Keep Calm and Carry on: Why the Increasing Automation of Legal Services Should Deepen and Not Diminish Legal Education

The legal profession is not immune from the impact of rapid technological advances. Today, it is difficult to locate anyone who has not reached some level of acceptance of that truth. These advances are not limited to the way that information is stored, accessed and retrieved – though the speed at which vast amounts of material may be searched and sorted is radically transforming (most obviously) the laborious process of discovery. Certainly, technological developments have increased the pace and efficiency with which traditional legal services are provided. However, the more drastic changes are those that threaten to displace or rival the provision of those services themselves by the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and the development of platforms for cheap and easily obtainable automated legal advice. Depending on your perspective all of this may be highly attractive and liberating or perhaps a little anxiety inducing. But it cannot be ignored. That is another truth which it is hard to find anyone deny. Legal educators are as attuned to the need to respond to these changes as those in legal practice – indeed possibly more so given that we work on the frontline of intergenerational change as students show us entirely new ways of ‘being’ in the world, of connecting and working with others. So calls for changes in what and how we teach in law schools have long since passed the point of being cutting edge or revolutionary. The need to respond to so-called ‘digital disruption’ is unarguable. But there is a risk that legal educators will react in an alarmist and unmediated fashion to the future challenges of a changed legal services market – losing sight of what makes legal education distinctive and, we believe, will continue to be valued. We suggest in this article that we should appreciate the changes bearing down on us as creating opportunities. These are not only for an embrace of all that is new, but also for the enrichment of those traditional and defining features of legal education that may be expected to endure, if not actually increase in value, as legal practice continues its transformation.

Barriers to completing TB diagnosis in Yemen: services should respond to patients' needs.

Objectives and BackgroundObtaining a diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is a prerequisite for accessing specific treatment, yet one third of estimated new cases are missed worldwide by National Programmes. This study investigated economic, geographical, socio-cultural and health system factors hindering adults' attendance and completion of the TB diagnostic process in Yemen, to inform interventions designed to improve patient access to services.MethodologyThe study employed a mixed methods design comprising a cross-sectional survey and In-Depth-Interviews (IDIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) among patients abandoning the diagnosis or registering for treatment. Adults with cough of ≥2 weeks attending a large governmental referral centre in Sana'a, Yemen, between 2009 and 2010, were eligible to participate.Results497 and 446 (89.7%) participants were surveyed the first and second day of attending the services and 48 IDIs and 12 FGDs were also conducted. The majority of patients were disadvantaged and had poor literacy (61% illiterate), had travelled from rural areas (47%) and attended with companions (84%). Key barriers for attendance identified were clinic and transport costs (augmented by companions), distance from home, a preference for private services, strong social stigma and a lack of understanding of the diagnostic process. There were discrepancies between patient- and doctor-reported diagnosis and 46% of patients were unaware that TB treatment is free. Females faced more difficulties to attend than men. The laboratory practice of providing first-day negative smear results and making referrals to the private sector also discouraged patients from returning. Strategies to bring TB diagnostic services closer to communities and address the multiple barriers patients face to attend, will be important to increase access to TB diagnosis and care.

Current Status of Occupational Health Activities and the Way That Occupational Health Services Should Be Offered to Small- and Medium-scale Enterprises

Activating occupational safety and health activities among Small- and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) is a major issue because more than 80% of Japanese workers belong to these enterprises, in which the number of workers are less than 300 people. However, as the size of the enterprise decreases, the occurrence of problems of safety and health management systems and safety and health activities increases. Reasons for this include both the limitations of investments shortages of human resources. Occupational health services in SMEs has been provided by the cooperation of the following institutions: public associations (such as Regional Occupational Health Centers, Occupational Health Promotion Centers, Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA)), occupational health agencies which provide checkup services, health insurance associations, and regional medical services. In contrast to the low coverage of occupational health services among SMEs in Japan, there are some countries in Europe in which this coverage is almost 100%. This is because of the development of occupational health services outside the company. To show the benefits of the safety and health activities to managers of SMEs, and to motivate them to take advantage of the services, it is important to consider measurements. Also, establishing systems that provide those services, improving the quality of specialists such as occupational physicians, and educating human resources, are all necessary.

Medicare's Increasing Focus on Prevention and Wellness Services Should Garner Greater Attention by Health Care Practitioners and Communities

Since 2011, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires the provision of certain recommended clinical preventive services without cost-sharing for individuals in Medicare. We re-visited the effects of the ACA on preventive services utilization under Medicare, using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and examined the ACA's longer-term effects on preventive services utilization among Medicare beneficiaries. We analyzed nationally representative data on non-institutionalized Medicare beneficiaries (n = 27,124) from the 2006–2010 and 2012–2016 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Preventive services of interest were cholesterol test, blood pressure test, flu shot, endoscopy, blood stool test, clinical breast exam, mammography and prostate exam. We estimated propensity score weighted difference-in-difference (DID) models to test for differences in preventive services utilization based on Medicare insurance status. Nationwide, among beneficiaries with traditional Medicare only, who stood to gain the most from eliminating cost-sharing for preventive services, the percentage of women receiving clinical breast exams rose post-reform (Δ = 8.1%; p < 0.015) as compared to Medicare beneficiaries with supplemental private coverage, while at the same time the percentage receiving other preventive services did not change post-reform (all p > 0.05). Based on this analysis of MEPS data spanning 2006–2016, the ACA's enhancement of Medicare coverage had only modest effects on the percentage of beneficiaries receiving a range of preventive services. Medicare beneficiaries should be better informed of the availability of these services and encouraged by their physicians to avail the no cost-sharing incentive of these reforms.

Reaching a Consensus of What an Endoscopy Service Should Be Doing: A Critical Step on the Road to Excellence in Endoscopy

In recent decades, there have been major developments in health care and substantial improvements in clinical outcomes. However, there is still some way to go before we can say with confidence that all of our patients receive optimal care within our constraints of knowledge, technology and resources. In all health care systems, there is an unacceptable variation in care and, in many specialties, a lack of patient focus. This is particularly true for endoscopy, a diagnostic service that has evolved in a haphazard way, often in the backend of hospitals, and with insufficient planning to cope with new procedures and techniques, the burden of decontamination legislation and the huge expansion in demand.

Higher-Level Targets for Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity Should Focus on Regional Capacity for Effective Trade-Offs

The Convention on Biological Diversity has adopted 20 targets as part of its new Strategic Plan. Perrings et al. have proposed that such targets should focus solely on critical ecosystem services. Such a strategy may neglect the need to conserve overall biodiversity and corresponding option values. It also may neglect the important role of ecosystem services in systematic conservation planning strategies that seek effective regional trade-offs and synergies among different needs of society. Parties to the Convention have an opportunity to address not only conventional lists of individual targets for ecosystem services and overall biodiversity, but also higher-level targets that focus directly on how well the country achieves—and maintains its capacity to achieve—effective trade-offs among different needs of society.

What Food and Nutrition Services Should Be Regulated in Assisted-Living Facilities for Older Adults?

The opinions of both national aging and health experts and practicing registered dietitians (RDs) were surveyed on which key quality indicators from the Food And Nutrition Care Indicators checklist should be regulated in assisted-living facilities (ALFs) for older adults. The extent to which the practices on which the indicators were based should be regulated, and which were in fact included in the current regulations of the 50 states was also studied. One hundred fifty-three national aging and health experts were surveyed in 2005 and 882 practicing RDs who were members of two American Dietetic Association dietetic practice groups employed in ALFs were surveyed in 2006. Both the experts and the RDs believed that the need for regulations in ALF food and nutrition services was vital for about a third of the indicators, (eg, 18 items on the 57 item checklist), particularly those involving facilities and staffing. For seven out of the 18 indicators, there was substantial consensus between experts and RDs. Only three of the seven indicators were addressed by regulations in more than half of the states. Consensus exists among experts and RDs that a small but significant number of food and nutrition service indicators need to be regulated.

Deterioration of Local Medical Services Should be Solved by Order-Made Public Choice of Local Governments

Research activities in regional science must be organized in response to a variety of social needs, most of which are found seeking the direction of “Customer Centered Innovation” originally advocated by Chesbrough ([2]) . This tendency will lead regional science to the core of “science for society”. This paper presents the thinking and findings of a joint study between medical professionals and regional scientists interested in upgrading policy design competence of local governments for medical services. The research team carried out a series of case studies on local deteriorations in medical service of hospitals managed by local governments and tried to conceive a proper system to draw an individual conceptual map of what specifically caused the deterioration in medical services, assuming each case may have a different map of causes. The findings of this study indicate each local community has suffered deteriorated medical service caused by a set of causes very specific to the community, denying an easy set of policy-mix applicable to each community. This paper also reveals another important factor of “Japanese failure” that has caused many social problems aside from poor medical services. More specifically, we describe findings from “Health Data 2007 of EU” that report considerable difficulties in upgrading medical service systems in Japan have been caused by poor policy generation in the Japanese government sectionalized ministry by ministry, no proper policy discussions often necessary for forming a policy which has cross-ministry components and impacts of the nature. Japan is experiencing a wave of social change that naturally requires a paradigm-change in public choice, but Japanese governments, both central and local, have failed to realize this. Although many policy scientists related to public choice have argued for a long time that governmental organizations must abandon paternalism public choice managed by the government sector, decision processes of public choice in local communities have been improved little so far. The authors conclude that upgrading citizen participation and refining the scientific base of policy design for regional medical systems must be promoted and combine the above stated two activities to render local governments better at building their capacity in policy formulation.JEL Classification: I10, I18, I19

Patient and Family Support Organization Services Should Be Included As Part of Treatment for the Severely Mentally Ill

Patient and family support organizations for Axis I disorders have grown exponentially and expanded their services over the past two decades. However, psychiatrists generally have not referred patients and families to these organizations. The goal of this paper is to change clinicians' behavior so that they more commonly include support organization services in treatment plans for patients and families. We performed a literature review focusing on the changing needs of patients and their families as they relate to mental health teams, changes in the family therapy field, and concerns of both healthcare providers and related organizations about referral. Abundant anecdotal evidence and some scientific data suggest that patients and families are satisfied with these support organizations and the services they provide. However, support organizations need clinician referrals in order for their services to be integrated into a multi-modal quality treatment plan to achieve full treatment efficacy.
