Caring For The Country: Physician Retention At Cortland Regional Medical Center, Jennifer E. Truck
MPA Capstone Projects 2006 - 2015
Americans living in rural areas of the United States have historically suffered from a lack of adequate health care. As the focus of this study, the Cortland County area of central upstate New York State is a rural community of 74,000 that has been served for the last 118 years by Cortland Regional Medical Center (CRMC). CRMC is the federally designated "sole community hospital" which means that there are no other hospitals within 45 minutes of the medical center ("Department of Health and Human Services," 2009). Its HSPA designation indicates that on average, each primary care physician must allocate services …

Effectiveness Of A Multidisciplinary Patient Assistance Program In Diabetes Care, Edward Joseph Doyle, Iii
Effectiveness Of A Multidisciplinary Patient Assistance Program In Diabetes Care, Edward Joseph Doyle, Iii
Senior Honors Projects
This retrospective chart review is to evaluate the changes in personal health markers that serve as prognostic indicators in the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects in the Patient Assistance Liaison (PAL) Program at the Diabetes Resource Center (DRC) of the St. Joseph Health Services of Rhode Island Hospital for Specialty Care have no health insurance to pay for needed services and medications. It is desirable to know if the care they are receiving is equivalent to patients at the DRC that have prescription drug insurance from a third party provider.
Presently there are over 23.6 million Americans with …
The Effect Of Obesity On State Health Care Expenditures: An Empirical Analysis, Kristen Collins
The Effect Of Obesity On State Health Care Expenditures: An Empirical Analysis, Kristen Collins
Honors Projects in Economics
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of obesity rates on per capita state health care expenditures. A two-stage least square regression model is used. In the first stage of the estimation, factors influencing obesity rates are determined. The determinants of obesity rates are outlined throughout the research process. In the second stage, the impact of obesity rates on per capita health expenditures across states is evaluated. The empirical results indicate that obesity rates do indeed have a direct effect on state health care expenditures. After reviewing the project’s results, various solutions are proposed as possible methods …

Over-Utilization Of Advanced Imaging In The Hospital Setting: An Educational Approach To Reduce Unnecessary Inpatient Studies, Guillermo Madero, J. Platnick, L. Voutsinas, R. Wetz, S. Buchbinder
Internal Medicine
By several measures, health care spending continues to rise, forcing businesses and families to cut back on operations and household expenses. In 2008, health care spending in the United States reached $2.4 trillion dollars, and is projected to reach $3.1 trillion in 2012.During the past decades, there has been a steady increase in the utilization of expensive inpatient imaging studies, with an overall increase in health care costs. In particular, advanced imaging includes CT, MRI and Nuclear Medicine, used for the diagnosis and management of hospitalized patients. The reasons for unnecessary imaging examinations include indirect financial benefit to physicians, medico-legal …
Or Practice—Efficient Short-Term Allocation And Reallocation Of Patients To Floors Of A Hospital During Demand Surges, Steven M. Thompson, Manuel Nunez, Robert Garfinkel, Matthew D. Dean
Or Practice—Efficient Short-Term Allocation And Reallocation Of Patients To Floors Of A Hospital During Demand Surges, Steven M. Thompson, Manuel Nunez, Robert Garfinkel, Matthew D. Dean
Management Faculty Publications
Many hospitals face the problem of insufficient capacity to meet demand for inpatient beds, especially during demand surges. This results in quality degradation of patient care due to large delays from admission time to the hospital until arrival at a floor. In addition, there is loss of revenue because of the inability to provide service to potential patients. A solution to the problem is to proactively transfer patients between floors in anticipation of a demand surge. Optimal reallocation poses an extraordinarily complex problem that can be modeled as a finite-horizon Markov decision process. Based on the optimization model, a decision-support …
The Life Science Lawyer, Erin Albert
The Life Science Lawyer, Erin Albert
Butler University Books
Health care and life sciences are increasingly complex. There are many global players in life sciences and healthcare-patients, governments, hospitals, managed care companies, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies and pharmacies are only a few. With this increasing complexity comes a higher demand for hybrid professionals who can translate both the science as well as the legal issues surrounding this complicated environment. In the US, there are thousands of life science lawyers--people who have both a scientific/healthcare background and also who have gone on to law school (or in one case, vice versa). This book explores the following through interviews: …

Handbook On Sensitive Practice For Health Care Practitioners: Lessons From Adult Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Candice L. Schachter, Carol Stalker, Eli Teram, Gerri C. Lasiuk, Alanna Danilkewich
Lyle S. Hallman Social Work Faculty Publications
This handbook is the culmination of a multiphase, multidisciplinary research project that used grounded theory and participatory action research to illuminate ways that healthcare providers can work sensitively (in a trauma-informed way) with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
The research identified nine Principles of Sensitive Practice: respect, rapport, taking time, sharing information and control, respecting boundaries, fostering mutual learning, understanding non-linear healing and demonstrating an understanding of trauma to patients. Specific guidelines were developed for a wide variety of issues pertinent to clinical practice such as, removal of clothing, touch, responding to disclosures of abuse, managing triggers among others. …

Contextual Leadership: The Social Construction Of Leadership In A Comprehensive Healthcare System, Mark J. Moir
Contextual Leadership: The Social Construction Of Leadership In A Comprehensive Healthcare System, Mark J. Moir
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Healthcare is a complex and dynamic environment containing a plurality of social forces and perspectives that shape the organizational culture and the nature of the leadership. As leadership is a social phenomenon, it is important to understand the complex social processes that mediate our perceptions and that in turn influence processes of leader attribution. The central purpose of this study has been to illuminate the nature of culturally specific processes that emerge within a specific organizational setting and that fuel leader attribution and the social construction of leadership. Accordingly, this qualitative study has developed a Grounded Theory utilizing Situational Analysis …
Educating Clinical Pastoral Education Supervisors: A Grounded Theory Study Of Supervisory Wisdom, Judith R. Ragsdale
Educating Clinical Pastoral Education Supervisors: A Grounded Theory Study Of Supervisory Wisdom, Judith R. Ragsdale
Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is an 80 year old education modality that provides professional education for students of pastoral care. Supervision is central to the CPE process. Pastoral supervisors in the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) have done little writing about their work educating Students in Supervisory Education (SSEs). The purpose of this dissertation is to identify and interview those practitioners in ACPE who have been identified by their peers as excellent in practice, and to cull their wisdom by listening to and categorizing their experience of supervising SSEs. The research question to the supervisors was: What is your …

Chasms In Care: Implications Of A Disparate System On Childhood Obesity, Sara Dianne Miller
Chasms In Care: Implications Of A Disparate System On Childhood Obesity, Sara Dianne Miller
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
There are disparities that exist between public health and personal health care in addressing childhood obesity. Public health efforts to reduce the prevalence of this epidemic have focused on preventive strategies because a coordinated system of health care to address the treatment of obesity in children does not exist. For children who are already overweight, these strategies are not enough. What programs do exist are typically fee-for-service. This study examines the ethics and implications of the disparities that exists in our nation, as well as the role socioeconomic status plays in adolescent overweight and obesity and its primary behavior risk …
