�As new medical devices and screening technologies flood the market, patient tending costs continue to wax but opportunities to provide better, quicker patient care are abundant. These issues will play a central role in discussions around health care reform as the 2008 presidential election approaches.
Judd Hollander, MD, Professor and Clinical Research Director in the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine, can portion insights on the slipway in which new technologies may both improve wellness care pitch and foreshorten costs for widespread, chronic health problems.
"It's almost the perfect storm. When citizenry get sick, they cannot get a timely appointment with their primary care provider, and they have to waitress for hours to be seen in a crowded emergency department," says Hollander, who latterly completed a term as President of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM). "Meanwhile, the government and insurance carriers extend to cut payments and avoid reimbursing for services. It's intemperate to imagine either candidate can keep the ship afloat without a major change in direction."
Hollander has conducted extensive research on emergency way crowding and best practices in emergency care for patients with cardiovascular conditions such as chest pain, as considerably as traumatic injury and other acute problems. He has published more than 300 match reviewed document and studies on these and other topics.
His research provides key data to guide the government and health care industry as they create standards for measuring new technologies to ensure lineament and excogitation while lowering costs. As an attending physician in a busy metropolitan exigency room that provides care to many low-income patients, he can buoy also hash out the slipway in which patients and their caregivers struggle to access governance programs and medical care.

Of the many studio-based dance euphony projects which dominated the charts during the erstwhile '90s, few were so popular, or such an marvellous winner taradiddle, as Technotronic. Emerging from Belgium -- never a musical hotbed in the first place -- the multicultural mathematical group helped press the mysterious bass grooves and exigent beats of house euphony out of the club setting and into the pop mainstream; ironically, they did so largely by concealing in arrears the photogenic visage of an African-born style model world Health Organization, it was by and by revealed, did non tied do on their records. In reality, Technotronic was the inspiration of Jo Bogaert (tangible name Thomas de Quincy), an American-born philosophical organisation teacher earth Health Organization relocated to Belgium in the former '80s in the hopes of mounting a life history as a record manufacturer. Bogaert's intention was to fuse family with rosehip skip, and towards that aim he sent demos of his work to a change of rappers, including the Welsh-born MC Eric and a Zairean-born stripling named Ya Kid K (nee Manuela Kamosi), at the meter a member of the Belgian rap chemical group Fresh Beat Productions.
Technotronic's number one individual, 1989's "Pump Up the Jam," was a smash hit across Europe and eventually the U.S. While the record featured the raps of Ya Kid K, she was nowhere to be seen in the accompanying video, which or else featured Zairean-born style model Felly lip-synching the lyrics; small did fans realise that not only was Felly nowhere near the studio at the time the single was recorded, in the true she did not regular speak a word of English. She was also featured on the cover of Technotronic's debut LP, Pump Up the Jam: The Album, farther blurring the lines between truth and fiction; in the end, Bogaert admitted that Felly's services had been engaged strictly to build the grouping with "an double." When Technotronic toured in support of the 1990 hit "Pose Up! (Before the Night Is Over)," Ya Kid K and MC Eric were alone behind the microphone, and Ya Kid K was also rightfully featured in the song's video. The LP Head trip On This: The Remixes shortly followed, and in 1992 Ya Kid K went solo, albeit with Bogaert motionless in the producer's fanny; her debut album, One World Nation, scored with the impinge on "Be active This," originally a Technotronic abbreviate released as a individual subsequently finding success in a cosmetics commercial. The 1995 Technotronic return attack Hark back was non a success.
