Managing the medical record on a concurrent basis: facts and possibilities.

In 1987, six Yale graduate students set out to study the concurrent review methods used in key hospitals across the US. They examined the advantages and disadvantages of concurrent review and the tie-in of medical record concurrent review coding with utilization review activities. The first part of their report is published this month, with the conclusion appearing next month.

Managing the medical record on a concurrent basis: facts and possibilities. Part 2.

In 1987, six Yale graduate students set out to study the concurrent review methods used in key hospitals across the US. They examined the advantages and disadvantages of concurrent review and the tie-in of medical record concurrent review coding with utilization review activities. The first part of their report appeared in the May issue of JAMRA. The second part appears below.

[Analysis of atmospheric pollutants with coupled gas chromatography-atomic absorption or thermodesorption-gas chromatography].

We have perfected a specific and original analytical method suitable for organic and inorganic compounds using sampled run-off water collected nearby a filling station. The dissolved lead species are volatilized by substituting the inorganic ligands with hydrogen, using sodium-borohydride in a suitable reaction medium (H2O2, KOH). The volatile lead hydrides are then trapped on a gas chromatographic column filled with Chromosorb W impregnated with 2% of OV 275 and immersed in liquid nitrogen. After desorption, the products are analysed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. We have carried out the analysis of aldehydes mixtures, sampled from a smog chamber. They are trapped, at room temperature, in a glass column filled with Tenax. These pollutants are then heated at 250 degrees C under a flow of nitrogen, and trapped again in a melted silica capillary column at -110 degrees C. This trapping being over, the column is drastically heated at 200 degrees C, which drives the products into the capillary column of a gas-chromatograph apparatus. This method has also enabled us to carry out a direct analysis of these pollutants sorbed on particles which have been placed into the glass column. this thermodesorption-gas chromatography system, coupled with a mass-spectrometry apparatus, allows us to identify and analyse most atmospheric pollutants.

Upper limb injuries associated with rock climbing.

Four cases of upper limb injuries secondary to rock-climbing or training for rock climbing are presented. All four cases had diagnosis and treatment delayed because of unawareness of the range of injuries seen in high grade rock climbing.

The informal rationing of primary medical care.

All social services are rationed, yet the effects of such rationing on the client are rarely fully explored. This article reviews the evidence on the existence of informal rationing devices in general practice. It examines the effects on patients of a wide range of informal rationing devices now used by individual general practitioners. Various suggestions for reforming the present rationing of primary medical care are evaluated and the likelihood of any reform being carried out is assessed. Although this article concentrates solely on rationing in the primary care sector of the National Health Service, the issues discussed are relevant to most welfare agencies as they are presently organized.
