Abstract

In this study, one of the predictors of ethical conformity concerns participant anonymity. Rather than use personal information such as the names of the participants, the researchers adopted a random coding or numbering procedure. This step would not only assure anonymity but also improve the voluntariness of individuals and selected communities to participate. Another attribute concerns consent provision. In situations where children were involved, groups such as parents, guardians and other relevant authorities were requested to provide permission. By seeking permission, the studies were ethical. Furthermore, the authors acknowledged the contributions of some of the previous researchers and the outcomes presented. This acknowledgement adds to ethical conformity in such a way that the aspect of intellectual property rights was observed to the latter. It is further affirmable that the studies were ethical because data from both primary outcomes and secondary sources was treated in its original form. The implication is that the authors did not manipulate the information, treating it in its original form without intervention. An arising merit of these ethical conformities is that the results are highly reliable and could be used to inform practice regarding issues such as nature versus nurture, infant reactivity, and behavioral inhibition as predictors of personality traits and adult development.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to establish technologies utilized in contemporary delivery of undergraduate health professional education. The objective is to evaluate the impact of networked web-based e-learning and non-networked computer-based e-learning on students’ satisfaction, attitudes, skills, and knowledge, striving to unearth some of the beneficial effects and possible demerits accruing from e-learning adaptation. Regarding methods and data collection, the search strategy combined keywords and search subject headings to capture intervention and participant elements, gaining insights from major educational, psychological, and medical bibliographic databases such as ERIC, Web of Science, CENTRAL, PsychINFO, EMBASE, and Medline. From the findings, student exposure to computer-based learning fostered satisfaction with the intervention when compared to learners exposed to traditional learning methods.

Abstract

Illness, injury, or death disrupt or compromise the quality of the human capital. In turn, even in the wake of companies’ implementation of OHS practices, certain indirect costs are incurred and tend to outweigh direct costs (and decreasing the profitability), yet most of the estimation models proposed and implemented previously emphasize direct costs. The eventuality is that there tends to be a decrease in firm profitability while implementing OHS practices due to two main forces. These forces include the existence of indirect costs and the expenditure on occupational health and safety (OHS) that tends to exceed the amount received from workplace safety and insurance boards. Other costs that are seen to decrease the overall profitability of companies are seen to come in the form of equipment expenses, time off for employees (to participate in OHS reviews and appointments), and medical staff hiring and service costs.

Abstract

The fact that there are more volumes of people applying for the insurance cover, means more cash to take care of the facilities and services that will be at use or at least this is the way the officers in charge of health insurance thought it would be when they were for the idea. Research has shown that the facilities have not been sufficient for the ever-increasing volumes of those applying for the PPACA. The numbers of healthcare practitioners are not enough to handle the number of people. This has placed the redistribution policy’s weight on other sides more than others. The Constitution states that it is the government’s role to fund the states with money to expand Medicaid to help cover the ever-increasing number of the insured population. This means that the government takes the money that has been collected and redistributes it to the various states to finance specific projects that will ensure the population receives the healthcare they need and in return more money is collected from the increase in the increased number of those that come to seek healthcare. According to the constitution, it is also the role of the government to collect the taxes from the wealthy, healthcare industries and private healthcare centers. The money collected is used to finance the Obama care program so that all the healthcare facilities that offer the Obama Care services are well equipped with equipment and skilled medical practitioners.

Abstract

ObamaCare was enacted to control the cost of health care in the United States, with its main aim being to bring the costs incurred by patients down. However, one ethical concern that has emerged over time and needs to be addressed by healthcare administrators is that doctors face the prospect of enhanced incentives for undertreatment rather than overtreatment. It must be noted that ObamaCare offers bundled payment model in place of fee for service models (O'Connor et al, 2013). This means that the hospitals and physicians receive fixed sums for the treatment of a patient’s condition irrespective of the costs incurred by the providers. Essentially, this shows that if the hospitals or doctors treat a patient for less than the preferred bundle, they will retain the excess amount. On the other hand, if their costs are more than the bundled payment, they are compelled to absorb the loss. The ethical concern created under this is that the bundled payments remove the incentives to overtreat the patient while also creating unwarranted incentives to undertreat.
