Abstract
This paper explains that the Indian Central Government Health Scheme was launched in 1954 with a dual purpose of providing a comprehensive medical care facility to the Central Government employees and pensioners including their families and to do away with the cumbersome system of medical reimbursement; however, the purposes for which the scheme was launched appear to have been lost given the introduction of private medical care. The author investigated 364 cases, as a random sample from the Postal & RMS (Railway Mail Service), located in the NCR of Delhi and the city of Bangalore, by analyzing the financial implications of treatment at various types of hospitals: Government (GOV), Private Recognized (RP) and Private Unrecognized (UP) hospitals under the CGHS scheme. The paper reports that the percentage satisfaction level for IP treatment in private hospitals is greater than the government hospitals and investigates extensively possible private insurance schemes involving the government. Many tables and charts.

From the Paper
"Budgetary allocation to CGHS scheme is made every year under various heads based on projected requirements of the CGHS dispensaries. There is no analysis of performance of the dispensary or review of utilization of funds while making fresh allotment of funds. Their utilization neither is monitored nor is any expenditure-benefit analysis carried out. Although the scheme was introduced with welfare angle, it is no denying the fact that the money allocated to the dispensaries should be properly utilized and the benefits should overweigh the expenditure. In the present practice, there is no monitoring mechanism to ensure efficient utilization of funds by the dispensaries, one of the reasons for the same being non-maintenance of financial/cost records properly."

Consumer Driven Health Plans, 2006.

Abstract
The paper discusses Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHP) and how these plans can reduce medical spending. The paper examines the rising cost of health care and how health insurers have developed new and innovative ways of dealing with the ever pressing issue moral hazard has had on overall medical spending. The paper further analyzes how through consumer driven health plans, health insurers hope to encourage more conservative and responsible consumerism as patients are forced to pay higher out of pocket costs for medical services.
From the Paper
"Year after year, as the cost of health care continues to rise and the American public's frustration continues to grow, those with influence over the market have begun to offer new and innovative solutions in the hopes of curbing the ever rising prices a broken system has helped to create. In a flawed design where everyone but the consumer is picking up the tab - the employers, health insurers, and government, it's of no surprise that Americans have been more than indulgent in their consumption of medical services. Unfortunately, this careless consumption, driven by moral hazard, is what continues to drive the overall cost of health care up at a rate of inflation higher than that of other goods and services. Now, in an effort to reduce the most costly of effects attributing to the rising cost of medical services, health insurers have focused on reducing moral hazard through the introduction of consumer driven health plans (CDHP)."

National Health Plan, 2002.
Discusses the need for a national health plan in the United States.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze how and why a national health plan should be introduced in the United States. Health care in the United States is a big business. As such, a national health plan threatens the bottom lines of gigantic health maintenance organizations who have fought national health care consistently. They fight a plan that could cause their demise, but ensure the increased health and well being of millions of Americans. The paper argues that it is time we stopped letting big business set the agenda for the health of the American people.
From the Paper
"However, there were many proponents to the plan. Some experts felt the plan was not comprehensive enough, and did not cover enough basic, preventative health care. For example, the plan did not cover some areas of mental health treatment, such as alcoholism. Others felt it should not be affiliated at all with health insurance plans. Then there were the social implications of including such treatments as abortion, physician assisted suicide, and euthanasia in the areas of treatment. All of these concerns were eventually answered, but they raised questions in the minds of the public that were never quite eliminated."

The 1993 Health Care Plan, 2002.

Abstract
This paper will take a detailed look at the 1993 health plan and concentrate on the effects it had on the insurance industry. The prevailing sentiment among insurance companies was that the 1993 was unequivocally 'bad' for their business. After six years of lobbying and the application of economic pressure, insurance companies feel that the 1999 reforms are a step in the right direction after the botch-job launched in 1993. In brief, the paper will show what happened in 1993, how health care changed as a result of the 1993 plan, how insurance companies reacted to the plan, whether or not insurance companies acted rationally (i.e., is there economic support for their negative reaction?), and how the present situation meshes with the insurance companies' recommendations for change. .

Letter to Senator Clinton
The Facts about Healthcare
From the Paper
"While it is true there are frustrating delays in terms of accessing care in the United Kingdom, Canada, and other nations with single-payer nations, it is also worthy of reflection that both anecdotally and statistically, Americans must wait for a long time, for approval for payment from their insurance companies for procedures, and in the waiting rooms of many Emergency Rooms that are filled to the brim of individuals who use the facility as a site of primary care, because they cannot afford a regular physician. Americans may even find their coverage denied after the fact, if their condition is deemed a 'preexisting' condition not covered by the insurance policy they possess."

Abstract
The paper discusses the vast differences between the cost of health services in the United States and the delivery of health services in the United States. The paper examines how measuring the success of medical care is one of the greatest challenges that regulators and providers face in assessing the current level of care and the success of new plans that are designed to alleviate the stresses being placed on the current system. The paper analyzes the groups attempting to find an accurate measurement tool for assessing the quality of care for managed care plans.
Outline:
Part 1: Expectations of Quality
Current State of Quality Measurement
Stakeholder Expectations
Part II: A Case Study
Part III: Source Evaluation
From the Paper
"Currently most performance measures are developed internally by the organization (Isham). This creates a situation on a national level where research and development capabilities cannot be used on a national level. Private standardization is better than no standardization, but this is not likely to lead to the changes needed on a national level to help control the crisis."

From the Paper
" Americans will spend roughly $1.16 trillion in health care this year (Wood & Mackenzie, 1993, p. 25). The high costs are compounded by a profitable health insurance industry that in recent years has offered clients less protection from catastrophic medical bills. About 34 million Americans, or 14 percent of the population, lack any health insurance. As a presidential candidate, Clinton promised to introduce radical heath reform, and most Americans say they concur: recent surveys indicate that Clinton has the backing of 80 percent of the population for a policy that would guarantee universal access to medical care (Wood & Mackenzie, 1993, p. 25).
The President's plan proposed that consumers be able to choose between a traditional fee-for-service plan, managed care, or health insurance. He wants employers to cover 80 percent of.."

Abstract
This paper uses the Roper-Logan-Tierney nursing model to discuss the care planning requirements of a patient admitted for respite care with chronic bilateral leg ulcers. It looks at how the assessment of a patient using the Roper, Logan and Tierney nursing model allows us to identify problems, which are not purely medical in nature and shows how in this particular case, care issues include pain, nausea, SOB, hygiene and UTI. It also discusses staff attitudes to pain and wellness.
From the Paper
"The next listed problem for the patient was nausea. This was a fairly constant sensation that had not led to vomiting. The patient seemed to think that it was not as acute at the time of admission as prior. However, it had led to a loss of appetite. It had been decided, with patient consultation, not to prescribe any antiemetic, unless the symptoms became more severe or recurrent. This made it important to monitor the situation in addition to the fact of loss of appetite can lead to a depressed state and further nausea. It has been shown that there has been a lack of attention to the nutritional status of older patients in NHS hospitals in England and Wales over recent years (Association of Community Health Councils for England and Wales, 1997)."

Private Health in India, 2006.
A look at the issues concerning the private health care sector in India.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Despite being a significant player in the delivery of health services, the private sector has been largely overlooked by Indian policy-makers while formulating policies for achieving the goal of "health for all". This paper attempts to analyze the current characteristics and structure of the private sector in health services, its strengths and weaknesses and proposes options for a coherent framework of policy and action to meet the national health objectives.
From the Paper
"The State's role has been actively debated, particularly in the context of globalisation and economic liberalization in India. One school of thought argues that excessive State intervention has stifled private initiative, creating a burgeoning bureaucracy and fiscal imbalances. With inefficiency and corruption eroding public confidence, leading commentators have suggested limiting the State's role to essential functions like Defence, Law and Order and External Relations. "

Abstract
Introduction
Main Discussion
Analysis of Key Factors
Analysis of Entry Mode to be Used
Other Factors Affecting Decision
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The typical Internet Cafe is configured with between seven to ten computers, with printers, scanners, video conferencing equipment, and website development expertise is available in larger metro locations. It is common to also find in the larger metro Internet cafes workspaces or what is called in these locations "work cabins" where Internet browsing privacy is assured. This is one of the biggest reasons why students are drawn to Internet cafes for their e-mail and Instant Messaging, and online gaming activities. Almost all of these facilities, especially in the larger metro areas are air conditioned and provide both social networking and gaming areas. The business model is that of charging a per hour rate for Internet access, with additional charges for value-added services including the development of websites, developing e-commerce sites for local small businesses, and connection in the metro area via wireless access in the most populated areas of India's major cities. It is common for the franchised Internet cafes to have alliances with national telephone and broadband providers."

Mental Health and Physical Health, 2005.
Discusses the reasoning behind two beliefs - whether or not mental health should be treated on par with physical health.

Abstract
There are two arguments regarding the treatment of mental health. Some believe that it should receive the same amount of health care coverage as physical illness, while others argue that the costs of treating mental illness could lead to severe problems. To better understand these arguments, this paper examines two articles, "Mental Health Should be Treated on Par with Physical Health," by Lewis L. Judd, and "Mental Health Should Not be treated on Par with Physical Health," by Richard E. Vatz, as well as two of their reference sources.
From the Paper
"Martin Bobgan and Deidre Bobgan, the writers of an article titled, "Mental Illness is not a Disease" would probably agree that spending money on mental illness, and treating it equally to physical illness would be a lost cause. Although their opinion is much more drastic than that of Richard Vatz, all three writers would probably seem to agree that covering mental illness in insurance coverage would not be helpful to society. In the article, Mental Illness is not a Disease," Martin and Deidre Bobgan profess that people "continue to promote the false concept of mental illness, to align it with medicine, and consign it to science." It is apparent that these writers believe that the mental state and one's physical well-being fall into completely different categories."
