Fulfilling the sisters' promise. The heritage of healthcare's early days.

Members of religious orders--the sisters--built not just Catholic healthcare, but healthcare in America. A good 50 years before Henry and Edgar Kaiser got the idea, prepaid capitated health insurance was being offered by sisters who looked at what was needed and realized this was simply the best way to get it done. The sisters also created the integrated healthcare system at a time when the emerging medical elite wanted nothing to do with any patient who was not socially acceptable and potentially curable. They arranged a continuum of care for the aging sisters within their own communities. And they understood the concept of social medicine, of population-based healthcare, of healthy communities, long before these ideas became commonplace. But the sisters are gone, most of them. The question today is, How do we preserve the sisters' heritage and transfer it to a new millennium, a new healthcare system, and a new set of rules? First, it is important to understand that much of what we remember the sisters for--courage, compassion, vision-was not unique. They created many of the structures that today are the new models; but they were not alone. However, three aspects of how they expressed their vision and their faith were unique to the sisters and must be understood by those who wish to treat the path the sisters blazed. The purity of their commitment and its underlying philosophy--that the helpless and the sick must always be the point of the exercise--should pervade Catholic healthcare to its soul. These women, living in poverty, represented, and still represent, a singular group: a group of women who, having told the world that their only wish is to serve others, humble became CEOs of vast systems and trustees of huge enterprises, without ever abandoning that simple, original pledge. Although they bowed to the rule of obedience, and they were humble, the were fighters. They spoke out against poverty, bigotry, the shunning of those with certain diseases, lack of access to healthcare, stupidity, ignorance, and hate.

Performance appraisal: can we 'manage' away the curse?

Call them what you will--appraisals, evaluations or reviews--performance appraisals seem to be the one organizational ritual that is universally hated. The shortcomings of this ritual, the annual documenting of bouquets and brickbats, are obvious to those who give them and those who receive them. Why do companies continue to do them? To align employee goals with those of the organization; to provide feedback on (and improve) employee performance; to identify training needs; as a basis for merit increases; to document poor performance in case it becomes necessary to defend personnel decisions in court. How can any evaluation satisfy all these objectives? One solution is performance management, a system that helps people manage their actions as a way of helping the organization achieve its goals. Ongoing effort is key to making performance management work. And it gives the employee who's off the track time to climb back on. One company put its appraisal forms online, which allows both employees and managers to update progress continuously. A goal of performance management is to enable employees to see how their objectives tie to the business objectives. Regardless of the system or methods for performance appraisal an organization uses, it will only be as good or helpful as the managers who use it.

Targeted searches: a double-edged sword.

Besides being discriminatory, there are short- and long-term problems inherent in targeted searches. What are the issues rarely considered by companies looking for a quick diversity fix? (1) Internal candidates will bolt when they figure out what's going on. (2) Most top candidates hate targeted searches. (3) Many search firms don't like targeted searches, and some won't even participate in them. (4) Targeted searches can set up new hires for failure. These issues are useful to consider when you begin the search process for your next star.

Hospitals in the year 2000: a scenario.

Hospitals came into the twentieth century as creations of local, usually altruistic, interests and wrestled with accelerating change throughout the decades. Their success brought third-party financing, employee health plans, and government guarantees for charity care. Success seemed to breed success, and they raced ahead with capital investment in bricks, mortar, and high technology, only to find themselves in increasing trouble as 1990 approached. Writing from the precarious perch of the year 2000, the author views the worsening hospital situation and raises questions about the contradictions of federal interventions, the efforts to create "systems," the plight of small hospitals, and the love-hate role of medical staffs. Offered for consideration is a scenario of a health care crisis in the early 1990s comparable to the savings and loan crisis of 1988. However, this time the federal intervention is not simply in dollars, but, instead, brings on a "health for all" program with national financing and decentralized "district health" management. As in other nations of the world, hospitals become an integral part of the commitment to attack the root causes of ill health.

A critical review of reflective practice in its role towards personal and professional development.

Reflection has become a prominent feature in today's nursing. Love it or hate it, the UK Central Council for Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors stipulates that evidence of reflective practice is a requirement for both pre and post registration nurses. While reflection can assist in facing the increasing challenges of nursing, it can also present as a challenge in itself unless nurses have familiarised themselves with the process and feel at ease with it. The issues of reflective practice are explored to determine if it can enhance personal and professional development.

Justifications and needs for diversity in orthopaedics.

America is founded on high humanitarian, democratic ideals. The historic facts of slavery, discrimination, and segregation challenge and taint these democratic principles. Although progress has been made, serious racial problems remain. In 1997, the United States had 474 active hate groups, up 20% from 1996. African American males who have the same education as white males doing the same work earn approximately 75% of what their white counterparts earn. America, as predicted by the Kerner Commission Report, is two societies: black and white, separate, and unequal. Some astonishing disparities in healthcare exist. Peer reviewed medical literature documents that African Americans have higher infant mortality rates, shorter life expectancies, fewer joint replacements, and more amputations than whites. Communications within a diverse group of students and teachers enriches the educational experience. The late Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, LLD, asserted that a medical student from a particular background may enrich classmates' understanding of people whose cultures are different from their own, and improve their ability to serve a heterogeneous patient population. Diversity on clinical teams can enhance rapport between patient and physician, and can diminish unthinking insults to patients, born of physician ethnic insensitivity. Healthcare facilities with diverse staffs are more likely than homogeneous facilities to attract and successfully serve the nation's diverse population. A University of California at Davis School of Medicine study showed that diversity can be achieved without compromising quality of patient care. Clinically and ideologically, diversity in orthopaedics is good for patients and for the country.

Challenge of Goodness II: new humanitarian technology, developed in croatia and bosnia and Herzegovina in 1991-1995, and applied and evaluated in Kosovo 1999.

This paper presents improvements of the humanitarian proposals of the Challenge of Goodness project published earlier (1). In 1999 Kosovo crisis, these proposals were checked in practice. The priority was again on the practical intervention - helping people directly - to prevent, stop, and ease suffering. Kosovo experience also prompted us to modify the concept of the Challenge of Goodness. It should include research and education (1. redefinition of health, 2. confronting genocide, 3. university studies and education, and 4. collecting experience); evaluation (1. Red Cross forum, 2. organization and technology assessment, 3. Open Hand - Experience of Good People); activities in different stages of war or conflict in: 1. prevention (right to a home, Hate Watch, early warning), 2. duration (refugee camps, prisoners-of-war camps, global hospital, minorities), 3. end of conflict (planned, organized, and evaluated protection), 4. post conflict (remaini ng and abandoned populations, prisoners of war and missing persons, civilian participation, return, and renewal). Effectiveness of humanitarian intervention may be performed by politicians, soldiers, humanitarian workers, and volunteers, but the responsibility lies on science. Science must objectively collect data, develop hypotheses, check them in practice, allow education, and be the force of good, upon which everybody can rely. Never since the World War II has anybody in Europe suffered in war and conflict so much as peoples in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo. We should search for the meaning of their suffering, and develop new knowledge and technology of peace.

[Grief among the psychiatric outcare-patients].

The aim of the study is to describe the features of bereavement and the life situation among the bereaved psychiatric outcare-patients. The impact of social support on stress and adaption has been indicated in previous studies. Social support of the patients belongs to the nursing care. The possibilities of the family-centered nursing to support the relatives in bereavement will also be discussed. The sample consisted of new patients' in psychiatric outcare (N = 32). The ground of the need to the care was the dead of their relative. The information has been gathered of the care records and it has been analysed by the content analysis. Following contents have been described: The features of the bereavement and the relations to the relatives. The features of the bereavement consisted of following categories depressive behavior, anxiety, hate and fear, self-destructive behavior and feelings of guilt. Relations to the other relatives consisted of following categories: Rejected by the relatives and disappointed in the relationship. The results indicated, that the patients did not receive social support in their daily life. The family-centered nursing will allow the social support also to the relatives after the dead of the patient.

Breast-feeding initiation: predictors, attitudes, and practices among blacks and whites in rural Mississippi.

OBJECTIVES: We attempted to determine the incidence, predictors, attitudes, and practices of breast-feeding initiation among women in a low-income rural Mississippi community. METHODS: We interviewed 420 new mothers regarding breast-feeding. RESULTS: Ninety-six women (24%) initiated breast-feeding. More whites (44%) than blacks (20%) initiated breast-feeding. Of those 96, 59% planned to breast-feed for <6 months and 38% for 6 to 12 months. Among women who breast-fed, 78% said they did so because it was healthier. Among those not breast-feeding, most (48%) specifically stated, "I have no reason," while 20% hated the idea and 19% lacked time. About 73% of all women had been encouraged to breast-feed by nonphysicians (83%). For both races, the most significant predictor was a breast-feeding friend or relative. CONCLUSION: Breast-feeding rates in the Mississippi Delta are low, especially among blacks. Effective education programs are needed to increase these rates, and such programs should include friends, spouses, relatives, and significant others.

From countertransference to "passion".

Bion's ideas may be extended to describe an emotional phenomenology of the analyst's subjectivity and a methodology which helps differentiate countertransference enactments from fuller emotional participation. Bion called the process of integrating and utilizing one's most basic and important emotions to make meaning, "passion." The analyst's primal feelings--of love, hate, and curiosity--serve as a central organizer of meaning in the analytic interaction. These feelings involve pain, and to the extent the analyst unconsciously decides to evade or foreclose the evolution of the feelings, such that they remain unintegrated in the thinking process, the analyst is liable to become mired in repetitive transference-countertransference experiences without establishing fresh meaning. A case example illustrates the relevance of "passion" to contemporary relational theory and practice.

[Bioethics in genetic diagnosis and therapy].

Human genetics, or medical genetics have been rarely taught in most of the medical schools in Japan, as there are only several medical schools with genetics departments among 80 medical schools in Japan. Bioethics has just been becoming an important issue in the medical community in Japan. People hate to be told of hereditary diseases, possibly due to the traditional concept of hereditary diseases as punishment for the evil acts of the ancestors. Recent rapid progress in genetic diagnosis and therapy, however, requires the medical community in Japan to consider the bioethical aspects related to human genetics. We need proper guidelines, and the efforts have been made by the government as well as by the Society for Familial Tumor to propose practical guidelines for human genetics. They may considerably be different from those in the Western countries.

Multiple perspectives on physician order entry.

OBJECTIVE: Describe the complex interplay of perspectives of physicians, administrators, and information technology staff regarding computerized physician order entry (POE) in hospitals. METHODS: Linstone's Multiple Perspectives Model provided a framework for organizing the results of a qualitative study done at four sites. Data from observation, focus groups, and formal and informal interviews were analyzed by four researchers using a grounded approach. RESULTS: It is not a simple matter of physicians hating POE and others loving it. The issues involved are both complex and emotional. All groups see both positive and negative aspects of POE. CONCLUSION: The Multiple Perspectives Model was useful for organizing a description to aid in understanding all points of view. It is imperative that those implementing POE understand all views and plan implementation strategies accordingly.

Physician behavior at the e-technology/learning intersection: an interview with Elliott Masie. Interview by Richard L. Reece.

Richard L. Reece, MD, interviewed Elliott Masie on January 16, 2001, to talk about the Internet learning world--that vast intersection of e-technology, learning, and human behavior. He describes how he looks beyond the hype of technology into how human beings behave and what they crave in social experiences. The real question, he says, is how do we have knowledge experiences and blend them with social experiences to achieve the optimal mix? Masie emphasizes, "The magic of learning is in the mix--what happens online and then what happens informally when we have a cup of coffee with a colleague." He continues, "Many of the capital market folks hate to hear about the human element, because they want to believe we'll be able to do everything from our PCs. But that's not how humans behave. It's the mixture that gets results. That's where the real excitement occurs."

Willard Carver, LL.B., 1866-1943: doctor, lawyer, Indian chief, prisoner and more.

Willard Carver was a pioneer in chiropractic education who founded seven schools, and ardent legislative leader in Oklahoma, who later suffered indignation from authorities that brought him to the Senate's bar of justice, was convicted and sent to jail. How this episode fostered defeat by a referendum petition of a proposed medical practice act at the polls, laying groundwork for passage of Oklahoma's Chiropractic Act in 1921, is recalled in this paper. Carver became a prolific author of textbooks, a life-long antagonist to Dr. B.J. Palmer, both invested as Indian chiefs, loved and hated by equal numbers of tribesmen and a remarkable chiropractic pioneer of great proportion.

[Karl Abraham, Freud's scapegoat and, guide to understanding the truth].

The history of the relationship between Freud and Abraham is characterized by the presence of third parties. There was always another, more favored one of Freud's disciples between Freud and Abraham. The first of these, from 1907 to 1912, was C.G. Jung. The second, fifteen years later, was Otto Rank. (I will omit Ferenczi, because his relationship with Freud only entered its dramatic final stage after Abraham's death.) Both Jung and Rank eventually showed signs of deviating from Freud's theories, and Abraham, as the guardian of those teachings, called attention to this. As a result, complicated triangles arose between Freud, Abraham and the favored son of the moment. Because of Freud's preference for these psychoanalytic sons, a preference of which he himself was not consciously aware, he resisted Abraham's attacks on them and felt them to be unfounded and destructive. Confusing cause with effect he blamed Abraham for the danger to the psychoanalytic movement which ensued from three conflicts. Freud loved and protected the apostates and made the defender of his theories into a scapegoat. When, however, the apostasy eventually became apparent, Freud renounced whoever was concerned and rehabilitated Abraham. However, until the final separation from the love object, Freud wavered between rejection and affection, hope and disappointment. Then, feeling deceived and betrayed, Freud's love turned to hate.

[Are psychological concepts of Japanese origin relevant?].

This paper was originally given as a lecture in English at the XII World Congress of Psychiatry held in Yokohama, August 2002. Its primary aim was to introduce Morita therapy and the amae psychology to participants from abroad, not as something exotic, but as something intrinsically relevant to them. In my opinion, Morita therapy is based upon Morita's discovery that certain neurotics, whom he eventually named as shinkeishitsu, can recover spontaneously from severe anxiety when placed in isolation and forced to rest in bed without any diversion under the doctor's strict supervision. In other words, only those patients who follow the doctor's advice faithfully through initial isolation and subsequent work-stages can benefit from Morita therapy. It is further argued that it does not do justice to Morita to speculate that he developed his theory and therapy under the influence of Zen. Apropos of the amae psychology what is most noteworthy about it is that its genuine feeling can be conveyed only nonverbally unlike love which one can express verbally when one says "I love you". It is understood that ambivalence refers to the co-existence of love and hate. This love, however, had better be called amae since it is usually nonverbal and not even acknowledged. Narcissism also entails amae, in fact amae turned upon itself, because narcissism consists in denying one's virtual dependence. Interestingly, the word amae alone may suggest a narcissistic state when it is used in the sense of self-indulgence, the usage which is now becoming quite common. Apart from elucidating two psychiatric terms, the concept of amae turns out to be quite handy in describing what transpires in the psychotherapeutic situation including that of Morita therapy. The concluding remark is to emphasize the importance of psychological concepts against the prevailing view of evidence-based psychiatry. It is argued that the objectivity of scientific findings is in the final analysis a postulate guaranteed by the conscience of individual scientists. If so, the same kind of objectivity may be attributed to the observations made by the doctor when he maintains the psychotherapeutic relationship against all odds and also without any compromise of his conscience.

A clinical and SEM evaluation of the efficiency of sofscale gel and hand scaling and hand scaling alone.

The purpose of this study is to compose between hand scaling with abd without the calculus solvent gel (sofscale) and ultrasonic instrumentation at clinical and SEM level. 30 patients belonging to the age group of 17-50 year were selected. Patients selected were subjected to three different scaling modalities namely hand scaling (control), hand scaling using sofscale (Experimental quadrant A) and ultrasonic scaling (Experimental quadrant B), in three different quadrants. Case report forms were used to document the tooth sensitivity, soft tissue pain after scaling, patient preference of instrumentation, ease of calculus removal, patient comfort, soft tissue irritation, time taken for scaling, Bleeding while scaling, pre and post operative sulcus bleeding index. In addition to the clinical criteria, the teeth treated were extracted and evaluated using the scanning electron microscope to show potential effects on cemntal surfaces. No difference in tooth sensitivity was appreciated between control and experimental quadrant A. There was a higher degree of tooth sensitivity when treated with ultrasonic. Patients in control group appreciated a higher degree of soft tissue pain. Hand scaling using softscale produced a lesser amount of pain and treatment with ultrasoincs was the least painful. Most of the patients preferred ultrasonic scaling (70%) Calculus removal was easier. Hand scaling using sofscale gel results in more patient comfort when compared to hand scaling alone. There was no significant difference in patient comfort between handscaling using sofscale and ultrasonic scaling. The percentage of reduction of sulcus bleeding index showed no difference between the 3 scaling modalities SEM evaluation revealed that there was no significant difference the 3 scaling modalities in relation to residual calculus, cleaning efficiency and damage to the root surface. This study concluded that treatment with sofscale gel appears to be safe and effective method for removal calculus as this did not damage cemental surfaces, nor did it cause any damage to soft tissue. "Your tratar is your calcified hate. Not only the microflora in your oral cavity but also your muddled thoughts, your obstinate squinting backward, the way you regree when you mean to progress, in other words, the tendency of your diseased gums to form germ catching pockets, all that, the sum of dental picture and psyche, betrays you, it is stored up violence, full of murdero us designs" Gunter Grass.
