The Bipartisan Patient Protection Act: Greater Liability On Managed Care Plans, Urura W. Mayers Jan 2003

The Bipartisan Patient Protection Act: Greater Liability On Managed Care Plans, Urura W. Mayers

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Mrs. Mayers' article notes the substantial differences that exist between the Senate and the House of Representatives' version of the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act of 2001. While observing the remedies made available to participants, beneficiaries, or enrollees under both bills, she shows that the Senate bill places greater liability on managed care plans because it favors consumer protection, while the House of Representatives' bill does not. In order to develop an understanding of why an act of this nature is needed, Mrs. Mayers provides a brief historical overview of how managed care entities developed. She also examines the Employee Retirement …

Changing The Law, Changing The Culture: Rethinking The "Sleepy Resident" Problem, Jennifer F. Whetsell Jan 2003

Changing The Law, Changing The Culture: Rethinking The "Sleepy Resident" Problem, Jennifer F. Whetsell

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Ms. Whetsell examines the Bell Regulations, which limit New York's hospital residents' work hours and require increased supervision from senior doctors, in light of the currently pending federal bill that seeks to do the same. The article argues that the federal government should draw lessons from the New York experience before proceeding with similar guidelines. The article notes that many roadblocks have prevented successful implementation of the New York policy, including a long-standing tradition of "hazing" first-year residents with long, unsupervised hours; medical community resistance to the notion of residents' sleep deprivation and dislike of government interference; and a general …


Bioterrorism Meets Privacy: An Analysis Of The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act And The Hipaa Privacy Rule, Julie Bruce Jan 2003

Bioterrorism Meets Privacy: An Analysis Of The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act And The Hipaa Privacy Rule, Julie Bruce

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Ms. Bruce's paper analyzes the interplay between the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The article begins by examining specific relevant provisions of the Act and Rule. Next, it traces the history of public health law through the court system and then uses this foundation to discuss how the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule could co-exist, protecting Americans in the case of a bioterror attack, while being appropriately sensitive to the confidentiality of private health information.


Access To Health Care: What A Difference Shades Of Color Make, Gwendolyn Roberts Majette Jan 2003

Access To Health Care: What A Difference Shades Of Color Make, Gwendolyn Roberts Majette

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Professor Majette's timely article examines an age-old problem: the effect of race and ethnicity on a patient's receipt of health care. Her article analyzes some of the major health care access issues, with a focus on barriers confronting African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans. Some of the barriers include inability to pay, cultural insensitivity, a shortage of health care providers, and discrimination. She also examines some of the unsuccessful legal solutions and remedies designed to eliminate these barriers. Given the complexity of the access barriers encountered by people of color, Professor Majette concludes that only an interdisciplinary approach can …

Time Is Running Out - The Burdens And Challenges Of Hipaa Compliance: A Look At Preemption Analysis, The Minimum Necessary Standard, And The Notice Of Privacy Practices, Jennifer Guthrie

Annals of Health Law and Life Sciences

Ms. Guthrie's paper involves the final Privacy Regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to HIPAA. Her thesis highlights three burdensome requirements which remain significant obstacles to the compliance date of April 14, 2003: (1) the need to undertake thorough preemption analyses, (2) lack of clarity surrounding the "Minimum Necessary Standard," and (3) confusion regarding the "Notice of Privacy Practices." Ms. Guthrie provides a close analysis of these three areas and offers several viable and persuasive alternatives to the associated burdens. She concludes that HHS must make several integral modifications and provide substantial and continuing guidance …
