Employing E-Health: The Impact Of Electronic Health Records On The Workplace, Sharona Hoffman Jan 2010

Employing E-Health: The Impact Of Electronic Health Records On The Workplace, Sharona Hoffman

Faculty Publications

Electronic Health Record (HER) systems may soon become a fixture in most medical settings. President Obama’s 29 stimulus legislation includes $19 billion to promote their implementation. The sophisticated features and efficiencies of HER systems have the potential to improve health outcomes and enhance patient welfare considerably. However, this emerging technology also poses significant challenges and risks, not the least of which are its workplace impacts. This article provides a first of its kind analysis of the ramifications of HER systems for workers and employers.

The potential effects of health information computerization on the workplace are numerous. Employers may obtain and …


The Eminence Of Imminence And The Myopia Of Markets, Teneille R. Brown Jan 2010

The Eminence Of Imminence And The Myopia Of Markets, Teneille R. Brown

Utah Law Faculty Scholarship

This article questions the privileging of disaster, or imminent threat, over more distant threats to public health. In many cases, this privileging makes sense as we do not have time to evaluate the threat under traditional frameworks. But in some cases, we privilege disaster in ways that may be ethically and legally unsound. Here I am interested in a particular type of public health threat – the negative consequences that stem from climate change. In this article I view the climate change discussion through the lens of distributive justice. I analyze the ethical as well as legal arguments for encouraging …


Reduced Discretion In Corporate Governance As Applied To The Pharmaceutical Industry In Nevada, Timothy Koval Jan 2010

Reduced Discretion In Corporate Governance As Applied To The Pharmaceutical Industry In Nevada, Timothy Koval

Nevada Law Journal

This Note focuses on an education-based alternative to promote effective interactions between pharmaceutical corporations and physicians that benefit patients while allowing these corporations to exercise business discretion. Specifically, educational programs that teach physicians how to interact with pharmaceutical corporations most effectively may maximize the benefits for all parties involved. Although many of the arguments presented may be extended to corporations that sell or market medical devices or appliances, their application in that context is beyond the scope of this Note. In Part II, this Note discusses the background of corporate decision-making and its application in the pharmaceutical industry in Nevada. …


Litigation, Integration, And Transformation: Using Medicaid To Address Racial Inequities In Health Care, Ruqaiijah Yearby Jan 2010

Litigation, Integration, And Transformation: Using Medicaid To Address Racial Inequities In Health Care, Ruqaiijah Yearby

Faculty Publications

Using a public health policy perspective, this article examines the persistence of racial inequities in nursing homes and prescribes a solution to address these inequities. I use empirical data to prove the persistence of racial inequities in health care, analyze the government policies that allow racial inequities to continue, and provide a solution of regulatory integration. Specifically, I propose that civil rights enforcement be integrated with the nursing home enforcement system, which has been aggressively enforced and monitored. There are many strategies that may lead to the adoption of this system. One such strategy is using the Medicaid Act to …

Deconstructing Dispute Classifications: Avoiding The Shadow Of The Law In Dispute System Design In Healthcare, Orna Rabinovich-Einy Jan 2010

Deconstructing Dispute Classifications: Avoiding The Shadow Of The Law In Dispute System Design In Healthcare, Orna Rabinovich-Einy

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

The paper opens with an analysis of dispute classification under ADR theory, and highlights the ways in which the "shadow of the law" has shaped the design of systems for addressing conflict. One significant byproduct of the shadow of the law has been the motivation of dispute system designers to target legal disputes at the expense of other complaints, which do not constitute a legal cause of action. This development is ironic because in the case of non-litigable disputes, alternatives constitute the only available avenues for redress. The article then proceeds to define and characterize non-litigable disputes in Part II.A. …
