Abstract

The four core skills--active listening, soliciting attribution, providing support, and establishing agreement--are at the heart of the model of co-participation between physician and patient. Used effectively, they provide a mutually satisfying environment in which psychosocial as well as biologic aspects of a problem can be explored in a humane, caring, and surprisingly efficient way.

Conditional reimbursement within the Dutch drug policy.

In The Netherlands, conditional reimbursement is considered to be a promising approach to achieving more effective and efficient pharmaceutical care. Because of its formal status and nationwide regulation, conditional reimbursement may allow governments to better control medical decision-making. To evaluate the effects of conditional reimbursement on medicine use and its performance as a policy tool, we compared observed volumes of medicine use with expected volumes. In addition, we mapped the annual growth by analysing trends in the volumes of use of all conditionally reimbursed drugs; starting with the year the drug entered the market (using macro-level data). Next we explored five cases in depth (using micro-level data) in order to explore what fraction of individual prescriptions met the requirements. We also performed qualitative research (document analysis, interviews (N=65)) in order to obtain the stakeholders' perspectives on how the measure functions, as well as to interpret the case studies data further. The findings suggest that conditional reimbursement may be an effective policy instrument, but that several changes are needed to optimize its impact. These changes are predominantly related to transparency (e.g. conditions are set following clear procedures and criteria), legitimacy (conditions should be consistent with criteria for prioritization), feasibility of procedures to control appropriate use, and timely and appropriate commitment of the stakeholders.

The effect of defined violations of test security on admissions outcomes using multiple mini-interviews.

INTRODUCTION: Heterogeneous results exist regarding the impact of security violations on student performances in objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs). Three separate studies investigate whether anticipated security violations result in undesirable enhancement of MMI performance ratings. METHODS: Study 1: low-stakes: MMI station stems provided to a random half of 57 medical school applicants 2 weeks in advance of participation in a research study. Study 2: high-stakes: 384 medical school applicants sat a 12-station MMI to determine admission. Each half received 1 of 2 pilot MMI station stems 2 weeks in advance. Study 3: high-stakes: 38 interviewees with dual applications to occupational therapy and physiotherapy experienced the same 7-station MMI twice on the same date. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences in MMI performances were detected. CONCLUSIONS: Predictable violations of MMI security do not unduly influence applicant performance ratings.
