Abstract
This paper examines the medical college of Georgia Hospital and Clinics' helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS). This was utilized until the cost of operations and the demands on the service proved too high. The paper discusses the benefits of the HEMS. The study suggests that organizational and financial mismanagement of the initial HEMS resulted in its failure. Suggested reform strategies are analysed.
From the Paper
"The Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics maintained a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) until the cost of operations and the demands on the service proved unfair for certain facilities. The benefits of the HEMS were significant. However, HEMS helped promote increased survival rates through identifying the needs of the patient and through transporting the patients and the current case study attempts to promote a feasible alternative to a specialist tertiary clinic. The current case study suggests that organizational and financial mismanagement of the initial HEMS resulted in failure, and that an appropriate reform strategy is accomplished through promoting an increased focus on organizational and financial management, as well as options designed to improve the services offered by the HEMS while also reducing the operational costs found therein. Suggested reform strategies include separating the HEMS.."

"The daycare industry is growing. The childcare services industry is one of the most rapidly growing markets, expanding in part due to accommodate the increasingly high demand for quality services. In 1999 the market for childcare services topped out at more than $3.5 billion. The market is expected to surpass $60 billion in revenues in the upcoming years, in part due to the fact that both parents typically are now working in the labor force. ?Child care expenses by households rose 15.7% between 1986 and 1999 alone?. ?Formal daycare service providers in 1999 earned revenues of approximately $1.8 billion, with expenses toping out at approximately $1.7 billion, leaving more than $96 million in profits for daycare providers?.

From the Paper
Today's economic difficulties in the health care industry are producing an ever-increasing number of reasons for nurses to seek other areas in which to market their skills or to develop entrepreneurial ventures in which they can invest their experience. Most experts on career change recommend that prospective job-changers in already overcrowded fields search in areas where their skills and experience relate to the work of the company in ways that may be unexpected (Costa, 1994; Neidlinger, Bartleson, Drews & Hukari, 1992). Barring the availability of fields directly related to the individual's experience Costa (1994) also suggests that job seekers investigate fields where pressures for better cost management and fallout from systemic changes (as in the health care industry at large) make the job-seeker's expertise particularly valuable. In the health care..."

Abstract
This paper addresses possible ethical violations and how they can potentially affect medical emergency operations from the point of view of an Emergency Operations Director. Ethical topics discussed include the following: bias in treatment (or lack of treatment); confidentiality issues; criminal activity versus confidentiality; medical research within an emergency care setting; and refusal of care. Also considered are ethical dilemmas such as who gets treated first in cases of multiple injured parties. The author concludes that effective triage plans be in place to ensure that personnel know when to focus on some patients versus others.
From the Paper
"Bias in emergency medical treatment is possible for numerous reasons. Common biases include prejudice based on of race, social status, or lifestyle choices (Nordquist 2006). Known involvement in criminal activity, such as drug use, might also affect a patient's ability to secure quality care, as might availability to health insurance. Finally, a patient's family's wishes might come into account, specifically in emergency care involving resuscitation or elderly patients."

Abstract
This paper examines local, state and federal responsibility in maintaining emergency management services in preparation for natural disaster. A tornado is used as an example to demonstrate the varying levels of responsibility involved. An analysis of New York City's level of readiness is presented.
From the Paper
"Emergency management departments throughout the nation train year round in preparation for natural disasters. The more prepared the emergency management operation is in any town the more prepared, protected and secure the town residents feel. Emergency management holds responsibilities at several government levels in any disaster. The local, state and federal emergency management teams work together to coordinate the most effective and thorough plan possible in the event a natural disaster occurs.
HYPOTEHTICAL TOWN SITUATION
In the event of a tornado in Pleasant Town USA the emergency management office has several avenues it must travel to ensure all of its responsibilities are met. The federal, state and local teams all have connections and interactions with each other when a natural disaster occurs. The extent of the involvement of the state and federal offices is directly dependent on the amount of damage being done by the natural disaster. If a tornado hit Pleasant Town USA several things would occur at each level.?"

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history of emergency law in Egypt and how it has been used by almost every government in the last 60 years to deny the Egyptian people the right to freedom of speech and the right to form opposing political parties. The paper asserts that Egypt, in order to become a true democracy, as it claims it is, must eliminate emergency law so that the people of Egypt can truly practice the rights a democratic society is supposed to guarantee.
From the Paper
"Egypt may appear a calm country, not threatened by revolution, political instability or a rebellious population. However, the Egyptian government thinks otherwise. It apparently views the Egyptian people as rebellious, revolutionary and if given their right to freedom of expression, would drive the country to political instability. Therefore, a state of emergency exists in Egypt. Actually, as "Reading the Hieroglyphic" remarks "for all but eight of the past 61 years" Egypt has been under emergency law. Government after government and one political system after another has prevented Egyptians from the right to freedom of speech. Despite this, Egypt is said to be a democratic country. However, the fundamental elements of democracy is freedom of speech or expression and also allowing formation of opposing political parties. The 'democratic' Egyptian government is threatened by these elements as opposition may weaken its status and power. This law prevents freedom of speech and establishment of opposing parties, therefore, the government is using this law as a tool to grant it the upper hand and no one will even verbally criticize its actions. Although the government claims that the emergency law is a security measure for the benefit of the people, with reference to its history and the way it is being used proves that the purpose of this law is to maximize the power of the government to the extent that it can oppress the people and prevent any opposition; and consequently inhibit democracy. The emergency law is stifling democracy and development in Egypt."

Documentation in Medical Practices, 2006.
This paper discusses the importance of documentation in emergency medical services.
2,248 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains how documentation is important when an emergency medical technician renders aid to a patient when he/she is ill, critically injured or hurt. Documentation would enable the hospital to keep a track of what type of treatment has been given to the patient, and how he/she responded to the treatment given. The paper illustrates how organizations have made lists of rules and regulations to help those people responsible for documentation while taking care of their patient. This ensures that they would be able to perform their duty efficiently, as well as provide the important documentation needed for the administration of the hospital.

Introduction
Conclusion
From the Paper
"An Emergency Medical Technician, who has been able to successfully establish an EMT-patient relationship by the mere fact that he was the individual who had begun emergency care for the patient that he is taking care of at the present time, has a responsibility and a duty to make sure that he take care of that patient until such time that help arrives in the form of a specialist or some other person who can relieve the emergency medical technician. It must be noted that this relief generally comes when the patient reaches the hospital, and the report made by the EMT is submitted to the attending staff. At times, when it so happens that the patient is not actually transported by the first arriving EMT but by another provider, then it is the duty of the first EMT to give a full report on the patient to the second arriving EMT, who would be taking over the care of the patient from that point of time onwards."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Finally, because Bellevue has repeatedly demonstrated the willingness to listen to the concerns of nurses and institute policies that support their beliefs, the institution functions in a manner that values its staff. When workers in an organization understand that they are valued, workers desire to support the goals of the organization, creating a working system that is successful over the long term. At Bellevue Medical Center the system not only supports the individual, it supports all community groups and focuses on populations that would otherwise be incapable of receiving health care. For nurses that desire to make a significant difference in the lives of people, this incentive alone demonstrates a positive draw to the nursing professional that supports the reasons that many nurses entered the field in the first place."

From the Paper
"Emergencies can occur suddenly in life or they can build to a climactic moment in which a person suddenly faces a desperate situation that must be resolved. At the young age of 28 I did not believe that I would be faced with a life-threatening situation. This was because in my mind serious health issues were only faced by the elderly and besides which, I thought, I had too many other things to do than be concerned with something as trivial as my health."
"At 28 I had a job, was consistently called upon to assist my family with various tasks and had an active social life. I rarely slept, ate whatever and whenever I could and coffee was my normal liquid nourishment. It was during that year, however, that I began to experience abdominal pain that was extremely severe; yet, only occasionally."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that advances in computer technology and the development of the Internet have enabled the healthcare community to maintain medical records electronically, which has been beneficial for patients and healthcare providers alike. The writer points out that there is also a downside to this system of electronic record keeping, for it also renders the private medical records of patients vulnerable to unauthorized access. The writer notes that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with such risks. The writer discusses that the emergence of electronic medical records systems presents security challenges, for such records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper records kept in a doctor's office, a nursing station, or a clinic. The writer maintains that protecting the privacy of patients is essential, not only because of the vital importance of ethical medical treatment, but because of emerging confidentiality issues related to electronic medical records.

From the Paper
"The literature review clarifies that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with the risks to confidentiality imposed by electronic medical record keeping. It is evident that the development and expansion of electronic medical records systems presents a wide range of security, ethics, and medical research interest challenges.
"The fundamental issue underlying all other issues is the fact that electronic medical records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper medical records were. Protecting the privacy of patients has always been essential because of the vital importance of providing ethical and confidential medical treatment, but it has also been essential to conduct medical research, which requires access to healthcare data on a general and individual patient basis. Consequently, everyone involved in this debate and affected by it must understand the implications of restricting electronic access to medical records."
