It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

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...

Threats to Biodiversity

There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Healthcare interoperability adoption is driven by economic factors, not just technology. Incentives and mandates significantly impact the uptake of health information exchange systems, as seen in e-prescribing.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Health Economics
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • Despite significant investment in healthcare interoperability, clinician adoption remains inconsistent.
  • Many providers still use outdated methods like fax for health information exchange, even with mature technical standards available.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether barriers to healthcare interoperability adoption are primarily technical or economic.
  • To analyze the economic factors influencing the adoption of health information exchange.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative case study of e-prescribing adoption in Canada, the United States, and Denmark.
  • Analysis of different policy approaches: voluntary adoption, penalty-based adoption, and nationwide mandates.
  • Application of economic theories including transaction costs, externalities, Coase's theorem, and information asymmetry.

Main Results:

  • Canada's voluntary e-prescribing model showed limited uptake.
  • The United States achieved significant adoption after implementing penalties tied to Medicare Part D.
  • Denmark's nationwide mandate resulted in near-universal e-prescribing adoption.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare interoperability adoption is significantly influenced by the distribution of costs and benefits among stakeholders, rather than solely by technology.
  • Economic design principles are crucial for achieving sustainable health data exchange and interoperability.
  • The findings suggest a need to extend this economic framework to other areas of health data exchange.
