This research was carried out to assess the feasibility of studying the effects of introducing copayments in primary medical care via studying the effects of copayments in primary dental care. Quantitative methods were used to investigate the impact of primary dental care copayments on patients and to compare predictors of primary medical and dental care uptake. Qualitative methods were used to investigate attitudes towards copayments for NHS primary health services and their extension to include primary medical consultations.

<p> Abstract Emergency medical services (EMS) for nonemergent or low-acuity calls is a new normal. EMS agencies spend a majority of time providing primary care services through the 911 system. They are utilized currently to fill the primary care gap subconsciously. The EMS system is activated as a patient navigator for primary care services. EMS agencies in the state where the research occurred have responded to the gap in care management by creating innovative programs such as community health emergency medical services (CHEMS). Creation of CHEMS programs have become one of the most monumenta

Abstract:

This dissertation considers the representation of masturbation in medical and fictional texts between the mid-Nineteenth Century and the first decade of the Twentieth. Discussion of masturbation in this period has been dominated by the writings of medical historians such as Paula Bennett and Vernon A. Rosario II, and Jean Stengers and Anne van Neck, who make but passing reference to the wider cultural manifestations of the practice. This dissertation goes beyond the pioneering work of these writers in order to address how the symptomatologies and prognoses associated with the medicalised pract

Abstract:

This thesis examines, from a sociological perspective, the careers of doctors from a developing country without its own medical school or strongly organised medical profession. It argues that the interplay between the socio-economic and political forces and doctors' experiences internalised over the years at medical school, contribute to medical migration in Botswana from the public sector to private practice, and abroad. First, the thesis examines the influences that come into play when Botswana citizens choose a medical career. Then, the study explores students' medical school socialisation

General medical wards deliver the majority of inpatient care. Despite technological and therapeutic advances, these wards expose 10% of patients to preventable adverse events, and disproportionately contribute to preventable hospital deaths. Improving ward team performance is often proposed as a mechanism to improve patient outcomes. The overarching goal of this thesis is to identify effective strategies to improve interdisciplinary team care on the medical ward.

Due to rising veteran suicide rates, the veteran population has become a focus of practitioners, research scientists, and policymakers. Although researchers have studied the relationship between suicidality and the environment, more research is required to evaluate how suicidal behavior, suicidal ideation, and suicide risk are associated with a veteran's use of medical care services within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Therefore, this study focused on environmental variables (medical care usage and rurality), and their relationship with suicidal behavior (Manuscript 1), suicidal id

Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) generally have physical, mental, or emotional conditions that require a broader range and greater quantity of health and related services compared to typical children. Care coordination (CC) and family-centered care (FCC) are necessary in the quality of health care for CSHCN. A gap exists in the literature regarding the impact of CC and FCC on children's functional ability (FA).

This thesis presents the notion that paid elder care work is often more involved with ordering individuals, than caring for them.

The thesis uses care, control, and knowledge as the main themes for the discussion of work in both homes.
