This book examines high-expenditure Medicaid-only beneficiaries, considering states'' spending on them compared with all other Medicaid beneficiaries; their key characteristics; and their service usage compared with all other Medicaid-only beneficiaries. This book also provides an overview of Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH). It includes a description of the rules delineating how state DSH allotments are calculated and the exceptions to the rules, how DSH hospitals are defined, and how DSH payments are calculated.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887134650711,"sku":"9781633211186","price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781633211186.jpg?v=1722543165"},{"product_id":"consent-issues-and-complications-in-obstetrics-and-gynaecology-9781848290464","title":"Consent Issues and Complications in Obstetrics","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anshan Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888104091991,"sku":"9781848290464","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781848290464.jpg?v=1722547764"},{"product_id":"operating-within-the-law-a-practical-guide-for-surgeons-and-lawyers-9781903378052","title":"Operating within the law: A practical guide for","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe primary aim of this book is to provide clear and concise explanations about all aspects of the medico-legal process for surgeons, other doctors and lawyers.

This clinical suicide prevention handbook is an essential resource for mental health and primary care professionals, and any practitioner aiming to ensure their practice is up-to-date, patient-centred and consistent with the most current standards of care. Starting with a summary of the science and public health model of suicide, the book offers quick tips for suicide screening, risk assessment, interventions, and follow-up communication. It discusses medicolegal risk management, how health systems can prevent suicide and provides highly specialized guidance for clinicians following the loss of a patient to suicide.

It is comprehensive in its scope, beautifully written and up-to-date and will remain on my work desk for use as an authoritative reference guide as challenging situations arise. Most chapters provide key points up front, summarize pertinent data, illustrate text with beautiful figures and case examples and close with clinical pearls and pertinent references. I recommend this handbook for all graduate level trainees and mental health clinicians who treat patients with serious mental illness.

Suicide Prevention by Moutier, Pisani, and Stahl is an excellent foundation for that effort because not only is the book thorough and authoritative, but accessible to all. Its creative use of graphics, clinical vignettes, and well referenced text are the tools of great teachers. And we have much to learn!'

The author provides an overview of the recent history of public health in China, and describes the pseudonymous city of Tianmai. The author then suggests that due to key differences between professional responsibility as it is defined in the clinical and public health settings - particularly with regards to the aggregate nature of the public health \"client\" – a bifurcation of service and governance arose in Tianmai between a \"common\" being served and local populations being governed. The chapter lays out five \"commons\" that will be examined in the rest of the book: a civilized immigrant common, a professional common, a transnational scientific common, a global health common, and a global common. It also suggests that the Tianmai case can offer novel insights into the study of global health.\u003c\/p\u003e 2City of Immigrants chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter takes a closer look at the immigrant city of Tianmai, and considers how the modern, cosmopolitan urban paradise that Tianmai's elites were trying to build included some and excluded others. In particular, the chapter examines the relationship – or lack thereof – between Tianmai's public health professionals and the city's enormous \"floating population\" of rural-to-urban migrants. The author shows how her interlocutors – former migrants themselves – refused to engage with migrant individuals, and actively maintained personal, moral, and professional boundaries between themselves and the floating population. This effectively divulged public health professionals of responsibility for the majority of the people who lived in their city and established them as \"biological non-citizens\" who had to be governed but could not be served. In doing this public health professionals worked to serve a civilized immigrant common of modern urban subjects that did not include the floating population.\u003c\/p\u003e 3Relationships, Trust, and Truths chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter illustrates how the power to implement any given public health initiative in China was located within the webs of guanxi, or personal relationships, that public health professionals spun anew at the beginning of each project. Drawing on rich ethnographic description, the chapter takes the reader into the banqueting and other entertainment rituals that public health professionals engaged in almost daily in order to create and maintain these networks of reciprocal obligation and personalistic trust. The author then examines how a group of young, highly educated post-SARS reformers attempted to rid the public health system of guanxi, which they regarded as anti-scientific and akin to corruption. These reformers hoped to build a more transparent and reliable system of disease reporting and governance by establishing a professional common grounded in professionalized trust.\u003c\/p\u003e 4Scientific Imaginaries chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter critically examines public health research and science in Tianmai. The author explores the efforts of Chinese public health professionals to advance their careers through scientific research, and discusses how in the wake of SARS, Chinese public health institutions dramatically increased their investments in scientific research – rendering publishable research a major focus of local public health work. Newly hired young people labored to produce the \"quality\" and \"true\" data that they associated with good science. They hoped that doing so would give them a chance to \"develop themselves\" as members of transnational scientific common, and to escape a local moral world that they felt was dominated by mimicry, deception, and instability. The chapter suggests that their approach to research provides a mirror through which public health researchers in other contexts could critically examine their own ethical practices, raising new questions about global research ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e 5Pandemic Betrayals chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter provides an ethnographically rich eyewitness account of Tianmai's response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, describing how public health professionals in Tianmai drew upon the lessons of SARS to mount what they thought would be an internationally lauded response to H1N1. In attempting to prove their pandemic preparedness capabilities and ensure a place among the global scientific elite, however, Tianmai's public health professionals instead found that their full admittance into a global health common and a global common remained elusive. The chapter discusses the professionals' difficulties in escaping their perceived status as a source, rather than a victim, of dangerous viruses; their use of disease control tactics that were portrayed abroad as excessive and unsophisticated; and their disappointment with the failure of their leaders and guanxi partners to act in the professional fashion that they had been trying to promote since SARS.\u003c\/p\u003e 6Conclusion chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe concluding chapter returns to the broader question of what professional responsibility can or should mean in public health and beyond, and asks how public health professionals in China could work to reconcile the \"common\" with the \"population,\" and population needs with individual needs. The author uses the case of HIV\/AIDS to examine the ways in which some public health professionals in Tianmai were experimenting with alternative interpretations of public health that broadened the boundaries of the common to allow in otherwise maligned groups, including rural migrants, gay men, and sex workers.

Galvez casts the large New York City public hospital prenatal clinic at which she did her interviews as a site of 'subjectification'—the molding of Mexican immigrant women and their families into racialized, needy, passive subjects of medicalization, state intervention, and monitoring. In large part, the women submit because of their own narratives of bettering themselves by their move to the US. This brief description cannot do justice to the richness of Galvez's analysis and the complexity of the women's negotiations with the US health care system.
