Training Mentor–Mentee Pairs to Build a Robust Culture for Mentorship and a Pipeline of Clinical and Translational Researchers
The Colorado Mentoring Training program (CO-Mentor) was developed at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in 2010, supported by the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute. CO-Mentor represents a different paradigm in mentorship training by focusing equally on the development of mentees, who are valued as essential to institutional capacity for effective mentorship. The training model is unique among Clinical and Tran…
A Framework for Describing Health Care Delivery Organizations and Systems
Describing, evaluating, and conducting research on the questions raised by comparative effectiveness research and characterizing care delivery organizations of all kinds, from independent individual provider units to large integrated health systems, has become imperative. Recognizing this challenge, the Delivery Systems Committee, a subgroup of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Effective Health Care Stakeholders Group, which repres…
Medicaid Prior Authorization and Controlled-Release Oxycodone
BACKGROUND: Since its introduction in 1996, controlled-release (CR) oxycodone use has increased steadily despite its high cost. To control use and expenditures, many Medicaid programs have implemented CR oxycodone prior authorization (PA) policies. Few studies evaluate Medicaid policies or compare lenient and strict policies in multiple states. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the impact of PA on CR oxycodone use by Medicaid beneficiaries. DESIGN: Secondar…
Trends and Geographic Variation of Opiate Medication Use in State Medicaid Fee-For-Service Programs, 1996 to 2002
BACKGROUND: Although studies have documented hospital and surgical service geographic variability, prescription use geographic variability is largely unknown. Opiate pain medications are widely used, particularly because the promulgation of clinical guidelines promoting aggressive pain treatment. This study describes temporal and interstate variability in aggregate prescription opiate medication use within U.S. Medicaid programs. METHODS: A datas…
Taylorism and Unionism
Jenkins has observed that “The impression has begun to get about that the Industrial Revolution is not going to work out after all.” In light of the profound malaise of blue and white collar workers, the decline of output per worker since 1973, and increasing signs of a pervasive anti-union sentiment complementing anti-management restiveness, Jenkins' remark does not seem so shocking. The 1973 Health, Education and Welfare report, Work In America…
Anti-Work and the Struggle for Control
The debacle of the air controllers' strike and the growing difficulties unions are having in attracting new members (and holding onto old ones — decertification elections have increased for the last 10 years) are two phenomena that could be used to depict American workers as quite tamed overall and adjusted to their lot. But such a picture of conservative stasis would be quite unfaithful to the reality of the work culture, which is now so un-tame…
Origins and Meaning of World War I
World War I, in Jan Patocka's words, “That tremendous and, in a sense, cosmic event,” was a watershed in the history of the West and the major influence on our century. Regarding its causes, nearly all the discussion has concerned the degree of responsibility of the various governments, in terms of the alliance system (ultimately, the Triple Entente of England, France and Russia and the Triple Alliance of Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Italy) whic…
Unionization in America
Throughout the Left there is a wrong impression of the labor struggles of the Depression, which obscures our understanding of the nature and origin of the increasingly anti-union ‘revolt against work’ of today. Trade unions in the 1920's were generally in a weak and worsening position. While union membership constituted 19.4% of non-agricultural workers in 1920, only 10.2% were organized by 1930. The employee representation plans, or company unio…
Unionism and the Labor Front
In “Organized Labor versus ‘The Revolt Against Work’ ” (Telos, 21), I described spontaneous opposition to an increasingly bureaucratic and collusive unionism. Greater centralization of control over workers and more institutionalized business-labor-government cooperation have made transparent unions' role as the last effective police force of wage labor. In passing, I suggested a developing similarity in some ways to the situation in National Soci…
