Abstract

For many radiology department employees, from transporters to radiologists, there is a great disparity between meaning well and doing well in the interpersonal arena. The missing ingredient seems to be significant training offered to employees by the institution. Providing the training is also a difficult trick for the institution because the deficits in interpersonal communication are not easily acknowledged by employees. This article has attempted to make a case for providing training and has suggested strategies that may be used by the institution to increase the probability that the training will be taken seriously. Further, a theoretical orientation to training was presented together with suggestions for the process.

[Nutrition and health--genetically modified food].

The genetically modified (GM) crops cultivated at present have new properties of benefit to agriculture. It is expected that in the future GM crops will also be cultivated with more complex genetic modifications that are aimed at improving the nutritional and health value to the consumer. The safety assessment of GM foods before market approval is based on a comparison of the characteristics of the GM food with those of the conventional counterpart. Identified differences are thoroughly tested for their toxicological and nutritional consequences. Supplementary modern analytical techniques are being developed for the assessment of future complex GM foods. No cases of adverse health or nutritional effects in consumers have been reported for the existing generation of GM foods. The feasibility of post-market surveillance of (GM) foods, in order to identify small or chronic effects that have not been noticed in the pre-market phase, is being investigated, yet its value should not be overestimated. Surveillance can be informative in case of specific questions concerning certain products as long as the consumer intake is well documented. To this end traceability and labelling systems must be set up.

Financial and organisational reforms in the health sector; implications for the financing and management of mental health care services.

Since 1980 many developed countries have planned and implemented health sector reforms of different scales and ambitions. Norway has been no exception, and the main political aspirations have been to increase efficiency and improve consumer choice and responsiveness. The major financial reform was the introduction of an activity based financing based on diagnostic related groups (DRG). Other central reforms include legislative rights for patients to choose hospital of their own choice, and the handing over of the responsibility of hospital based care form the county to the state. For some of these reforms mental health care is not included. The aim of the study is to appraise with examples from different countries whether it is feasible include metal health care into the reforms and whether the reforms in general are conducive for mental health care policy goals. The problems are elaborated and discussed at the level of technically and politically feasibility and the costs involved.
