Defensive behavior in healthcare: the role of organizational factors

Defensive medicine occurs when a healthcare practitioner performs treatment or procedure to avoid exposure to malpractice litigation. Being the consequences of such a behavior nefarious both in terms of patient care, healthcare operations and cost, much has been done in terms of research and practice with the aim to reduce the likelihood of its occurrence. Because defensive medicine is strictly related to the doctor perception of the risk of litigation and its legal repercussions, in the last years, jurisprudence and insurance contract studies in healthcare focused on this topic, as well as national laws have been introduced with the goal of contrasting it. This paper argues and demonstrate…

Towards resilient cities: Advancements allowed by a multi-criteria optimization tool to face the new challenges of European Union’s climate and energ…

2019

Abstract The United Nations as well as the European Union are strongly committed in promoting a transition towards more sustainable and resilient cities. Indeed, they are increasingly affected by different types of threats, among which the natural ones such as earthquakes, fires, and floods (shocks) and climate variability (stresses). Cities are quite often unable to cope with the adverse effects of such natural hazards. This circumstance leads to the need of introducing resilience-related criteria (besides commonly used sustainability indicators) in decision-making processes. This paper investigates at which extent the inclusion of such new indicators, within multi-criteria assessment tool…

BETWEEN SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE IN MAKING DECISIONS ON THE ROMANIAN HIGHER EDUCATION MARKET

2012

Having roots in intentional behaviours, adverse selection as part of information asymmetry is a widely - discussed concept, closely related to many sides of economics and generating the most various problems in practice. As the specific literature says, the adverse selection leads, or at least in theory should lead to market failure when no external force comes to balance its effects. Since this failure never occurs in fact, it is questionable whether the adverse selection is the only factor that influences an uniformed consumer decision, or other factors come to counterbalance the factors described by Akerloff. This paper intends to advocate the idea that as much as adverse selection, ther…

Market Segmentation in the Decision Making Process in Tourism

This research also implied studying the behavior of current and potential customers who purchase travel services depending on several variables for establishing different consumption habits. Thus, to establish a more detailed image of the tourists who participated in this direct and…
