Leadership by Example pdf
Description

The federal government operates six major health care programs that serve nearly 100 million Americans. Collectively, these programs significantly influence how health care is provided by the private sector. "Leadership by Example" explores how the federal government can leverage its unique position as regulator, purchaser, provider, and research sponsor to improve care - not only in these six programs but also throughout the nation's health care system. The book describes the federal programs and the populations they serve: Medicare (elderly), Medicaid (low income), SCHIP (children), VHA (veterans), TRICARE (individuals in the military and their dependents), and IHS (native Americans). It then examines the steps each program takes to assure and improve safety and quality of care. The Institute of Medicine proposes a national quality enhancement strategy focused on performance measurement of clinical quality and patient perceptions of care.

After the Cure pdf
Description

As alarming stories about new pathogens like the Ebola virus or Mad Cow Disease fill today's headlines, scientists face a test of their abilities to contain them. But public health officials face a crisis of their own, because even when effective treatments become available, efforts to control disease often fall short. After the Cure was written to improve the prospects for effective management of AIDS and other public health crises. Martin Levin and Mary Bryna Sanger draw on cases of previous large-scale public health initiatives to show how management effectiveness can meet threats to public health. Focusing on AIDS as the most compelling contemporary example of the need for change, the authors advocate a commonsense approach that seeks to minimize the chances of failure. They encourage health officials to exercise "strategic skepticism" by developing plans that anticipate potential problems--such as scientific controversy over a vaccine's effectiveness or media se Download After the Cure for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Infection Control for Nursing Homes pdf
Description

When it comes to infection control, compliance is difficult, but the stakes are high. It's one of the biggest challenges your facility faces: Under F-Tag #441, nursing homes must "establish and maintain an infection control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection." With residents frail and at a greater risk for infections such as MSRA, c. difficile, urinary tract infections (UTI), and, according to the Centers for Disease Control, pandemic flu virus, an effective infection control program is crucial--yet nursing homes often lack the resources to identify and control infection. Introducing Infection Control for Nursing Homes: A Guide to Government Standards--the guidance, policies, and staff training tools your facility needs to prevent the spread of infection and avoid one of the top survey deficiencies in the industry.

Government and Public Health in America pdf
Description

How involved should the government be in American healthcare? Ronald Hamowy argues that to answer this pressing question, we must understand the genesis of the five main federal agencies charged with responsibility for our health: the Public Health Service, the Food and Drug Administration, the Veterans Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and Medicare. In examining these, he traces the growth of federal influence from its tentative beginnings in 1798 through the ambitious infrastructures of today - and offers startling insights on the current debate. The author contends that until the twentieth century, governmental involvement in health care policy was nominal. With the sweeping food and drug reforms of 1906 and the Medicare amendments to Social Security in 1965, a whole new system of health care was brought to the American public. A careful analysis of the various programs generated by this legislation, however, shows a different picture of pet projects, budgetary lobb Download Government and Public Health in America for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Public Health in the Market pdf
Description

Can the public health enterprise assure the conditions in which people can be healthy in an aggressively profit-oriented environment? This book examines the challenges and dilemmas, and presents potential solutions for those who work for better health in the face of competition, tight budgets and widening gaps in health and wealth.
Public Health in the Market draws on research, the media, opinion polls, and extensive on-site interviews with practitioners and policymakers to document the problems of our health-care system. It includes an historical account and report of the current status of national and local public health systems; uniquely detailed case studies supplemented with "lessons" gleaned from a comparative analysis; and an interpretive summary of the prospects and possible directions for public health. It raises the question of whether public health is to be a commercial enterprise or an enterprising and universal public service.

From the supplier: The US government should increase its efforts to prevent fraud in the health care system. The problem has not been given sufficient attention due to lack of actual statistical data. Usually, the estimates provided aggravate matters by concealing the magnitude and prevalence of the issue. The government should also increase investments in human inspection of records since the main source of fraud is the use of computers in the payment of health claims and reimbursement of bills.

National Health Policy pdf
Description

Much of the material included in this conference volume differs from what is typically found in similar publications dealing with health policy issues in that it exhibits willingness to re-examine and question the all-too-frequent assertion by many specialists that the transformation of the American health system from a private to a public enterprise is inevitable. It is commonly argued that the American health care system is imperfect: health levels of the population are not the highest in the world; access to health care services is incomplete, especially for the poor and the chronically ill; there are no complete health insurance plans against all medical and related contingencies; and some segments of the population lack any insurance coverage. Moreover, there is medical cost inflation; and despite an apparent unchecked trend to commit a growing share of the national pie to health care services, the system stills fails to eliminate various inequities in the distributi Download National Health Policy for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Vaccine Epidemic pdf
Description

For the first time in paperback, the essential book on the explosive vaccine controversy. Public health officials state that vaccines are safe and effective, but the truth is far more complicated. Vaccination is a serious medical intervention that always carries the potential to injure and cause death as well as to prevent disease. Coercive vaccination policies deprive people of free and informed consent—the hallmark of ethical medicine. Americans are increasingly concerned about vaccine safety and the right to make individual, informed choices together with their healthcare practitioners. Vaccine Epidemic focuses on the searing debate surrounding individual and parental vaccination choice in the United States.

Boundaries of Contagion pdf
Description

Why have governments responded to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in such different ways? During the past quarter century, international agencies and donors have disseminated vast resources and a set of best practice recommendations to policymakers around the globe. Yet the governments of developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean continue to implement widely varying policies. Boundaries of Contagion is the first systematic, comparative analysis of the politics of HIV/AIDS. The book explores the political challenges of responding to a stigmatized condition, and identifies ethnic boundaries--the formal and informal institutions that divide societies--as a central influence on politics and policymaking. Evan Lieberman examines the ways in which risk and social competition get mapped onto well-institutionalized patterns of ethnic politics. Where strong ethnic boundaries fragment societies into groups, the politics of AIDS are more likely to involve blame and Download Boundaries of Contagion for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

If Barack Obama has his way, the American health care system is headed for a train wreck. In this vital expose, Dr. David Gratzer reveals how a government takeover by Washington will put a massive new bureaucracy between doctors and patients, create rationing, and kill the spirit of innovation that has made American high tech medicine a world leader in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Dr. Gratzer, a first-hand witness of the failures of Canada’s healthcare system, shows why socialized medicine will make America sick. Examining the realities of existing health care in this country, Dr. Gratzer reveals how basic free market reforms can revive the private system we already have, without ruining the patient / doctor relationship, stifling scientific advances, and further devastating our economy.

American Health Care pdf
Description

President Clinton's health care reform proposals of 1993 represented the most far-reaching program of social engineering attempted in the United States since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. Under the guise of reforming the health care system, the Clinton plan would have herded almost all Americans under age sixty-five into large, government-sponsored health insurance purchasing alliances that would have contracted with insurers to offer a standard set of benefits at regulated prices. The plan came under fire from both Republicans and Democrats, including moderates from both parties, but it soon became apparent that what doomed it was a public unwilling to trust government to manage their health care. The critical literature has failed to offer a cogent analysis of why government control of health care does not work. American Health Care delivers that analysis. This volume examines why untoward consequences usually follow when government sets out to do good things.
