Health Plan Quality: Factors Influencing Hospital Participation In Health Plans, Robert Latimer Barber

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The professional and popular literatures are full of reports of surveys and studies purporting to rate health plans. Health maintenance organizations and other organizations are surveying member satisfaction. Accreditation of health plans is receiving increased attention. Interest is growing in plans' performance in the areas measured by the Health Plan Employers' Data and Information Set (HEDIS). The factors measured in current ratings and accreditation systems are not important to hospitals for evaluating health plan participation. There are factors in a health plan's performance that are important to and either beneficial or detrimental to hospitals. This paper proposes factors upon which …

Bulletproofing The Workplace: Symbol And Substance In Employment Discrimination Law Practice, Susan Bisom-Rapp

Faculty Scholarship

This Article examines how employment lawyers representing management play a role in creating data and affect the perception of employment disputes. More specifically, it explores how defense lawyers attempt to strategically position employers to safeguard these clients against discrimination and other employment-related litigation. A primary focus of their advice is on producing an evidentiary record that an employer can use defensively should the need ever arise. Defense attorneys, therefore, counsel employers to implement and carefully administer standardized employee evaluation systems and train supervisors how to write up and terminate employees without running afoul of the law.

Beyond Yucca Mountain: Split Liability Drives Action For Interim Nuclear Waste Storage, Amy L. Stein

UF Law Faculty Publications

After fifteen years and six billion dollars, the United States still lacks a viable long-term solution to the mounting levels of high-level nuclear waste scattered across the nation in 68 sites. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (“NWPA”) and its 1987 Amendments have driven regulators to approve Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for burial of the 37,000 metric tons of nuclear waste in need of a final resting place. In the NWPA, Congress set January 31, 1998 as the deadline by which the Department of Energy (“DOE”) was to dispose of the utilities' nuclear waste. However, litigation challenges, scientific uncertainty, and …

Testing The Servqual Scale In The Business-To-Business Sector: The Case Of Ocean Freight Shipping Service, Srinivas Durvasula, Steven Lysonski, Subhash Mehta

Marketing Faculty Research and Publications

A key question is whether the instruments developed for consumer services can accurately gauge the service quality perceptions of organisational customers. Reports psychometric testing of the SERVQUAL as a measure of service quality in ocean freight services. Based on a survey of a cross-sectional sample of 114 business organisations in Singapore, which regularly utilise ocean freight services for their export needs, this study found that the psychometric properties of the SERVQUAL scale are at variance with those found in consumer services settings. Further, the SERVQUAL perceptions scores were found to be a better predictor than the SERVQUAL gap scores. In …

The Disability Kaleidoscope, Mary Crossley

Articles

The question of whom our society truly wants to protect from adverse discrimination based on bodily difference is ultimately a question for the body politic. The aim of this article, by contrast, is to use the analytical tools provided by scholars in the field of disability studies to scrutinize how lawmakers to date have understood the concept of impairment as one form of bodily difference. By viewing administrative and judicial treatments of impairment through a disability studies lens, I have sought to give the disability kaleidoscope a turn and thus to provide the reader with an altered view of impairment …

Poor Performance Of Health And Population Welfare Programmes In Sindh: Case Studies In Governance Failure, Mehtab S. Karim, Shehla Zaidi

Community Health Sciences

Over the past few years, the issue of what is meant by “good governance” has generated increasing attention and debate both at the national and international level [Streeten (1997)]. The role of state and how that role is to be exercised is appearing high on the agenda of politicians, policy-makers and academicians in the developing world. Governance has been defined by the World Bank as “the manner in which power is exercised in the management of the country’s economic and social resources” [World Bank (1994)]. The somewhat narrow scope of this definition has been broadened in recent years to “the …

Antitrust Policy: A Century Of Economic And Legal Thinking, William E. Kovacic, Carl Shapiro

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

Passage of the Sherman Act in the United States in 1890 set the stage for a century of jurisprudence regarding monopoly, cartels, and oligopoly. Among American statutes that regulate commerce, the Sherman Act is unequaled in its generality. The Act outlawed every contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade and monopolization and treated violations as crimes. By these open-ended commands, Congress gave federal judges extraordinary power to draw lines between acceptable cooperation and illegal collusion, between vigorous competition and unlawful monopolization.

By enlisting the courts to elaborate the Sherman Act's broad commands, Congress gave economists a singular opportunity to …

Farewell To An Idea? Ideology In Legal Theory, David Charny

Michigan Law Review

In 1956, Morocco inaugurated a constitutional democratic polity on the Western model. Elections were to be held, and political parties formed, with voters to be registered by party. The Berbers, however, did not join the parties as individual voters. Each Berber clan joined their chosen party as a unit. To consecrate (or, perhaps, to accomplish) the clan's choice, a bullock was sacrificed. These sacrificial rites offer a useful parable about the relationship between law and culture. The social order imposed by law depends crucially on the "culture" of the participants in the system - their habits, dispositions, views of the …
