The legislative provision of social services and rehabilitation of the disabled elderly was studied. There were determined special legislative, methodological and technical problems lying in the imperfection of the model of medical-social and rehabilitation services. Organizational problems of interagency cooperation authorities and institutions in the implementation of rehabilitation and social services to disabled elderly persons were revealed. Main directions of the improvement of the system of medical-social assistance and rehabilitation are proposed.

The research is an administrative case study based on an extensive review of Hawaii government documents and interviews with key personnel of the Hawaii Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC), civil defense, and other relevant government officials. Interviews with key personnel at the major medical centers were also conducted as well as a survey of 80 percent of the local Hawaii-based TV news reporters. The study describes the interagency coordination at the federal, state, county, and community level to improve capability. Recommendations from the study included increased funding for family emergency preparedness and local community response teams and continuous training by emergency response coordinators to improve state and county disaster preparedness. The study also recommends collaboration with disaster-trained media reporters. The study concluded that, overall, Hawaii is adequately prepared in emergency response capability, particularly in the areas of medical services and interagency coordination, but coordination with the media reporting on disasters could be improved.

During the Obama administration, the White House Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) leadership helped to initiate and cement evidence-based policymaking reforms across the federal government, particularly in social services programs. Notable accomplishments were in the design of outcome-focused programs that use and build evidence, the strengthening of agency evaluation capacity, and interagency data-linkage projects to harness administrative data. Here, I review those accomplishments and catalog the key assets and tactics that OMB used to help federal agencies increase their use of evidence and innovation. I also assess the shortcomings and limitations of the Obama-era OMB approach and draw conclusions about what could be done in the current or a future administration to further advance evidence-based policymaking in the executive branch. Specifically, I propose that Congress and the administration should work to improve agency evaluation capacity, assess and report on agencies’ progress in using and building evidence, and establish an Intergovernmental Evidence and Innovation Council.

Abstract As a part of ongoing efforts of the NCI-FDA Interagency Oncology Task Force subcommittee on molecular diagnostics, members of the Clinical Proteomic Technology Assessment for Cancer program of the National Cancer Institute have submitted 2 protein-based multiplex assay descriptions to the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety, US Food and Drug Administration. The objective was to evaluate the analytical measurement criteria and studies needed to validate protein-based multiplex assays. Each submission described a different protein-based platform: a multiplex immunoaffinity mass spectrometry platform for protein quantification, and an immunological array platform quantifying glycoprotein isoforms. Submissions provided a mutually beneficial way for members of the proteomics and regulatory communities to identify the analytical issues that the field should address when developing protein-based multiplex clinical assays.

AbstractPrehospital advanced life support (ALS) is provided by non-physicians under the supervision and the responsibility of a physician—the Emergency Medical Service Medical Director (EMSMD). In order to assess the time required of the EMSMD as well as the technical support provided and the medico-legal risks involved, a survey was distributed to physicians in attendance at the Annual Scientific Assemblies of the National Association of EMS Physicians in August 1986 and June 1987. The survey also was mailed to all EMSMDs in Michigan.Of the 66 EMS medical director respondents, 69% were compensated, 62% were provided with malpractice coverage, and 22% had been involved in legal actions. Clerical support was provided for 89%, office space for 58%, and 60% had access to a computerized record database system. The average time consumed per week was 17±13 hours.Differences were detected in the amount of support provided between services with an excess of 10,000 ALS responses per year and those with less than 10,000. The larger services more frequently provided office space and equipment (p<.02), malpractice coverage (p<.01), and access to a records database (p<.03) than did the smaller services. The EMSMDs for the larger services also were involved more frequently in legal actions (p<.03).Legal actions involved 14 of the EMSMDs: paramedic malpractice (6); system failures (3); dispatch errors (2); inappropriate receiving facility (2); and paramedic licensure, equipment failure, union grievance, withdrawal of medical control, and trauma center designation (1 each). Four of the 14 involved had not been provided with malpractice coverage.Medical direction of a prehospital EMS system requires a significant time commitment, incurs medico-legal risks, and in most communities receives clerical and data retrieval support, and the EMSMDs are compensated.

Summary This article explores the creation of the Post Office medical service. Working for the Post Office was relatively well-paid and an increasing number of doctors were employed. Medical provision expanded with the introduction of non-contributory pensions from mid-century and developed into a comprehensive and nationwide service that was involved at all stages of employment, from initial recruitment through to receiving a pension. Post Office doctors assessed candidates’ fitness for work, checked on sick absences, provided free medicine and advice and visited workers’ homes. Doctors were responsible for determining whether or not a worker should be pensioned off on grounds of ill health. The career of the first Chief Medical Officer, Dr Waller Lewis, also illustrates the range of other areas in which the Post Office medical service became involved, including the clinical assessment and relief of sickness as well as identifying preventative measures to improve health outcomes.

The term ‘ergonomics' embodies the relationship of people to their total work environment. In this paper, medical record administrators are encouraged to explore the potential of ergonomics in its widest sense and, when evaluating the design of medical record departments, to keep in mind that office design is fundamental to productivity and staff morale. Medical record adminstrators need to press for changes in office design which not only improve the morale and performance of employees but also enhance the image of the medical record department as a vital and integral part of patient services.

Background The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has outlined the benefits of health information exchange in emergency medical services (EMSs) according to the SAFR model—search, alert, file, and reconcile—developed in collaboration with the California Emergency Medical Services Authority. Objective This scoping review aims to identify and characterize progress toward the adoption of prehospital health information exchange, as reported in the peer-reviewed literature. Methods A structured review of literature in MEDLINE-indexed journals was conducted using the “Electronic Health Records” topic-specific query, the “Emergency Medical Services” Medical Subject Headings descriptor, and a prehospital identifier. Results Our initial search yielded 368 nonduplicative, English-language articles; 131 articles underwent full-text review and 11 were selected for analysis according to pre-established inclusion criteria. Original research was thematically grouped according to the SAFR model. Conclusion Within isolated systems, there has been limited progress toward the adoption of prehospital health information exchange. Interoperability, accurate match algorithms, security, and wireless connectivity have been identified as potential barriers to adoption. Additional research is required to evaluate the role of health information exchange within EMSs.

CHDS State/Local
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) was formed to provide a cadre of trained medical volunteers to support and strengthen the public health infrastructure and improve its' emergency preparedness level. Training policies and standards are left to the discretion of the local MRC coordinator so the program maintains its flexibility to meet community needs. Training varies from unit to unit, and there are no protocols in place to measure or evaluate the effectiveness of that training. According to recent studies and surveys, disaster operations are an unfamiliar role for most MRC volunteers and the public health workforce in general. Evidence also suggests that few medical and public health workers receive this important preparedness training. In 2005, MRC working group members developed a list of core competency recommendations to provide training guidance, but specific educational content to satisfy those competencies were not defined. This thesis offers specific training content guidelines and strategies for achieving competency. The MRC must be able to integrate into the disaster environment while working safely, effectively and efficiently. Standards will set the mark for success, enabling the MRC to respond in a coordinated manner and at a consistently higher level to any public health emergency.

In caring for patients with chronic complex and life-limiting illness, models of palliative care delivery have developed across the care continuum. While many palliative care services are provided by hospital-based consult teams, palliative care is also delivered in the home, including independent living, assisted living, and group homes; in skilled nursing facilities; and in the outpatient office setting. While high variability exists for delivery of palliative care across the globe, there have been many studies reflecting the value of palliative care across these settings, for quality of end-of-life care as well as for the financial implications in the complex medical care for patients with palliative care needs.

In addition to providing services, community schools need to be governed. In this part you will learn how one principal views the overall partnership and his role in a community school, Intermediate School 218. You will also learn more about other Children’s Aid Society (CAS) schools and how they came into being. The all-pervasive subject of financing is treated by my coeditor, who believes that it is possible to sustain these efforts, but not without constant attention to seeking new funds. Finally, we learn about various attempts to evaluate the CAS schools. As would be expected, the principal is in charge. A full-service community school cannot exist unless the principal is willing to facilitate the arrangement. At the same time, this model cannot be implemented without the presence of a full-time community school director or coordinator (see Negrón, ch. 3 in this volume). The principal works closely with the community school director to integrate new services with what is already there. In one such community school, the principal shares her office with the coordinator, ensuring regular communication. The role of the lead agency, in this case CAS, is extremely important. Just as the principal and the school staff have to support the community school concepts, so do the lead agency and its personnel. CAS is a long-established social service agency that also operates homemaker services, adoption and foster care programs, medical and mental health services, and other similar services. When such an infrastructure is already in place to support community schools, the whole enterprise is enriched, and the transformation of the traditional school into a community school is expedited by back-up from the lead agency’s “home office.” Such matters as payroll, benefits, public relations, and, most important, resource development can be addressed by existing staff members. The expansion of CAS’s community schools initiative—from one community school to ten in a single decade—made it clearer than ever that one size does not fit all. Adapting the model to various populations and conditions and to a wide range of partners requires sensitivity and flexibility on everyone’s part.

The general principles developed during the latter part of the twentieth century and continued into the twenty-first century guiding support for people with intellectual disabilities remain those of social inclusion and the provision of services to enable people to make, as far is possible, their own choices and to participate as full citizens in society. These are articulated in national policy documents, such as the White Paper for England, ‘Valuing people and also at an international level in the UN Declaration on the rights of people with disability. However, given that people with intellectual disabilities represent a highly complex and heterogenous group with very varied needs, in order for such objectives to be achieved, a range of community based support and interagency and inter-disciplinary collaboration is required. It is acknowledged that people with intellectual disabilities experience considerable health inequalities with the presence of additional disabilities due to the presence of physical and sensory impairments and co-morbid physical and mental ill-health, much of which goes unrecognized, and also the occurrence of behaviours that impact on their lives and the lives of those supporting them. In the twenty-first century, few would now challenge the objectives of social inclusion and community support. The tasks for Government and society are to provide special educational support in childhood and also support to the families of children with intellectual disabilities, and the necessary range of services to meet the social and health needs of this diverse group of people in their adult life. This includes enabling adults with intellectual disabilities to gain meaningful support or full employment and to exercise their rights as citizens and to participate fully in society. To achieve such objectives there is a need to be able to characterize the nature and level of need, to establish the presence and significance of co-morbid illnesses and/or challenging behaviours, and to organize and provide support and services to meet such identified needs. This complexity of need has meant that no single ‘label’, such as ‘intellectual disability’, can adequately describe this group of people. What individuals have in common is a difficulty in the acquisition of basic living, educational, and social skills that is apparent early in life, together with evidence of a significant intellectual impairment. However, for some this may be of such severity that, for example, meaningful language is never acquired and there are very substantial care needs. For others, there is the presence of subtle signs of early developmental delay, and evidence of learning difficulties that only becomes clearly apparent at school when there is an expectation that more sophisticated skills will be acquired. The nature and extent of disability and of any functional impairments in general, distinguishing those people with intellectual disabilities from those with specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. In infancy and early childhood, the reason for any apparent developmental delay needs to be established. This is primarily the responsibility of paediatric and clinical genetic services. Such information helps parents understand the reasons for their child's difficulties and may guide, in a limited way, an understanding of future needs and potential risks. Later in childhood, the nature and extent of a child's learning difficulties and a statement of special educational needs is the main task and later still, the main focus may be the assessment of longer-term social care needs. Throughout life, there may also be questions about a child's or adult's behaviour or mental state or the nature and extent of physical or sensory impairments and disabilities. The role of assessment is essentially to determine need and to inform the types of intervention and treatments, whether educational, medical, psychological, or social, which are likely to be effective and of benefit to the person concerned. Systems of classification provide useful frameworks for such assessments.

Most of the time, people of all different ages and with all sorts of mental illnesses go to the same place to see a doctor, get medicines, or participate in counseling. That is, they go to mental health clinics or the office of a mental health professional that provides treatments for a number of different illnesses. Most young people who have psychosis get their medical care and treatment in a hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office. In these places, the doctors and other mental health professionals may have taken special classes about how to help young people with psychosis, but that may not be their only focus. They may see people with other illnesses too. However, in some places around the world, there are special clinics that are for people in the early stages of psychosis. These types of specialized programs have been developed recently, since the 1990s. These programs have a number of different types of mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, counselors, and others. In some programs, mental health professionals and doctors in training may rotate through the clinic spending several months at a time training in the clinic. Some programs, like the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centre (EPPIC) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, operate within the framework of a youth health service. Such youth services treat all sorts of mental health issues in young people. Other programs are located primarily in adult mental health facilities. Such programs may offer classes or group meetings just for people who recently developed psychosis and other classes or group meetings especially for the families of these young people. Typically, these programs provide someone with 2–3 years of treatment. They usually do a full evaluation of the patient every few months and keep track of how he or she is doing. If the patient needs more care afterwards, they help him or her find another program for longer-term care. In this chapter, we list some of these clinics located in various parts of the world and describe what these specialized early psychosis programs provide.

This chapter addresses deficiencies in pre-anaesthesia communication. Here, the use of medical narrative illustrates communication-enhancing techniques and attitudes that may help anaesthetists anticipate and respond to the biopsychosocial content, extant in the pre-anaesthesia assessment setting. By any measure, the pre-anaesthesia evaluation sets anaesthesia care in motion. Until now, little has been written about the development of a learnable framework for effective communication, in this or any other anaesthesia care setting. With respect to pre-anaesthesia communication, the need for heuristics or ‘rules of thumb’ is ever acute to improve rapport, elicit and respond to questions, manage ambiguity, as well as to obtain valid consent. Furthermore, anaesthetists have to communicate effectively with patients about conflicting advice, prior negative anaesthetic experiences and fears about awareness and intraoperative death. A 56-year-old man scheduled for an elective left inguinal herniorrhaphy meets his anaesthetist minutes before surgery is to begin. Three days before, the patient presented to hospital with his hernia incarcerated. It was easily reduced. A follow-up office visit with his surgeon preceded the surgery. The patient’s sole co-morbidity is benign prostatic hypertrophy. On the morning of surgery this otherwise healthy-appearing man, accompanied by his wife, meets the anaesthetist for the first time. After record review the patient is told three anaesthetic options exist—local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation, general anaesthesia and spinal anaesthesia — and that ‘spinal is the way to go’. Unquestioningly, the patient agrees to spinal anaesthesia. The spinal block is easy to place. The surgery is uneventful. Post-operatively, the patient cannot urinate. His discharge from the day-surgery unit is delayed by hours. He is told it is because of ‘the spinal’. Bladder catheterization ensues. The rest of his recuperation is uneventful, except for lingering feelings of betrayal, distrust and disappointment. He wonders why he was not told spinal anaesthesia might cause urinary retention. He becomes angry. He resolves never to use that anaesthetist’s or hospital’s services again. His wife even urges him to sue them both for pain and suffering. What could have been done to effect a more positive outcome for the patient, the anaesthetist and the hospital? The answer lies, at least in part, in improved communication.

I met Channi for the first time when I was a senior house officer (trainee) in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital, and I worked under his supervision for 6 months, in 1998. At that time, Channi was the only Consultant Perinatal Psychiatrist at the Maudsley, covering the Liaison Services at King’s College Hospital, the outreach work, and the Mother and Baby Unit. And, of course, he was leading the academic section. It is perhaps the best tribute to his memory that it takes now three consultants and two academics to do the work that he was then doing all by himself! I was already interested in neuroendocrinology, and Channi was fascinated by the possibility that hormones might have a role in the mental health problems of the perinatal period. At that time, the notion that hormonal changes in pregnancy could have long-lasting effects on the offspring was still at its infancy, and I remember fondly the many discussions on this topic with Channi, sitting at his famous old desk. Channi was a pioneer in this field: he was the first to emphasize the dramatic impact of depression in pregnancy on the wellbeing of mothers and children. I am honoured to be able to continue this line of research today. The intergenerational transmission of stress has powerful clinical and social consequences, consolidating social adversity and psychopathology in future generations. The 2007 Policy Briefing by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe, ‘Preventing child maltreatment in Europe: a public health approach’ (WHO 2007), recognizes that ‘there is an association between maltreatment in childhood and the risk of later . . . becoming a perpetrator of violence or other antisocial behaviour as a teenager or adult’. The report also highlights that the costs are both overt (for example, medical care for victims, treatment of offenders, and legal costs for social care) and less obvious (for example, criminal justice and prosecution costs, specialist education, and mental health provision). In Europe, only the United Kingdom has calculated the total economic burden, estimated to be ￡735 million in 1996 (WHO 2007).

"potential risk of cancer to humans; and chemicals which CAG reviewed because one or more of three organizations (The International Agency for Research on Cancer, the National Toxicology Program Bioassay Program, and the Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) concluded that these chemicals are potential human carcinogens. Report of the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee to the Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency Section 4(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (P.L. 94469) established the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee (lTC) with representation from many of the Federal research and regulatory agencies. This Committee has the continuing responsibility to identify and recommend to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, chemical substances or mixtures which should be tested to determine their hazard to human health or the environment. In the ITC review and recommendation of selected chemicals, priority attention given to those individual or groups of chemical substances or mixtures which are known to cause or contribute to, or which are suspected of causing or contributing to cancer, gene mutations, or birth defects. The list, and reasons for making each recommendation, are required to be published in the Federal Register. Since 1977, the lTC has published eight reports which contain a total of 46 chemical substances or categories of chemicals. One chemical has been removed from the 4( e) Priority List because EPA responded to the Committee's recommendation for testing. Toxic Substances Control Act: Substantial Risk Notification Under Section 8(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (TSCA), anyone who obtains information which reasonably supports the conclusion that a substance presents a substantial risk of injury to human health or the environment must notify the Environmental Protection Agency within days. These notices are then reviewed by the Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances. An initial evaluation of the substance is prepared containing, if appropriate, followup questions to the submitter, referrals." In Dangerous Properties of Industrial and Consumer Chemicals, 20.

This special report summarizes the regional workshop held 24–26 April 2018 at the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Ecological Services Office in Carlsbad, California on the importance of collaboration among federal, state, and nongovernmental agencies to facilitate the recovery of threatened and endangered species (TES). This workshop focused primarily on one species, the least Bell’s vireo (LBVI), and how to achieve full recovery and eventual delisting through agency partnerships. A major theme of the workshop was applying the Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7(a)(1) conservation planning process as a building block towards recovery of LBVI—as well as other threatened, endangered, and at-risk riparian species within the Southwest. The main objective of this workshop was to assemble an interagency and interdisciplinary group of wildlife biologists and managers to detail how the Section 7(a)(1) conservation planning approach, in consultation with the USFWS, can assist in the recovery of LBVI primarily on federal lands but also other public and private lands. Goals of this workshop were to (1) review Section 7(a)(1); (2) outline LBVI ecosystem processes, life history, threats, and conservation solutions; and (3) develop and organize agency commitments to collaborative conservation practices.
