Assessing The Burden Of Uncompensated Care In South Carolina Hospitals: The Role Of Medicaid Expansion, Telemedicine And Primary Care, Natassia S. Allen Apr 2025

Assessing The Burden Of Uncompensated Care In South Carolina Hospitals: The Role Of Medicaid Expansion, Telemedicine And Primary Care, Natassia S. Allen

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The financial burden of uncompensated care strains healthcare systems nationwide. In this study, we measured the uncompensated care for hospitals in SC based on outpatient surgeries (OP), inpatient visits (IP), and emergency department (ED) visits. We used the South Carolina (SC) Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office (SCRFA) database from 2018-2023 to derive the mean charges for self-pay and indigent/charity care for each county for OP, IP, and ED visits. Without recent and publicly available cost-to-charge ratios for SC, we used the 2022 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare 5% Limited Data Set (LDS) data to generate the unique …

It’S Not So Simple: An Examination Of How The Internal Revenue Code Fails To Contemplate The Economic Realities Of Individuals With Disabilities And Their Families, Garret Hoff Apr 2025

It’S Not So Simple: An Examination Of How The Internal Revenue Code Fails To Contemplate The Economic Realities Of Individuals With Disabilities And Their Families, Garret Hoff

Duke Law & Technology Review

Families with disabled students face extra costs associated with providing their child with the same education that other students get for free. Even though these costs are spent with the explicit purpose of supporting their child’s disability-informed care and are not incurred but for their disability (“but-for costs”), some of these costs are not deductible and others are subject to unnecessary ambiguity when it comes to their deductibility. Families with disabled students are forced to reckon with arbitrary distinctions if they want to receive any favorable tax treatment on but-for costs. This is because the relevant provision in the Internal …

Comparing School Leaders’ Experiences Of Research Use In England, Scotland And Germany, Peter Kelly, Anna Beck, Susann Hofbauer Apr 2025

Comparing School Leaders’ Experiences Of Research Use In England, Scotland And Germany, Peter Kelly, Anna Beck, Susann Hofbauer

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

In some countries it is common for policymakers to advocate research use by practitioners as a means to bring about school development. Yet, despite their increasing sophistication, the enactment of protocols for using research is problematic and, even in optimal environments, practitioners have difficulty mobilising research findings to improve student attainment. In this study, we consider school leaders’ engagement with research, brokered by various intermediaries, in three countries where policy and practice differ. We explore research engagement through documentary analyses and in-depth interviews with school leaders from equivalent phase schools. Results suggest school leaders’ experiences of research use are shaped …

The Mediation Dance Of Choreography Copyright, Kassandra Sopko Apr 2025

The Mediation Dance Of Choreography Copyright, Kassandra Sopko

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Despite its societal presence and pervasive benefits for both performers and observers, dance remains a low-paying field with limited career longevity. While dance choreography copyright protection is an option for artists to monetize their work long-term, there are significant barriers due to legal complexities, financial burdens, and lack of awareness regarding copyright protections. The limitations of the copyright landscape burden choreographers who do seek to take advantage of their intellectual property rights, and many of the current suggested solutions for protecting choreography either prove inadequate or involve negative consequences. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly mediation with BATNA/WATNA incentives, presents a …

Blazing A Trail To Dispute Resolution: The Advantages Of Mediating Insurance And Mass Tort Claims Following Wildfires In California, Kate Hanes Apr 2025

Blazing A Trail To Dispute Resolution: The Advantages Of Mediating Insurance And Mass Tort Claims Following Wildfires In California, Kate Hanes

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Year after year, wildfires in California decimate property, the environment, and local communities, precipitating costly and protracted litigation. This Comment explores the advantages of mediating, rather than litigating, insurance and mass tort claims in the aftermath of these devastating natural disasters. In particular, this Comment contends that mediation benefits all parties—wildfire victims, their insurers, and alleged tortfeasors—by quickly and inexpensively resolving claims, preserving the common pool of funds to prevent insurer insolvency, and maintaining flexibility, predictability, and confidentiality. Drawing on examples of other successful disaster mediations, such as the Agent Orange case and those following Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina, this …

Heirs' Property Disputes: Evaluating Adr Forums To Change The Status Quo, Karina Grobman Apr 2025

Heirs' Property Disputes: Evaluating Adr Forums To Change The Status Quo, Karina Grobman

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

Heirs’ property—a form of communal ownership passed down through generations—is a symbol of family legacy in the South. Disputes between families and developers create a disparate loss of land among Black families in the South, often through court-ordered partition actions. Although some states adopted the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act (UPHPA) to reform partition sales, most courts still force sales of the entire property rather than more equitable divisions. This Comment explores various alternative dispute resolution (ADR) forums as a more just and efficient path to resolve heirs’ property disputes. Although the multi-party nature of heirs’ property disputes makes …

Don't Blame Me, Ticketmaster Made Me Crazy: A Discussion Of The Ticketmaster Eras Tour Fiasco, Madeline Enlow

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The Taylor Swift and the Ticketmaster fiasco raised massive arbitration issues and garnered vast public attention from concertgoers, fans, and other artists who may experience similar ticketing-sales disasters in the future. Ticketmaster’s current arbitration agreement with New Era ADR was the focal point of the “Eras” Tour legal dispute. This Comment delves into the components of the fiasco, breaking down the dispute between “Swifties” and the mega-company, discussing the involved parties and their pertinent interests, the existing rights each party can utilize to achieve those interests, power differences at play, and relevant barriers to a potential solution. In addition, this …

1928-1978 Fifty Years Of Service To Geography, James Snaden Apr 2025

1928-1978 Fifty Years Of Service To Geography, James Snaden

The Geographical Bulletin

Dr. Robert G. Buzzard conceived the idea of a professional fraternity in the field of geography while he was a student at the University of Chicago just prior to World War I. He dropped the matter when he was unable to find a group of students who could be interested in forming such an organization. During 1924-25, when Dr. Buzzard was a graduate student at Clark University, a local organization which came to be known as the Clark Geographical Society, made up of persons with a graduate degree from Clark, sparked the interest of many geographers. He found only lukewarm …

Climatic Preference, Jeffrey T. Lutz Apr 2025

Climatic Preference, Jeffrey T. Lutz

The Geographical Bulletin

Researchers within the discipline of geography seek to achieve an enhanced comprehension of man's perception of the world. Therefore, environmental perception is a subject of great consequence to geographers. Understanding of the sources of environmental variance perception in is essential to an understanding of variation in man's environmental behaviors. 1 The mental image is one of the major determinants of spatial behavior; and spatial images area an individual's cognitive representation of the spatial environment, and are a summary of what he considers meaningful about the environment.' Climate is a strategic factor affecting man's responses to the complex environment, and climate …

Precipitation Efficiency Under Varying Atmosph Eric Con Oitions, Jeffrey T. Lutz Apr 2025

Precipitation Efficiency Under Varying Atmosph Eric Con Oitions, Jeffrey T. Lutz

The Geographical Bulletin

A strategic step in the assessment of water availability for a given location is the prediction of the amounts and temporal variability of precipitation. Considering the present state of the art, long-term meteorological forecasts of precipitation are not adequately accurate or reliable for predictive use. Since most predictions are based upon simple statistical analyses of past rainfall records, they are inherently unsatisfactory In that preci pitation production processes are ignored. Determination of the causes of spatial and temporal variations in the amount of precipitation produced by particular atmospheric systems in specific locations is important in assessing water availability. A valuable …

A Historical And Legal Analysis Of The Life Of Ellett Robinson, Abigail Hilbig Apr 2025

A Historical And Legal Analysis Of The Life Of Ellett Robinson, Abigail Hilbig

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

To look deeply into the lives of individuals is to begin to understand the intricacies of American life. Ellett Robinson was an African American woman, born at the inception of the twentieth century. Like the century she lived through, Ellett’s life was defined by sociocultural concepts that began long before she came to be. Perceptions of race and the family were being transformed throughout the 1800s and 1900s. Born into this tumultuous time, Ellett was destined to experience the prejudice that existed against African Americans in the South. With slaves having been freed just thirty- six years before Ellett’s birth, …

Pain For Profit The Motivations Of Slave Surgeons In The Eighteenth To Nineteenth Century Caribbean, Gabe Smock Apr 2025

Pain For Profit The Motivations Of Slave Surgeons In The Eighteenth To Nineteenth Century Caribbean, Gabe Smock

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

When late eighteenth- century British surgeon Dr. Alexander Falconbridge ventured belowdecks to check on the hundreds of slaves chained there, he had no illusions about the horrors of the Middle Passage. After all, this was not his first voyage providing medical care for slaves until they disembarked at the infamous markets of colonial Kingston, Jamaica. He took a moment to brace himself, then ventured down into the damp air below only to encounter a sight so awful that it was difficult to put into words when he recounted the experience years later to Parliament. As a consequence of being packed …

Japanese Imperial Education In Korea And Taiwan And The Lens Of Reciprocal Assimilation, Devin Sanders Apr 2025

Japanese Imperial Education In Korea And Taiwan And The Lens Of Reciprocal Assimilation, Devin Sanders

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

During the 19th century, the nation of Japan underwent a variety of political, social, and economic changes, including but not limited to events such as the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the first Sino-Japanese War in 1894-1895. This paradigmatic shift sought to usher in a new era of Japanese dominance on both regional and international scales. Japanese dominance and international relevance, as indicated by Meiji-era domestic and foreign policy, was to be realized through adopting demonstratively successful policies, technologies, ideals, governments, militaries, economic approaches, and even the appearances of Western powers.1 Indeed, influential Japanese leaders such as Fukuzawa Yukichi believed …

The Civil War And The Apocalypse Insights From The Millennial Sta, Megan Mcconnell

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

An editorial published in the Millennial Star on May 11, 1861, almost exactly one month after the start of the American Civil War, declared that the war that had broken out on the American continent was part of the “signs of the times” and that it “should be an incentive to diligence and faithfulness” to the European members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The war would be a calamity to a degree that had never before been seen on the Earth and one which the “nations of Europe cannot escape from.”1 The editor pronounced that the …

Remembering The Lady Representations Of Abigail Adams In The Women’S Rights Movement, Allison Haack Apr 2025

Remembering The Lady Representations Of Abigail Adams In The Women’S Rights Movement, Allison Haack

The Thetean: A Student Journal for Scholarly Historical Writing

In November 1975, Redbook, a women’s magazine, included a “call to action” issued to women of the United States. This call was set forth both in response to the bicentennial celebration of the Declaration of Independence as well the UN National Women’s Year. In it, over fifty organizations came together to lay out an eleven-step plan to achieve greater political equality between the sexes—namely, the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. To introduce this call to action, Bess Myers, the author, shared several anecdotes about Abigail Adams, including Adams’ charge that her husband “remember the ladies” when he went off …
