Milgram's Obedience to Authority02:20

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Observational Studies

11.1K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

1.6K
The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress. According to this theory, the unconscious mind contains thoughts, memories, and emotions that are too disturbing to face directly.
Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...

Naturalistic Observations

17.3K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective01:23

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

375
In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality01:19

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality

830
Behaviorists view personality as primarily shaped by environmental reinforcements and consequences. According to this perspective, behavior is influenced by external stimuli, and individuals adjust their actions based on rewards and punishments. Over time, learning histories — accumulated patterns of reinforcement — play a significant role in shaping personality. Behaviors that lead to positive outcomes are reinforced, while those resulting in negative outcomes are diminished.

Summary

The medication prior authorization (PA) process needs modernization. Implementing electronic prior authorization (ePA) solutions can address provider pain points, but awareness of ePA is low among healthcare professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Medical Informatics
  • Pharmacy Practice

Background:

  • The current medication prior authorization (PA) process used by community providers is outdated and requires significant modernization.
  • Understanding the community provider perspective on PA is crucial for developing effective managed care tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify, analyze, and categorize the issues encountered in the medication PA process from the perspective of healthcare providers.
  • To gather insights into potential improvements for the medication PA workflow.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, observational study utilizing semi-structured interviews and direct observation.
  • Data collected from eight primary care and subspecialty practices in Tucson, Arizona.
  • Qualitative analysis of participant feedback using the Richards coding technique.

Main Results:

  • Identified five key pain point categories: information transfer gaps, format disparities, outdated technologies, care consequences, and workarounds.
  • Providers suggested real-time alerts for PA during e-prescribing and improved formulary data.
  • While PA portals were used for information gathering, prospective electronic prior authorization (ePA) was not utilized by any participating sites.

Conclusions:

  • The medication PA process is in urgent need of modernization, with electronic prior authorization (ePA) offering potential solutions.
  • Provider and staff awareness of ePA is currently low, highlighting a need for further education and research.
  • Implementing ePA solutions could alleviate identified pain points and improve workflow efficiency.
