The effects of a multidisciplinary case management method on the costs of a workers' compensation plan
Get PDFPlan BThis research paper had a defined purpose of investigation of the internal policies and procedures that were used to administer and manage the day-to-day functioning of the workers’ compensation program at MidWest Regional Hospital. The goal of this study was a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the workers’ compensation internal policies and procedures program at MRH using an author-designed list of best practices. As a starting place, a literature review focused on an internal multidisciplinary case management model. Analysis of approximately 100 journal articles, books and original research data from North America and Europe indicated, when properly implemented, that this type of management program may significantly reduce the overall costs of an organization’s workers’ compensation program. Other specific cost reduction factors were reviewed for compatibility with the multidisciplinary case management model. Information from the literature review suggests there are several functions such as illness and injury trend analysis and hazard abatement, that utilized many of the same resources as an established multidisciplinary case management model and could be efficiently combined to further reduce incidence of accidents and illnesses. It seems likely that lowering the illness and injury incidence would reduce the workers’ compensation program costs. An author-designed checklist of best practices was compiled with data from organizations that have shown a noted reduction in workers’ compensation costs. The elements were selected based on the specific change in practices within the organization that resulted in significant cost reduction. These elements were then complied into a “Best Practices” checklist. The elements of that checklist were compared to the current written policies and procedures directing the staff of the workers’ compensation program at MidWest Regional Hospital. The elements listed will be noted as either having a written, current policy and practice or not having a written policy or practice. There is also a comments section after each element for clarification and remarks by the researcher. The researcher found MidWest Regional Hospital had a favorable foundation for a comprehensive workers’ compensation program. Six of 15 elements from the best practices chart had written policies for direction. Three other elements did not have written policies, but the elemental functions were being performed. Of the remaining six elements on the chart, only one was contradictory to the best practices chart. Considering the percentage of the best practices chart element functions that were addressed with written policies and procedures and functions that are being performed without written policies and procedures at MRH, the workers’ compensation program needs to be reviewed and revised, not completely restructured

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
