"TITLE XVIII, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH REVITALIZATION ACT OF 1993: A POLICY ANALYSIS
Introduction
This research develops a policy analysis of Title XVIII of the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, hereinafter referred to as the Act. The National Institutes of Health is a confederacy of 24 organizational units, or agencies, that ?seek to expand fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to apply that knowledge to improve the health of human beings? (Varmus, 1996, p. 1). The elements of this analysis are issues addressed, regulatory implementation, how the legislation will be evaluated, and factors related to agency creation and responsible agency.

Abstract
This research examines the National Institutes of Health and the connection that this health-related government entity has with the profession of physician's assistant. The research sets forth the context in which the NIH may be useful to the physician's assistant profession in general, and in particular, to the day-to-day performance of assistant duties on behalf of physicians, patients, or both.
From the Paper
"The best way of getting at the way the NIH can be of use to physicians' assistants is to understand how the NIH, which a health agency under the authority of the U.S. Public Health Service in the Department of Health and Human Services, is organized and the principal bureaucratic role it serves in the federal system. As the core document of the NIH explains, the mission of the agency "is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone" (http://www.nih.gov). What that comes down to is that the NIH is meant to function as an authoritative information resource, or, in more up-to-date parlance, as an authoritative data base, upon which practitioners, institutions, and recipients of medical care may draw, with a view toward accomplishing the physical and mental well-being of the body politic, individually and as a mass. The practical form that this mission has taken in recent years has been the emergence of Internet-based health-information resources sponsored and produced by the NIH, either directly, in documents, programs, and policies of its own, or indirectly, by functioning as a conduit to non-NIH resources of which NIH may be aware."

From the Paper
"Improving Productivity in a Health Care Environment
In an era of capitated payment plans and managed care, health care administrators in a number of settings ranging from hospitals and clinics to physicians' offices and nursing homes are being challenged by the necessity of simultaneously improving productivity, reducing costs, and enhancing the delivery of high quality services to patients and other stakeholders (Saphir, 1999). Efficiency is a key variable in the debate over how such care providers must respond to tighter controls on fee reimbursement and related issues. This brief report will examine how health care service institutions can employ specific types of motivational strategies to enhance productivity. First, however, some commentary on motivational theory is needed to identify how performance and productivity ..."

Mental Health and Physical Health, 2005.
Discusses the reasoning behind two beliefs - whether or not mental health should be treated on par with physical health.
930 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 33.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
There are two arguments regarding the treatment of mental health. Some believe that it should receive the same amount of health care coverage as physical illness, while others argue that the costs of treating mental illness could lead to severe problems. To better understand these arguments, this paper examines two articles, "Mental Health Should be Treated on Par with Physical Health," by Lewis L. Judd, and "Mental Health Should Not be treated on Par with Physical Health," by Richard E. Vatz, as well as two of their reference sources.
From the Paper
"Martin Bobgan and Deidre Bobgan, the writers of an article titled, "Mental Illness is not a Disease" would probably agree that spending money on mental illness, and treating it equally to physical illness would be a lost cause. Although their opinion is much more drastic than that of Richard Vatz, all three writers would probably seem to agree that covering mental illness in insurance coverage would not be helpful to society. In the article, Mental Illness is not a Disease," Martin and Deidre Bobgan profess that people "continue to promote the false concept of mental illness, to align it with medicine, and consign it to science." It is apparent that these writers believe that the mental state and one's physical well-being fall into completely different categories."

Health and Safety for Nurses in Home Health Care, 2008.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the situation of nurses in home health care, who regularly work in isolation without the benefit of peers or essential supports, unlike nurses in hospitals, which have the benefit of safety and security measures provided by the institution. The paper points out that home health care nurses are predominately female and are subject to high physical and psychosocial demands. Furthermore, many of these nurses work in isolated rural settings, making them more prone to physical assault, sexual assault and various forms of workplace violence, as well as personal injury related to heavy lifting. The paper argues that the most important point about health and safety issues is that they impact of the care the client receives. To conclude, the paper maintains that the goal for all home health care agencies must be to ensure the safety of both staff and patients, and this may be achieved through employee awareness and in agency commitment to the staff.
From the Paper
"Home health care is a rapidly expanding industry because of such factors as an aging population and decreased hospital stays. With that expansion have come increasing incidents of violence in the workplace. Surveys of nurse reveal that problems related to safety in the home care field have escalated. These problems range form verbal and physical abuse, along with threatening animals to visible weapons and illegal drugs (Sylvester & Reisener, 2002). In addition, nurses in home care very often work in areas where the crime rate is above the national average. All of these issues and concerns create a potential impact on patient care and patient outcomes (Fazzone & Barloon, 2000). When nurses are in continual fear over their safety, this situation is certain to affect the quality of care."

Abstract
Alice Beck Kehoe's The Ghost Dance: Ethnohistory and Revitalization is a complex ethnohistorical work with a dual purpose. This paper argues that this duality is central to the main argument of the author and situates the work within the broader crisis of representation and relevance that defines the field of cultural anthropology in the early 21st century.
From the Paper
"Alice Beck Kehoe's The Ghost Dance: Ethnohistory and Revitalization is a complex ethnohistorical work with a dual purpose. As this essay will argue, this duality is central to the main argument of the author and situates the work within the broader crisis of representation and relevance that defines the field of cultural anthropology in the early 21st century. As will be seen, while in the first half of her text Kehoe focuses on an analysis of the Ghost Dance phenomenon in terms of how American Indian societies have coped with radical social, economic and political change."

Abstract
This paper investigates the role of primary care nurse practitioners in respect to health care and health care reform. The failure of primary healthcare is critically assessed, in the respect that health care is currently "managed" by independent "for- profit" organizations, where there is an emphasis on financial success rather than patient welfare. This paper also places a strong emphasis on the role of nurse care practitioners in the state of Florida and in community health care clinics.

Abstract
The paper considers the importance of brand evolution and revitalization. The paper explains how brand revitalization extends the product life-cycle, making it a necessary step in keeping a product viable and giving new life to marketing for the product. The paper looks at the work of B. Merrilees who shows the nature of the process and many of the theoretical concepts applied to it.
From the Paper
"Merrilees (2005) considers the importance of brand evolution in the general area of retail branding and how such evolution needs to be monitored and/or shaped as a way of revitalizing the brand. A brand loses some of its appeal over time unless this process is undertaken, though Merrilees notes that specific principles as to how to revitalize a brand are generally lacking in the literature. Merrilees refers to the process as rebranding and calls this "a major aspect of marketing" and as "critical for growing the brand" (para. 3). Merrilees examines the issue in terms of two existing paradigms of brand evolution and uses Canadian Tire as an example."
