This book was released on 1999 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study was conducted to evaluate the use and perceived effectiveness of occupational safety and health consultative services among Oregon corporations. The three types of consultative services examined: workers' compensation insurance; private; and Oregon Occupational Safety and Health. The research examined if corporations, categorized by corporation size, within the four high-risk industry classes used each of the three types of consultative services. The four high-risk industry classes included: agriculture; construction; manufacturing; and wood products. Based on the results of the study, fewer than one-half of the respondents reported they had used consultative services; however, two out of three respondents indicated they were aware that consultative services were available. Of the three types of consultative services, workers' compensation insurance consultative services were used most frequently. In contrast, private consultative services were used least frequently even though respondents were most aware of the availability of the services. Overall, small corporations, primarily from the agriculture industry class, used consultative services the least whereas large corporations were most likely to use consultative services. Almost half of all respondents, who were aware of the availability of the consultative services and indicated that they had not used or would not use these services in the future, reported that they believed these services were unnecessary for their corporation. In addition, over half of the respondents cited cost as a prohibitive factor in requesting private consultative services. Among those respondents who implemented the recommendations of occupational safety and health consultants, over 84 percent of the respondents felt that the recommendations were either very effective or somewhat effective for all three types of consultative services. Although this percentage of perceived effectiveness was high, the percentage of respondents who reported that consultative services were instrumental in loss reduction was considerably lower than the perceived effectiveness. This finding indicates that respondents' perceived effectiveness of occupational safety and health consultative services include more than loss reduction elements. Future studies need to discern what these additional elements include.

Download or read book Moral Hazard in Health Insurance written by Amy Finkelstein and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the challenge of covering heath care expenses—while minimizing economic risks. Moral hazard—the tendency to change behavior when the cost of that behavior will be borne by others—is a particularly tricky question when considering health care. Kenneth J. Arrow’s seminal 1963 paper on this topic (included in this volume) was one of the first to explore the implication of moral hazard for health care, and Amy Finkelstein—recognized as one of the world’s foremost experts on the topic—here examines this issue in the context of contemporary American health care policy. Drawing on research from both the original RAND Health Insurance Experiment and her own research, including a 2008 Health Insurance Experiment in Oregon, Finkelstein presents compelling evidence that health insurance does indeed affect medical spending and encourages policy solutions that acknowledge and account for this. The volume also features commentaries and insights from other renowned economists, including an introduction by Joseph P. Newhouse that provides context for the discussion, a commentary from Jonathan Gruber that considers provider-side moral hazard, and reflections from Joseph E. Stiglitz and Kenneth J. Arrow. “Reads like a fireside chat among a group of distinguished, articulate health economists.” —Choice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is unique among economically advanced nations in its reliance on employers to provide health benefits voluntarily for workers and their families. Although it is well known that this system fails to reach millions of these individuals as well as others who have no connection to the work place, the system has other weaknesses. It also has many advantages. Because most proposals for health care reform assume some continued role for employers, this book makes an important contribution by describing the strength and limitations of the current system of employment-based health benefits. It provides the data and analysis needed to understand the historical, social, and economic dynamics that have shaped present-day arrangements and outlines what might be done to overcome some of the access, value, and equity problems associated with current employer, insurer, and government policies and practices. Health insurance terminology is often perplexing, and this volume defines essential concepts clearly and carefully. Using an array of primary sources, it provides a store of information on who is covered for what services at what costs, on how programs vary by employer size and industry, and on what governments doâ€"and do not doâ€"to oversee employment-based health programs. A case study adapted from real organizations' experiences illustrates some of the practical challenges in designing, managing, and revising benefit programs. The sometimes unintended and unwanted consequences of employer practices for workers and health care providers are explored. Understanding the concepts of risk, biased risk selection, and risk segmentation is fundamental to sound health care reform. This volume thoroughly examines these key concepts and how they complicate efforts to achieve efficiency and equity in health coverage and health care. With health care reform at the forefront of public attention, this volume will be important to policymakers and regulators, employee benefit managers and other executives, trade associations, and decisionmakers in the health insurance industry, as well as analysts, researchers, and students of health policy.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.
