Abstract

This article contrasts the application of preventive and predictive technologies in industry to those in healthcare. For years, risk managers have been discussing the rationing of care. This article presents the perspective of an engineering professional from the manufacturing industry who now consults with healthcare risk managers. The human being is often referred to as an “asset” in our society. Do we actually treat people as assets or liabilities? When preventive maintenance is routinely performed on a piece of equipment, the benefits are more reliable operations, increased productivity, and lower life cycle costs. If these proactive concepts are applied to the human body within our current healthcare systems, will we see these same benefits?

Accepted dental remedies (1939). Secreta

Accepted dental remedies (1939). Secretary Harold L. Hansen, Council on Dental Therapeutics, states that this edition is similar to those which have geen prepared in the past under the direction of Dr. Sammuel M. Gordon, 1930–1938. (For the 1938 report see page 1284, Journal A. Ph. A.) the number of articles listed and described in this volume is considerably larger than in previous editions. Acceptance of a remedy is not an endorsement; the duration varies as to time and may be reconsidered; dentifrices are listed for one year; the rules have been adopted primarily with the object of protecting the dental profession and the public against fraud or imposition, undesirable secrecy and objectionable advertising

The Relations of the Proprietor to the R

The Relations of the Proprietor to the Retail Druggist and Price Maintenance**Abstracted from the “Report of the Committee on Relations with the Retail Drug Trade.” presented at the last annual meeting of the Proprietary Association of America. The paper IS reprinted as a contribution to the subjects of price maintenance on proprietary medcines and the cooperative manufacturing and buying movement. The report is not only well written and readable, but presents a fair-minded statement of the retailer’s reasons for being dissatisfied with his present profits on proprietary goods, and shows that the pro rietors are awakening to the necessity of cooperating with him in densing or finding an elective legal method for giving the relief asked for.
