Allan Obs Shared Care
In 1995 an individual project grant was successfully applied for and funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care to trial GPs caring for low risk obstetric women in the community and ultimately delivering as public patients in the local Obstetric Unit.
A major evaluation and cost analysis was undertaken by the University of Adelaide Department of General Practice in 2000.
488 patients Traditional care $5,081 Shared care, current $4,607 Savings achieved $ 474 $231,312 Table 1 shows that obstetrics shared care is more cost effective than traditional care.
Figure 1 shows that obstetrics shared care has maintained its share of overall bookings at TQEH for 2.5 years.

Since 1998, CHANGE has been working together with colleagues in Peru to expand the reproductive health options available to women.
Our work has included conducting secondary research and analysis on the constraints women face in exercising reproductive choices, and advocating for changes in donor and government policy such that they address these constraints, including expanded access to emergency contraception (EC).
Reproductive health advocacy groups desperately need funds for development and execution of a cohesive strategic plan to promote and .
Key strategies would include ongoing efforts to increase media coverage, raise public awareness, and pressure government officials of the need for expanded access to EC, all of which will require additional resources for staff and for strengthening coordination between and among networks throughout the country.

Oakbrook Terrace, IL -- Three of the nation's leading professional organizations in the health care field are teaming up to develop a common set of evidence-based measures for evaluating the appropriateness and effectiveness of pain management for patients suffering from cancer, back pain and arthritis.
The two-year project, sponsored by the American Medical Association (AMA), the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), will help physicians, health plans, hospitals and other health care organizations determine how well they are doing in managing patients' pain.
The AMA, JCAHO and NCQA have worked together to coordinate performance measurement development activities since 1998 and earlier this year unveiled Coordinated Performance Measurement for the Management of Adult Diabetes -- a new approach to measuring performance in the delivery of care to diabetes patients.

The higher unemployment rates and fewer working hours observed for female than for male urban household heads in Guatemala are hypothesized to be in part due to coordination difficulties between hours and location of work and the lack of availability of childcare.
This study attempts to answer this question by analyzing work, childcare arrangements, and earnings of mothers in poor urban neighborhoods of Guatemala City.
Several sets of factors influence the demand for various types of childcare arrangements, including the need for mother substitutes for care, whether her work is in her home or at a remote location, and the number and ages of her preschool children.
Conditional on her choice to be in the labor force, a higher wage, greater household income, and work hours should each increase demand for all forms of nonparental childcare through positive income effects.

WSJ.com - Employers to Face Many Choices, Including Cutting Some Benefits

For the nation's employers, adding a prescription-drug benefit to Medicare would fulfill a longtime goal.
Many might be tempted to scale back their retiree drug benefits to the skimpier level likely to be offered by Medicare.
Most companies provide a far more comprehensive benefit than either plan would.
Advocates of the plans insist that the CBO figure is too high, because some companies are committed to maintaining retiree health-care coverage, and in any event, such cuts are already happening.
Corporate health-care costs for current and retired workers have grown an estimated 50% on average in just the past three years, according to Aon Consulting, a human-resources division of Aon Corp.

Consumers would be responsible for deducting appropriate taxes and calculating employer payroll taxes.
A payroll service is available to consumers who do not pass a competency test or who simply would like assistance.
Consumers are permitted to accumulate savings from their personal budget for special approved purchases, such as respite care or home modifications.
Those participants who decide to assume the cash payment responsibility are required to pass a test to demonstrate competency with respect to their fiscal and legal obligations as an employer.
