Purpose Of The Study
- To analyze the formulation process of Chile's Ricarte Soto Law, a public policy aimed at financial protection for high-cost health treatments.
- To model the existing literature surrounding this public policy's development.
Main Methods
- An idiographic case study approach was employed, utilizing a transdisciplinary documentary review.
- A bibliographic search (2010-2023) in English and Spanish was conducted on concepts related to the public policy.
- Information was classified according to public policy formulation stages, using six indicators across three dimensions: resources, conflict, and impact.
Main Results
- The Ricarte Soto Law provides financial protection for high-cost disease diagnosis and treatment.
- Analysis of 50 articles revealed strengths and complexities in the law's formulation and implementation since 2015.
- The system currently covers 27 distinct pathologies.
Conclusions

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
In 2011, the New York Times published a feature story on Krista and Tatiana Hogan, Canadian twin girls. These particular twins are unique because Krista and Tatiana are conjoined twins, connected at the head. There is evidence that the two girls are connected in a part of the brain called the thalamus, which is a...
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:
• Confidence: Confidence tends to grow with experience in recognizing strengths and limitations. One example is performing IV cannulations.
• Independent thinking: Independent thinking is essential to improve and expand nursing practice. An example is selecting nursing interventions that are best for the patient.
• Fairness: Fairness...
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
