...articles “The Bela Schick lecture: the US health care system: diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis” by Ein D and “Shattuck Lecture: health care in the 21st century” by Frist WH; one would be able to witness two opinions regarding the policy of IT in the health care system of The United States. The article written by Ein D states the opinion of a physician, in a private practice, who believes in the market system and is not sure of how the government should intervene in the marketplace. Ein D believes that The United States should invest in forming electronic medical records (EMRs) to help the situation of the health care system. Ein D states that less than 5% of physicians use electronic records as part of patient care due to the high costs of transitioning to electronic records and then maintaining them. Ein D feels that physicians must realize that the electronic medical record system is affordable and can increase their productivity. Electronic records can help connect the many hospitals, private practices, and clinics around the nation into one system, where a patient will be able to have their records pulled up from any location. In the article, by Frist WH, states that it is important for electronic health records to contain necessary health information, medical histories, and billing information.

How to Say Nothing in 500 Words Paul Roberts Paul Roberts (1917-1967) was a linguist, a teacher, and a writer at San Jose State College from 1946 to 1960 and at Cornell University from 1962 to 1964. His books on writing, including English Syntax (1954) and Patterns of English (1956), have helped generations of high school and college students become better writers. "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words" is taken from his best-known book, Understanding English (1958). Although written almost fifty years ago, the essay is still relevant for student writers today. Good writing, Roberts tells us, is not simply a matter of filling up a page; rather, the words have to hold the reader's interest, and they must say something. In this essay, Roberts uses lively prose and a step-by-step process to guide the student from the blank page to the finished essay...

...equal employment opportunity is. Provide an example of an EEO policy? Equal employment opportunity EEO is recognized as an employment practice in which employers never engage within employment activities that are prohibited by law. It is considered illegal activities if employers discriminate against an applicant or employee by reason of race, color, age, sex, caste, religion, national origin or physically challenged. EEO legislation copes with three key areas of practical concern such as discrimination, harassment and affirmative action Example: ‘Harassment’ is recognized as a form of discrimination. Harassment contains unwelcome, humiliating, unsolicited, disgusting, abusive, criticism or threatening behavior intended for an individual or group of people due to some real or apparent characteristic like a person’s ethnicity, sexuality, religions or disability within situations that a person harassed would be offended, mortified or demoralized. Any person like employee or employer found engaging in discriminatory demeanor or harassment would be subject to disciplinary action such as termination. 3.

...LECTURE ST. THOMAS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW FALL 2012 DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER SERIES WHAT MUST WE HIDE: THE ETHICS OF PRIVACY AND THE ETHOS OF DISCLOSURE ANITA L. ALLEN' I. INTRODUCTION We live in an era of persotial revelation. We are preoccupied by seeking, gathering, and disclosing information about others and ourselves. In the age of revelation, individuals and enterprises are fond of ferreting out what is btiried away. We are fond of broadcasting what we know, think, do, and feel; and we are motivated by business and pleasure because we care about friendship, kinship, health, wealth, education, politics, justice, and culture. A lot of this has to do with technology, of course. We live at a historical moment characterized by the wide availability of multiple modes of communication and stored data, easily and frequently accessed. Our communications are capable of disclosing breadths and depths of personal, personally identifiable, and sensitive information to many people rapidly. In this era of revelation—dominated by portable electronics, intemet social media, reality television, and traditional talk radio—^many of us are losing our sense of privacy, our taste for privacy, and our willingness to respect privacy. Is this set of losses a bad thing? If it is a bad thing, what can be done about it? My refiections on these questions begin with a series of diverse examples from the past several years. The examples illustrate the emergent ethos of our revelatory era. The first...

Key words: luxury brand, brand management, Louis Vuitton. 1. Introduction Consumers like brand items, while researchers like brand theory.

The credit crunch starting in September 2008 has grown into a global one primarily affecting car manufacturing and then it has its percussions in the whole economy-gradually reaching all the players. The crisis management in human resources implies layoffs, redundancies or shorter working hours and weeks. In many cases there were not wellthought corporate strategies for crisis management as managers as well as employees had to face a problem they had never experienced before. One of the corporate operative steps is to examine and realise how deeply the organisation itself is affected in the crisis. Our objective is to present what theoretical and practical solutions were or are invented besides the ones already mentioned. Keywords: crisis management, human resources management, atypical employment 1. About the crisis in general About a year ago the credit crunch became widespread primarily hitting the financial institutions worldwide and had its impacts felt in the motor industry reaching all players of the economic life. There were no companies...
