Health Insurance And The Undocumented Immigrant, Anja Diercks
Health Insurance And The Undocumented Immigrant, Anja Diercks
Honors Theses
The purpose of this thesis is to perform a comparative analysis on how seven different countries (USA, South Africa, Germany, England, Canada, France and Singapore) organize their healthcare system to cope with the issue of undocumented immigrants and whether or not these systems in place were “fair.” The thesis will also explore the possible ways the United States could change to be more inclusive and fairer in the world of healthcare and health insurance for the undocumented immigrant. A study on what fairness means both in ethical and economical terms is done to suggest a new basis of a fair …
Identifying Observation Unit As Best Practice, Justin Abraham
Identifying Observation Unit As Best Practice, Justin Abraham
Honors Theses
The rising demand for acute care is attributable to several factors, including poor access to unscheduled primary care and an aging population with complex chronic illnesses which place an increasing demand on crowded ED and hospitals in the United States (American College of Emergency Physicians, 2009). Observation (OBS) services are provided to patients with an acute clinical condition whose need for acute care hospitalization is unclear after their initial evaluation and management. Center for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) define hospital observation as those services that are reasonable and necessary to evaluate the outpatient's condition whose need for the patient to …
How Did Medicaid Expansion Affect The Provider Labor Market?, Aaron Wu
How Did Medicaid Expansion Affect The Provider Labor Market?, Aaron Wu
Honors Theses
One provision of the Affordable Care Act was to expand Medicaid eligibility for a greater number of low-income patients. The resulting increase in demand for care was largely explored, but the effect of the 2014 Medicaid expansion on the physician and advanced practitioner labor market has not been well researched by economists. Using pooled cross-sectional data from the 2010 – 2018 American Community Surveys, this paper examines whether the Medicaid expansion has caused notable changes in physician, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner hours, compensation, and overall employment. The literature shows that practices that employ nurse practitioners are far more likely …
An Analysis Of Patients Undergoing Hip And Knee Arthroplasties In An Accountable Care Organization, Harjot Uppal
An Analysis Of Patients Undergoing Hip And Knee Arthroplasties In An Accountable Care Organization, Harjot Uppal
Honors Theses
Background. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are commonly performed procedures, with over one million executed each year in the United States (U.S.) (Steiner et al., 2012). By 2030, THA and TKA are projected to become the most frequently performed elective surgical procedures in the U.S. (Cram et al., 2012; Kurtz et al., 2009). Many of the previous studies on THA and TKA procedures have focused on women, primarily because they are at increased risks of developing knee osteoarthritis and sustaining hip fractures (Cummings et al., 1990; Hedlund et al., 1987; Hinton et al., 1995; Myers et …
