Abstract:

As technology advances, health care decisions have become increasingly complex. American hospitals, based on accreditation standards, are required to have a system and process to address ethics, patient rights, and responsibilities. These practices vary widely, and there is very little consistency and few standards across the country. Key court cases have provided minor structure, and the federal government has been silent in the formulation of these structures but not necessarily in this arena. Most often, these accreditation standards related to clinical ethics are managed by Healthcare Ethi

Abstract:

In the face of escalating health care expenditure, OECD countries are turning to a variety of cost-containment strategies. This thesis analyses three such mechanisms. In Part I, I consider the use of coinsurance to limit the demand for health care. Because coinsurance reduces the elasticity of demand with respect to the price of health care, consumers facing low coinsurance rates may be charged a higher price by doctors. Such discriminatory pricing enables the doctor to extract surplus created in the insurance market, and therefore reduces the effectiveness of coinsurance. I show that in equil

Abstract:

Clinical practice is an essential and integral component of nursing education. The decision-making process involved in student selection of clinical placements is influenced by a range of factors which are internal or external to students. As there was little research that explored these factors and the influence they have on student decisions, I wanted to investigate this further. A mixed-method approach was used, using a questionnaire and focus group interview, to give breadth and depth to the research. This study found that students are particularly influenced by previous positive experienc

A descriptive study was conducted to explore whether or not there were any differences in perceptions of physicians, acute care nurses, long-term care nurses, and nurse practitioners associated with end-of-life decision making for people over 65 years of age. A convenience sample of 95 health care providers, all of whom were involved in direct patient care was used. Quantitative research techniques were employed for data collection and analysis. Statistically significant differences were found between four individual items on the CDMS and the health care providers. It was found that long-term

Thirteen distinct genetic mutations have already been identified for hereditary LQTS. Since hereditary and acquired LQTS both share similar clinical symptoms, it is reasonable to assume that they both have some sort of genetic componen

Introduction Clinical decision-making, situation awareness, task management, and teamwork are key non-technical skills (NTS) required by junior doctors. However, research has demonstrated that new doctors have difficulty demonstrating effective NTS behaviours. Tactical decision games (TDGs) are low-fidelity classroom-based activities designed to develop proficiency in NTS. They have been used in other safety-critical industries to develop NTS but their use in undergraduate medical education has been very limited.

Abstract:

People at risk for blood clots are often treated with anticoagulants, warfarin is such an anticoagulant. The dose's effect is measured by comparing the time for blood to clot to a control time called an INR value. Previous anticoagulant studies have addressed agreement between fingerstick (POC) devices and the standard laboratory, however these studies rely on mathematical formulas as criteria for clinical evaluations, i.e. clinical evaluation vs. precision and bias. Fourteen such criteria were found in the literature. There exists little consistency among these criteria for assessing clinical

Patient-level evidence obtained from clinical trials is essential in assessing the cost-effectiveness of health care technologies.

Acquiring evidence to support decision making is expensive. Collecting resource use data alongside a randomised controlled clinical trial is particularly so due to the multidimensional nature of costs: different costs are incurred by different agencies with varying methods and systems to account for these.

For example, hospitalisations can be costed (1) on a top-down, per admission basis multiplied by a representative unit cost, (2) a bottom-up basis measuring every compon
