Evaluation of the Lovell Federal Health Care Center Merger

The Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center (FHCC) in North Chicago, Illinois, is an effort by the Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Defense (DoD) to create a national model for joint delivery of health care that is more accessible and less expensive than operating two federal medical centers serving overlapping beneficiaries in the same area.

Hidden Financial Risk

When I graduated with a doctorate in 1977, I researched and published articles on main- stream topics, particularly current value accounting and the interaction between earnings and cash flows. After a while, it occurred to me that these are not the crucial issues of financial accounting and reporting. Ethics and honesty and fairness to financial statement users comprise the foundational issues…

Improving Diagnosis in Health Care

It began as a practical activity in response to perceived needs, and for most of its development it has progressed in the same way, adapting to meet changes in the demands made on it. Where the needs differed in different countries or environments, accounting tended to develo…

In January of 1997 Canada's Department of National Defence carried out an epidemiological survey…
