摘要:

AbstractAlthough occupational hazard data are published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in each State capital, all these State collections are idiosyncratic. The consequent lack of uniformity effectively thwarts any but the simplest and most basic national studies of occupational health and safety. In this paper, the author examines the differences in definition, scope, coverage, source and categorisation of the various collections. In addition, he suggests that attempts to tabulate accident causes, variously presented in the different State collections, are wasteful of resources in preparation and counterproductive in their conceptualisation of the accident phenomenon.After reviewing some potential data sources for use as the basis of a national data set, he recommends that compensation data be developed for this purpose. The paper ends with a plea for the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission to use the statistics power of the Constitution to develop such a national collection.

摘要:

SummaryThe average gross incomes of parents caring for an intellectually handicapped child were compared with those of parents in the general population as measured by the New Zealand Household Survey. Those caring for a handicapped child had significantly lower total gross weekly incomes and this was particularly reflected in the lower incomes of the mothers. The parents were also questioned about matters relating to the care of their handicapped child which might adversely affect their work. These subjective opinions indicated that a number of aspects of work may be affected, such as the hours, location, type and level of employment. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for the provision of services and benefits to families caring for an intellectually handicapped child at home.

摘要:

AbstractThis article reviews progress in the United States towards implementing the concept of diagnosis related group reimbursement for hospital admissions. Although the basis of payments to public hospitals in Australia differs significantly from the basis of funding of hospitals in the United States, this article argues there is value in exploring further the possibility of introducing diagnosis related reimbursement in Australia.
