Funding Fairness: Public Investment, Proprietary Rights And Access To Health Care Technology, William M. Sage
Funding Fairness: Public Investment, Proprietary Rights And Access To Health Care Technology, William M. Sage
Faculty Scholarship
In her accompanying Article, "Public Research and Private Development: Patents and Technology Transfer in Government-Sponsored Research," Professor Rebecca Eisenberg suggests that federal technology transfer policies should be reexamined in light of actual experience with patented technologies. Indeed, the relationship among federal research funding, patent law, and medical innovation has become more complicated in the years since the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act. Rising health care spending despite slowing overall economic growth has fostered the development of private sector managed care, has led to cutbacks in government support for both research and clinical services, and has increased the percentage of uninsured …
Drive-Through Deliveries: In Support Of Federal Legislation To Mandate Insurer Coverage Of Medically Sound Minimum Lengths Of Postpanum Stays For Mothers And Newborns, Freeman L. Farrow
Drive-Through Deliveries: In Support Of Federal Legislation To Mandate Insurer Coverage Of Medically Sound Minimum Lengths Of Postpanum Stays For Mothers And Newborns, Freeman L. Farrow
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
President Clinton signed the Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act of 1996 into law on September 26, 1996. The Act requires insurers that provide maternity benefits to cover medically sound minimum lengths of inpatient, postpartum stays according to the joint guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. This Note discusses the historical context in which the necessity for passage of protective legislation arose, the interplay between state and federal statutes that created the need for federal legislation to provide desired protections for postpartum patients and examines the provisions of the Act. This …

Rising Temperatures: Rising Tides, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Transboundary environmental problems do not distinguish between political boundaries. Global warming is expected to cause thermal expansion of water and melt glaciers. Both are predicted to lead to a rise in sea level. We must enlarge our paradigms to encompass a global reality and reliance upon global participation.

A Feminist Exploration Of Issues Around Assisted Death, Jocelyn Downie, Susan Sherwin
A Feminist Exploration Of Issues Around Assisted Death, Jocelyn Downie, Susan Sherwin
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Although a great deal of public attention has recently been focused on issues around assisted death remarkably little of it has come from an explicitly feminist perspective. This is a serious omission at a time when legislators are feeling pressure to review and perhaps revise existing policies on assisted death, and when the policies they contemplate may have a significant negative and disproportionate impact on women. We think it is essential that there be some discussion of these issues from an explicitly feminist perspective in order to ensure that concerns about the oppression of women become part of the public …
Foreword: Nonfinancial Barriers To Health Care, Thomas Wm. Mayo
Foreword: Nonfinancial Barriers To Health Care, Thomas Wm. Mayo
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Health care policy traditionally has been seen as a three-legged stool. Three interdependent variables-cost, quality, and access-have largely defined the domain of health policy. Ignore one of the variables, and the stool topples. It is not surprising, therefore, that health care policymakers have tended to view the problem of access to health care resources primarily in economic terms. Economic analysis of the access problem is useful because it gives policymakers a common methodology, vocabulary, and set of analytical tools that provide insights into the related problems of cost containment and quality, as well as the access issue. This in turn …

What Is Experimental Medical Treatment: A Legislative Definition Is Needed, Melody L. Harness
What Is Experimental Medical Treatment: A Legislative Definition Is Needed, Melody L. Harness
Cleveland State Law Review
This note focuses on the highly publicized coverage disputes involving HDCr/ABMT for the treatment of breast cancer to illustrate the problems inherent in courts judging medical technology and legislatures politicizing medical technology. The problems exist, however, with respect to every developing medical technology for which there is no consensus on its safety and effectiveness. Part II of this note depicts the typical scenario involving a patient with metastatic breast cancer. Part III outlines the drug approval process and off-label drug use. Part IV describes HDCT/ABMT treatment and discusses the lack of consensus regarding its efficacy for the treatment of breast …
Drive-Through Deliveries: Indiscriminate Postpartum Early Discharge Practices Presently Necessitate Legislation Mandating Minimum Inpatient Hospital Stays, Tracy Wilson Smirnoff
Drive-Through Deliveries: Indiscriminate Postpartum Early Discharge Practices Presently Necessitate Legislation Mandating Minimum Inpatient Hospital Stays, Tracy Wilson Smirnoff
Cleveland State Law Review
"Drive-through deliveries," women delivering their babies and leaving the hospital only a few hours, rather than days, later are increasingly becoming the standard of care in the United States. This Note argues that legislation mandating minimum inpatient postpartum hospital stays is presently the best possible solution to the overreaching control MCOs have over doctors, the standard of care, and the length of hospital stays based on their willingness to cover treatment. Part H of this Note reviews the development of postpartum care during the twentieth century. This section also discusses the reasoning for the concerns regarding the early discharge of …
Informed Consent And Patients' Rights In Japan, Robert B. Leflar
Informed Consent And Patients' Rights In Japan, Robert B. Leflar
Robert B Leflar
This article analyzes the development of the concept of informed consent in the context of the culture and economics of Japanese medicine, and locates that development within the framework of the nation's civil law system. Part II sketches the cultural foundations of medical paternalism in Japan; explores the economic incentives (many of them administratively directed) that have sustained physicians' traditional dominant roles; and describes the judiciary's hesitancy to challenge physicians' professional discretion. Part III delineates the forces testing the paternalist model: the undermining of the physicians' personal knowledge of their patients that accompanies the shift from neighborhood clinic to high-tech …
