Healthcare Communication Networks: The Dissemination Of Employee Information For Hospital Security, Jennifer Sumner Jan 2008

Healthcare Communication Networks: The Dissemination Of Employee Information For Hospital Security, Jennifer Sumner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Healthcare in the United States is a system that, organizationally speaking, is fragmented. Each hospital facility is independently operated and is responsible for the hiring of its own employees. However, corrupt individuals can take advantage of this fragmentation and move from hospital to hospital, gaining employment while hiding previous employment history. Traditionally, hospitals have been reluctant to share information on their previous employees, even with other hospitals, for fear of issues surrounding defamation, negligent hiring, and violation of the employee's privacy. However, growth in healthcare services is expected to rise exponentially in the near future, increasing the demand for employees. …

Methods Of International Human Rights Adjudication: Towards A More Structured Decision-Making Process For The European Court Of Human Rights, Stefan Sottiaux, Gerhard Van Der Schyff Jan 2008

Methods Of International Human Rights Adjudication: Towards A More Structured Decision-Making Process For The European Court Of Human Rights, Stefan Sottiaux, Gerhard Van Der Schyff

UC Law SF International Law Review

An international tribunal such as the European Court of Human Rights is often lauded for its protection of human rights. Yet, there is room for improvement. The Court's adjudication style would benefit from more structured balancing of competing interests. Not only would greater structure serve to enhance the Court's efficiency and promote legal certainty, but it would also help to clarify the Court's subsidiary role in relation to national authorities when it comes to the protection of human rights. In bringing more structure to the Court's decision-making process, inspiration can be drawn from the debate regarding the balancing/categorization continuum to …


Broadcast Profanity And The Right To Be Let Alone: Can The Fcc Regulate Non-Indecent Fleeting Expletives Under A Privacy Model, Edward L. Carter, R. Trevor Hall, James C. Phillips Jan 2008

Broadcast Profanity And The Right To Be Let Alone: Can The Fcc Regulate Non-Indecent Fleeting Expletives Under A Privacy Model, Edward L. Carter, R. Trevor Hall, James C. Phillips

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This manuscript examines the issue of broadcast profanity regulation in light of the Supreme Court's March 2008 decision to grant certiorari in an appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Second Circuit in 2007 held that the FCC was arbitrary and capricious in its decision to begin prohibiting single profanities, or fleeting expletives, on broadcast television. However, the common law of nuisance and the law of privacy may provide justification for the FCC to regulate broadcast profanity under 18 U.S.C. § 1464. Although some argue that regulating broadcast profanity would induce a chilling effect on …
