Abstract:

This chapter describes the methods and critically reviews the alternatives to generic preference-based measures (GPBMs) of health. Although there is considerable evidence for the validity and responsiveness of GPBMs in many conditions, but despite this, in these conditions they are often not used in clinical trials. Furthermore, GPBMs have been shown to be insensitive for some conditions. One alternative is to map from other health or clinical measures on to one of the GPBMs. Another is to devise a more relevant condition-specific preference-based measure, or use a bespoke vignette (scenario)

Retrieval of patients with acute behavioural disturbances, whether due to drugs, alcohol, organic disease, or psychiatric illness is not an uncommon scenario. Practitioners receive little training in this area. It occurs in the prehospital setting and in remote areas where infrastructure and resources are limited and patients require transfer for further psychiatric assessment and treatment. Some services have developed policies that require patients with mental illness to be restrained and under police escort or intubated and ventilated for air transfer. These policies have been developed to

This chapter first discusses the general approach of regulators to risk management. Regulators often claim that they take a risk-based approach to the regulation of banks and other financial institutions. What matters to the regulator is compliance with the substance of its enunciated principles, not merely with their form. ‘Creative compliance’ and trying to find ‘ways round’ a clearly stated regulatory principle are not options. However, legal and conduct risk can be affected simply by a change of attitude on the part of the regulator without there being any change in rules or regulations. T

The premise of this book is that a complaint-based ideal of egalitarianism faces problems when applied to the future. For one thing, if we suppose that future people are destined to fare better than us (say, in terms of overall wellbeing), then allowing humanity to flourish would then represent a net increase in terms of egalitarian complaints.
