Risk Adjusting And Setting Capitation Rates For Children: Including Versus Excluding Children With Special Health Care Needs From Participation In Managed Care Arrangements, Kristina Yvette Risley Gupta

All ETDs from UAB

Objectives . (1) To identify and describe four groups of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) using definitions that represent various groups of special needs children who are, or who have been recommended to be, carved-out of participation in managed care plans. (2) To examine how total, mean, and median annual health care expenditures differ based on the definition for CSHCN used. (3) To assess the capacity of several risk adjusters, including age, gender, CSHCN group to which children belong, and the Ambulatory Diagnostic Groups (ADGs) to predict annual expenditures for healthy children and for the groups of CSHCN. …

La Prévention Primaire Des Maux De Dos Dans Le Secteur De La Construction : Une Recension Des Écrits, Michèle Gervais

États de la question, rapports d’expertise et revues de littérature

Le secteur de la construction possède des caractéristiques uniques dans l'industrie: des lieux de travail et un environnement en constante évolution, une main d'œuvre mobile, une majorité d'entreprises peu structurées, beaucoup de petits employeurs et de sous-traitants, une grande diversité des partenaires, des enjeux économiques complexes, tous ces aspects et d'autres font de la construction un secteur très particulier. Son profil de santé et sécurité du travail est aussi différent: on y enregistre le plus grand nombre de décès liés au travail dans l'ensemble des activités économiques, le nombre d'accidents est élevé et les maux de dos constituent une préoccupation …

Relation Entre L'Exposition Au Styrène Et Les Effets Sur La Santé : Analyse Critique De La Littérature, Adolf Vyskocil, Claude Viau, Jules Brodeur, Michel Gérin

États de la question, rapports d’expertise et revues de littérature

L'absorption du styrène se fait principalement par inhalation et, moindrement, par voie cutanée. Le styrène est métabolisé principalement en 7,8-époxyde (oxyde de styrène) par le système des oxydases à fonction mixte. D'un point de vue cinétique, l'exposition d'animaux de laboratoire à des niveaux croissants de styrène résulte en la saturation progressive des voies métaboliques. Ainsi, le métabolisme du styrène est saturé au-dessus de 426-852 mg/m^³ chez I'humain, selon le degré d'activité physique. Ceci a pour conséquence d'augmenter la proportion de styrène inchangé qui s'accumule dans les graisses.

Chez l'humain, le temps de demi-vie pour l'élimination du styrène dans le …

Three Positivisms, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this article, I accept and hope to expand upon the conventional consensus view that The Path of the Law is a brief for an Americanized version of Austinian legal positivism and for the "separation" of law and morality that is at its core. I also want to show, however, that the distinctive accomplishment of this Essay is its literary ambiguity: Both its explicit arguments for the positivist separation of law and morality, and the three enduring metaphors Holmes uses to make the case -- (1) the "bad man" from whose perspective we can clearly view the law; (2) the …

Universalism, Liberal Theory, And The Problem Of Gay Marriage, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Liberalism, both contemporary and classical, rests at heart on a theory of human nature, and at the center of that theory lies one core commitment: all human beings, qua human beings, are essentially rational. There are two equally important implications. The first we might call the "universalist" assumption: all human beings, not just some, are rational -- not just white people, men, freemen, property owners, aristocrats, or citizens, but all of us. In this central, defining respect, then, we are all the same: we all share in this universal, natural, human trait. The second implication, we might call the "individualist" …

Law On Pollution And Debris From Oil And Gas Drilling And Production Operations Offshore Nova Scotia, Boris B. De Jonge

LLM Theses

This thesis examines international and domestic law relating to pollution from offshore oil and gas operations in the Nova Scotia offshore area. The domestic regulatory regime is not integrated, but is contained in various acts. The three main acts deal respectively with ships, including mobile offshore drilling and production units (the 'Canada Shipping Act'); fisheries protection (the 'Fisheries Act'); and the industrial aspects of offshore oil and gas operations (the federal 'Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act'; there is a corresponding provincial act which is essentially identical). These acts are administered by separate regulatory agencies. This results in …

What A Wonderful World: Multilateral Chemical Management Conventions, Liberalisation Policies And The Chemical Industry, Robin Lynne Cowling

LLM Theses

This thesis begins with an examination of the context of risk in which multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) are being drafted and implemented. Through a discussion of the relationship between the characteristics of multinational corporations and the phenomenon of globalisation, the impetus behind globalisation practices is revealed. This is then contextualised with an examination of the contribution of the chemical industry toward the parallel globalisations of production and environmental harm. A discussion of trade and investment liberalisation instruments is then undertaken to illustrate the current hierarchy between these instruments and MEAs. This analysis reveals the present incompatibility of these instruments and …

A Matter Of Balancing: The Inability To Force Treatment On All Voluntary, Treatment-Incapable Patients In Ontario, Cindy L. Blancher

LLM Theses

This thesis concentrates on the question of whether or not voluntary, treatment incapable patients who have had their treatment consented to by a substitute decision-maker can be involuntarily treated. It is my opinion that under the current legislative scheme in Ontario the restraint of a voluntary, treatment incapable patient for the purposes of treatment is illegal subject to the following exceptions: (a) a guardianship order exists that contains authority to restrain and detain; or (b) a Power of Attorney for Personal Care has been executed by the now treatment incapable individual authorizing his substitute decision-maker to have him detained and …

Preventing Insider Misappropriation Of Not-For-Profit Health Care Provider Assets: A Federal Tax Law Prescription, John F. Coverdale

Washington Law Review

Not-for-profit health care providers are converting to for-profit status on an unprecedented scale. Directors and officers have too frequently taken advantage of the conversions to misappropriate the organizations' assets. Common law remedies have proven inadequate, and many states have no specific statutory remedies. The state statutory remedies that have been enacted range from fairly comprehensive to quite inadequate. Not-for-profit health providers are generally also subject to the federal tax rules governing tax-exempt organizations. Until recently, however, the only sanction available to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was to revoke the organization's tax-exempt status. The IRS rarely invoked this remedy both …

Book Review, Daniel H. Foote

Book Reviews

Professor Frank K. Upham's Law and Social Change in Postwar Japan represents a major contribution to Western understanding of the process of legal change in Japan. In four excellent case studies spanning subject matters as diverse as the treatment of minorities and industrial planning, Upham reveals a legal culture of considerable complexity, which challenges simple generalizations. From this material, Upham seeks to derive a number of central themes. Certain of these themes are insightful and solidly supported by Upham's own case studies and other materials on Japanese law. Other themes are more speculative, raising the danger that many of the …

Integrating Rti Service With Primary Health Care, Population Council

Reproductive Health

The reproductive health (RH) movement worldwide has brought reproductive tract infections (RTIs) under sharp focus as an urgent health need of women. While RTIs are preventable or treatable, they are often the cause of infertility, ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer, fetal loss, low birth-weight infants, infant blindness, and neonatal pneumonia. The adverse health effects of RTIs, particularly STIs, is much higher for women than men. Recent research has demonstrated that RTIs are closely linked to other areas of health care like family planning (FP), safe motherhood, child survival, and HIV prevention. Hence, each could significantly contribute to the reduction and control …

Clinic-Based Family Planning And Reproductive Health Services In Africa: Findings From Situation Analysis Studies, Kate Miller, Robert A. Miller, Ian Askew, Marjorie C. Horn, Lewis Ndhlovu

Reproductive Health

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) supported publication of “Clinic-Based Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services in Africa: Findings from Situation Analysis Studies.” The book reflects USAID's commitment to improving quality of reproductive health (RH) care and expanding access for underserved groups. Nowhere are these efforts more important than in Africa, where use of family planning (FP) and other measures of RH status are lowest among the world’s regions. Providing high-quality health services that meet couples' reproductive needs is a socially just and humane goal in itself. Moreover, higher-quality services can be expected to result in better outcomes …

Assessing The Quality Of Reproductive Health Services, Raeda Al Qutob, Salah Mawajdeh, Laila Nawar, Salama Saidi, Firas Raad

Reproductive Health

This paper offers a broad definition of quality of care and presents a comprehensive conceptual framework for the assessment of quality of reproductive health services and methodological approaches for its measurement. It presents three studies that were conducted between 1990 and 1991 by members of the regional Reproductive Health Working Group from Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia. The studies provide examples of applications of the framework and its measurement using multiple data sources. Selected findings are presented to illustrate comparative results between countries. Based on the lessons learned from the studies, examples of reproductive health interventions that may improve the quality …

Advances And Challenges In Postabortion Care Operations Research: Summary Report Of A Global Meeting, Dale Huntington

Reproductive Health

The Global Meeting on Postabortion Care: Advances and Challenges in Operations Research was held at the Population Council’s New York office on January 19–21, 1998, to review progress made by three regional operations research (OR) projects in improving delivery of postabortion care. The resources of the three OR contracts were pooled, and, in collaboration with Ipas and the Ebert Program, approximately 65 researchers, senior program managers, and government officials from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia were convened. Three objectives guided the planning of the meeting: review progress in the development of OR methodologies pertaining to postabortion …
