Kautilya On The Scope And Methodology Of Accounting, Organizational Design And The Role Of Ethics In Ancient India, Balbir S. Sihag Jan 2004

Kautilya On The Scope And Methodology Of Accounting, Organizational Design And The Role Of Ethics In Ancient India, Balbir S. Sihag

Accounting Historians Journal

Kautilya, a 4th century B.C.E. economist, recognized the importance of accounting methods in economic enterprises. He realized that a proper measurement of economic performance was absolutely essential for efficient allocation of resources, which was considered an important source of economic development. He viewed philosophy and political science as separate disciplines but considered accounting an integral part of economics. He specified a very broad scope for accounting and considered explanation and prediction as its proper objectives. Kautilya developed bookkeeping rules to record and classify economic data, emphasized the critical role of independent periodic audits and proposed the establishment of two important …

The Civil Justice System And The Public Project: Family Court- Coast To Coast, Mary Stratton, James Cresswell, Cam Schwartz, Graham Statt, Mary Stratton, Lily Tsui Jan 2004

The Civil Justice System And The Public Project: Family Court- Coast To Coast, Mary Stratton, James Cresswell, Cam Schwartz, Graham Statt, Mary Stratton, Lily Tsui

Canadian Forum on Civil Justice

The Civil Justice System and the Public is a collaborative research program founded on the belief that a lack of effective communication both within the system and between that system and the public, is a significant barrier interfering with access to justice. This research is designed to involve both the public and the justice community in identifying changes in communication practice that will improve the system. The goal of the project is to make specific and clear recommendations for effective change that will ultimately improve access to the civil justice system by increasing the ability of the system to hear, …

The Relation Between Autonomy-Based Rights And Profoundly Mentally Disabled Persons, Norman L. Cantor Jan 2004

The Relation Between Autonomy-Based Rights And Profoundly Mentally Disabled Persons, Norman L. Cantor

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

A chapter from his forthcoming book "Deciding for the Profoundly Mentally Disabled," Professor Norman Cantor argues persuasively for the right of incompetent persons to have a surrogate make critical medical decisions on their behalf, particularly in the context of refusing life-sustaining treatment. While abusive surrogate decisionmaking is always a concern, Professor Cantor recommends both substantive and procedural protections in order to preserve intrinsic human dignity for the profoundly disabled.

Damned If They Do, Damned If They Don't: The Need For A Comprehensive Public Policy To Address The Inadequate Management Of Pain, Amy J. Dilcher Jan 2004

Damned If They Do, Damned If They Don't: The Need For A Comprehensive Public Policy To Address The Inadequate Management Of Pain, Amy J. Dilcher

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Amy Dilcher examines the need for a comprehensive pain policy and argues that opioids-highly effective drugs for pain management-should be legally and practicably accessible to medical professionals and their patients, as and when needed to provide relief from pain. The article synthesizes a number of perspectives regarding the regulation of pain management and demonstrates that the inadequate treatment of pain stems from a multitude of barriers. After reviewing Congressional action on the topic, Ms. Dilcher concludes with recommendations for a more comprehensive pain policy that would enhance the management of pain.

"Just Say No!": The Right To Refuse Psychotropic Medication In Long-Term Care Facilities, George P. Smith Ii Jan 2004

"Just Say No!": The Right To Refuse Psychotropic Medication In Long-Term Care Facilities, George P. Smith Ii

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

This article examines the rights of patients, particularly incompetent patients, in longterm care facilities to refuse psychotropic medication. In exploring this topic, the author focuses on the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 which was part of a Congressional solution to afford greater protection to residents of long-term care facilities. Because the legislation has not lived up to expectations, the author advocates for further legislative action to protect the dwindling bundle of rights of the elderly.


Comparing Ethics Education In Medicine And Law: Combining The Best Of Both Worlds, Erin A. Egan, Kayhan Parsi, Cynthia Ramirez Jan 2004

Comparing Ethics Education In Medicine And Law: Combining The Best Of Both Worlds, Erin A. Egan, Kayhan Parsi, Cynthia Ramirez

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

This article compares various models of ethics education and how these models are employed by both medical schools and law schools. The authors suggest ways in which each profession can enhance their ethical teaching and argue that ethics education in both medicine and law should combine the best elements of each education model, thereby producing graduates who are more knowledgeable and appreciative of ethical issues in practice.


Considerations In Medicare Reform: The Impact Of Medicare Preemption On State Laws, Michael J. Jackonis Jr. Jan 2004

Considerations In Medicare Reform: The Impact Of Medicare Preemption On State Laws, Michael J. Jackonis Jr.

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

This article explores the key issues involved in understanding the impact of Medicare preemption on state laws affecting the federal purchase of managed care products, as a consideration in future Medicare reform. Author Commander Jackonis argues that any further Medicare reform must address the impact of federal preemption on quality and quantity of care purchased in order to ensure the existence of a market of product providers, as well as to ensure protection of patient rights and benefits.


Independent Medical Review: Expanding Legal Remedies To Achieve Managed Care Accountability, Leatrice Berman-Sandler Jan 2004

Independent Medical Review: Expanding Legal Remedies To Achieve Managed Care Accountability, Leatrice Berman-Sandler

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Author Leatrice Berman-Sandier reports on independent medical review (IMR), a state-based statutory remedy used to resolve disputes over coverage between patients and their health plans. Ms. Berman-Sandler explores the connection between ERISA preemption and IMR, and opines that in light of recent Supreme Court decisions, the stage has been set for expansion of IMR. Accordingly, Ms. Berman-Sandler concludes that there are strong legal and policy reasons for state legislatures to broaden the application of IMR and for the Court to continue to narrow ERISA preemption in order to increase accountability in the managed care arena.


A Dutch Perspective: The Limits Of Lawful Euthanasia, Ubaldus Dr Vries Jan 2004

A Dutch Perspective: The Limits Of Lawful Euthanasia, Ubaldus Dr Vries

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Dutch author Ubaldus de Vries reviews the current state of the euthanasia law in the Netherlands. The legislation, enacted in 2001, creates a medical exception that allows for euthanasia in cases where patients experience "hopeless and unbearable suffering." A brief history of the Dutch approach to euthanasia is set forth, case law is reviewed, and the unique role of the doctor is examined in seeking to understand the extent of one's right to euthanasia in the Netherlands. Because the courts must determine what constitutes "hopeless and unbearable suffering," Professor de Vries analyzes the judicial interpretation of "suffering" and concludes that …

Will The Supreme Court Finally Eliminate Erisa Preemption?, David L. Trueman Jan 2004

Will The Supreme Court Finally Eliminate Erisa Preemption?, David L. Trueman

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

David Trueman's article reviews the history of ERISA preemption by analyzing seminal Supreme Court cases and predicts the future of ERISA preemption in his analysis of recent federal case law. Traditionally, the ability to hold a managed care entity responsible for its actions has been hampered by a strict interpretation of the preemption clauses of ERISA but as the Supreme Court's jurisprudence has evolved and loosened, several federal courts have allowed suits against managed care companies to go forward. Conflict among the federal circuits has arisen and the Supreme Court has granted certiorari to two cases from Texas in order …


Breaking Through The Silence: Illegality Of Performing Resuscitation Procedures On The "Newly-Dead", Daniel Sperling Jan 2004

Breaking Through The Silence: Illegality Of Performing Resuscitation Procedures On The "Newly-Dead", Daniel Sperling

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Israeli author Daniel Sperling brings to a light a disturbing practice that is taking place in some teaching hospitals throughout the world - the practice of resuscitation procedures on newly dead patients without the consent of the next-of-kin. Mr. Sperling examines some of the policies and procedures in place to prevent such practice and also looks at the ethical principles that should guide such procedures. The paper also reviews the general issue of consent in the context of medical decision-making and discusses potential legal claims that might be available to persons who have not been consulted or informed before such …
