Early Feeding After Colon Rectal Surgery
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper. Historically, it has been believed that early oral feeding following colon rectal surgery is not possible. Instead, the traditional protocol is to withhold oral feeding until the resolution of ileus. These beliefs are based on practices that are more than 100 years old. Science has come a long way since then. This essay reviews five separate journal articles that report outcomes and results of early feeding protocols, including one that presented a review of the literature. In each case, early feeding was consistently shown to be safe and beneficial. The writer also comments on the implementation of postoperative early feeding. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Economic Considerations in Healthcare Decision Making
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper discussing the economic effects of policy makers’ decisions, both on healthcare and on the larger economy. The presence of the third-party payer masks the effect of elasticity of demand for health care, as it does its microeconomic effects. It does not mask the results, however. As politicians continue to haggle over the future of Medicare and it continues to set the standard for private health insurers, increasing numbers of households can expect to have decreased access to health care. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Economic Factors Affecting Home Health
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing economic factors affecting the home health care industry. The bottom line for home health is that it is likely to be increasingly attractive to third-party payers because of its much lower cost relative to hospital or nursing facility care. Forecasts are only guesses, but they are not blind guesses. Ranking eighth among the Bureau of Labor Statistics' forecasts of industries with the largest wage and salary growth over the next decade bodes well for home health care as an industry. It will be left to individual businesses to take advantage of external economic conditions. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Economics Principles in the Health Care Environment
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page outline of a presentation of the effect that health care costs have on the larger economy. The issue is whether basic economic principles such as supply and demand and price elasticity apply to health care. The superficial view is that health care is above the law of economic principles, but the fact is that it is not. The paper discusses increase in per capita spending from 1960 to 1998 and stresses that as more is spent on health care, there is less for families, individuals and the government to spend on other things including education and medical research. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Elasticity of Demand: Health Care

Emergency Medical Services Communication Barriers to Access for Prostitutes, Transsexuals and the Homeless Population
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper with added tutorial language discussing the emergency medical services communication barriers which exist in the special populations of prostitutes, transsexuals and homeless populations. Although various emergency and health care services are offered in Toronto and the province of Ontario, the populations of homeless people, prostitutes and transsexuals are reluctant to use these services. All three of these populations have reported harassment, and “treat ‘em and street ‘em” minimal services from emergency health care services. This adds to the reluctance to contact these services in addition to the fear of contacting official agencies because of the legal implications. Incidence of drug and alcohol abuse and underage prostitution in addition to the high degree of violence associated with prostitution lead to an obvious initial degree of reluctance to contact authorities in regards to emergency assistance. Unfortunately, these populations have a higher need of emergency services than most due to the increase risk of substance abuse, exposure to disease and in the case of transsexuals, complications due to the administration of hormones. Despite the findings from most studies, initial examination of services offered in homeless shelters in the Toronto area show that these first contact agencies do not include access to emergency and health care services. In order to improve communication to these populations first contact should perhaps be instigated through these initial services.
Bibliography lists 7 sources.
