Whether captured during product development activities such as clinical research trials and studies, or as a part …

Health Literacy, eHealth, and Communication

Many observers believe that the use of emerging interactive health information technologies, often referred to as eHealth,1 can help to improve the quality, capacity, and efficiency of the health care system. eHealth has the potential to improve access to the health care system for traditionally underserved populations and to increase the capacity to pro- vide tailoring and customization for in…

Accounting Policies

Lack of adequate documentation is one of the largest pitfalls facing any accounting system. One of four excuses is usually given: (1) nobody reads it, (2) the hands-on approach in which each person teaches another is a better method, (3) written policies and procedures are too confining, and (4) nobody has the time to write documentation. In a constantly changing accounting world, none of these…

The principal aim of residency training in the United States is to prepare young d…

Value in Health Care

The United States has the highest per capita spending on health care of any industrialized nation—50 percent greater than the second highest and twice as high as the average for Europe (Peterson and Burton, 2009). Current U.S. healthcare costs are projected at nearly $2.5 trillion, about 17 percent of the entire economy (Sisko et al., 2009). The Congressional Budget Office estimated that Medi…

Effectiveness of National Biosurveillance Systems

In 2001, the United States experienced the effects of bioterrorism when envelopes containing anthrax spores were sent through the postal service to several different recipients, including two U.S. senators. It is likely that several thousand people were exposed to anthrax, with antibiotic prophylaxis widely prescribed for those whose exposure was known or suspected. The consequences of this eve…

Ensuring Quality Cancer Care Through the Oncology Workforce

There is currently a crisis in cancer care that experts predict will worsen in the near future due to a rapidly growing population of Americans requiring cancer care combined with an aging/retiring oncology workforce, and inadequate numbers of replacement workers.

But for the majority of workers engaged in managing programmes, in…

Assessing and Improving Value in Cancer Care

Oncology is similar to the other areas in health care in that it is under pressure to control expenditures while maintaining or improving quality of care and patient outcomes such that the value of oncology care is enhanced. Unlike many other areas in health care, the practice of oncology presents unique challenges that make assessing and improving value especially com- plex. First, patients an…

Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data

The goal of eliminating disparities in health care in the United States remains elusive. The findings of the National Healthcare Disparities Report reveal that even as quality improves on specific measures, disparities often persist (AHRQ, 2008a, 2008b). Addressing these disparities must begin with the fundamental step of bringing the nature of the disparities and the groups at risk for those d…
