ISBN: 9783838369242 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book is based on research into performance in 12 public hospitals in Australia and its relation to organisational culture. Hospitals with inclusive strategies for change, principally strategies of agreement, joint...

ISBN: 9783838307213 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is an epidemiological study of all causes of death in active duty Canadian Forces personnel over 21 years (1983 to 2003). During this time, the Canadian Forces were deployed on numerous peacekeeping missions all over the world, and were deployed as part of the NATO mission to Afghanistan following 9/11. Despite this, combat caused very few deaths over-all in Canadian Forces personnel. In fact, most deaths were from motor vehicle crashes, cancer, ischemic heart disease and suicide. Future military deaths may be avoided by focusing on smoking cessation, alcohol counselling, safe-driving...

ISBN: 9783838309774 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 made the most substantial changes to the Medicare program since its inception in 1965.

This experiment was generally not successful, and this study was designed to explore the reasons that the program did not succeed. The methodology involves interviews with subject matter experts...

Optimal Cancer Screening
ISBN: 9783838300894 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A dynamic stochastic model for colon and
rectum cancer is developed to obtain the optimal ages to perform colonoscopies. The currently recommended guideline for colonoscopy is to test at ages 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90. Our Monte Carlo simulation yields a cost/life-year saved of $54,919.62 for the official policy. We ask the following: if we could reallocate the 5 tests between the ages of 50 and 90, which ages for testing would give the lowest cost/life-year saved? Of the 91,309 possible...

Health Care Antitrust and the Myth of the Medical Market
ISBN: 9783838319674 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As part of a broad strategy of enlisting market forces to restrain the growth in health care costs, U.S. regulators have adapted antitrust law, developed for the industrial economy of the nineteenth century, to the modern health care system, with little evidence that consumers in fact benefit. This study, based primarily on evidence from the late 1990s, examines the results of this strategy in terms of both economic theory and empirical research on the impact of the profit motive on the health care. In their myopic view of for- profit managed care organizations as proxies for consumer ...

The Impact of the RDF on Accessibility of Medicines
ISBN: 9783838376844 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This situation was disadvantageous to the poor, because they did not have protected access to free services at public health facilities. The situation also led to the overburdening of service provision at the referral hospitals thus increasing their cost. In addition, poor health services could increase morbidity and mortality from preventable diseases, especially among the vulnerable members of the community (for example, women, children and the...
