Concepts, approaches, and applications in sea use planning and management

Abstract This article discusses some essential concepts and approaches for sea use planning and management that are taken from the general literature on planning, management, and policy implementation. It is divided into two parts. The first part consists of an eclectic and wide‐ranging survey of the literature on planning, management, and policy analysis in general use. The second part contains applications to the analysis of problems of multiple‐use conflicts since this is a difficult and growing problem that sea use planners face. The perspective adopted in this paper is that of a senior policy analyst attached to the prime minister's or president's planning staff/office. As such, the focus is on the interests of the whole nation and across all marine sectors.

How the U.S. spent its health care dollar: 1929-1980.

Prologue: The cost of medical care has become an overriding interest of the health sphere, government, and private payers because medicine has demonstrated a capacity to consume an increasing portion of the gross national product at the expense of other goods and services. Based on the estimates of the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) that health care will be a $1.4 trillion annual enterprise by the year 2000, there is every indication the interest in costs and their moderation will only increase. One dimension of the cost picture that has received less attention is how America spends its medical care dollar. In this essay, authors Marc Berk, Alan Monheit, and Michael Hagan focus on that subject by looking at spending trends over a fifty-year period ending in 1980. Berk joined Project HOPE's Center for Health Affairs in early 1988 as a senior policy analyst after spending nine years at the National Center for Health Services Research and Health Care Technology Assessment (NCHSR), where he was one of the principal designers of the National Medical Care Expenditure Survey. Berk, who took much of his graduate training at Brown University, received a doctorate in sociology from New York University in 1980. He joined the National Opinion Research Center soon afterward to work on the National Medical Care Expenditure Survey, which was underwritten by NCHSR. Berk's research pursuits have included the analysis of the rising costs of medical expenditure surveys and health policy issues relating to access to care (particularly among Hispanics, divorced women, and the elderly), and Medicare and Medicaid. Monheit, who holds a doctorate in economics (from the City University of New York), is a labor economist who has worked at NCHSR for a decade. He is best known in the research community for his work on the relationship between employment and health insurance (see Monheit et al., “Health Insurance for the Unemployed: Is Federal Legislation Needed?” Health Affairs, Spring 1984). Hagan, who also is a labor economist, formerly worked at NCHSR as a research analyst.

Creating Opportunity: Strategies for Increasing Economic Self-Sufficiency of Older Americans

We are paying a national fortune for not grappling with the problem of older workers, says Pat Choate, senior policy analyst at TRW, Inc. Today's workers are tomorrow's workers, Choate notes, estimating that 75 percent of today's labor force will still be working at the end of the century. A lot of people may not like what they see, but America is aging. Older people are the fastest growing cohort in our society. What that means is, in a tumultuous time of change, how well we harness the productivity of older workers will in large measure determine how well we rebuild this Yet increasingly, older persons are at the margin or excluded from the economy. Millions of older people depend on social welfare and retirement benefits as their primary source of income. And in spite of attempts to reduce the trend, says Hugh O'Neill, senior policy advisor to New York Governor Mario Cuomo, the incidence of older persons experiencing financial hardship is growing, their dependence on income maintenance programs and retirement benefits is increasing, and resulting costs to taxpayers, government, and business are rising. For most older persons, according to O'Neill, the problem of dependency will not disappear with the restoration of a healthy economy, by expanding present social welfare programs, or by tinkering with the system. To reduce dependence, social policies and the policy development process must be radically reconsidered and recast. Instead of attempting to reduce dependency by changing eligibility requirements, bene-

Medicare Physician Payment, Participation, and Reform

Prologue: National expenditures for physicians' services have been rising over the last twenty years at increasing rates, from 83 percent annually in the 1960-65 period to a 14.9 percent annual rate in 1980-82, despite a recession. Medicare program spending has reflected these trends. During the period 1978 to 1983, expenditures for physicians' services increased at an annual average rate of growth of 20.5 percent. Between 1983 and 1984, the rate of increase for Medicare Part B outlays fell to 11.4 percent. In this essay, the authors, all of whom work for the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), set out these physician spending trends, Medicares payment methods, existing problems with this system, and generic approaches to reform. The authors declare that “inefficiencies in the existing payment system, coupled with their impact on the federal budget deficit, make changes in Medicare a top priority for the administration and Congress.” The authors work for HCFA's Office of Legislation and Policy. Ira Burney is a senior policy analyst who is steeped in the details of the complicated world of Medicare physician payment. Hickman has spent four years working as a budget and legislative analyst at the agency. Paradise is a presidential management intern, and George Schieber, who holds a Ph.D. in economics from Syracuse University, is a recognized specialist in physician payment. Schieber formerly taught at the University of Pittsburgh and conducted research at The Urban Institute. For the last decade, Schieber has specialized in physician payment issues at the Department of Health and Human Services. During this period, the department has been plagued with the lack of a consistent national physician data base and a dearth of information on how physicians would respond to payment reform proposals. These problems still dog the department's policymakers. In January, Schieber took leave from HCFA for a time to conduct comparative international health policy studies at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
