Presentation Slides.prepared for: Portland State University & Office for Oregon Health Policy & Research ; by Carol Foley, Ph.D.Title from PDF cover (viewed on April 16, 2020)."During a period from late September to mid-October of 2010, a series of research forums were conducted to get feedback from those impacted by a value-based benefits design; the benefit design is intended for employers and individual purchasers in an Oregon health exchange. Insurers, agents/brokers, hospitals, providers, employers, consumers, and consumer advocates participated in the forums"--Page 2.This archived document is maintained by the State Library of Oregon as part of the Oregon Documents Depository Program.

Indigenous Narratives of Health: (Re)Placing Folk-Medicine within Irish Health Histories
No full text# The Author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract With the increased acceptance of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) within society, new research reflects deeper folk health histories beyond formal medical spaces. The contested relationships between formal and informal medicine have deep prove-nance and as scientific medicine began to professionalise in the 19th century, lay health knowledges were simultaneously absorbed and disempowered (Porter 1997). In particular, the ‘medical gaze ’ and the responses of informal medicine to this gaze were framed around themes of power, regulation, authenticity and narrative reputation. These responses were emplaced and mobile; enacted within multiple settings by multiple agents and structures over time. The work is drawn from secondary material from Ireland, which identify more indige-nous narratives of health and act as potential sources for medical humanities. While assump-tions have been made as to the place of folk-medicine being essentially rural, evidence will be presented which shows a more complex network of health beliefs and practices. The narratives of informal practice and folk-medicine drawn from evidence from Ireland point to more fluid and hybrid relations with formal medicine and suggest that the complementary nature of the two models reflected wider cultural debates and models of belief (Del Casino Jnr., Health &

Implementation of the I.S. EN 16001:2009 energy management standard into GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Ltd, Cork
No full textAs manufacturers face an increasingly competitive environment, they seek out opportunities to
reduce production costs without negatively affecting the yield or the quality of their finished
products. The challenge of maintaining high product quality while simultaneously reducing
production costs can often be met through investments in energy efficient technologies and energy
efficiency practices. Energy management systems can offer both technological and best practice
efficiencies in order to achieve substantial savings.
A strong energy management system provides a solid foundation for an organisation to reduce
production costs and improve site efficiency. The I.S EN16001 energy management standard
specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an energy
management system and represents the latest best practice for energy management in Ireland. The
objective of the energy management system is to establish a systematic approach for improving
energy performance continuously. The I.S EN16001 standard specifies the requirements for
continuous improvement through using energy more efficiently.
The author analysed how GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK) pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Cork
implemented the I.S. EN16001 energy management system model, and defined how energy saving
opportunities where identified and introduced to improve efficiency performance. The author
performed an extensive literature research in order to determine the current status of the
pharmaceutical industry in Ireland, the processes involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing, the
energy users required for pharmaceutical manufacturing and the efficiency measures that can be
applied to these energy users in order to reduce energy consumption. The author then analysed how
energy management standards are introduced to industry and critically analysed the driving factors
for energy management performance in Ireland through case studies.
Following an investigation as to how the I.S. EN16001 energy management standard is operated in
GSK, a critical analysis of the performance achieved by the GSK energy management system is
undertaken in order to determine if implementing the I.S EN16001 standard accelerates achieving
energy savings.
Since its introduction, the I.S. EN16001 model for energy management has enabled GSK to
monitor, target and identify energy efficiency opportunities throughout the site. The model has put
in place an energy management system that is continuously reviewed for improvement and to date
has reduced GSK’s site operations cost by over 30% through technical improvements and generating
energy awareness for smarter energy consumption within the GSK Cork site. Investment in I.S.
EN16001 has proved to be a sound business strategy for GSK especially in today's manufacturing

Use of Foley catheter in control of internal carotid hemorrhage during endoscopic endonasal surgery
No full textInternal carotid artery (ICA) injuries during endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) are rare life-threatening events. We describe a technique to manage ICA injuries based on the use of Foley catheters.A 26-year-old female underwent endoscopic transnasal trans-sphenoidal removal of pituitary adenoma. Cerebrospinal fluid leak occurred 4 days postoperatively. During repair procedure, accidental injury of ICA occurred. Emergency nasal packing through positioning of four Foley urologic catheters was successfully performed to stop bleeding. The patient did not report neurologic deficits.In author’s opinion, Foley catheters are suitable to obtain immediate bleeding control since they are rapidly available and easily usable
