Rear Leg Twitching Dog
Elpais.com article published in the May 10, 2011 Jaume Puig-
Junoy and Marisol Rodríguez Martínez
While almost no one questions our pharmacy copayment, although that requires urgent reform, there is a priori rejection to assess the appropriateness Other co-payments introduced in the health system.
Nine of the 15 countries of the EU-15 are co-payments for all types of services: doctor visits, hospitalizations, pharmacy, dental and other services such as emergency, diagnostic tests, medical transportation, prosthetics, etc. Of these nine countries, seven have a health system that responds to the Social Security model (model Bismark) and two Nordic countries (Finland and Sweden) with the national health system Beveridge. Social security systems usually have a higher coverage level, as stipulated and defined explicitly, with great level of choice and many co-payments.
in national health systems in Northern Europe the coverage is often also large, but also pay more taxes and there are many co-payments, although limited in amount and usually linked to income level. In no country is equated with free universal access absolute time to use the services.
is well known that when something is fully insured, individuals tend to show less care to conserve and care. Moreover, as we have already paid "and it cost us zero in the time of consumption, we tend to over-consumption. The objective of copayments is threefold: moderate consumption, co-responsible citizens, to get the services not to consume less valuable than those not to affect health and, sometimes, serve as additional source of funding health. Misapplied, however, have problems.
If there are no limits or maxima, can be a "tax" on the sickest. If not linked to income level (which may achieve exemption), the burden of co-payment ends up being much greater in terms relative in the case of the poor than for the rich. If you set uniformly regardless of the effectiveness of the service or treatment, the patient left the difficult decision to discriminate between the more valuable and less valuable.
If affecting only one type of goods or level of care, you run the risk of deviations from consumption to those goods or level was not affected and the cost ends up being higher. Finally, failure to protect the poor and the sick, may be a compensation effect and eventually generate more spending than is saved by the deteriorating health of the most seriously ill. Therefore, the debate on the copayment should not be raised as a extreme choice between yes and no.
In Spain, the design of the copayment on drugs is too simple and has not changed since 1978 and applies only to active workers, who pay 40% of the cost of the recipe, with the exception of certain drugs for chronic treatments in which the copayment is 10% with a cap of 2.64 euros. During this time we have observed that encourages overconsumption. The change of status of non-pensioner pensioner an increase in the number of recipes that otherwise would not have occurred (moral hazard): the consumption per person increased about 25% in the first year free. The financial impact for the public (free over moral hazard) may increase spending by more than 100%.
is also inequitable. To be independent of the economic, a pensioner who charge a higher pension or has an estate millionaire pays nothing, while an unemployed person or a family with young children mileurista, pays.
Ultimately, we would recommend: 1) modify the design of pharmaceutical co-payment, eliminating the arbitrary distinction between active and retired, and include outpatient hospital drug dispensing, 2) introducing a fixed co-pay visits, and in emergencies, 3 ) to introduce fees covered ancillary services and public prices for services not currently covered, 4) modular co-payments based on clinical and cost-effectiveness with copayments avoided whenever possible, and 5) implement mechanisms to protect the economically weaker and more ill. This could include setting a maximum contribution limit per quarter or year depending on family income, with total exemption from the lowest income, whether from work or pension, and special treatment for illness chronic or multiple conditions. Co-payments and other forms of contribution should not be impoverished by what the limit should be a small percentage of family income.

How To Make Eyeshadow With Pigments
This time I will join the cliché that "nobody can be right with others if it is not himself." Subscribe to the famous phrase of pop psychology on a sunny day, as I write this because you read in the last days I've noticed how bad they are to give ourselves what we need and also what we are doing outstanding others happy without thinking if we're really happy. They say this is an evil more feminine than masculine. Men tend to selfishness and generosity women. Beware of gender clichés I say, because the truth is that over time I have known men generous and selfish women and vice versa. I've seen friends get rid of details and attention to conquer and take care of your girl while she just looks at them and I've seen women who believe that giving without asking anything in return is the only legitimate form of true love.
Solitude terrifies and seduces. Terrified because it generates silence in which we face ourselves with all our abilities and weaknesses. Terrified because we can take stock and realize how close we are apart or our emotions and needs. It also allows us to make a quick diagnosis of depression. If I is unbearable loneliness or as I run only one hit and no agenda to stay put at home or worse, in bed, is likely to be depressed.
and seduce, it may be the opportunity to do all those things we've been putting off for lack of time to adjust to someone else's agenda and a belief that is a waste of time to dedicate to our stuff. Also appealing because it opens the symbolic space where one can think, reflect and consider the elements that make rapid life and shortly we stop to feel and understand.
Another cliché that today does not sound so bad: "get your center." When I heard this phrase sounded very hippie, impractical, too metaphorical. After reading and thinking about it, I realized that is pretty accurate. It has to do to regain the balance. In yoga, for example, it is impossible to have balance in certain positions if you're not focused. If you're half loaded on the left or right body or mind, you tend to go sideways or flat to falling. Thus we also happens in life. If we are charged to a single aspect of our lives, we take the remaining balance and tend to fall. Chamba generates pure unimaginable stress, pure devote to caring for a relationship generates dependencies painful pure be the best mother in the world makes you live life through your children distanciándote of your individual projects. Recover
center in addition to balance activities in the practical sense of the term, has to do mainly with inner peace and regain the ability to respond to what happens to us, not just overreacting. Respond appropriately requires quiet, reflection, reconsider if you are walking down the path you chose, or are walking the path he chose one. Today Sunday
sun
appreciate the opportunity to be alone in silence, no radio, no TV, no phone, no couples, no children, no hurry, no worries. Just living the present moment, feeling the wind coming through the window, watching my thoughts pass without trial, or clinging to them. Today I realized, thanks to the solitude circumstantial, that being alive is a gift really, to have physical health is too. Emotional health that comes and goes but we must try to look after her, taking care of ourselves, treating us rather to understand, validate our efforts, recognizing what hurts us, celebrating what we work out. Giving us time for us now to accept, to welcome, to let go of what hurts, to re-start something that was dropped. To fill them with books and music or leave them empty without fear of anything. All this was revealed to me today. They are sharing with the hope that the next time you are alone do not feel miserable or unhappy or sentimentality Sunday, but his own life, grateful just to breathe.

is clearly a measure upon which to establish a healthy debate about the number of nuances involved in its implementation: it is they who can turn the idea into a success or a failure with terrible ease. Some, as in Otto Neurath, welcomed the measure, but it raises reasonable doubts about the details known about their possible implementation: "Why just downtown?, why only high school, how to encourage students from social backgrounds that make them less likely to reach excellence? [...] Do not have to be the opposite: pay more to teachers who stay with students less "grateful"? ".
Madrid will create a dedicated facility for excellent students: ill. Elite athletes have places for High Performance: good. WTF?

How Much Flavour Is Needed To Make Vodka Cruisers
I continued to surprise the media attention and state initiatives "naïve" of the Autonomous Communities on pharmaceutical management and lack of attention paid to an urgent debate on the financing of health care in the NHS. Let's see how long we take to follow the example of countries like UK, Germany, Holland and Sweden and submit the decision-making on health innovations to filter independent agencies and expert committees as a condition to defend the value of efficient and effective innovations and ensure that limited resources were allocated to treatments that are worth their cost.
The public health management and budgetary responsibility for the cost of appropriate care many years ago from all the Autonomous Communities. In times of severe economic downturn and cuts in public budgets can not escape that health is not only normal but necessary for those with responsibility for managing care and resources, including drugs, try to implement measures rationalization of spending the least possible impact the health of patients.
not be overlooked that it is questionable that anyone who manages attention, the Communities have to fit into your budget, without compensation, and without having had the opportunity to participate in the decision, recognized the prices of new drugs entering the market and public funding. This is most disturbing to say the least transparent, objective and based on cost-effectiveness criteria are these decisions with obvious budgetary impact. More questionable and inefficient would be that our public health managers are not capable of trying to buy the necessary resources to restore our health with the best quality possible and the lowest price. There is no justification for what managers do with any other remedy prostheses, for example, can not do with the purchase of medicines.
However, since some time ago is occurring continuously and disturbing and in my opinion a wrong interpretation or interested in the NHS territorial cohesion, equity and what some call the breakdown of the market. This concern has been saying repeatedly, and even blunt by providers not only affected but also of the Ministry, when communities seek to adopt simple measures of pharmaceutical benefit management that go beyond trying to buy a medicine the lowest possible cost effective where alternatives are available with prices different in the market. These are measures that use different tools in practice are basically this objective it is difficult to object when the quality of less expensive alternatives is warranted. In this group of proposals included measures like the "catalog" gallego, auctions for certain active ingredients of Andalusia, fewer opportunities for the prescription of certain brands, provided they have a higher price than the alternatives, by requiring justification therapy or delisting electronics, etc.
If the measures are designed to bring back prescription drugs equivalent to chemical (pharmacological and therapeutic equivalence should not be discarded before analysis in detail but, at least for now, is not the case) and a lower price, then you can claim to be efficient measures that have nothing to do with the references to inequity or alarmist assumptions and attacks on cohesion "nationalizing" the NHS. To the extent that ensure access to effective treatment, the budget manager has to have capacity and flexibility in making purchasing decisions (can not forget that the state already subtracted without further demonstrate capacity measures inclusion in the coverage and price innovation), otherwise, it would be logical decentralization of health management and budgetary responsibility of the Autonomous Communities.
The "cataloguiños" shorter lists in electronic prescribing and other measures should aim to promote the prescription of cheaper equivalent and give a clearer signal to the market that gives the current reference price system that The financier has to be very sensitive (an economist would say that is very elastic) to price differences between equivalent.
Another thing different would be if the measures were used to discriminate against price equal to the brands of the same active ingredient or a different approach to encourage lower prices. In this case we are considering a bill that flagrantly violates the principles of competition. It remains curious that this violation is grossly present in state regulation of a more favorable mandatory substitution of generics in certain cases despite not having a lower price and that, conversely, is the state that with simple measures management of regional shopping takes the ghost of market disruption and lack of cohesion. This is just the opposite, if these measures are designed properly, the effect they will have is to encourage price competition among producers with improved social welfare and contributing to the moderation in spending.
Equity in this context should rather be understood as equality of opportunity of access to effective care for the same need. From this point of view, equality and fairness is ensured if it is financed with the appropriate co-payment, how best to present the active ingredient prescribed by doctors to the patient. Equity, equality and cohesion have nothing to do with the brands or manufacturers whose products are prescribed, but with the quality and, more importantly, to the adequacy and effectiveness of prescription depending on the needs of the patient. What if attentive to the cohesion of the NHS and their own quality of care, for example, documented the high and inadequate prescription of antibiotics, antidepressants or medications for osteoporosis.
better idea than trying to step on and plug these initiatives that the regulator would ensure that multiple autonomous measures fit into the framework of the measures of competition and pilots were started each of the initiatives with an independent assessment of their impact.
On the other hand, we must be realistic and know that you can not expect big savings on public spending in the short term such measures. Its value lies more in the middle and even the long term and signals Dan is both producers as patients on a public demand that must be a very elastic products sustitutos ante.

Iritis And What Can I Do About It

Zeb Atlas Mark Dalton Blog
beds will close, any bid farewell, no operating rooms will open in the afternoon ... The answers given by hospitals in order to proceed to the internalization of the public budget cuts announced by the government of Catalonia are rather unimaginative and seem more managers only being used to manage incrementalisme year after year than managers who have to account for the results they have achieved in health for its population.
aside if the cut is appropriate care, I suspect that if hospitals will probably undergo an adequate dose of healthy competition, the market response to a narrower and less ability to spend would be radically different.
should not go unnoticed in patients and taxpayers to talk constantly to one side of the balance, the fact that this year we have less money for health, ignoring the other side of the scale, quality of service we offer the patient with the money we had so far and have not again for many years.
rather inclined to think it would be helpful to the defense of quality public health is not contracted with our health centers How many doors closed to patients but will proceed to assess the ability of public money and resources assigned to them to improve the quality of life and save lives if we spend as we have done so far and if we can find ways without do more to achieve better health outcomes activity.
Although it is a marginal pass must pay for more visits to the doctor, specialist or emergency room, or for more x-rays, CT or resonances, or to make more revenue and income re- Hospital to pay, even a small part of the budget, decision-making capacity and health outcomes. In doing so, the current debate is circular and endless, if you give me less, I will do less business. It's common sense, but perhaps worth remembering that our tax money allocated to public health to make more visits to the doctor, by the way already make more than necessary, but to have more health and quality of life.
Most centers announced that eligible after Easter to reduce extra services, operating rooms to close and dismiss staff possible. A reduction in the supply of services should not surprise anyone that affect waiting lists for a specialist visit, a diagnostic test or an intervention. This will so if we continue doing the same and just as far.
Like any patient and physician know, not all views, not all tests nor income and all surgeries have the same contribution to improving the quality of life and survival. The effect on quality of care and patients' health in a shrinking budget will be higher if done in a uniform or nearly so opportunist without using criteria based on knowledge about the clinical benefit or improvement in health can be achieved for each patient.
can not pay for visits but only to resolve satisfactorily episodes and health problems. Can not afford to produce only emergency visits or hospital readmissions of people with asthma or COPD but to have them properly controlled adherence to their treatments and just avoiding suffering exacerbations of their disease.
The urgency may not be the sole criterion for prioritizing waiting lists a greased. Maybe it is easier to apply and even easier to explain. Let us not confuse the simplicity is not always the best indication. I understand the statement that "anyone who might be expected to wait" in the positive sense: to be prioritized and that when there is price, with you need to optimize limited resources, the waiting list is not a test failure but a management tool to achieve the maximum years of life with the budget we have, apart from lower when compared to that of the last year.
A model for managing waiting lists based on the urgency is not only inappropriate as it may take many years, but may end up resulting that even the future costs of the health system for the worsening of the patients who remain on the waiting list until the deterioration of his health is quite clear as to qualify them for pressing.
the end of the year past, AIAQS, and quality evaluation agency of the Government in health, spread an interesting report on criteria for prioritization of thirty with elective surgery waiting lists. The two most important criteria are the impact on quality of life and the risk of waiting, in that order, then the effectiveness of intervention and resource consumption during the wait. Prioritization tools are there, now what is needed is a decision based more on knowledge and less incrementalista captured by the discourse.
1970s School Singapore
article published in NOW, 21 April 2011
We must recognize the difficulty and merit politician who has managed to lower public expenditure compared with the periods of prosperity and good times. The challenge today is managing the budget of Health of the Catalan government, no doubt, has not had any minister since in 1981 he received the transfer of services. Must do more with less, leaving the false rhetoric that thinks more like hiding in the drawer and pass bills next year and passing them to take action based on clinical criteria and health outcomes. There are duties
efficiency improvement and rationalization of public health that have not done it when the economic boom would have been simpler. The responsibility is all far beyond those who have ruled. This includes all income recipients of health (from suppliers to hospitals with medical supplies and prostheses, to pharmacies, rehabilitation centers and ambulances), all without forgetting the last day on which patients act as if Health care was free.
In separate Catalan public health and to explain very well to doctors, nurses, pharmacists, patients and payers that are measures of shock almost forced to come alive id'exercici ends meet financially and what measures should be structural. The excuse of urgent measures shock does not justify the lack of effort and imagination that represent responses that only unionized civil servants and almost closing beds and operating rooms know that or not (still?) Having operations in afternoon public hospitals.
would be more useful to hear what measures are taken center to center and hospital to hospital to make spending cuts a fit patients' health looks the least possible commitment. Rationalization measures are still missing, instead of closing services and operating rooms because they talk about reducing avoidable hospital admissions and readmissions of older people with chronic poorly controlled and increase their years? or the use of drugs beyond the indications of abuse or misuse of drugs and complications that costs and even lives?
need to short-term financial pressure not already postponed the adoption of more structural changes. Do not expect more reports of experts who serve as an excuse and stored in the drawer. We do not have enough already on the table of policy makers? What is needed is political decision and the more successful based on the knowledge available, the better. Measures of management services, waiting lists, management prescriptions and so on. are available to managers autonomous. Those are national, not be avoided, you need to do is put them in the Interregional Council table. There
sufficient knowledge and experience both internationally and in our own country for not postponing action prioritization and selective funding of benefits, both those already pay today as the day they enter in our health without making much noise but with a high cost. The benefits to be paid by the public health system must be chosen in any way you can pay all free and this would continue throwing money and lost years of life.
financing of benefits has give priority to those who have demonstrated their ability to objectively improve health in relation to its cost, according to the cost-effectiveness. Who says this is theory, just tell him to mind, with respect, but firmly, that it can not be so ignorant, unless you want to promote interests that should be explained. If imagination fails
policy, health services research offers an extensive instrumental measurements where possible and appropriate choice in times of recession like this. Recently, a group of renowned researchers in health services and health economics have identified one hundred in the journal Gaceta Sanitaria.
For if there is serious willingness to make decisions, including the first six steps of the list are the following: to control corruption and political leadership; terciarisme reorganize according to volume, results and costs; rethink prevention activities that do not add value, prioritize in emergencies, explorations, tours, speeches, waiting lists ...; involve patients in self-care, define the service portfolio based on evidence.
