The Changing Focus Of Peer Review Under Medicare, Peter M. Mellette Jan 1986

The Changing Focus Of Peer Review Under Medicare, Peter M. Mellette

University of Richmond Law Review

Consumers today rely on both physicians and the federal government for health care services. A consumer/patient's visit to a physician is the usual method of access to such services. After examining the patient, the physician will typically send the patient home with a prescription for medication or refer the patient for admission to an appropriate health care provider, such as a hospital. In either instance, the patient incurs medical bills. If the patient is age sixty-five or older, the federal government probably pays for most of those bills through the Medicare program.


Products Liability: The Continued Viability Of The Learned Intermediary Rule As It Applies To Product Warnings For Prescription Drugs, Barbara Pope Flannagan Jan 1986

Products Liability: The Continued Viability Of The Learned Intermediary Rule As It Applies To Product Warnings For Prescription Drugs, Barbara Pope Flannagan

University of Richmond Law Review

Judicial decisions, as well as statutory enactments, have removed many of the traditional stumbling blocks which formerly hampered an injured plaintiff's recovery against the manufacturer of a defective product. Concomitantly, the past few decades have seen a dramatic increase in the number of product liability suits brought by injured consumers directly against manufacturers. These product liability suits have involved the full range of manufactured products and have proceeded under three basic theories of recovery. While no single type of product, either because of its use or purpose, has been immune from products liability suits, some types of products have special …

Quality-Of-Life Ethics And Constitutional Jurisprudence: The Demise Of Natural Rights And Equal Protection For The Disabled And Incompetent, Robert A. Destro Jan 1986

Quality-Of-Life Ethics And Constitutional Jurisprudence: The Demise Of Natural Rights And Equal Protection For The Disabled And Incompetent, Robert A. Destro

Scholarly Articles

Part I of this article will attempt to identify some of the basic legal issues in the debate over the rights of the disabled and aged to minimal health care and nourishment. Part II will argue that the practice of defining the rights of the person functionally, rather than as a matter of principle, is an old one which had largely been eliminated after the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, but that it is now resurgent in some quarters as a means to an end which would be impossible were the definition to be based on an explicit principle of …

Provider-Sponsored Alternative Health Care Delivery Systems: Reducing Antitrust Liability After Maricopa, James H. Walsh, Howard Feller Jan 1985

Provider-Sponsored Alternative Health Care Delivery Systems: Reducing Antitrust Liability After Maricopa, James H. Walsh, Howard Feller

University of Richmond Law Review

The phenomenal rate of inflation experienced by the health care industry in the past several years has been a substantial cause of concern for everyone affected-physicians, hospitals, insurers, employers and consumers. Public reaction to the tremendous increase in health care costs has created pressure on health care providers to compete on the basis of price and to deliver services more efficiently. The recent growth of alternative health care delivery systems (ADSs) has been a direct response to a number of problems created by increasing health care costs including increased competition in health care delivery, resistance by payors and consumers to …


The Evidentiary Use Of The Hla Blood Test In Virginia, Linda L. Lemmon, Lynn K. Murphy Jan 1985

The Evidentiary Use Of The Hla Blood Test In Virginia, Linda L. Lemmon, Lynn K. Murphy

University of Richmond Law Review

In 1966 Virginia enacted legislation, now section 20-61.2 of the Code of Virginia, providing for the admission into evidence of the results of blood tests in cases involving questions of paternity. In 1982, a second statute, section 20-61.1 of the Code of Virginia, was amended to permit the use of genetic blood grouping tests, including the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) test, as evidence of paternity in child support proceedings. With the enactment of these two statutes, Virginia has joined a growing number of states which recognize the accuracy and reliability of the HLA test in establishing paternity.


Medical Malpractice Review Panels In Operation In Virginia, William H. Daughtrey Jr., Charles H. Smith Jan 1985

Medical Malpractice Review Panels In Operation In Virginia, William H. Daughtrey Jr., Charles H. Smith

University of Richmond Law Review

The last major revision of Virginia statutes relating to medical malpractice was in 1976. At that time the General Assembly provided for medical malpractice review panels and mandated a method of reporting medical malpractice claims. These innovations were in response to a perceived medical malpractice crisis in the mid-1970's. A symptom of the crisis was the astronomical rise in the cost of medical malpractice insurance premiums. This increase plagued patients as well as physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers. The higher premiums, of course, were reflected in fees for services rendered by providers. In addition, providers began to practice …

Australia’S Frozen ‘Orphan’ Embryos: A Medical, Legal And Ethical Dilemma, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1985

Australia’S Frozen ‘Orphan’ Embryos: A Medical, Legal And Ethical Dilemma, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

The central issues raised here are whether the two frozen embryos have a legal right to 1) live and be implanted in a surrogate mother, and, when and if they are born, 2) assert inheritance rights in the Rios' estate. Equally important is the question of the extent to which research into the new reproductive technologies should be allowed or restricted.
