. Micro and macro models are discussed as both have strengths and weaknesses. Most micro models trace the experience of small groups of individuals usually selected either because they are unemployed and/or are ill. Thus the results cannot be acceptably generalized to the population at large. Macro time series are concerned with a measure of the interaction of unemployment and health at the aggregate national level. In macro models the precise link between the unemployment experience of an individual and the health experience of the same individual is lost in favour of the association of a measure of aggregate unemployment with a measure of aggregate health status. Both model types are liable to error in describing what is happening at the national level. Panel data macro models are likely to be most accurate as they answer most of the criticisms mentioned above, but such data are scarce and expensive to collect.

The hospital's duty is to intervene, and the court's responsibility is to allow such intervention. The most compassionate way in which the hospital can help is to force-feed the patient. If a patient is mentally competent, the refusal to eat is morally wrong. The patient is morally not permitted to commit suicide, though the avoidance of treatment may be justified in cases when force-feeding would be considered an extraordinary means, because of the patient's age or physical condition, for example. If a patient is incompetent, the refusal to eat is not a fully rational act; for the hospital to refrain from force-feeding would not be considered cooperation in suicide, since the incompetent patient cannot commit suicide.

The idea of involvement in social justice issues transcends the traditional responsibilities of most institutional ethics committees (IECs). Yet precedents for such an advocacy role exist in several areas: the development of regulations that protect handicapped newborns from discriminatory decisions of nontreatment and the institutional committees that review research protocols or formulate \"do not resuscitate\" policies. The need for IECs to take up social justice issues is based in the concepts of autonomy--the capacity for freedom of choice--and relationality--the capacity to known and to love. All the human ethical questions of freedom, well-being, and justice emerge in the health care setting, where the concepts of autonomy and relationality are intently focused on and sometimes threatened. If a health care institution is to address such questions as affirmative action policies in financing and purchasing, the just pricing of medical care, the ethics of treatment decisions, and the right to medical care, it needs a forum in which to deliberate, collaborate, and discern responsible corporate moral action. For example, an ethics committee can: Call for correction of problems of sexism, racism, and classism in health care institutions; Address government regulations in a way that enables a better understanding of professional commitments; and Lead facilities to discover ways to network with others to meet the needs of the populations they serve. Above all, IECs can help health care professionals find a new \"hermeneutic\" for interpreting the health care mission to allow them greater power to respond to the dignity and the needs of human persons.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268330"} {"pmid": "10268331", "title": "A stewardship challenge: reconciling faith and finances.", "content": "A stewardship challenge: reconciling faith and finances. As financial constraints have tightened in recent years, Catholic health care facilities have undergone the double pressure of having to safeguard the integrity of their Christian mission while maintaining economic viability. The conflict between faith and finances, however, represents a tension that has been felt since Biblical times. The dichotomy between ministry and money can be traced from Scripture's admonition that money is the root of all evil, through the Manichean heresy of the early Church, right up to the conflict that today's sponsoring congregations experience in seeking to reconcile multimillion-dollar budgets with their efforts to maintain a simple life-style and raise the existence level of the poor. Mission integrity and fiscal viability are not irreconcilable, however. Effective management can advance, not impede, the mission's cause. Sound business decisions need not exclude social or mission values. Indeed, ministry and management are united in the Gospel message of stewardship. The Gospel itself abounds in management lessons, perhaps the clearest of which is the parable of the talents, in which we are told to manage our gifts wisely so that they are actually increased and not just maintained. Numerous contemporary Church documents also suggest that the multimillion-dollar services that we have inherited and developed must continue to be managed well so that their yield, ministerial and financial, is increased. To resolve much of the misunderstanding within sponsorship groups and health care facilities, an action agenda is needed: The nature of work must be given prayerful reflection, so that it can be understood as a sharing in the creative act of God and as a part of each person's spirituality. Moreover, an institution should be viewed and managed as a positive power base and educational center for developing and advancing positions consistent with the Gospel. Institutional policies and procedures, of course, should be made to reflect this new understanding of the management-ministry relationship. Considerations of ministry, economy, and quality should be included in mission statements and philosophies, and financial officers and mission personnel should be challenged to integrate fiscal viability with mission integrity. Finally, a model for ethical decision making should be developed and adopted so that both orientations--ministry and management--are harmoniously balanced in the institution's decisions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268331"} {"pmid": "10268332", "title": "Pastoral care personnel have prophetic role.", "content": "Pastoral care personnel have prophetic role. Pastoral care ministers must look to the prophet's role in the Old and New Testaments to establish their own prophetic mission in health care facilities. After evaluating whether their own department acts justly, competently, and compassionately, pastoral care givers must hold themselves accountable to the signs of authentic prophecy: being motivated by love, being critical to promote constructive change, and being willing to confront others' resistance. Then the pastoral care team can begin collaborating with peers to provide a more healing environment for all staff and patients. This can be done by being available to help staff with problems, influencing policymaking, and using ministerial skills when giving sacramental care to patients. Pastoral care persons can link the facility to the outside community by finding ways to reach the needy and to address residents' unmet health needs. Eventually the pastoral care staff and their peers can work toward an active response to social justice. The challenge of being prophets requires pastoral care personnel to confront problems courageously and take advocacy positions while always showing compassion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268332"} {"pmid": "10268333", "title": "Marketing by managing relationships.", "content": "Marketing by managing relationships. As competition increases and funding tightens, hospitals will have to realize that marketing largely is the managing of relationships--relationships between health care consumers and the provider. Prospective payment will make a hospital's fiscal viability increasingly sensitive to volume; stable profitability will depend on a steady level of patient utilization. And to ensure stable utilization, the hospital must create a base of loyal patients. Four marketing strategies can help to build this client base: 1. Create a strong care of essential services focused on the most significant customer needs. 2. Customize relationships by tailoring specific services to specific market segments' special needs. 3. Augment the basic service by offering extras and amenities. 4. Offer price incentives for people to become loyal customers. At least four types of patient loyalty exist, and a hospital should concentrate on fostering one or more types among its patients. Service loyalty occurs when a person always goes to the same provider for the same service. Provider loyalty exists when a person seeks a diversity of related services from the same provider. Family loyalty occurs when an entire family uses a particular provider. Organizational loyalty exists when an entire organization is oriented--through a contract or preferred provider arrangement, for example--toward a specific provider.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268333"} {"pmid": "10268334", "title": "Malpractice bill stirs discussion, raises moral questions.", "content": "Malpractice bill stirs discussion, raises moral questions. Catholic health care providers should raise a number of ethical considerations in the debate surrounding the Moore-Gephardt bill, which would establish an alternative malpractice liability system. The proposal encourages states to enact legislation under which providers and patients would reach settlements that compensate for economic losses resulting from negligent treatment. In states that do not enact such laws, HR 5400 would apply to federal program patients only. Under the proposal, if a health care provider who is potentially liable for malpractice offers to compensate for the patient's actual economic loss, the patient would be forever barred from bringing a malpractice suit against the provider. The recovery would be limited to the individual's net economic loss. Though the bill's sponsors have performed a considerable service in identifying a major problem and generating public discussion, the bill raises several important moral questions. How much \"defensive medicine,\" for example, is actually prudent practice that is in patients' best interests? Will thorough and holistic care be sacrificed in the proposal's attempt to save money? If states do not enact an alternative liability system for all patients and the proposal affects only federal program patients, will the result be disproportionate treatment among categories of patients? And is it fair to deny persons recovery for their emotional distress, physical impairment, pain and suffering, and similar kinds of damages?

Created in 1930 to coordinate all government activities concerning veterans, the VA provides health care to veterans who have service-related illnesses and injuries or those who are unable to obtain care through the usual channels. For a look at how the management of medical supplies at an individual VA hospital fits into the entire VA system, the Journal visited the Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Hospital. The largest hospital in San Antonio's South Texas Medical complex with nearly 700 beds, Audie Murphy Hospital provides a full range of inpatient, ambulatory and rehabilitation services to veterans. The hospital is the core of an extensive outpatient network that accounts for more than 180,000 outpatient visits per year.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268357"} {"pmid": "10268362", "title": "Code blue.", "content": "Code blue.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268362"} {"pmid": "10268360", "title": "Bar codes & optical scanning systems.", "content": "Bar codes & optical scanning systems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268360"} {"pmid": "10268361", "title": "Care & handling of surgical instruments.", "content": "Care & handling of surgical instruments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268361"} {"pmid": "10268363", "title": "Are we reacting or planning?", "content": "Are we reacting or planning?

This study demonstrates that anti-smoking publicity in the mass media in Switzerland has had a substantial permanent impact on cigarette consumption. Extended publicity, following the 1964 U.S. Surgeon General's Report, accompanying various tax increases, and preceding a public vote on an advertising ban for tobacco products, decreased consumption permanently by 11%. In addition, publicity had important indirect effects which are reflected in smokers' strong reactions to nominal cigarette price increases. Estimated nominal cigarette price elasticity is -1.0; by contrast, real cigarette prices failed to be significant. Thus, publicity in the mass media provides a powerful tool for deterring cigarette consumption.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268368"} {"pmid": "10268369", "title": "Economic determinants and consequences of self-reported work disability.", "content": "Economic determinants and consequences of self-reported work disability. This paper examines the determinants of and behavioral responses to self-reported work disability in samples of older men and women stratified by race. Strong support is found for the hypothesis that economic factors as well as poor health influence the probability that individuals report health conditions limit the amount or kind of work they do. In particular, lower expected wage rates significantly raise the probability of reporting work disablement, controlling for health status and health-related job requirements. The empirical analysis also shows that only a part of the reduced labor supply of disabled individuals is attributable to health conditions. The policy and methodological implications of these findings are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268369"} {"pmid": "10268370", "title": "Physician treatment decisions in a multiple treatment model.

This paper develops a neoclassical utility maximization model of physician behavior in which the physician determines the price of physician office and hospital visits, the utilization rates for physician office and hospital visits and hospital days, and the resources and physician time inputs in the production of visits. The model assumes that the physician acts as a perfect agent for the patient. The analysis traces substitutions between physician office visits, physician hospital visits, and hospital days in response to changes in physician supply. The analysis also traces physician supply induced changes in the input mix used to produce visits. The substitution effects of physician supply are then used to reinterpret previous statistical estimates of the physician supply elasticities of per capita utilization of physician office visits and hospital days, length of visit, waiting time, and physician workloads.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268370"} {"pmid": "10268371", "title": "The effect of labelling on illness related absenteeism.

Moreover, this effect exists even when no objective medical reasons justify such immediate increases in absenteeism.

The effectiveness of the policies adopted by the UK government is difficult to assess, although there has been a reduction over the last ten years in the proportion of smokers in the population. However, evidence from other countries shows that a more comprehensive programme including direct legislation controlling tobacco advertising has a much stronger impact on tobacco consumption.

The findings suggest blacks' demand (and therefore health status) may decrease with equality of opportunity because of lack of coordination in social programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268445"} {"pmid": "10268446", "title": "Pet therapy with terminal cancer patients.", "content": "Pet therapy with terminal cancer patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268446"} {"pmid": "10268438", "title": "Program evaluation as a method of assessing the quality of care in physiotherapy.", "content": "Program evaluation as a method of assessing the quality of care in physiotherapy.

Finally it proposes the use of a comprehensive program evaluation to assess the quality of care in a physiotherapy program for stroke patients. Four steps in the use of this model are outlined: assessment of needs; formulation of program goals; definition of program and design of evaluation; and assessment of process and outcome.

The starting medical advances of this century have created unparalleled opportunities for ill and suffering people, but these same forces have combined to make the experience of dying a terrifying, fearful, lonely vigil for many. Devoid of traditional myths, rituals, and family support, many patients now die in sterile institutional settings often appearing as mere appendages to life-supporting machines. This shift from the moral to the technical order manifests itself in doctors' fascination with gadgets, the emphasis upon parts of the body, and a concomitant blurring of distinctions concerning death, personhood, and individual rights. The patient is reduced to a secondary role in his or her own death, thus engendering a widespread desire for a sudden death. In light of these circumstances, health care personnel need to create circumstances that would give people more opportunities to die in styles commensurate with their life styles. Society must seriously study the implications of the unthinking treatment of people; and routines, policies, and procedures based on matters of mere efficiency and technological convenience must be replaced by those human and humane ceremonies, attitudes, and policies that must assure that technology's magnificent achievements do not obscure the human need for individuality and spiritual growth even during the dying process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268540"} {"pmid": "10268539", "title": "Experiences with home hospice care: determinants of place of death.", "content": "Experiences with home hospice care: determinants of place of death. During the past few years the United States has witnessed the growth of hospice care as an alternative approach for the care of the terminally ill. This paper examines a sample of patients who elected to enroll in a home hospice program. Approximately 57 percent of these patients remained at home until death. The other 43 percent chose to return to a facility where they eventually died. Evidence indicates that patients and caregivers who have more difficulty with terminal care at home are more likely to return to a facility. The analysis explores factors that explain why some patients and caregivers have a more troublesome experience with terminal care at home. Four of the factors tested are found to be related to place of death: (1) the number of visits from hospice nurses, (2) the intensity of contact with the hospice nurses, (3) length of time patients are enrolled in the hospice program, and (4) race of the patient. The implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations for delivery of hospice services are suggested.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268539"} {"pmid": "10268541", "title": "Special needs of the deaf dying patient.", "content": "Special needs of the deaf dying patient.

Individual case reports about suspected adverse drug reactions are an important source of drug safety data. Their evaluation involves, among other things, the assessment of causality. Usually it is done by expert medical evaluators according to their knowledge and experience. Subjectivity plays a big role as demonstrated by comparison of assessments of the same cases by several evaluators or by the same evaluator at a later date. In recent years, methods of causality assessment based on algorithms were introduced. In these formal approaches, items of information contribute to the assessment in a predetermined and standardized way with a logic that allows operational application. Results obtained with different methods may differ because items of information considered may not be the same and/or strength of evidence attached to them vary from one method to another. The main advantages of standardized assessment are: clear identification of items of information involved, improved communication, reproducibility of results, and the checklist function. Various implications of standardized assessment are discussed and ways to improve their performance outlined.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268551"} {"pmid": "10268537", "title": "Discharge planning models.

The assessment of causality in drug-event associations depends on the setting and purpose of such an assessment. Epidemiologists are primarily interested in population-based inferences about whether a given drug can cause a certain adverse drug reaction (ADR), and if so, how often it does so. Pharmaceutical industries and regulatory agencies are also concerned with population-based risks, but in addition must worry about individual cases. Clinicians are primarily interested in the individual, ie, whether a given drug did cause a certain adverse event in a particular patient. The authors describe an algorithm that provides specific, detailed criteria for ranking the probability that an observed untoward clinical manifestation was caused by a given drug. The criteria are subdivided into six axes of decision strategy with a built-in scoring system that ordinally ranks the probability of an adverse drug reaction as definite, probable, possible, or unlikely. To illustrate the use of the algorithm, the authors assess a reference case of pancreatitis occurring after administration of methyldopa.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268557"} {"pmid": "10268558", "title": "An ethical perspective on investor-owned medical care corporations.", "content": "An ethical perspective on investor-owned medical care corporations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268558"} {"pmid": "10268559", "title": "Doing well by doing good: investor-owned hospitals.

American industry, the major purchaser of medical services, is beginning to use its buying power to intervene in the healthcare system. Management committees hav been established to develop cost analysis and containment approaches to the utilization of medical services. With innovations by corporate industry, does the hospital CEO see an advocate or yet another adversary in addition to government regulation? Specifically, what preparation do master's degree graduates have, prior to their subsequent job experience, to make an informed contribution in financial decision making? Research was conducted to obtain data from health administration graduate programs in the United States and Canada to help find answers to these questions. This study addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the two major inputs to health financial management education--the proper mix and delivery of course presentations, and the student's motivation, maturity, and academic background. In some respects, both have been found wanting--not only from the findings of this investigation, but also by the AUPHA Task Force on Financial Management in the curriculum. About one-fourth of the entrants to master's degree programs have a business school background which includes courses in accounting, economics, and finance. However, the remaining 75% have other academic backgrounds, which suggests that teaching financially oriented courses to these graduate students is a major problem. The question of whether a health administration graduate with some finance training or a pure finance graduate is more desirable remains unanswered. This is especially true in meshing the immediate needs of the healthcare marketplace for financial management personnel and the long-range career goals of the graduate.

Burnaby Hospital recently implemented a computerized Food Management System. The system is fully operational in the Extended Care Unit (ECU) and now is being introduced in the Acute Care Unit (ACU). The main goals for the new program were: cost savings, more effective use of foodservice employee time and skills, and better patient care. To date, the total time saved by use of the computerized system has been equivalent to one full time employee. The ECU dietitian's and the dietary technician's duties have been upgraded. The technician has been relieved of clerical tasks and has taken over some responsibilities formerly performed by the dietitian; the dietitian is able to perform more administrative and planning tasks; and the former ECU coordinator is manager of patient services and responsible for coordinating changes in the computer system. Research indicates that this system, designed and developed for Burnaby Hospital by Rick Hepting & Associates and running on an MAI Basic Four min computer, model 210, is unique among North American hospitals. Current applications include manipulation of patient diet information for automatic menu processing, food tallying, and production of nourishment labels. Future enhancements will take care of production reporting, standard recipe printouts, food cost analysis, and nutrient analysis. The system has valuable potential for use in other hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268684"} {"pmid": "10268686", "title": "Dietetics in Australia and New Zealand, May 1983: expanding professional horizons.", "content": "Dietetics in Australia and New Zealand, May 1983: expanding professional horizons.

The types of nutrition information and learning activities needed for the mentally handicapped were determined through a literature review and a series of interviews with those working with this target group. The nutritional concerns of mentally handicapped adults include food selection to meet their nutritional needs, menu planning, food preparation, weight control, and nutrient-drug interactions. A Nutrition Resource Kit for Leaders Working with Mentally Handicapped Adults has been developed in The Regional Municipality of York in response to local demand for nutrition education programs and resources for mentally handicapped adults. The kit provides those working with mentally handicapped adults with background nutrition information, learning activities, resource materials, and references to additional resources. The topic areas covered include basic nutrition, nutritional concerns of mentally handicapped adults, nutrient-drug interactions, menu planning, shopping strategies, and food preparation.

Health care managers can learn to adjust to competition by observing companies in other deregulated industries. Six basic strategies will separate the winners from the losers: Increase market share. This strategy requires not only increasing the share of current markets but also introducing new products and services into new markets. Scrutinize operations. Managers must be knowledgeable about strategic planning, adept at product line analysis, and skillful in using management information systems. Prune where necessary. Operations must be periodically reviewed to assess whether programs, products, and services continue to be profitable. Increase productivity. Productivity in this labor-intensive industry is essential. Wages may have to be reduced and staffing levels changed in the future to permit better control of labor costs. Increasing the volume of service, investing in nonclinical technology, and encouraging employee ideas also should be considered in seeking higher productivity. Strengthen the balance sheet. Hospitals should avoid incurring both long- and short-term debt, and they should attempt to accelerate repayment of long-term debt. Not-for-profit hospitals should investigate joint ventures, which spread the financial risk among investors, as means to raise capital to expand their operations. Increase cash. Prudent organizations will establish reserve funds, adopt fund-raising programs, and initiate improved cash collection systems. Health care executives also should reflect on how deregulation may affect their employees, the poor, and access to sophisticated medical procedures. The successful health care organization eventually will position itself in line not only with its markets but also with its mission and values.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268691"} {"pmid": "10268692", "title": "Competition presents opportunity for not-for-profit systems.", "content": "Competition presents opportunity for not-for-profit systems. Though they face similar challenges in adapting to a competitive environment, investor-owned and not-for-profit (NFP) health care systems react differently. The investor-owned strategy reflects a philosophy that regards patient care and economics with equal concern, while NFPs' management decisions are rooted in a tradition of community service. For-profit chains are perceived as more efficient than NFP chains because they respond to marketplace demand. Studies, however, show that while operating expenses are about the same, for-profits charge more per admission. On the other hand, NFP systems, by allowing affiliates to participate in service expansion decisions, are able to maintain lean corporate staffs and thereby minimize administrative and fiscal costs. The NFP organizational structure enforces economic discipline in a way that for-profit chains--where corporate staff alone make service decisions--cannot achieve. The major difference, of course, between for-profits and NFPs is in philosophy, not in management techniques. NFPs should communicate to the public their commitment to serve all patients and remind consumers that their charges are comparable with for-profits'. Developing a capitation plan would provide NFP systems another opportunity to emphasize their service orientation. An effective capitation plan is a means to influence the marketplace toward chain affiliates, since subscribers under the terms of the plan use contract hospitals and physicians. In addition to sufficient capital, such a venture requires expert management. NFP systems will have to offer incentives such as executive stock ownership plans to attract and keep top talent. In the future, management and governing boards must base strategic plans on the public's needs, attitudes, and economic status, not on myths about the competition.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268692"} {"pmid": "10268693", "title": "Personalized care helps facilities compete.", "content": "Personalized care helps facilities compete.

A myth of trusteeship--that governance is the central role of board members--has been difficult for trustees to put into practice. The process of initiating new trustees implicitly communicates a set of largely unspoken practices that do not fulfill the myth. In actual practice, trustees find themselves involved in management, rather than governance. Although regulatory bodies, the courts, or a constituent can clarify the job of governance, trustees must call one another to action to reshape their practice and refurbish the myth with credibility. Trustees generally are expected to ensure quality of service and performance standards through governance, although many question their competence to do so. Since a direct link exists between a board's ability to evaluate itself and its ability to evaluate others, members first must learn to evaluate themselves in an open, verifiable manner. Trustees also must take account of the cyclical emphasis society places on private interests versus public issues, noting shifts in the cycle to identify and define board responsibilities. Members should act not as representatives of a single group but keep in touch with as many constituencies as possible. Though models are being developed to evaluate board performance and to chart management/governance functions, the most effective change in practice will come from within boards--through members' study and reflection.

Acknowledging that suffering and healing are mysteries beyond complete understanding, the letter illuminates the connection between caring for one's own health, helping the sick, and following Christ. The letter's first major section reviews suffering and healing as presented in the Bible, and asserts that the act of healing should help to restore not only the body but also the sufferer's relationship with God and with the community. The letter's second section surveys the history of the healing tradition within the Church and notes that, because the great healers often suffered themselves, their example can help people to integrate suffering into their own quest for wholeness and spiritual growth. In the pastoral's third section the bishops suggest attitudes and practices for those who wish to be healers today. They apply theological teaching to five practical levels of pastoral concern: individual actions, parish communities, Catholic and other health care institutions, and the social, economic, and political community.

The committee recommended as a first step in establishing an ethics committee the creation of a study group. It warned hospitals not to expect a fully operational ethics committee immediately. A start-up period, according to the committee, should be used to develop a process for handling ethical questions and for educating the hospital community about the committee's role. To promote the best possible decision making, the hospital ethics committee should function as a support unit, for physicians as well as for patients, families, and hospital personnel. Clearly stated policies will provide a basis for appropriate intervention and help gain physician cooperation, the committee said. Such policies should encourage ethics committees to anticipate problems and to review decisions already made. While recognizing the need to involve patients' families in decision making, the advisory group agreed that the question of their presence at committee meetings should be addressed by each institution. In cases of controversial treatment or disagreement about the course of treatment, patient/family access to the committee should be clearly defined.

The North Shore Community Mental Health Center has an unusual mental health delivery system. \"Out-stationed\" staff work in affiliated agencies, yet are employees of the NSCMHC. This service configuration is the result of an arduous planning process which weighed the advantages of several organizational models. On one extreme was a \"Centralized\" model, wherein one organization was solely responsible for delivering mental health services. On the other extreme was an \"Umbrella\" model, wherein the organization acted as a fiscal conduit to several service providers. Somewhere in the middle a compromise was found with a \"Lead Agency\" model. Here, an organization provides the administrative structure, provides some services, and subcontracts the remaining services. The North Shore Community Mental Health Center adapted this system one step further. Rather than subcontracting services, it outstationed CMHC staff to affiliate agencies. United Cerebral Palsy Association of the North Shore is one of the CMHC's affiliates. The service need for family and play therapists resulted in two CMHC therapists being outstationed at UCP. The affiliation agreement between the two organizations specify the responsibilities and roles each have. The hiring process between the two organizations is an example of the duality of the system. Both agencies had interviewing roles, yet the final hiring decision was the affiliate's, since the employee would spend the majority of his/her time outstationed at the affiliate side. Outstationed staff integration to the North Shore Community Mental Health Center presented problems, however. Since these were new staff hired with federal funds, and since their visibility at the Center was minimal, they had some difficulty being identified as Center staff by existing employees.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268752"} {"pmid": "10268750", "title": "Development of an administrative externship in an institution for developmentally disabled.", "content": "Development of an administrative externship in an institution for developmentally disabled.

The sample for this study consisted of 292 college students randomly assigned to one of two groups and exposed to: a facilitator-conducted program using modeling plus rehearsal (treatment group); or pamphlets addressing breast cancer and BSE (comparison group). A posttest-only comparison-group design was used. At completion of the programs, subjects responded to knowledge and attitude inventories. Three months later, a questionnaire requesting information on BSE practice was mailed to all subjects. Performance on the knowledge inventory indicated no group differences (P = 0.05). However, there were significant differences between groups in practice frequency and in selected attitudes (P less than 0.05). At three-month follow-up, significantly more members of the treatment group indicated practicing BSE at least once since exposure to the educational program.

Students' accounts of their training were obtained by means of 40 informal interviews. On the basis of these accounts it is argued that the students learn neither the education nor the service segment's version of nursing, rather they learn to recognise when one version is appropriate and the other not and 'fit in' accordingly. The organisation of nurse training is based on a compromise between the two segments whereby the students move between clinical placements and the college of nursing; in this way both versions of nursing are enforceable on the students. The paper argues that nursing as an occupation, by its organisation and compromise solution to the training of its recruits, supports a transient approach to nursing work itself and so implicitly supports a lack of commitment to nursing as an occupation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268830"} {"pmid": "10268823", "title": "Intensive care in small hospitals.", "content": "Intensive care in small hospitals.

In this paper I demonstrate the way in which people's beliefs about the aetiology of their particular affliction (arthritis) need to be understood as part of a more comprehensive imaginative enterprise which I refer to as narrative reconstruction. The intrinsically teleological form of this enterprise means that identified 'causes' represent only putative efficient connexions between the disease and antecedent factors but also narrative reference points between the individual and society in an unfolding process which has become profoundly disrupted. Through the presentation of case material taken from lengthy interviews I illustrate the way in which my question to the subjects about the cause of their disease: 'Why do you think you got arthritis?' was translated by them into a narrative reconstruction of their changing relationship to the world in which they live and the genesis of illness within it.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268832"} {"pmid": "10268834", "title": "The primacy of standard antitrust analysis in health care.", "content": "The primacy of standard antitrust analysis in health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268834"} {"pmid": "10268833", "title": "Health-related economic costs of the Three-Mile Island accident.", "content": "Health-related economic costs of the Three-Mile Island accident. On March 1979, a nuclear power station at Three-Mile Island (TMI) near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, had a major breakdown. During the two-week period of the accident, about 150,000 residents were evacuated for reasons associated with safety and health. Many residents during and after the accident, regardless of whether they left or stayed, made mental and physical adjustments due to this accident. This paper is to estimate the economic costs incurred by individuals or communities as a result of a change in physical or mental health status and/or a change in health care services due to the TMI accident. The findings indicate that stress symptoms caused by the accident did affect the health-related behaviors of area residents. Of the costs examined, the economic costs of work days lost and physician visits are the largest cost items. There were some increases in consumption of alcohol, cigarettes, and tranquilizers immediately following the accident.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268833"} {"pmid": "10268835", "title": "Recovery of childrearing expenses in wrongful birth cases: a motivational analysis.", "content": "Recovery of childrearing expenses in wrongful birth cases: a motivational analysis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268835"} {"pmid": "10268820", "title": "A guide for laboratory safety inspections.", "content": "A guide for laboratory safety inspections.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268820"} {"pmid": "10268836", "title": "Information: public or private?", "content": "Information: public or private?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10268836"} {"pmid": "10268824", "title": "Transport of a ventilator-dependent patient from Los Angeles to Athens by commercial airline.", "content": "Transport of a ventilator-dependent patient from Los Angeles to Athens by commercial airline.

In this study an experimental nursing intervention, its impact on hypertensive patients' beliefs about their disease, efficacy of medications and diet, as well as blood pressure and weight are described. Among patients from the experimental group, the ability of selected pretest variables to predict clinical outcomes and changes in clinical health states was evaluated. The intervention was successful in lowering diastolic blood pressure and altering certain beliefs held by the patients. The pretest characteristics were not successful in explaining hypertensive patients' responses to the intervention. Explanations for this are pursued through remarks from the content analysis of the intervention protocol. From these observations, the original health belief model was revised.

Professor Samuelson casts a critical eye on the Final Report of the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works (CONTU) which recommended that copyright protection be extended to machine-readable versions of computer programs. CONTU appears to have misunderstood computer technology and misinterpreted copyright tradition in two significant respects. The Commission failed to take into account the historical importance of disclosure of the contents of protected works as a fundamental goal of both the copyright and patent laws. It also erroneously opined that the utilitarian character of a work was no bar to its copyrightability when both the statute and the case law make clear that utilitarian works are not copyrightable. Since computer programs in machine-readable forms do not disclose their contents and are inherently utilitarian, copyright protection for them is inappropriate. Congress acted on CONTU's recommendation without understanding the significance of these conceptual flaws.

The problem with this avoidance position is that sensitive issues such as sexuality, drug use, and death and dying are laden with spiritual implications, particularly when students are asked to make personal decisions regarding these issues. The present article suggests the use of Educational Imagery as a method for incorporating the spiritual dimension into the health lesson. When certain simple precautions are taken, the educational imagery technique applied to the spiritual dimension can be both useful in meeting educational objectives and in making the classroom exciting and interesting for the students. The reader is provided with a definition of the spiritual dimension, along with a complete description of Educational Imagery.

Service marketing is the engineering of satisfaction, and the key to success is to identify and influence potential customers' expectations and then to fulfill those expectations. Patient satisfaction largely determines both a program's revenues and expenditures and the effectiveness of care received by patients. A program's ability to satisfy patients rests upon three basic elements: research, design, and communication. Research should be on two levels. The first is basic market assessment and analysis, and should reveal overall market potential by focusing on consumers' expectations, unmet needs, and level of satisfaction. From this stage of research, the organization should be able to identify current programs that are secure and stable, those which have significant growth potential, those which are threatened by competition, and those which have little future. This research also should indicate the potential for new programs and for new markets for existing programs. The second level of research focuses on a specific program (whether current or proposed) and is the basis for program design. The organization can tailor the program to consumers' expectations in everything from services provided to price of parking and other amenities. Research also provides a basis for communications. Not only can communications influence a potential customer to try a provider, but also care providers can use communications during and after the service experience to reinforce what might have been a casual decision. Ideally, all communication that occurs between patients and providers should serve marketing as well as diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It can shape patients' expectations, reinforce satisfaction when those expectations have been fulfilled, and convey the provider's caring and concern.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269066"} {"pmid": "10269049", "title": "Industry notes.", "content": "Industry notes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269049"} {"pmid": "10269065", "title": "When values compete: ethics committees and consensus.", "content": "When values compete: ethics committees and consensus. When conflict arises between physicians's commitments to prolong life and to relieve suffering, health care providers must assess the purpose of medical practice. Concepts that must be clarified and translated into action are \"quality of life,\" \"relief of suffering,\" \"inevitable death,\" and \"normal care.\" A multidisciplinary ethics committee brings together individuals with varied backgrounds: those with philosophic or religious training, physicians, nurses, administrators, attorneys, and others. Consultation among these persons representing the intellectual cultures in the health care structure can benefit the quest for the \"right\" decision. In a similar way, an ad hoc coalition of representatives from various groups, including The Catholic Health Association, agreed on the language of an amendment to SB 1003, which mandates ethics committees to recommend guidelines for treating handicapped newborns. In addition to examining scientific issues (e.g., brain damage, permanent unconsciousness) and humanistic concerns (e.g., the guidance provided by religious beliefs, incompetent patients), the committee would on occasion sponsor a subcommittee to deal with a specific patient problem in which preservation of privacy precludes large-group discussion. Such a subcommittee could also approach a range of questions beyond the use of life-sustaining treatment, such as consultative practices and physician and hospital fees. To be effective in improving quality and appropriateness of health care, ethics committees must relentlessly deal in a frank manner with the problems of contemporary medical practice. They must not avoid contentious problems or protect hospitals and physicians rather than patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269065"} {"pmid": "10269067", "title": "Developing a PPO: challenges and benefits.", "content": "Developing a PPO: challenges and benefits. When deciding upon which kind of alternative delivery system to develop, Saint Vincent Charity Hospital and Health Center, Cleveland, selected the preferred provider organization (PPO) mode because of four basic advantages: (1) the health care consumer's freedom to choose providers; (2) effective cost containment; (3) coordination of services among allied providers; and (4) health promotion programs. More specifically, the Ohio Health Choice Plan (OHCP) benefits hospitals by assisting to maintain or increase market share, facilitating prompt claims payments, and improving financial mix. Physicians benefit not only because they receive prompt payment and are not a risk but also because the fee-for-service system is retained and their market shares can also be preserved or enhanced. Employers' advantages include savings through controlled utilization, positive employee relations, and improved management information. Employees' benefits include lower out-of-pocket costs and freedom of choice. As a full-service PPO, the organization provides benefits plans designed to meet each employer's needs as well as actuary services, claims screening and processing, benefits coordination, utilization control, management reporting, health promotion activities, and networking capabilities. Four major challenges do confront PPOs: 1. Start-up and operating costs can be significant; 2. The administrative skills required are different from those used in traditional health care systems; 3. The commitment in implementing and operating a PPO; and 4. All participating providers must genuinely accept the PPO. A PPO's success also can be measured in three ways: the development of a strong network; size of enrollment; and effectiveness in utilization control.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269067"} {"pmid": "10269034", "title": "Pain and plenty.

With the recent more celebrative attitude toward the sacraments comes the concern that people will not recognize the ceremonies' call to conversion and to the sharing in Christ's mystery--experiences that occur during life's crises, such as serious illness. The Anointing of the Sick permits the recipient to witness Christ's own suffering and thus is much more than a \"blessing\" for individuals. It is a rite that must be celebrated in the context of the community's total pastoral life as part of an overall program of care of the sick. This community attention to the sick encourages anointing as soon as serious sickness is apparent, when the recipient can enter the ceremony consciously. The sacrament can be fruitfully celebrated with unconscious persons, however. With friends and relatives present, the event can minister to the community as well as to the sick person. Sickness should not be too narrowly defined. Elderly, suicidal, or alcoholic persons who wish to relate their conditions with Christ's sufferings can benefit from this sacrament. The need for anointing is often greatest in the health care setting, where time may be lacking for proper catechesis or celebration. To remedy this, pastoral care personnel can prepare a brochure explaining to patients and families the facility's sacramental practice and can encourage family and staff members to be present at the rite. They can avoid administering the sacrament hurriedly. These actions focus on the purpose of the anointing: to provide an opportunity for people to join in a celebration of their faith.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269068"} {"pmid": "10269069", "title": "Communicating hospitals' concerns to legislators and the community.", "content": "Communicating hospitals' concerns to legislators and the community. The time is past when voluntary hospitals could afford to be uninformed and inactive in public affairs. As decisions in the public sector increasingly threaten not-for-profit institutions, Catholic hospitals particularly must pursue an action-oriented program of communication with legislators and the community. At Carney Hospital, Boston, an especially effective forum for the past eight years has been buffet dinners held on a quarterly basis with state and congressional legislators and representatives of the hospital's management team, board of trustees, associate board, and medical staff. These dinner meetings provide a singular opportunity for law-makers to learn hospitals' perspective on key issues such as the effect of tightened reimbursement on care of the poor. The dinners not only have enhanced relations with legislators but also raised the consciousness of the business community, consumers, and the general public. Frequent mailings to legislators and members of the board of trustees and the associate board also have beeN helpful. The associate board was formed to augment the expertise of the board to trustees and to increase lay participation in the hospital's affairs. Composed of 20 lay leaders representing a diversity of disciplines, the associate board provides a strong base for influencing public policy and community action. Moreover, the hospital's various constituencies--physicians, employees, volunteers, and auxilians-are recruited as appropriate to contact legislators, write letters to the editor, and give media interviews. Also important in the facility's public affairs efforts have been timely responses to requests for action from The Catholic Health Association, the American Hospital Association, and the state hospital association.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269069"} {"pmid": "10269072", "title": "Congregation's new ministry provides housing for poor.", "content": "Congregation's new ministry provides housing for poor.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269072"} {"pmid": "10269076", "title": "At home on Golden Hill.", "content": "At home on Golden Hill.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269076"} {"pmid": "10269070", "title": "Center provides research, treatment for Hansen's disease.", "content": "Center provides research, treatment for Hansen's disease.

This article discusses the training needs, personnel shortages, and lack of effective service programs and proposes some strategies for dealing with the problems. There is a lack of adequate methods for identifying and referring frail elderly persons in need of mental health services. Services that are currently available to the elderly are identified along with factors that may influence their use by older adults and other service personnel. There are shortages of mental health professionals with special training and experience in gerontology and geriatrics, and clinical geropsychologists. An innovative and practical service model that was developed to coordinate and integrate the identification and treatment of frail, community-dwelling elderly is presented. Various aspects of the program that include outreach and case management approaches, the integration of student volunteer activities with those of special volunteer corps within public housing and specially trained paraprofessionals, telephone reassurance programs, and a system of layered supervision are described. Comparisons are made between this Coordinated Agency Resources for Elderly Services (CARES) model and existing service delivery programs. A three-tiered approach to training and coordinating the activities of trained mental health personnel: (a) paraprofessionals and volunteers, (b) middle-level professionals and (c) supervisory professionals within an integrated system is proposed.

Up to now managers could find little evidence to support the idea that the organization's culture has an impact on its bottom-line performance. To remedy this, Denison draws on survey and performance data from 34 large corporations to show that those that have participative cultures experience better performance than those that do not. This difference in performance appears to have widened over the five years that these firms were studied. The results also hold up when the performance measures for each firm (return on investment and return on sales) are compared with those of their competitors. Denison suggests that this comparative approach to the study of organizational culture provides a way to capture the impact that culture has on organizational performance. This strategy, he argues, also provides a way of diagnosing organizations and measuring the ways in which human resources management, organizational culture, and management practices do, in fact, contribute to the success of business organizations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269198"} {"pmid": "10269199", "title": "'Wellness' helps public and industry.", "content": "'Wellness' helps public and industry.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269199"} {"pmid": "10269200", "title": "Career transitions within organizations: an exploratory study of work, nonwork, and coping strategies.", "content": "Career transitions within organizations: an exploratory study of work, nonwork, and coping strategies. This paper examines career transitions within organizations. An integrative model was developed and evaluated which views career transitions as a stress-coping process influenced by work and nonwork factors. Data supported the model in that individuals experiencing a large number of personal life transitions were more likely to adopt a symptom-management coping strategy (as contrasted with a situation-focused strategy) for dealing with job stress during the transition. However, neither the magnitude of the career transition nor intervening role variables in the model contributed to explanation of the career transition process. Major career transitions were associated with major transitions in personal life and data suggested that a career transition could act as a \"trigger\" event for personal life instability. Implications of both supportive and disconfirming findings are discussed.

This paper reports the approach used in a physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) manpower requirements study conducted in British Columbia, Canada. A total of 426 questionnaires were mailed to likely employers of PTs and OTs, and to PTs in private practice. After telephone reminders and a second mailing, the overall response rate was 83.3%. The results of the survey indicated that, by 1986, respective PT and OT department heads were anticipating a 60% increase in demand for PTs and a 102% increase for OTs, while agency administrators were suggesting a 76% increase for PTs and a 142% increase for OTs. Although a variety of factors--all largely beyond the control of both respondents and researchers--will determine the degree to which these estimates actually reflect the future demand for these manpower groups, it should be noted that, for both disciplines, the anticipated increase was substantially greater than the level experienced in the five years preceding the survey. The estimation approach used in this study considers nonrespondents; it is a procedure which permits investigators to offer a more accurate picture of the current manpower situation while using a more realistic base on which to estimate future requirements. The development of the requirement side in the supply/requirement equations of manpower studies may be well served in the future with this approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269229"} {"pmid": "10269232", "title": "Attendance.", "content": "Attendance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269232"} {"pmid": "10269261", "title": "Dental care for the AIDs patient: the infection control practitioner's perspective.", "content": "Dental care for the AIDs patient: the infection control practitioner's perspective.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269261"} {"pmid": "10269244", "title": "The changing context of human services administration.", "content": "The changing context of human services administration.

On June 22, 1984, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published a final standard for ethylene oxide (EtO) that established a permissible exposure limit of 1 part EtO per million parts of air determined as an 8-hour time--weighted average (TWA) concentration (29 CFR 1910.1047, 49 FR 25734). The standard also includes provisions for methods of exposure control, personal protective equipment, measurement of employee exposure, training, signs, and labels, medical surveillance, regulated areas, emergencies and recordkeeping. The basis for this action was a determination by OSHA, based on human and animal data, that exposure to EtO presents a carcinogenic, mutagenic, genotoxic, reproductive, neurologic, and sensitization hazard to workers. During the rulemaking proceedings that led to the establishment of the 1 ppm TWA, the issue of whether there was a need for a short-term exposure limit (STEL) for workers protection from EtO was raised. OSHA reserved decision on the adoption of a STEL at the conclusion of the rulemaking in order to permit peer review of the available evidence and to review more fully the arguments and pertinent data regarding the STEL issue. Upon receipt of the analyses from most of the peer reviewers, OSHA published a notice to that effect on September 19, 1984 (49 FR 36659) and invited public comment on the pertinent issues addressed in the peer reviews. Based on the entire rulemaking record, including the peer reviews and public comments received since June 22, the Assistant Secretary has determined that adoption of a STEL for EtO is not warranted by the available health evidence, and that a STEL is not reasonably necessary or appropriate for inclusion in the final EtO standard. OSHA has also asked that NIOSH fund certain additional studies related to whether a dose-rate relationship can be established for EtO, and OSHA will review the results of those studies when they become available.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269295"} {"pmid": "10269300", "title": "Employer considers refund of health plan contributions.", "content": "Employer considers refund of health plan contributions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269300"} {"pmid": "10269301", "title": "When religious faith dictates treatment.", "content": "When religious faith dictates treatment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269301"} {"pmid": "10269283", "title": "Another side of DRG's.", "content": "Another side of DRG's.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269283"} {"pmid": "10269288", "title": "Arguing the right to die.", "content": "Arguing the right to die.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269288"} {"pmid": "10269302", "title": "Moving south: from the frying pan and into the fire?", "content": "Moving south: from the frying pan and into the fire?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269302"} {"pmid": "10269303", "title": "Brand name vs generic: the drug wars rage on.", "content": "Brand name vs generic: the drug wars rage on.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269303"} {"pmid": "10269304", "title": "Healing--through the eyes of traditional cultures.", "content": "Healing--through the eyes of traditional cultures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269304"} {"pmid": "10269296", "title": "Insurers predict lower health care rate hikes.", "content": "Insurers predict lower health care rate hikes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269296"} {"pmid": "10269299", "title": "Employer actions help hold the line.", "content": "Employer actions help hold the line.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269299"} {"pmid": "10269298", "title": "Employers hope for savings from home care.", "content": "Employers hope for savings from home care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269298"} {"pmid": "10269305", "title": "Home practice: is the neighborhood doctor extinct?", "content": "Home practice: is the neighborhood doctor extinct?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269305"} {"pmid": "10269297", "title": "Mandatory rate setting still studied by states.", "content": "Mandatory rate setting still studied by states.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269297"} {"pmid": "10269306", "title": "Prevocational exploration and vocational rehabilitation of the psychiatric client.", "content": "Prevocational exploration and vocational rehabilitation of the psychiatric client.

Based on a number of descriptive clinical studies, it can be concluded that vocational rehabilitation serves as a key factor in a comprehensive psychiatric treatment program located in the community.

With the assistance of Statistics Canada a survey was designed and through CAOT, it was distributed in the Fall of 1981. Although a completed methodology and tabulation were sent to the CAOT Executive in March 1982, an analysis was not completed until November 1982. This report is to inform all participants of the findings, implications and future considerations. The objectives, methodology and problems encountered are described. Unfortunately, most of the objectives were not met. The task of developing an effective survey tool and the process of collecting meaningful data was far greater than anticipated. Such a massive project, which entails money and time, requires professional assistance to reduce ambiguities in the survey forms and computerization to correlate the information. Much of the information received could not be used nor correlated; however, the results do give a brief description of the profile of an occupational therapist to build on in the future.

Differences between respondents in demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related variables were analyzed to determine their possible effects on where an individual preferred to die.

Based on data from hospice programs in an industrialized Midwestern state, this paper explores the strategies employed by hospice programs to become integrated, the conflicts that have arisen among providers of hospice care, and the impact of hospice program integration on patient care. Results show that as hospice programs become more integrated, they have lost some of the idealism on which they were founded, have altered organizational structures, and have changed certain patient services.

It would be advantageous to a decision maker to know the sources and magnitudes of such errors in using a measurement system or in choosing among alternative measurement systems. This paper describes an approach to determining the reliability of a measurement procedure called generalizability (G) theory. G theory uses the results of a random-effects analysis of variance to estimate the magnitude of error variability associated with each of several potential sources. These estimates can then be used to calculate a number of indices which typify the amount of precision provided by a measurement system in a particular context of usage.

The MCQ ability scales were constructed by classifying the one best answer and multiple-true/false questions in each examination as measuring predominantly clinical judgment, synthesis, or knowledge. Clinical judgment items require prioritizing or weighing management decisions; synthesis items require the integration of findings into a diagnostic decision; and knowledge items stress recall of factual information. Analyses indicate that the MCQ ability scales are more reliable and valid per unit of testing time than are PMPs and that clinical judgment and synthesis scales are slightly more correlated with PMPs than is the knowledge scale.

Thus it quickly evokes competitive responses from other health care providers, who must become equally cost-conscious or lose their market share.

These mental patients tended to be chronic schizophrenics with an established history of poor social coping. Their average age was 48 years, and they had no obvious physical ailments that would account for their nursing-home placements. These patients received an average of three or four medications each, a figure that tended to increase over a 1-year period.

The economic consequences of personal health care decision-making have received relatively little attention in the United States. The majority of the American public is shielded from an awareness of the cost impact of health services by first dollar health insurance coverage and modest out-of-pocket personal payments. As the various current structural changes in the reimbursement system for health care begin to manifest themselves in terms of mandating individual responsibility for paying a significant portion of health care, Americans will require and demand a deeper understanding of how much their health is costing them. In addition, as individuals realize that up to 50% of disability and death can be attributed to negative lifestyle health behaviors, the interrelationship of personal economic status and health status will create a new consciousness of the value of preventive health practices and health education. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the social forces in America compelling individual health decision-making in economic terms, barriers to informed health decision-making, a suggested matrix for making quality-vested health decisions (with case examples) and a discussion of available resources for assisting in the decision-making process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269441"} {"pmid": "10269429", "title": "Raising money from members: who needs what you do?", "content": "Raising money from members: who needs what you do?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269429"} {"pmid": "10269443", "title": "Response to Relman.", "content": "Response to Relman.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269443"} {"pmid": "10269442", "title": "For-profit hospitals for Europe: the case of Britain and France.", "content": "For-profit hospitals for Europe: the case of Britain and France.

Cost-containment however coupled to rapid increases in premiums is slowing down the momentum. Moreover, the NHS starts charging private hospitals for such services like blood banks. In France the private sector has always been strong, although living in a highly regulated and dependent symbiosis with the public sector. In a second part, speculations are made on the crucial question whether for-profit hospitals are a legitimate alternative for Europe.

The primary care system should be composed of a set of health centres which are identical with regard to equipment and personnel. The problem is to determine the number--and thus the size--of the health centres, and their location. The solution depends on two opposing factors: the total construction cost, which is increasing with the number of centres, and the walking distance for the patient, which is decreasing with the number of centres. For a given critical distance, we find--using techniques of location theory in network--the smallest number of centres that will ensure that all inhabitants are located within the critical distance. A Fortran program in which the sensitivity of the solution is studied as a function of the given critical distance is developed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269461"} {"pmid": "10269462", "title": "The marketing of pastoral care and counseling, chaplaincy, and clinical pastoral education.", "content": "The marketing of pastoral care and counseling, chaplaincy, and clinical pastoral education.

The experimental intervention involved a ten-week series of group sessions based on symbolic interactionist role theory. The research used a quasi-experimental, three-group, time-series design: Experimental group 1 consisted of 17 patients and their spouses who participated in group counseling; experimental group 2 consisted of 22 patients and their spouses, but only the patients participated in the group series; the control group consisted of 19 patients and their spouses who did not participate in the experimental program. Data were collected at baseline, ten weeks, and six months on four cardiac risk factors: weight loss, blood pressure, exercise, and smoking. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed a significant difference (P less than 0.01) in mean body fat among treatment groups, with experimental group 2 having the greatest decrease over time. Patients in both experimental groups demonstrated lowered blood pressure, with a significant decrease (P less than 0.05) in systolic blood pressure. Again, the largest decrease was in experimental group 2.

(2) Do patients perceive that activity in the ward environment and symptoms of illness affect use? (3) What aspects of activity and symptoms do patients report affect use? One hundred patients, 60 men and 40 women with an average age of 59 years, hospitalized with ischemic heart disease (acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina) were interviewed an average of six days after distribution of a self-instructional booklet as a component of a standard teaching program. Three subjects claimed not to have received the booklet; nine made no use of it; 73 made partial use of it; and 15 made complete use of it. Fifteen subjects claimed activity in the ward environment and 25 subjects claimed symptoms of illness affected use.

The role of a clinical nurse specialist with skills and abilities complementary to that of the child psychiatrist or pediatrician who can provide many of the ancillary and direct services needed by these patients is described.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269626"} {"pmid": "10269627", "title": "American hospitals evaluate their computer systems in 1984.", "content": "American hospitals evaluate their computer systems in 1984.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269627"} {"pmid": "10269628", "title": "Management information systems...definition and status.", "content": "Management information systems...definition and status.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269628"} {"pmid": "10269630", "title": "High-technology vision center has eye-appealing sophistication.", "content": "High-technology vision center has eye-appealing sophistication.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269630"} {"pmid": "10269629", "title": "Executive managers, take note!", "content": "Executive managers, take note!", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269629"} {"pmid": "10269631", "title": "Hospital learning center aids pediatric therapy.", "content": "Hospital learning center aids pediatric therapy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269631"} {"pmid": "10269632", "title": "Teleconferencing facilities take healthcare lead.", "content": "Teleconferencing facilities take healthcare lead.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269632"} {"pmid": "10269633", "title": "Integrated light & color makes positive contribution to patient rehabilitation.", "content": "Integrated light & color makes positive contribution to patient rehabilitation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269633"} {"pmid": "10269635", "title": "Healthcare super-mart is new design trend.", "content": "Healthcare super-mart is new design trend.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269635"} {"pmid": "10269634", "title": "Designer uses paint to color a low-budget hospital project.", "content": "Designer uses paint to color a low-budget hospital project.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269634"} {"pmid": "10269636", "title": "Prototype hospital room provides privacy & amenities.", "content": "Prototype hospital room provides privacy & amenities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269636"} {"pmid": "10269637", "title": "Memphis Methodist hospitals renovate with master plan.", "content": "Memphis Methodist hospitals renovate with master plan.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269637"} {"pmid": "10269639", "title": "Continuity of care video teleconference audience questions to panelists.", "content": "Continuity of care video teleconference audience questions to panelists.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269639"} {"pmid": "10269640", "title": "Situational ethics: an approach to resolving ethical dilemmas in discharge planning.", "content": "Situational ethics: an approach to resolving ethical dilemmas in discharge planning.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269640"} {"pmid": "10269641", "title": "Physician attitudes on medical costs, alternatives.", "content": "Physician attitudes on medical costs, alternatives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269641"} {"pmid": "10269638", "title": "Color, signage identify extended care facility.", "content": "Color, signage identify extended care facility.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269638"} {"pmid": "10269644", "title": "Budgeting in health care.", "content": "Budgeting in health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269644"} {"pmid": "10269646", "title": "Is there a general theory for health care budgeting?", "content": "Is there a general theory for health care budgeting?

During the last decade there has been a recognition that all health care systems, public and private, are characterised by perverse incentives (especially moral hazard and third party pays) which generate inefficiency in the use of scarce economic resources. Inefficiency is unethical: doctors who use resources inefficiently deprive potential patients of care from which they could benefit. To eradicate unethical and inefficient practices two economic rules have to be followed: (i) no service should be provided if its total costs exceed its total benefits; (ii) if total benefits exceed total costs, the level of provision should be at that level at which the additional input cost (marginal cost) is equal to the additional benefits (marginal benefit). This efficiency test can be applied to health care systems, their component parts and the individuals (especially doctors) who control resource allocation within them. Unfortunately, all health care systems neither generate this relevant decision making data nor are they flexible enough to use it to affect health care decisions. There are two basic varieties of budgeting system: resource based and production targeted. The former generates obsession with cash limits and too little regard of the benefits, particularly at the margins, of alternative patterns of resource allocation. The latter generates undue attention to the production of processes of care and scant regard for costs, especially at the margins. Consequently, one set of budget rules may lead to cost containment regardless of benefits and the other set of budget rules may lead to output maximization regardless of costs. To close this circle of inefficiency it is necessary to evolve market-like structures. To do this a system of client group (defined broadly across all existing activities public and private) budgets is advocated with an identification of the budget holder who has the capacity to shift resources and seek out cost effective policies. Negotiated output targets with defined budgets and incentives for decision makers to economise in their use of resources are being incorporated into experiments in the health care systems of Western Europe and the United States. Undue optimism about the success of these experiments must be avoided because these problems have existed in the West and in the Soviet bloc for decades and efficient solutions are noticeable by their absence.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269645"} {"pmid": "10269647", "title": "Regional health budgeting in Western Europe.", "content": "Regional health budgeting in Western Europe. This article distinguishes in the first section three characteristics of regional budgeting in health care systems: geographical division of budgets, regional financial limits, and policy freedom for regional authorities. Following these and more general elements of regional budgeting systems sections 2 to 5 describe the situation in the U.K., Sweden, The Netherlands, and some other European countries. The first two countries have a developed regional budgeting system for health services paid by taxation. Other European countries are developing regional budgeting models which are to be combined with a social insurance system. Of these countries, the Netherlands are discussed in some detail. Based on the experiences with regional budgeting in different countries three hypotheses are generated which require further empirical research. They are: (1) One management tier on a regional level--or municipal or provincial level--is a condition for a regional budgeting system which contributes more to an integration of health services than a two-tier system. (2) Countries with a regional budgeting system with a regional financial limit superimposed by the state seem to spend a smaller percentage of their gross national product than other countries. (3) Countries with policy freedom on a local level show a faster growth rate for primary care than for hospital care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269647"} {"pmid": "10269650", "title": "Economic aspects of smoking.", "content": "Economic aspects of smoking. Smoking has become a major issue for public health policy in recent years. This paper deals with the economic aspects of smoking. First, we outline the basic concepts of welfare economics which subsequently are used as the normative framework of the analysis. In particular, we stress the role of efficiency as a criterion for economic policy evaluation. Second, we demonstrate that smoking is associated with several market failures, notably externalities and dependency/addiction (non-rational behavior). Third, costs and benefits of smoking are considered. We argue that the benefits of smoking are the satisfaction (utility) which the consumers derive from it rather than the employment effect of producing tobacco products or the revenues of the excise tax on these products. A general model for estimating the costs of smoking is developed and various cost concepts are discussed. Empirical cost estimates are presented for Switzerland. In 1976, estimated social (economic) costs of smoking were between 560 and 800 million Swiss francs while the external costs were between 140 and 260 million francs. Contrary to a widely held belief, smoking hardly influenced health care costs because the higher medical care costs of smokers during their lifetime are offset by their reduced life expectancy. The last section deals with intervention strategies to reduce smoking: anti-smoking publicity, advertising restrictions, and taxation. We discuss these three instruments on a conceptual level and summarize previous empirical studies. The main results are: (1) Both publicity and taxation offer a considerable potential as deterrents of cigarette demand. (2) The results for Switzerland imply that publicity campaigns are likely to be efficient in the sense that expected campaign benefits outweigh its costs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269650"} {"pmid": "10269651", "title": "Caring for the infirm: a task for the individual or for a social insurance programme?", "content": "Caring for the infirm: a task for the individual or for a social insurance programme? In West Germany, seventy per cent of all nursing home patients receive only a pocket-money, for social health insurances are responsible only for the care of \"sick\" people, but not of those needing only \"care\". The infirm individual, however, rarely can pay for the costs of nursing homes out of his own revenue. Despite general agreement that guarding against the financial risks of becoming dependent on nursing is insufficient there is little consensus on what a new concept should look like. Some proposals are more concerned with avoiding cost-expansion than with effective health care. On the one hand, the implementation of a new branch in the social insurance system, called \"nursing insurance\", is demanded, which would pay for the stay in nursing homes. On the other hand, it is emphasized that the capacity for voluntary individual provision should be strengthened as well as the families' means to care for their bedridden members.

Various assessments have been made of the contribution of diet to the risk of developing cancer in industrialized societies. The evidence available for a causal relationship between diet factors and cancer of specific sites is still incomplete and further research is needed to fill gaps in knowledge. Nevertheless given the limited effectiveness of available therapy in the treatment of established disease, preventive measures based on available evidence should receive active consideration, particularly as they are unlikely to be hazardous in other respects and as they approximate to changes in food supply and diet recommended for general health maintenance. Prevention must address itself to the nature of the food supply, to the choice of the foods that constitute the normal diet and the way in which these are stored and prepared both domestically and industrially. The objectives of a primary prevention programme would be to develop dietary intake patterns that would meet established requirements for health maintenance, would minimize the intake of carcinogens and optimize the intake of inhibitors. The feasibility of public health measures in respect of these objectives is examined and the cost effectiveness assessed. Potential problems arising from the implementations are considered. Measures include the modification of agricultural practices and of food processing techniques as well as various approaches to nutrition education, and modification of food intake patterns. It is concluded that considerable experience exists in other areas of nutrition intervention to suggest that primary prevention of cancer in respect of dietary factors is feasible and would complement other public health activities in this area.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269649"} {"pmid": "10269653", "title": "When to buy, when to lease.", "content": "When to buy, when to lease.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269653"} {"pmid": "10269654", "title": "Selecting reliable vendors.", "content": "Selecting reliable vendors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269654"} {"pmid": "10269642", "title": "Chickenpox, shingles and EMS.", "content": "Chickenpox, shingles and EMS.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269642"} {"pmid": "10269655", "title": "Client-centered health education: a chance for provider change.", "content": "Client-centered health education: a chance for provider change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269655"} {"pmid": "10269657", "title": "Client-centered treatment for the alcoholic in an ambulatory care setting.", "content": "Client-centered treatment for the alcoholic in an ambulatory care setting.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269657"} {"pmid": "10269656", "title": "Health risk appraisals: use and misuse.", "content": "Health risk appraisals: use and misuse.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269656"} {"pmid": "10269643", "title": "State legislative requirements for CPR certification of EMS personnel.", "content": "State legislative requirements for CPR certification of EMS personnel.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269643"} {"pmid": "10269658", "title": "An interactive model for wellness: a systems approach.", "content": "An interactive model for wellness: a systems approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269658"} {"pmid": "10269660", "title": "The issue of women's health: a matter of record.", "content": "The issue of women's health: a matter of record.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269660"} {"pmid": "10269661", "title": "Volunteers in patient education: is there a role?", "content": "Volunteers in patient education: is there a role?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269661"} {"pmid": "10269659", "title": "Use of benefit segmentation in designing family health programs.", "content": "Use of benefit segmentation in designing family health programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269659"} {"pmid": "10269662", "title": "An advocacy model for health care professionals.", "content": "An advocacy model for health care professionals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269662"} {"pmid": "10269668", "title": "A bit more: computers.

Traditionally, pricing of hospital-based ancillary and diagnostic services has been a reactionary response to a cost-based budgeting system. Revenue objectives have been determined by budgeted costs, new development, contractual allowances, and required net income. Since hospitals have found it difficult to accurately measure the costs of specific services, price setting has been reserved solely for senior management or for the financial division. Thus, operating managers and their professional (medico-administrative) counterparts have had little opportunity to participate in the price-setting process and, for the most part, have had little understanding of the cost components which should be analyzed before the rates are set. A great deal of confusion and questioning has developed surrounding the establishment of prices at the departmental level.

Because of limited cash, sponsors of some community and religious hospitals have sought to sell or lease their institutions to a not-for-profit (NFP) system or to a for-profit system. A number of national alliances address the capital formation problem of NFP institutions. Until now they have been almost exclusively concerned with acquiring less costly debt. Without new equity capital, market influence is difficult to obtain. Even well-managed voluntary systems face a serious threat from well-capitalized investor-owned systems. Increased competition among hospitals and physicians will force future advantages to those who have capital. It will also restrict funding of certain programs and services by voluntary enterprises. In anticipation of this, various forms of partnerships have developed with investor-owned systems. To regain the initiative as the premier sponsors of health care, religious and other voluntary systems must go beyond merely competing in their markets to acquiring weaker institutions. They also must revitalize private giving and excel in efficiency to offset threats from ambulatory, day-care operations and from high-technology hospitals. Structural changes in the industry can be predicted, including the following: The trend toward integration for production, financing, and marketing will continue. Public market equity capital will be increasingly used to finance medical practice. Hospitals that sell their equity values will establish service foundations.

The problems included a deemphasis on social and spiritual aspects and an overemphasis on billing concerns. To correct these difficulties, the hospital adopted the Patient Evaluation Conference System (PECS), adding a pastoral care component. Central to the new system is the addition of pastoral care data from scales that assess patient status in four areas: (1) awareness of spiritual dimension of disability, (2) knowledge of spiritual resources, (3) skill in spiritual self-management, and (4) use of spiritual resources. Pastoral care staff write evaluations in easily understood language so other staff members can understand pastoral care's purpose. They formulate specific short-term objectives in order to delineate the pastoral services needed. Integration with the treatment team has resulted in greater accountability for the pastoral care staff. Patient progress charts now include specific pastoral care goals, and a daily report of pastoral care services is included on patient bills, although no fee is charged. Program evaluation and feedback systems to enable pastoral care staff to make more accurate assessments are planned. The new system has enhanced staff communication, service documentation, discharge planning, and the quality of pastoral care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269778"} {"pmid": "10269779", "title": "Comprehensive radiological equipment management program.", "content": "Comprehensive radiological equipment management program. The increasing cost and complexity of state-of-the-art radiological equipment, and the need for more comprehensive safety and performance assurance, have increased maintenance expenditures to a level where they have become one of the largest operating expenses of radiology departments. To cope with this ever increasing expenditure, a comprehensive in-house maintenance program was implemented in our institution. This program properly balanced the capability of the radiology department's in-house technical personnel with support provided by equipment manufacturers' service organizations. Quality assurance activities are also included as an integral part of the entire program. Since the implementation of the program, an average 40% reduction in the annual maintenance expenditure has been observed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269779"} {"pmid": "10269775", "title": "New communications tools expand educational options.", "content": "New communications tools expand educational options. Administrators must make well-informed decisions regarding new communications technology to disseminate information to diverse constituencies in the facility and its service area.

Administrators are faced with choosing from among such electronic media as satellite programming, telephone systems, cable television, and microwave radio to meet their institutions' needs. Teleconferences and closed-circuit educational programming also offer cost-efficient choices. Consultants can assist the management team in developing an appropriate system, whether sharing in an existing program or private network or installing an independent satellite-receiving dish, or \"downlink.\" The team, including medical personnel, must choose the hardware that the institution can use most effectively in accomplishing its objectives. Studying other facilities' systems, such as St. Joseph Hospital, Providence, RI, with its independent receiving dish, shows the practical applications of the often confusing technology. Administrators should not be put off by \"'technology frenzy.\" About 600 U.S. institutions have receiving stations or access to them; most will have them in the future. Even smaller facilities can become leaders with this cost-effective technology.

Data on 56 employee groups in 1981 and 66 employee groups in 1982 were collected from two surveys of large employers in Minnesota. Regression analysis of premium data from both surveys rejected the hypothesis. Indemnity plans in multiplan groups were cheaper if the employer paid a level dollar contribution versus a level percent (including 100) contribution. However, groups offered only an indemnity plan had lower premiums than groups meeting the two legislative conditions. These findings apply to both individual and family coverage premiums and are not caused by systematic differences in benefit provisions, employee demographics or factors influencing loading charges.

Effective Continuing Medical Education (CME) could help greatly to resolve this problem. THere is, however, little evidence that presently available systems of CME, though costly, are effective in improving either physician competence or patient health. Attractive and cost-effective CME methods are greatly needed. This study develops, field tests and evaluates more efficient office-based CME programs for family doctors.

An existing dedicated pharmacy computer system (MIDAS system, Alfred Hospital and Health Computing Services, Victoria) used primarily for pharmacy labelling and dispensing, has been rewritten for an in-house minicomputer, with enhancements that allow it to be used in budgetary predictions, drug use monitoring, therapeutic audit and as a research tool. An automatically updated hard copy record of individual patient prescription profiles is generated and represents a valuable addition to the patient medical record. Allied to automatic \"sorting\" and retrieval techniques, all patients on nominated drugs can be identified and their records examined for particular combination use. Current application to assessment of nifedipine- beta blocker use will be presented, as will an application to cimetidine audit. Prescriptions can be scanned and segregated in terms of numbers of prescriptions in addition to segregation in terms of a particular therapeutic agent. Initial application to audit has detected an unacceptable level of polypharmacy (more than 26% of all prescriptions involve greater than or equal to 5 items and more than 3% involved greater than or equal to 10 items). Statistical information on the volume and unit cost of outpatient prescribing allows a precise estimate of ongoing budgetary commitments, while trends in discharge medication profiles allow a basis for prediction of budgetary trends, particularly with respect to the use of recent additions to the formulary. The system allows for expansion at minimal cost with potentially revolutionary applications, for example, interactive prescriber education if and when \"on-line\" capabilities are developed. Cross-linking with relevant data-bases will allow a major expansion of applied research into therapeutic drug use and its consequences.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269944"} {"pmid": "10269943", "title": "Strategies to improve drug use in hospitals.", "content": "Strategies to improve drug use in hospitals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269943"} {"pmid": "10269945", "title": "Assuring rational antibiotic use: the impact of a joint microbiology-pharmacy surveillance program.", "content": "Assuring rational antibiotic use: the impact of a joint microbiology-pharmacy surveillance program. A comprehensive antibiotic surveillance program conducted in cooperation with the Microbiology and Pharmacy departments in a teaching hospital is described. The program consists of a number of interrelated processes including the personal advice of specialists including a Clinical Microbiologist, Infection Control Nurse and Ward Pharmacists, re-educative strategies and non restrictive administrative policies. The program does not involve the use of formularies or published guidelines, and retains complete clinical freedom of choice for antibiotics. Studies, including antibiotic prevalence and prescribing surveys, indicate that the program has been an effective means of improving antibiotic use, reducing costs and promoting infection control. This has been achieved by educative means through the provision of relevant information on antibiotic principles, and opportunities for prescribers to improve their problem solving skills, resulting in long term attitudinal change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10269945"} {"pmid": "10269946", "title": "The structure and operation of health service boards of management in South Australia.", "content": "The structure and operation of health service boards of management in South Australia.

The analysis estimated the relative risk of transfer associated with different levels of the risk factors by the odds ratio. The analysis was performed twice, once for the full case-control data set and a second time for patients with severe injuries. Of the risk factors examined the only strong, consistent relationships with patient transfer were found for marital status and region of country.

A questionnaire was developed to characterize the location, operation, personnel, reference resources, and functions of drug information centers in countries throughout the world other than the United States. The questionnaire was mailed to 100 drug information centers or pharmacy practitioners (primarily faculty) in 65 countries. The majority of drug information centers responding to this questionnaire were located at and funded by university based hospitals. Most were open eight hours per day and engaged in the following activities: answering requests for information, publishing pharmacy bulletins, teaching, continuing education, and providing information directly to pharmacy and therapeutics committees. Additional information gathered from this survey included: common references and journals maintained by drug information centers, user demographics, and a request profile. Although many similarities among the information centers were found, interesting observations regarding their differences may be made. It is important that drug information centers share their experiences so that others may learn about their new and innovative programs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270137"} {"pmid": "10270139", "title": "Effect of ten specific questions on nationwide drug information center activity.", "content": "Effect of ten specific questions on nationwide drug information center activity. A survey of drug information centers (DICs) was performed to determine (1) the number of requests received and (2) the amount of manpower used in answering requests for frequently sought information dealing with ten specific topics. A total of 2,968 requests for information on ten topics was received by the 41 DICs, representing 3% of all questions received. The number of requests for information on each topic ranged from 27 to 724, and over half of the DICs received at least one request for information on nine of the ten topics. A total of 1,206 man-hours was used by the DICs to answer requests for information on all topics combined.

As one facet of a larger investigation evaluating the various means by which patients receive information concerning their medications, a telephone-based drug information service was established for selected public use. The purpose was to detail the growth and utilization of the service, characterize the type and importance of the questions asked, and compare the potential utility with that of the USP-DI patient package insert (PPI) in responding to the public's drug information requests. Availability of the toll-free number for the Prescription Drug Information Service (PDIS) was controlled by offering it only to outpatients receiving selected medicines from the pharmacy of a large university-based medical center. The PDIS was operated by clinical pharmacists who participated in completing standardized operational data forms after each drug information call by the public. Of those calls received, 91.7% were not of a serious nature and most commonly dealt with side effects, drug interactions, and drug identification. Fifty percent of first-time calls occurred within two days of the subject's visit to the pharmacy and 23.4% of the total PDIS calls were repeat contacts. Interestingly, 34% of the patients' questions could not have been answered using the standard USP-DI PPI.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270138"} {"pmid": "10270101", "title": "Physician-administrator conflict.", "content": "Physician-administrator conflict.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270101"} {"pmid": "10270115", "title": "Partisanship and health policy.", "content": "Partisanship and health policy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270115"} {"pmid": "10270142", "title": "Social support networks and the health of elderly persons.", "content": "Social support networks and the health of elderly persons.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270142"} {"pmid": "10270111", "title": "Arizona hospital cost battle goes to the polls; voters to decide rate control issue.", "content": "Arizona hospital cost battle goes to the polls; voters to decide rate control issue.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270111"} {"pmid": "10270114", "title": "Franchise regulation: closer to home than you may think.", "content": "Franchise regulation: closer to home than you may think.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270114"} {"pmid": "10270143", "title": "Cheating on licensing examinations--a legal perspective.", "content": "Cheating on licensing examinations--a legal perspective.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270143"} {"pmid": "10270145", "title": "Physician, sell thyself.", "content": "Physician, sell thyself.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270145"} {"pmid": "10270118", "title": "Corporate-community foundations: the tie that's binding.", "content": "Corporate-community foundations: the tie that's binding.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270118"} {"pmid": "10270113", "title": "Future status of project review programs in health planning process remains uncertain.", "content": "Future status of project review programs in health planning process remains uncertain.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270113"} {"pmid": "10270146", "title": "The hot and healthy glow of the HMOs.", "content": "The hot and healthy glow of the HMOs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270146"} {"pmid": "10270144", "title": "Foreign medical graduates: credentials and licensure--III.

During the study period all prescriptions written by house staff were reviewed by a pharmacist for compliance to previously established criteria. Noncompliant prescriptions were photocopied by the pharmacist and recorded for review by the resident's clinical preceptor. After an 8-week period of baseline data collection, residents were counseled privately by the clinical preceptor and critique on their ability to write a legally and procedurally correct prescription. The residents were made aware of their major deficiencies to enable them to correct the problems. During an unannounced 4-week period, beginning 5 months after preceptor consultation, resident prescription writing was again audited. The result, an overall decrease of 78.5% in noncompliant prescriptions, illustrates that establishing lines of communication between pharmacists and physicians can demonstrably improve health care services.

A therapeutic substitution policy (TSP) for tobramycin and gentamicin sulfate was implemented at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). The policy was designed by various physician-chaired hospital committees and clinical departments that collaborated with the pharmacy service. The goal was to encourage the medical house staff to use the most economical yet safe and effective aminoglycoside, without limiting the medical team's prerogative to select among alternatives within this antibiotic group. Cost data from the first 6 months of aminoglycoside use under the new policy projected an annual savings of $139,071 in drug expenditures and $242,472 in patient charges. Following the implementation of the TSP, a concurrent drug utilization review (DUR) was performed in 50 consecutive inpatients prescribed amikacin, tobramycin, or gentamicin sulfate. The objectives were to identify those aspects of prescribing and monitoring of aminoglycosides by house staff that could be improved by specific policy and/or education, and to evaluate those specific cases in which attending physician's approval allowed house staff to prescribe an aminoglycoside other than designated in the TSP. The audit revealed that house staff were compliant with 72% of the DUR criteria; however, at least one instance (mean of 5.04 +/- 2.21) of noncompliance occurred during the treatment of each patient. The most frequently encountered deficiencies were failure to monitor for ototoxicity, incorrect orders for at least one set of serum aminoglycoside concentrations, and improper dosage adjustments for those patients with renal insufficiency. In three cases, the attending physician approved house staff use of tobramycin instead of gentamicin sulfate for reasons of organism resistance, pre-existing renal impairment, and long-term treatment of osteomyelitis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270312"} {"pmid": "10270317", "title": "Look-alike threats to unit dose safety.", "content": "Look-alike threats to unit dose safety.

A physician's duty does not rest on the medical profession's code of conduct; it consists of the physician's moral obligation to a specific person in a specific situation. That person's entire identity--not just the physical being--is assaulted by terminal illness; the emotional, familial, and social dimensions of selfhood are ravaged by the disease as surely as is the body. Each individual is involved in his or her suffering in a way that is unique and that cannot be understood or appreciated by anyone else. But the physician must try to bridge the distance that is placed around the sufferer by the dying process. And it is only with his or her own humanity that the care giver can accomplish this. That humanity should inform all decision making, and thus bring with it genuine control and comfort. In this way the patient can truly \"own\" his or her own death.

Because life and all activities are subordinated to spiritual ends, it is moral to allow oneself to die when efforts to prolong life will bring no significant benefit and may even make it more difficult to finish life in peace, composure, and union with God. This is not the moral equivalent of suicide, but rather an acceptance of the human condition. In making such a decision, the distinction between morally ordinary and extraordinary means is crucial and based on the patient's total good. Ordinary means are those which offer a reasonable hope of benefit without excessive expense, pain, or other inconvenience. Extraordinary means are those which cannot be obtained without excessive burden or which, if used, would not offer a reasonable hope of benefit. Whether a medical procedure is standard or experimental does not, from a moral viewpoint, affect whether it is ordinary or extraordinary. In Catholic teaching, the patient has the paramount right to decide whether life-preserving measures will be used.

They especially must look to the Church's Code of Canon Law to protect ecclesiastical goods and maintain their Catholic identity when entering such ventures. The U.S. bishops directives also assist in guaranteeing patient expectations that the health facility will observe the Church's ethical principles. Institutes first must ensure that subsidiaries will operate according to Catholic mission and philosophy. The canons delineate proper protection of assets and identify ends toward which the religious must apply temporal goods, such as supporting clergy and performing charitable works. Alienation, or conveyance of goods, is a critical consideration in such financial transactions; canons specify the institute's administrative limits and require superiors' written permission along with their councils' consent. All involved must be \"thoroughly informed concerning the economic situation,\" show \"just cause\" for the transaction, and obtain expert estimates of property values. Religious administrators retain certain faith and executive obligations, such as amending the charter, appointing the board, and merging or dissolving the corporation. With the canons they help to ensure that collaborative efforts preserve the institute's corporate mission and allow religious to carry out their responsibility for ecclesiastical goods.

In 1908, a 20 bed hospital known as Florida Sanitarium began serving the small farming community of Orlando primarily through traditional \"rest cures\" in a quiet, wooded environment. By contrast in 1985, the 1,071 bed Florida Hospital is a technologically advanced, full service medical center offering specialized surgical and diagnostic services to a greatly expanded Central Florida population. Owned and operated by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Florida Hospital Medical Center is today the fourth largest employer in the Orlando area, supporting a staff of some 700 physicians, 1,600 nurses and 2,400 technical, administrative and medical support personnel. Florida Hospital is located on a sprawling campus in Orlando, with the adjacent \"West Campus\" containing a free standing ambulatory care center and a professional office building with physician's offices and a family health center. Additionally, two satellite hospitals (Florida Hospital/Altamonte with 220 beds and Florida Hospital/Apopka with 50 beds), are located approximately 20 minutes away. A 56-bed Center for Psychiatry on the Orlando campus was completed last year, and a regional cancer center is currently under construction adjacent to Florida Hospital/Altamonte.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270353"} {"pmid": "10270378", "title": "How to pack a lot of practice in a little office.", "content": "How to pack a lot of practice in a little office.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270378"} {"pmid": "10270379", "title": "Malpractice: spotting cases that could blow up in your face.", "content": "Malpractice: spotting cases that could blow up in your face.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270379"} {"pmid": "10270380", "title": "How bad doctors dodge discipline.", "content": "How bad doctors dodge discipline.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270380"} {"pmid": "10270381", "title": "How insurers get back at high-charging doctors.", "content": "How insurers get back at high-charging doctors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270381"} {"pmid": "10270357", "title": "A productivity study.", "content": "A productivity study. Although the study did not include all of the direct and indirect activities performed in the Processing Department, the study did provide data for the following conclusions. In analyzing the activities surrounding the collection of statistical data, it was determined that the manager was required not only to supervise, but to work in a staffing position. As a result, a supervisor was employed to assist the manager in supervising the daily operation of the department. This enabled the manager to fulfill the responsibility of overall direction of the Processing area. This study was a vehicle for building and maintaining pride and enthusiasm toward the achievement of high levels of performance in the department. The study was an instrument for establishing operational standards. By conducting a time study in each area, an exact amount of time required for decontamination, instrument processing and case cart assembly was determined. A specific time was determined for each activity, thereby providing a workload index. The study was the catalyst for developing an instrument manual with diagrams of instrument trays for increased accuracy and efficiency. Productivity studies play a significant role in establishing credibility between employee and employer in that both can establish mutual goals. Once performance is defined by measurable criteria, steps can be taken to focus on methods of improving productivity.

Specially designed software packages exist to generate variance estimates for statistics from complex survey data. The variance estimation techniques used include balanced repeated replication, jackknife, and Taylor series linearization. Many complex surveys generate thousands of tables. The computational and publishing costs soar if estimates of standard error are required for all statistics. To decrease these costs, several alternative techniques to approximate the standard errors of estimates are available. These include the widely used relative variance curve, a method based on the average relative standard error, and the average design effect model.

Professor Havighurst argues that legal rules under which practitioners have challenged denials of hospital admitting privileges should be clarified in order that hospitals can more effectively carry out their new cost-containment and other responsibilities. He invokes antitrust law's \"essential-facilities\" doctrine to protect those abused by their competitors on a hospital staff, but he contends that, if a hospital participates in decisionmaking as an independent actor--even though it acts in concert with its physicians--, antitrust courts should lower the level of scrutiny to a point at which most challenges can be dismissed summarily.

As the cost of providing health-care benefits skyrockets, employers have begun to reduce or even to terminate health-care and life insurance benefits for retirees, often with little awareness of the possible repercussions. Retiree groups and unions have countered these actions with claims based on such theories as the \"status benefits\" argument--that retirement benefits should be viewed as earned compensation for years of service--or the \"vested rights\" view--that retirement rights may not be altered without the pensioner's consent. Crucial to these conflicts are the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. Case law indicates that employers can never feel themselves fully protected even if the agreement contains provisions explicitly stating the benefits' scope and duration. The authors demonstrate this point in their review of recent retiree benefits cases. They then explore in detail the problem of contract and document ambiguity, and offer guidelines for ascertaining intent.

This paper examines the relationship between alcohol control measures, alcohol consumption and selected indicators of alcohol related harm in fifteen countries of Europe and in Israel. A public health perspective on alcohol problems is developed in which alcohol related consequences, both positive and negative, are seen as emerging from the interaction of alcohol itself, the individuals who consume it and the physical and social environment. Consequently, a range of alcohol control and prevention measures is examined, some aimed at the availability of alcohol, other at those who drink alcohol and yet other at the environments in which drinking takes place and problems emerge. A rudimentary scale of alcohol control policy is presented, from which a classification of European countries in terms of alcohol control status is possible. Per capita alcohol consumption and liver cirrhosis mortality data in these countries are examined cross-sectionally and over time. These indicate that cross-sectionally there is, in general, a clear relationship between the alcohol control status of European countries and both per capita alcohol consumption and liver cirrhosis mortality. However, from a time series view there are some interesting exceptions to this general observation. Nonetheless, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that alcohol control and prevention measures are effective at controlling alcohol consumption and preventing the adverse consequences of drinking. Some considerations about alcohol control policy in Europe other than the control of availability are presented.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270614"} {"pmid": "10270593", "title": "Volunteers: unleashing their potential.", "content": "Volunteers: unleashing their potential.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270593"} {"pmid": "10270594", "title": "Parking headaches?

The association between morbidity and mortality indicators and low socio-economic status has been observed for many centuries. In 1980 the publication of the Black Report in Britain drew attention to the failure of the National Health Service to close the gap between rich and poor in relation to health status. The gradients of morbidity and mortality which are linked to social class have been observed throughout Europe, in the U.S.A. and Australia. However, information on how people feel, as opposed to how they become ill, and the cause of their death, is scarce. Measures of perceived need can provide important additions to routinely collected data because they give access to the experiential status of respondents and thus provide vital data on which to base planning, provision and evaluation of health services. A standard reliable and valid measure of perceived health, the Nottingham Health Profile, was used to conduct a postal survey of differential status in subjective health between social classes in England. The results showed statistically significant differences between social classes in the age group 20-44 years only. For both men and women these were in their experience of sleep problems, emotional problems and lack of energy. In all cases the lower the social class the greater the amount and severity of perceived distress. After the age of 45 these differences, although still present, were not so marked, perhaps because of the excess mortality rates in lower socio-economic groups and the lowering of expectations with age. It is suggested that younger people from unskilled and semi-skilled occupations and, of course, the unemployed, are more vulnerable than their better off compatriots because of a kind of psychic susceptibility which is a consequence of social circumstances and the inability to cushion the effects of ill health. A type of Marxian \"immiseration' may occur whereby in contemporary society health status is undermined by spiritual and social impoverishment rather than by the gross poverty and grinding labour of the past. The results of this study indicate that changes in the allocation of health care resources may have only a minor influence on inequalities in health. Remedial action would, rather, need to take the more radical form of providing fulfillment for aspirations and enhancing well-being by introducing fundamental social, economic and environmental reforms.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270615"} {"pmid": "10270616", "title": "Failures of the hospital financing system of the Federal Republic of Germany and reform proposals.", "content": "Failures of the hospital financing system of the Federal Republic of Germany and reform proposals. This paper deals with an economic analysis of the present hospital financing system of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the first section normative criteria for the evaluation of hospital systems are established. The most important objectives are: a medically appropriate hospital care, an efficient production of services and adequate hospital care for everyone. The imminent conflicts between individual and social value systems on the one hand and between allocative and distributive objectives on the other hand are pointed out. The second section contains a short description of the most important elements of a hospital financing system: first the method of coordination of supply and demand. Since pure market systems are rejected as the only mechanism for the coordination of hospital care, other coordination systems must be applied. There are in principle two alternative systems at one's disposal: regulation of the hospital care by public authorities or negotiations between hospitals and financiers. Second, it is analysed how the financial burden can be shared amongst the patient and the various third party financing institutions such as statutory health funds, private insurance companies and public budgets. Third, the modes of reimbursement are discussed. It is pointed out, that besides the problem of how the hospital performance should be measured and how the level of prices of the services should be determined, the distribution of the production risks is the central matter in hospital reimbursement. The more hospitals have to undetake financial risks, the greater the incentives are for an efficient production of services. The third section contains a description of the main failures of the German hospital financing system. It is argued that the central public planning of capacities, which is dominated by political interests, causes excess capacities and structural disequilibria in particular sectors of hospital care. The next important failure is the division of the financial burden amongst public households and statutory health funds in spite of exclusive public planning authority. In the area of reimbursement the total cost reimbursement is criticized. The cost based public investment grants and cost based lump sum per-diem rates per patient in the area of operating cost imply incentives for an inefficient (and ineffective) production of services. The last section deals with some reform proposals which at present are being discussed. All proposals claim a regionalization of the hospital planning and a stronger participation of the hospitals and health funds concerned in the planning process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270616"} {"pmid": "10270597", "title": "Evaluating trustees: \"Who cares\"?", "content": "Evaluating trustees: \"Who cares\"?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270597"} {"pmid": "10270595", "title": "Public image: the number one PR problem.", "content": "Public image: the number one PR problem.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270595"} {"pmid": "10270617", "title": "The appropriate use of diagnostic services.

Education and patient education literature provide evidence that time spent in instruction, particularly when the student or patient is actively involved, is positively related to understanding. Time spent on other tasks is not positively related to outcomes. The way in which health professionals and patients spend their time together, however, has not been adequately researched. A system is described for assessing how patients spend their time in environments where health care is delivered. When the system was employed in a multidisciplinary diabetes clinic, it was found that almost two-thirds of patient nonwaiting time was spent in assessment. Only 20% or 12 to 15 minutes, was spent in instruction; in only four of these minutes wee patients actively involved. Although it may be common sense that people learn better when actively participating in an instructional session, these data suggest that common sense may not be common patient education practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270622"} {"pmid": "10270620", "title": "Health Agreements between the United Kingdom (UK) and other governments for the development of co-operation in the field of medicine and public health.", "content": "Health Agreements between the United Kingdom (UK) and other governments for the development of co-operation in the field of medicine and public health.

Until recently, the mechanism to gain the attention of hospital decision makers on the potential implication of pharmacists' involvement in the drug use review process was missing. However, integrating clinical pharmacy services with quality assurance activities appears to provide a mechanism to reduce patient risk and cost while maintaining the quality of patient care services provided. The department of pharmacy at The Mercy Hospital of Pittsburgh, through the hospital-wide quality assurance committee (QAC) and pharmacy evaluation committee (PEC), has developed concurrent drug the reviews. The concurrent warfarin review conducted by the department of pharmacy is described in detail to illustrate the process that is followed in the development and implementation of a concurrent drug use review. The concurrent review of warfarin was initiated and, in general, criteria were met and few variations occurred. Interventions by staff pharmacists were effective in further improving compliance with certain criteria. Although it was not proven that the incidence of hemorrhage was actually decreased, the QAC felt that such an approach would serve to decrease the likelihood of hemorrhage as warfarin therapy is initiated in the hospital. Similar drug use reviews have been developed for aminoglycosides, third-generation cephalosporins, piperacillin, cefoxitin, cefazolin, vancomycin, phenytoin, and the digoxin-quinidine interaction. The objective of these reviews is also to reduce patient risk and costs associated with drug use. Therefore, in today's hospital environment, a mechanism to improve the visibility of the pharmacist's involvement in the health care process is to integrate clinical pharmacy services with quality assurance activities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270729"} {"pmid": "10270734", "title": "The role of the schools of public health in the development of primary health care.", "content": "The role of the schools of public health in the development of primary health care. Starting with the assumption that the schools of public health can and should be major promoters of primary health care but that they have not fully utilized their potential, the paper reviews the different interpretations of primary health care and their implications for the recruitment policies, educational objectives, teaching methods and research orientation of the schools. Four interpretations (primary health care as a set of activities; as a level of care; as a strategy of organizing health services; and as a philosophy permeating the entire health care system) are identified. It is suggested that most industrialized countries already have a primary medical care system which has to be transformed into primary health care. A blueprint for this transformation is outlined. Many of the changes included in the blueprint are related to the concept of primary health care as a strategy. Schools of public health can play a major role in implementing the necessary strategic changes and in training their implementers. The training of actual primary care providers for leadership; increased emphasis on management in the curricula; and reorientation of research towards primary health care are underlined as particularly important elements in the new role of the schools of public health.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270734"} {"pmid": "10270732", "title": "Information-seeking behavior in an applied research/service delivery setting.", "content": "Information-seeking behavior in an applied research/service delivery setting.

The first step in this technique is to identify the number of patients with diagnoses for which MRI is known to be applicable. Next, each of these diagnoses is weighted according to the percent of patients who are expected to receive MRI scans versus other diagnostic modalities. Finally, the number of patients in each diagnosis is multiplied by the weighting to estimate the number of patients for whom MRI scans can be expected.

In the course of this century all industrial nations witnessed a growth in the influence of the state over the individual. Usually, state intervention in private life is justified by the state's mandate to protect the health and security of its constituents, either through general, uniform precepts such as laws or decrees, or through individual arrangements such as licences or subsidies. The principle of state protection has also long been established in the pharmaceutical sector, and entails that regulatory agencies should only approve those drugs for market use, which--according to scientific knowledge--have benefits which outweigh their potential harmful effects. Although 'the state of scientific knowledge' seems to imply that safety decisions concerning drugs are predominantly based on medical, scientific criteria, it is argued in this paper, that regulatory agencies nevertheless have wide discretionary margins, which allow for a political dimension to such decisions. For this reason it is briefly examined how drug authorities react under political pressure, i.e. when a drug has become a public problem. Additionally, the issue is considered why especially so-called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) have recently been the focus of controversy in the media. This attention has led to a situation in which it seems that regulatory agencies only accept drugs for market use with zero risk. The paper concludes by recommending that safety decisions of health authorities should involve two expert levels: in order to make precise risk assessments on the scientific level all relevant information about risks and benefits of drugs should be collated, whereas safety decisions should be taken by experts knowledgeable in the field of societal proportions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270735"} {"pmid": "10270736", "title": "Regulation and selection of patients.", "content": "Regulation and selection of patients.

Theoretical differences between the teachings of the U.S. bishops and many moral theologians have left Catholic medical professionals puzzled about whose advice to follow. Although three concepts have influenced the development of medical ethics--physicalism, ecclesiastical positivism, and personalism--the real source of disagreement is two different approaches to understanding the person: the objective and the subjective. Objectivists see persons as living organisms subject to natural laws and unique among animals because they can develop cultures, control the environment, and exercise critical thought. According to the subjective approach, persons are free subjects who transform the objective world into one of meaning. They find reality only in the culture and its social forms, arts, history, and theories. The objective approach identifies basic human needs that transcend cultures and it defends exceptionless moral norms; the subjective demands that the person be free to decide each situation's morality. Objectivity is preferable because it is supported by Catholic tradition, which trusts human reason to arrive at universal ethical truths, and leads to an ethics grounded in an understanding that is transcultural and objectively verifiable. In the future the Church's moral teachings on abortion, euthanasia, and other life issues will not change.

The comatose, the insane, the hopelessly senile, fetuses and the newborn may be accorded human dignity as well, but only because society grants it to them. Thus such dignity can be manipulated or diminished in the name of overall human progress or the common welfare. By contrast, personalist humanism holds that human dignity is rooted in \"being human\" rather than in \"doing human things.\" An individual has full human value simply by being a living person. This humanism suggests that health care providers must use their capabilities even for nonproductive patients. This may be difficult in the face of today's cost-benefit analyses.

Consequently, Catholic institute members will have Social Security taxes withheld whenever they serve with an entity not associated with the Church, that is, any entity not listed in the Official Catholic Directory. The ruling hinges on the contention that the sister could not have been \"required\" by her superiors to serve with the county hospital, since the hospital had final authority to determine who its employees would be, and that she thereby failed to qualify for the exception to Social Security withholding in Internal Revenue Code section 3121(b)(8)(A) for members of religious institutes performing service \"'required\" by their superiors.

His attentive listening and perceptive questioning, which allowed them to vent their feelings, helped the men to deal with the reality of their suffering. When they asked Christ to remain, he accepted their invitation, knowing that they needed additional support. As they broke bread together that evening, the disciples recognized Jesus, \"whereupon he vanished from their sight.\" Care givers, too, at times need to walk away from their work, not only to allow time for reflection but also to enable patients to experience God's presence. They must be alert to everything a patient says so that words meant to comfort do not cause suffering, and they must learn to recognize the subtle ways in which patients ask them to stay with them. Helping patients face the truth requires courage and the ability to help another appreciate his or her self-worth.

The nursing home can serve as an educational bridge for educators. Likewise, the university can provide practitioners an environment in which to grow and keep current in the field. This model can be adapted by any nursing home and university committed to improving the quality of life of older persons, regardless of whether they have the resources to develop the ideal teaching nursing home.

This study was designed to develop a tool for the evaluation of the clinical competence of PT students and to contribute to the definition of a construct of clinical competence. Three steps were involved in developing the evaluation tool. First, the clinical competencies required for PT practice were identified from a survey of the PT literature and professional documents. The identified clinical competencies were then validated through the analysis of a questionnaire completed by 121 physical therapists working in Edmonton, Alberta. The questionnaire results also provided a basis for determining the standards of performance by which to assess these competencies. Subsequently, an Evaluation of Clinical Competence (ECC) was designed as a behaviourally-anchored rating scale to determine, according to four standards of performance, whether a PT student could adequately perform the clinical competencies necessary to practise the profession.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270852"} {"pmid": "10270861", "title": "Diversifying volunteers for work and gain.", "content": "Diversifying volunteers for work and gain.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270861"} {"pmid": "10270860", "title": "Priority one.

This study was conducted to establish the reliablity and validity of an instrument designed to evaluate the clinical competence of physical therapy (PT) students. A criterion-referenced evaluation instrument--the Evaluation of Clinical Competence (ECC)--was developed by the investigator according to the procedures recommended in the measurement literature. This behaviourally-anchored, four-point rating scale was tested on two groups of PT students from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. In order to obtain data by which to analyze and revise the ECC, the ECC was administered to fourth-year PT students (n = 29) during their clinical placement in November 1982, according to specified instructions. The revised ECC was administered to third-year (n = 23) and fourth-year PT students (n = 25) during their clinical placements in February and March of 1983. The same instructions were followed in order to collect the necessary data to establish inter-rater reliability, concurrent validity, and construct validity of the ECC. The results of the study suggest that the ECC is a fairly reliable, valid, and practical instrument with which to assess the clinical competence of PT students.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270853"} {"pmid": "10270866", "title": "The feeding of body and soul.

The practice of using proxy respondents in health surveys has been identified as a possible cause of confusion in the literature concerning sex differences in morbidity. Specifically, it has been suggested that proxy respondents (usually female) tend to under-report illnesses of absent persons (usually male) and hence the observation that women suffer from more illness than men may simply be an artifact of this method of data collection. In order to investigate proxy effects, 50 married couples were asked to report symptoms recently experienced by their spouses as well as themselves. A high level of agreement was found between husbands and wives regarding the number and severity of symptoms experienced by each individual, despite considerable differences in health status between sub-groups. Where there was a discrepancy, it was in the direction of the proxy respondent (of either sex) over-reporting symptoms. It follows from this that, if anything, the over-use of female interviewees would tend to minimise observed sex differences in illness. Thus, the excess female morbidity found in health surveys is not attributable to proxy effects but is more likely to result from differences in the way in which men and women experience symptoms.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270876"} {"pmid": "10270877", "title": "Provider-sponsored ADSs: reducing antitrust liability after Maricopa.", "content": "Provider-sponsored ADSs: reducing antitrust liability after Maricopa.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270877"} {"pmid": "10270878", "title": "Electrical design.

There were 50 percent more deaths in the intensive care unit than on the general wards. Malignancies accounted for greater than one-third of all deaths. Lung cancer, which occurred in one of every six deaths in the department, was the single most-common diagnosis. The other leading causes of death were cirrhosis, gastrointestinal malignancies and cerebrovascular accidents. Cardiovascular mortality was somewhat less than expected. These figures reflect some of the serious diseases of the urban indigent population, which are, in turn, associated with cigarette smoking, alcoholism and hypertension.

Findings reveal that consumers view the emergency room as being more expensive than other health care providers. Except for being available or convenient, little or no advantage is perceived for the emergency room over the personal physician. Even though the emergency room has specialized staff and equipment, consumers do not believe patients receive better or faster treatment in an emergency room than would be obtained in a physician's office.

In 1982-83 we organized training schemes for various people involved in primary health care at local authority level. These schemes were part of the pattern of similar activity carried out with trained professional staff of the mother-and-child care and school health services. What was new was the participation of non-professional users (or their representatives) of health services, i.e. local politicians, representatives of associations, etc. The training sessions brought together 20-25 participants for two or three days and there were occasionally follow-up meetings of one or two days. The participants, divided into small groups of five or six, played an active part in the meetings, which were based on known information about the local authority area and the participants' own contributions. The initial task was the identification of health problems. For this to be a relevant exercise, the many political, cultural and personal factors which influence people's lives had to be considered. The fact is that the usual epidemiological data are inadequate if they are based solely on a review of symptoms and their distribution among the population as a whole. The procedure begins with the group concerned, and priority in selecting problems is decided with and within the group itself. The solutions that are required will thus be based on the experience and reasoning of the people themselves. A procedure of this type ought to show the factors which affect the community (working conditions, environment, habitat, cultural background, etc.) and which influence health. If we understand the structures of the community and the resources at its disposal, we can adapt our response accordingly. In assessing our experiment, we found that the training sessions produced a local awareness and a mutual recognition of the various participants, both professional and non-professional. Each person began to understand his limits since his role was constantly being reviewed. At the same time the requirements voiced by health care users became more apparent to the professionals with their preconceived ideas about people's needs and requirements.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270947"} {"pmid": "10270949", "title": "Progress through automation.", "content": "Progress through automation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270949"} {"pmid": "10270937", "title": "Fundraising in Canada: what's new?", "content": "Fundraising in Canada: what's new?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270937"} {"pmid": "10270934", "title": "BScN by 2000: one nurse's perspective.", "content": "BScN by 2000: one nurse's perspective.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10270934"} {"pmid": "10270948", "title": "Proposals for a prevention policy: an analysis of the French report.", "content": "Proposals for a prevention policy: an analysis of the French report.

The Report provides original elements at three conceptual levels: (i) a socio-economic model of causality of disease with a temporal, a probabilistic and a polyfactorial dimension; (ii) a social point of view brought to the concepts of health, prevention and health promotion; (iii) general principles for preventive intervention at a population level, including a breaking with the \"victim-blaming\" ideology. In this Report, work is always at the very center of the analysis developed by the commission. Practically, proposals are concerning work and environment on the one hand and structures and functional of public health services on the other hand. They may appear somewhat unrealistic or not clearly detailed. But one should understand that the commission essentially proposes an attitude of active involvement on the part of social actors rather than a list of concrete proposals.

The relationship between program planning and evaluation can be viewed as bidirectional; that is, evaluation methods, procedures, instruments, and criteria not only are determined by, but also influence, program goals and activities. Within the human services context, several factors or sources of reactivity between evaluation and program planning can be identified. These involve (a) quantification of goals and activities, (b) preferences by different audiences for various kinds of evaluation data, (c) values and evaluation criteria, and (d) evaluation requirements and resource availability. Effects of these reactive features are discussed and illustrated with examples drawn from mental health evaluation and accountability practices.

We have found that the above activities are facilitated by utilizing a computerized filing program. The computer formal provides quick, concise reports and statistical data analysis. The formation catalogued can be easily analysis. The information catalogued can be easily categorized and analyzed. The time invested in organizational meetings concerning committee membership, guideline review and creating an efficient incident coding scheme was essential to the success of the project. Problems seem to arise when several different departments share a common space for different activities. For example, medication room sanitation throughout the hospital was suboptimal probably related to the fact that Nursing, Pharmacy and General Stores all utilized the area. No individual department felt it was their sole responsibility to ensure appropriate sanitation. Through the efforts of the task force, we were able to facilitate cooperation among the departments with each doing their share. As a result, medication rooms are now cleaner, neater and therefore safer. Additional incidents have been corrected since the original tabulation of this report. A priority goal is to facilitate corrective action in a more timely manner. It is critical that surveys should not be intended to be \"white glove inspections\" with criticisms placed on specific departments. This can be accomplished by informing department managers of the intent of the surveys and by allowing staff to participate in all activities. In addition, the support and cooperation of administration is a major factor in the potential success of a program of this nature.
