The medical office manager will select the medical doctors that simultaneously possess two qualities: the necessary knowledge to fill in the plastic surgeon position and background expertise. The recruited candidates will the be subjected to several interviews. The most relevant of these interviews are the technical interview and the psychological evaluation. The psychological evaluation is a rather set procedure performed by a psychologist doctor and it evaluates the individual's thinking and his capability to adjust to external stimuli."

Jack Handy's Virtual Office Management, 2002.
A critical analysis of an article written by Jack Handy in 1995 on the concept of the virtual office.

Abstract
In this essay, the author critically reviews and analyzes an article, entitled "Trust and the virtual organization: How do you manage people whom you do not see" by Jack Handy. In his article, Handy explores the concept of the virtual office and explains the potential effects of the virtual workplace on management, organizations, and society in general. The author of this paper gives a thorough but concise summary of the main points from within Handy's article. Following the synopsis, the author then critically reviews and analyzes the article.
From the Paper
"At the organizational level, Handy says that employee motivation and loyalty will have to be approached in an entirely different way in the virtual organization. In the traditional workplace, the worker was a "hired hand, a human resource, employed to work the assets of the organization. Good pay, good prospects, and a challenging job were enough for most". Handy argues that this has changed, and the human resource in a virtual office, in an information age, becomes one of the most valuable assets of an organization. As such, it becomes increasingly important, and also increasingly problematic, to obtain the loyalty of workers."

The paper then turns to criticisms of Blake?s style of management. It concludes with an overall evaluation of the success of this manager.
From the Paper
"Firstly, Blake?s techniques related to motivating and to building trust and cooperation will be discussed. Blake?s management style is a task-focused rather than a people-focused approach. Motivation is provided by clearly defining the requirements of staff and assessing them on these requirements. This is part of a feedback system where measurable objectives are defined for all employees. Every quarter, employees are then judged on their ability to meet these objectives and rewarded based on their performance."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that office design, which evolved post WWII and was influenced by the Burolandschaft movement in Germany, has changed drastically with the advent of personal computer systems, creating the need for more desk space lighting to reduce the glare on computer screens. The author points out that office design theory recommends color schemes combining blues and creams, which gives the office a calming, airy affect and creates an environment that is appealing to customers and is comfortable and calming to employees. The paper reports the results of an employee survey revealed that the employees were dissatisfied with their work environment and wanted the office to be renovated because the appearance of the office was unprofessional, the office furniture was uncomfortable, the color scheme not satisfying and the kitchen area was unacceptable. Tables, graphs. Questionnaire included.

From the Paper
"As a result of the information provided by the literature review, we can make several recommendations concerning the renovation of the Vartest Laboratory Office. First, management must recognize that the way that the office looks leaves an impression on customers and employees. If the office looks unprofessional, it will not attract the ideal customers. In addition, an office that is poorly designed will cause employees to question whether they are valued by the company. In addition, the company must make a concerted effort to understand that the workplace is a social environment and people's behavior will coincide with the design of that environment."

Electronic Certificates of Medical Necessity, 2004.
An analysis of the usefulness of electronic filing of certificates of medical necessity (e-CMN).

Abstract
Medical billing can now become a relatively painless process for the personnel in a medical facility through the electronic filing of certificates of medical necessity (e-CMN). This paper explains how manually filling out paperwork is very time consuming and is not very cost effective. However, the technological advancements created in the area of medical billing are very efficient. It looks at how, while many offices now fax the CMNs, the incorporation of e-CMNs into the medical office and billing process decreases overhead costs, reduces paperwork, and helps substantially with the on-going battle to comply with the ever-changing Medicare requirements. It argues that, while each of the previous reasons is enticing enough to consider incorporating e-CMNs into the office routine, the increase of revenue is certainly a major benefit and is the direct result of the time reduction with the filing process.
From the Paper
"In September of 2001, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services revised the Medicare Program Integrity Manual (PIM) to include the acceptance of faxed and electronic CMN?s and other electronic communication between suppliers and physicians while improving program integrity (Bachenheimer, 2002). The PIM included instructions for how e-CMNs should be created and used, while also specifying that they must ?adhere to all privacy, security, and electronic signature rules and regulations. Additionally, e-CMNs must contain identical questions/wording to the paper CMS forms, including the same pagination, and identical instructions along with definitions as printed on the back of the hardcopy form? (McClinton, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the directives which guide the actions of the Office of the Coordinator for Counter-Terrorism, as well as its strategies and tactics, its various functions and programs and how the office is organized. The paper highlights how much changed in America after 9/11, especially for a government branch devoted to intelligence-gathering and to security. The paper discusses how the Counter-terrorism Office has grown, with its associations with other government agencies, increasingly complex and involved.
From the Paper
"Whatever the criticisms leveled against the Bush Administration's "War on Terror" by its critics, few can dispute that the United States must pursue a forceful policy against terrorist activities if it is to secure its safety at home and abroad. Certainly, recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the attention granted to anti-terror measures and institutions in light of the fact that 9/11 proved, once and for all, that America too is vulnerable to terror assaults. In addition to the heightened interest surrounding the anti-terror tools America had in place prior to 9/11, the last five-and-a-half years has borne witness to the creation of new institutions geared expressly to fighting terrorism - the National Counter-Terrorism Center chief among them."

Abstract
This paper provides a critical analysis of Alan MacCormack and Kerry Herman?s ?Microsoft Office 2000? (June 20, 2000), to profile the differences in project management in the different permutations of Microsoft Office, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion. Several graphics are also included.
From the Paper
"In July 1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen started a company, originally known as Micro-Soft (the hyphen was removed later). At this time, the market for personal computers was in its infancy; however, Gates and Allen believed personal computers would play a key role in the future (Rosenbaum 1998). This ability to forecast the future has been a continuing theme in Microsoft's growth into the 21st century. Today, Microsoft is a leading developer of personal-computer software systems and applications. Microsoft also publishes books and multimedia titles and offers electronic mail services. The company has sales offices throughout the world but does virtually all of its research and development at its corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington (Lazich 2000). Microsoft developed the operating system for the PC, the first personal computer sold by International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). Millions of copies of the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) were sold for use with IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers and the vast majority of PCs use Windows today. Since it is hard to argue with success, understanding how Microsoft has managed its product development can provide some useful insights and background for how and why the company continues to dominate the marketplace today. To this end, this paper will provide a critical analysis of Alan MacCormack and Kerry Herman?s ?Microsoft Office 2000? (June 20, 2000), to profile the differences in project management in the different permutations of Microsoft Office, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion."

Abstract
The massive United States healthcare system plays an important place in society. Enormous amounts of money spent on health care, fail to a large degree in terms of healthiness or life expectancy. Medical malpractice aggravates this situation due to inflating costs. This paper analyzes how the legal system in the United States is putting pressure on the healthcare system, looks at ways that healthcare delivery has gotten more expensive and potentially more harmful or wary of risk. Tort reform is examined with the potential to help reduce medical costs, but does not seem to be a sufficient long-term goal. Finally, the paper explores the idea of medical courts or tribunals, specialized medical decision makers that could help to increase fair and reasonable judgments for medical malpractice claims.
Paper Outline:
The United States' Legal System is Killing Healthcare
The Impact of the Legal System on Healthcare in the United States
Tort Reform
Medical Courts and Medical Administrative Tribunals
Benefits of Medical Courts and/or Tribunals
From the Paper
"The United States legal system, at both the state and federal level, has never had the direct impact on an industry as it has on the U.S. health care industry. Currently, outside of very lax civil procedure rules, anyone can bring a medical malpractice claim and receive compensation without any factual findings made by a judge or jury. In other words, claimants may receive compensation from defendants without proving their allegations. Parties in medical liability lawsuits can hire so-called experts who routinely testify for the plaintiffs or defendants and skew their testimony towards the side who paid them to testify."

Abstract
This paper indicates that the patient's past medical history includes poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and hypertension and significant obesity; however, at the home visit, he was in no apparent distress. The author points out that the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM) is a method of providing a thorough family assessment in a healthcare setting, utilizing three major categories: 1) The structural dimension of family life, 2) the developmental dimension of the family life and 3) the functional dimension of the family life. The paper concludes that, on the surface, it would seem that all the pathology in this family lies solely in the range of the patient's medical problems; however, the Calgary Assessment Model indicates that many of the issues surrounding his poor diabetic control, weight gain and high blood pressure were related to family dynamics and lack of education surrounding disease state and disease management.

"Home visit was accomplished on 2 April 2005. The visit was accomplished in the midmorning and present at the visit were the patient, Mr. Schelley, his wife of 40 years, Mrs. Annette Schelley, and their 38 year old son, Thomas, who lives in the household with Mr. and Mrs. Schelley. The family lives in a 1200 square foot ranch house in a middle class neighborhood. It is a two bedroom, one bathroom house purchased by the Schelley's five years ago when Mr. Schelley took early retirement from a local manufacturing plant. Thomas returned home about a year ago after separating from his wife. He is currently unemployed and living in the extra bedroom. His presence in the house is a source of significant stress and the cause of many arguments between Mr. and Mrs. Schelley. This write-up was done from information obtained over the course of two home visits.."

Abstract
This paper covers the first medical maps made and includes copies of each map described. The paper describes the disease of malaria and how modern medical mapping is applied to the study of malaria.
Introduction
Medical Maps
Diseases around the World Being Mapped
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds in developing nations. Despite numerous attempts to exterminate it, malaria is one of the few diseases that have been able to continue to spread. During the 1950's, the world health organization stated that Malaria would be eradicated by the use of DDT by the end of the decade. DDT, a miracle insecticide was found in the 1960's to continually decrease in effectiveness. DDT was able to stop large populations of mosquitoes from developing to adulthood. The extermination of mosquitoes, in theory, would destroy the carrier of Malaria, and the disease would die out. DDT was found to have adverse effects in the several environmental areas. The insecticide is soluble in fat. If fish take in the insecticide by consumption of food in an area that has been applied with DDT, then the DDT is concentrated in the fatty tissues of the fish. The fish then can be consumed by a bird, but the bird will most likely consume many fish in one day. This growth in concentration of DDT creates abnormal effects in animals that are high on the food chain. DDT was found to cause the calcium in bird eggs to leech out, making the egg walls very thin, and easily cracked. The cracking of eggs caused the decrease of many bird populations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use n December of 1972 because of the adverse effects the DDT caused. The banning of the DDT chemical for broad use in many highly developed countries spurred the development of other ways to stop the spread of malaria. The extermination of mosquitoes became an unviable avenue. After the banning of DDT in the United State, the focus became clear that Malaria must be contained by the use of drugs that would be distributed to people."

Off-Shore Medical Education, 2002.
This paper examines the alternative forms of medical education due to the high competition and difficult entrance requirements of American medical schools.
3,312 words (approx. 13.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 136.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins by discussing the problems that American students have in being accepted into medical schools. It examines the high entrance requirements and minimum acceptance levels and explains why this has lead to the phenomenon of alternative medical schools opening up abroad for American students. It reviews some of these offshore medical school programs and the options of specialization through these courses.
From the Paper
"Medical school admission is a highly competitive process that only evaluates and admits the most qualified candidates for entrance, and more students apply than spaces available in schools across the United States. The criteria that U.S. medical schools exercise in making their admission decisions are highly rigorous, including grade point average, future potential in the medical profession, communication skills, bedside manner, leadership skills, and extracurricular activities. As a result, many worthy students are not accepted to the schools of their choice and their dreams are often shattered by this reality. Specifically, in the United States, earning a medical degree is a status symbol that garners much respect and attention from the general public, and the profession is highly regarded as a symbol of position and admiration. Therefore, the competition is fierce and medical training is a very difficult and often exhausting process with significant financial and personal rewards for those who complete and excel in training programs. However, many students that cannot gain acceptance to American medical school programs are not necessarily removed from contention and the opportunity to earn a medical degree. Other options are available in nontraditional settings outside of the United States."
