Until my twins are 18, I plan on allowing them to drive only if I'm
by their side so that I don't have to pay for them to be on
my auto policy. Would this work to save money on car insurance?
While your idea to allow your teen drivers to only operate your
vehicles if you're by their side may make them safer drivers, it
doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be able to save money on car
insurance. (See "
Do insurers automatically add teens to your
The rules and guidelines of insurance companies vary. Some allow
young drivers
with just a learner's permit to be covered by your policy without
being added as a driver. Other auto insurance providers require you
list even those with a permit -- and pay for them to be
To find out what your car insurance company mandates, contact
your agent before your children even receive their permits.
This way you can find out when your insurer requires your teenagers
to be added to the policy at the permit or license stage and get an
estimate of the cost. (See "
A parent's guide to insuring a teen driver
If you find that your auto insurer will let you keep your young
drivers off the policy as long as they've only received their
permit, then see if there is any time limit - by either the insurer
or the state.
For instance, if your state requires a novice driver to carry
the permit for only six months but you plan on your teenagers
carrying it for two years, then your insurer may at some point note
that your children have carried a permit for a lengthy period of
time and ask you to add them as drivers to your policy.
And in regards to the state, there is likely an expiration date
for the permit. In some states you just pay a fee to renew a
permit, but in others your
teen drivers
would need to apply all over again for the permit - meaning paying
fees as well as retaking any required tests.
If part of your plan is to let your children continue with the
licensing process, so that they can obtain their intermediate and
then full license, you're definitely going to have to add them to
your policy as they proceed through the graduated licensing system
- even if you plan to continue to be sitting in the passenger seat
as their permanent supervising driver.
All auto insurance companies will require that you add your
teenagers who are licensed and driving your cars. And, as you
apparently understand, this will make your car insurance rates go
up - a lot. (See "What a teen does to your car insurance
The auto insurer may be happy that you'll continue to guide your
children and never let them drive alone until they are 18, but
there is no way for you to prove that to them. Insurance
companies deal with a lot of fraud, so it's not going to be able to
take your word that the teens won't drive alone to cut you a deal
on their premiums.
Unfortunately, there is not yet any discount for having twin
drivers (I sadly say as a parent of twins myself); however, there
are ways to save money when you have teen drivers. See about
getting discounts or lower rates due to:
Also, shop around. Your insurance company may charge more
for teen drivers than other auto insurers in your area. By
shopping around for rates, you may save hundreds, if not thousands,
on your car insurance premiums.
If you truly can't afford the cost of your teen drivers right
now, you may need to have them wait to get licensed until it's
financially viable (such as they work and pay for their own portion
of the policy).

So I had be comptemplating over the past few weeks weather I would go for a car loan or not...I had spend the last two years rebulding and have a very decent credit card portfoio. So today I went into Lexus dealership and looked at a 2010 SUV (GX 470) that I wanted test drove it, the priced was right where I wanted it. Decided to give the financing route a shot. The Sales Manager asked on scale of 1 to 10 where's my credit, I said 6, because I was worried the BK would be an issue, he comes back and says how does 4.99 sound I almost fell out of my chair today. I did not expect a rate that low I was thinking maybe something around the 9%. I got my EQ credit score from them and it was 698. All I can say is that I am a happy camper right now....i owe everything to all the contributors on this forum I have learned so much and gained so much confidence and gotten my credit back in shape. Next up is a mortgage I will be targetting the fall for that one.
Awesome job!!!! WAY TO GO!! You get a happy dance.

John Makepeace
|This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. (October 2009)
John Makepeace OBE, (b 6 July 1939, Solihull Warwickshire), is a British furniture designer and maker. He bought Parnham House, Dorset in 1976 and founded the Parnham Trust and the School for Craftsmen in Wood (opening 19 September 1977, later to become Parnham College)[1][2] to provide integrated courses in design, making and management for aspiring furniture-makers, alongside but separately from his own furniture workshops.[3] One of the early students was Viscount Linley, nephew to the Queen of England.
Makepeace ceased running the Trust in 2000 when it moved to the new campus at Hooke Park under a new director who handed the premises over to the Architectural Association, the international school of architecture, for their practical modules.
John Makepeace constantly explores the issues of function, structure and expression predominantly for private clients. The work is innovative and exclusive. Paradoxically he once designed furniture for the retail market including Habitat, Heals and Liberty's.
He has taken the art of lamination and forming to a high art. Lamination is the process of layering wood together - the wood layers can be thin enough to bend easily and the glue lines thin enough to be invisible. When the layers are bent, two-dimensional curves of great strength result. Layers can also be twisted to create free-flowing three-dimensional curves especially relevant to generating shapes to provide good support in the backs of chairs. This means that fibres flex the natural line of wood.
His influences and inspirations are many ; 'dynamic traditions - buildings, modern architecture, science, structural engineering, behavioural patterns and the human form' (from Furniture Today).
Makepeace has been influential since the Seventies British Craft Revival; this continues through the growth of numerous workshops in Britain today, not least because of his entrepreneurial leadership encouraging more creative and professional practice by furniture-makers.
John Makepeace continues to design and make furniture exploring form, structure and a range of indigenous and sustainable resources.

Hospital quality reports in Germany: patient and physician opinion of the reported quality indicators.
ABSTRACT Starting in 2005, Germany's health law required hospital quality reports to be published every two years by all acute care hospitals. The reports were intended to help patients and physicians make informed choices of hospitals. However, while establishing the quality indicators that form the content of the reports, the information needs of the target groups were not explicitly taken into account. Therefore, the aim of our study was to determine patient and physician opinion of the relevance of the reported quality indicators for choosing or referring to a hospital.
Convenience samples of 50 patients and 50 physicians were asked to rate the understandability (patients), suitability (physicians) and relevance (both groups) of a set of 29 quality indicators. The set was drawn from the reports (24 indicators) and supplemented by five indicators commonly used in hospital quality reports. We analysed the differences in patient and physician ratings of relevance of all indicators by applying descriptive statistics, t-tests and Wilcoxon tests.
Only three indicators were considered not understandable by the interviewed patients and unsuitable by the interviewed physicians. The patients rated 19 indicators as highly or very relevant, whereas the physicians chose 15 indicators. The most relevant indicator for the patients was "qualification of doctors", and for the physicians "volume of specified surgical procedures". Patient and physician rankings of individual indicators differed for 25 indicators. However, three groups of indicators could be differentiated, in which the relevance ratings of patients and physicians differed only within the groups. Four of the five indicators that were added to the existing set of reported indicators ranked in the first or second group ("kindness of staff", "patient satisfaction", "recommendation", and "distance to place of living").
Most of the content of Germany's hospital quality reports seems to be useful for patients and physicians and influence their choice of hospitals. However, the target groups revealed that approximately one third of the indicators (mostly hospital structural characteristics), were not useful and hence could have been omitted from the reports. To enhance the usefulness of the reports, indicators on patient experiences should be added.
Article: An analysis of online evaluations on a physician rating website: evidence from a german public reporting instrument.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Physician rating websites (PRW) have been gaining in popularity among patients who are seeking a physician. However, little evidence is available on the number, distribution, or trend of evaluations on PRWs. Furthermore, there is no published evidence available that analyzes the characteristics of the patients who provide ratings on PRWs. The objective of the study was to analyze all physician evaluations that were posted on the German PRW, jameda, in 2012. Data from the German PRW, jameda, from 2012 were analyzed and contained 127,192 ratings of 53,585 physicians from 107,148 patients. Information included medical specialty and gender of the physician, age, gender, and health insurance status of the patient, as well as the results of the physician ratings. Statistical analysis was carried out using the median test and Kendall Tau-b test. Thirty-seven percent of all German physicians were rated on jameda in 2012. Nearly half of those physicians were rated once, and less than 2% were rated more than ten times (mean number of ratings 2.37, SD 3.17). About one third of all rated physicians were female. Rating patients were mostly female (60%), between 30-50 years (51%) and covered by Statutory Health Insurance (83%). A mean of 1.19 evaluations per patient could be calculated (SD 0.778). Most of the rated medical specialties were orthopedists, dermatologists, and gynecologists. Two thirds of all ratings could be assigned to the best category, "very good". Female physicians had significantly better ratings than did their male colleagues (P<.001). Additionally, significant rating differences existed between medical specialties (P<.001). It could further be shown that older patients gave better ratings than did their younger counterparts (P<.001). The same was true for patients covered by private health insurance; they gave more favorable evaluations than did patients covered by statutory health insurance (P<.001). No significant rating differences could be detected between female and male patients (P=.505). The likelihood of a good rating was shown to increase with a rising number of both physician and patient ratings. Our findings are mostly in line with those published for PRWs from the United States. It could be shown that most of the ratings were positive, and differences existed regarding sociodemographic characteristics of both physicians and patients. An increase in the usage of PRWs might contribute to reducing the lack of publicly available information on physician quality. However, it remains unclear whether PRWs have the potential to reflect the quality of care offered by individual health care providers. Further research should assess in more detail the motivation of patients who rate their physicians online.Journal of Medical Internet Research 01/2013; 15(8):e157. · 3.77 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The choice of a healthcare facility is not as straightforward as it usually seems. The assumption is that patients want high- quality care at the cheapest rates and choose centres that best fit their needs and preferences. However, in reality it is the result of interplay between patient and provider characteristics. The aim of the study is to identify the factors which determine the choice of health services to accommodate the changing trends.The method employed was a cross-sectional descriptive study of 384 respondents selected by a 2 staged random sampling technique.The majority (59.9%) of the respondents felt that the Teaching Hospital provided the best health care services.Perception of the overall quality of care (34.9%), perception of competence of health professionals (32.0%) and effectiveness of treatments given (28.0%) were the factors considered to be the most important in determining which facility provided the best services. Other less important determinants are cost, friendliness or hostility of health personnel, incessant strike action by health personnel and proximity of facilities to the homes. The most important determinants of choice of health facility are waiting time and perception of the quality of care. Other factors include cost, friendliness of health personnel, potential of strike action by health personnel and geographical access.Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences. 01/2014; 2(1C):274-282.
Article: Physician choice making and characteristics associated with using physician-rating websites: cross-sectional study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Over the past decade, physician-rating websites have been gaining attention in scientific literature and in the media. However, little knowledge is available about the awareness and the impact of using such sites on health care professionals. It also remains unclear what key predictors are associated with the knowledge and the use of physician-rating websites. To estimate the current level of awareness and use of physician-rating websites in Germany and to determine their impact on physician choice making and the key predictors which are associated with the knowledge and the use of physician-rating websites. This study was designed as a cross-sectional survey. An online panel was consulted in January 2013. A questionnaire was developed containing 28 questions; a pretest was carried out to assess the comprehension of the questionnaire. Several sociodemographic (eg, age, gender, health insurance status, Internet use) and 2 health-related independent variables (ie, health status and health care utilization) were included. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and t tests. Binary multivariate logistic regression models were performed for elaborating the characteristics of physician-rating website users. Results from the logistic regression are presented for both the observed and weighted sample. In total, 1505 respondents (mean age 43.73 years, SD 14.39; 857/1505, 57.25% female) completed our survey. Of all respondents, 32.09% (483/1505) heard of physician-rating websites and 25.32% (381/1505) already had used a website when searching for a physician. Furthermore, 11.03% (166/1505) had already posted a rating on a physician-rating website. Approximately 65.35% (249/381) consulted a particular physician based on the ratings shown on the websites; in contrast, 52.23% (199/381) had not consulted a particular physician because of the publicly reported ratings. Significantly higher likelihoods for being aware of the websites could be demonstrated for female participants (P<.001), those who were widowed (P=.01), covered by statutory health insurance (P=.02), and with higher health care utilization (P<.001). Health care utilization was significantly associated with all dependent variables in our multivariate logistic regression models (P<.001). Furthermore, significantly higher scores could be shown for health insurance status in the unweighted and Internet use in the weighted models. Neither health policy makers nor physicians should underestimate the influence of physician-rating websites. They already play an important role in providing information to help patients decide on an appropriate physician. Assuming there will be a rising level of public awareness, the influence of their use will increase well into the future. Future studies should assess the impact of physician-rating websites under experimental conditions and investigate whether physician-rating websites have the potential to reflect the quality of care offered by health care providers.Journal of Medical Internet Research 01/2013; 15(8):e187. · 3.77 Impact Factor

By law, all German hospitals are required to publish a
structured quality report every two years. The first series of
reports of 1,983 acute care hospitals was published in
PDF-format on the internet in September of 2005 [1]. The
aim of these quality reports was to allow insurees/patients
and referring physicians to make an informed choice of
hospitals [2].
Publishing these reports on the quality of hospital care is
comparable to efforts in many countries of the world [e.g.
[3-6]]. However, the process of choosing the right quality
indicators for the report did not follow state of the art
methodology [7-12], as reflected in the set of indicators
that was ultimately chosen. A group of representatives of
the self-administration of the German health care system
– representing the statutory social health insurance funds
and the German hospital association – established the
content of the reports without explicitly taking into
account international experiences and the information
needs of patients and referring physicians [Daniela Riese,
association of substitute health insurance funds for
employees, personal communication].
Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine whether
the quality reports and their respective quality indicators
could nevertheless be useful for informed decision mak-
ing by determining the relevance attributed to the
reported hospital quality indicators by patients and refer-
ring physicians.
Quality indicators
The German quality reports are divided into two parts:
- A structured and comparable part with information on
the scope and volume of services provided by each hospi-
- An unstructured and virtually comparable part with
information on hospital quality management systems.
Since these quality reports do not contain quality indica-
tors as exactly defined parameters [13], we extracted all
items from the first part of the reports that may be relevant
for informed decision making while choosing a hospital
(see list of indicators in the table). To study the usefulness
of the structured quality reports as they were published in
2005, i.e. as PDF-files without glossary, we used the exact
wording of the reports and explained the meaning of the
different indicators to the interviewed patients and physi-
cians in more detail only on request and only after receiv-
ing their answers to our questions.
The reports missed many indicators that are commonly
used in quality reports and we did not want to excessively
strain our interviewees. We therefore added only five
internationally acknowledged indicators to the former list
of 24 indicators: "patient satisfaction", "kindness of staff",
"distance to place of living", "recommendation by rela-
tives or physicians", and "hospital regularly visited or
referred to". We thus ended up with 29 indicators to be
examined in our study.
Patients, physicians and settings
Since surveys that do not collect personal data do not
require approval by the ethics committee of the University
of Duesseldorf, we only asked the interviewees for their
consent to participate in the study. On four consecutive
days, a medical student interviewer (DS) visited the wait-
ing rooms of four general practitioners' surgeries in the cit-
ies of Cologne, Duesseldorf, Wuppertal, and Duisburg,
which are located in the Rhine-Ruhr area of Germany.
There, he recruited 50 patients who agreed to take part in
an interview on choosing hospital care. The sample was
therefore drawn as a convenience sample of consecutive
patients of the respective private practices.
Table 1 presents the patient group's age and gender struc-
ture, as well as the proportion of the proportion of statu-
torily insured study patients compared to this proportion
in average GP patients in Germany [Zentralinstitut für die
kassenaerztliche Versorgung, Berlin: Patient-Physician-
Panel (ADT-Panel), I/2007, personal communication]. In
the study patient group, women and patients holding pri-
vate insurance were overrepresented. Concerning experi-
ence with in-hospital care in Germany, data for the
average group of a GP's patients do not exist. In our sam-
ple, two patients did not yet experience a hospital stay, the
remaining 48 experienced an average of 4.7 periods of
hospital care (range of 1–30 episodes of in-hospital care).
DS performed the 50 structured face-to-face interviews
that took an average of 25 minutes in a separate room of
the doctor's office. The patients were asked to imagine suf-
fering from an inguinal hernia. In order to choose a hos-
pital for performing the required surgery, they were
handed a fictitious "regional hospital quality information
package". This package was comprised of different com-
parative graphs on the quality of care at ten hospitals

along with the list of indicators that were used to compare
the hospitals. The patients were then asked to rate a) the
understandability of the indicators (understandable/not
understandable), and b) the relevance of the 29 indicators
for making an informed choice of which hospital to go to.
The rating scale ranged from 1–6 and was based on the
grading system in German schools:
- One (1) = highly relevant
- Two (2) = very relevant
- Three (3) = somewhat relevant
- Four (4) = somewhat irrelevant
- Five (5) = very irrelevant
- Six (6) = completely irrelevant
Another medical student interviewer (TM) visited 50 gen-
eral practitioners (GPs) who agreed to take part in the
study. All practitioners worked in the cities of Hagen and
Bochum and their surrounding regions in North Rhine-
Westphalia. The convenience sample was drawn by
informing all practitioners (N = 164) of those two regions
about the study in writing and choosing the first 50 that
agreed to participate. Their mean age was 50 years and 10
were women. Only 13 worked in group practices; the
remaining 37 in single private practices.
The GPs were asked to imagine a patient needing an
inguinal hernia operation. In order to make an informed
referral decision, the physicians received a fictitious infor-
mation package from the region's social health insurance
funds. This package was comprised of information about
the quality of care in regional hospitals. The physicians
were asked to rate a) the suitability (yes/no) and, b) the
relevance of the 29 indicators for making an informed
referral decision (rating scale from 1 to 6 as explained
We compared the number of patients who rated the differ-
ent indicators as understandable and the number of phy-
sicians who rated the different indicators as suitable. The
mean ratings and standard deviations of every indicator
were examined with respect to their relevance rating. We
analysed differences between the patient and physician
ratings of relevance of the individual indicators by apply-
ing t-tests. Within the groups of patients and physicians,
we analysed the ratings by performing Wilcoxon tests,
comparing the ratings of those neighbouring indicators
that differed in their median ratings between grades two
and three.
Table 2 (see additional file 1) shows each of the 29 indi-
cators with the ratings of patients and physicians in rela-
tion to their relevance, understandability and suitability.
The indicators are ranked according to the mean relevance
ratings of the patient group, showing the highest ranking
indicator ("qualification of doctors") at the top of the list.
In addition, the table shows the relevance ranking by the
physician group.
Considering understandability, most indicators (22 out of
29) were understandable for more than 40 interviewed
patients (80%). However, only five indicators were under-
stood by the entire group of patients. In the physician
group, only one indicator was suitable for all of the inter-
viewed doctors and only 11 out of 29 indicators were suit-
able for more than 80% of them. Four indicators were
judged as not understandable by more than half of the
patients compared to seven indicators deemed not suita-
ble in the group of physicians.
Considering the patient relevance ratings for each of the
indicators, 19 indicators were rated highly or very relevant
(median grades one or two). The remaining 10 received
grades of three to six, meaning somewhat relevant to com-
pletely irrelevant. Only one indicator received a median
grade of four ("hospital owner"). However, 16 out of 29
indicators were graded completely irrelevant by at least
one of the interviewed patients.
The majority of physicians rated fifteen indicators as
highly or very relevant and fourteen as somewhat relevant
to completely irrelevant. Five indicators received a median
grade of four or five. 24 out of 29 indicators were graded
as completely irrelevant by at least one physician.
Within the groups of patients and physicians, the indica-
tor ratings differed significantly for those indicators that
were rated grade three (somewhat relevant) ("profes-
sional training for doctors" in both groups) compared to
the indicators with a median rating of grade two (very rel-
evant) or better (in the patients, the indicator ranked on
position 18 "distance to place of living", in the physicians,
the indicator ranked on position 12 and better "specialist
outpatient department").
The comparison of patient and physician relevance rank-
ings shows no difference for four indicators, whereas the
rankings of all other indicators differed between one and
seven positions. However, the analysis indicates three
groups of indicators that may be differentiated:
- Indicators ranked 1st to 10th position ("qualification of
doctors" to "range of therapeutic facilities"),
Page 4
BMC Health Services Research 2007, 7:157http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6963/7/157
Page 4 of 6
(page number not for citation purposes)
- Indicators ranked 11th to 19th position ("recommenda-
tion" to "professional training for doctors")
- Indicators ranked 20th to 29th position ("hospital oper-
ates an outpatient department" to "hospital owner").
The relevance rankings of patients and physicians differed
only within these groups and did not overlap with the
other groups. Within the first group of ten indicators, only
one showed a significant difference between the patient
and physician ratings of relevance. In both the second and
third group of indicators, four differed significantly.
The first ten indicators were judged most relevant by both
groups. However, while the patients ranked the indicators
"qualification of doctors", "kindness of staff" and "patient
satisfaction" in the 1st to 3rd positions, these indicators
received the 6th, 7th and 5th rank respectively, by the group
of physicians. On the other hand, the physicians ranked
the indicators "volume of specified surgical procedures",
"24-hours-availability of technical equipment", and
"range of therapeutic facilities" 1st to 3rd, whereas the
patients ranked these indicators on the 7th, 6th, and 10th
position, respectively.
Five indicators were added to the list published in the offi-
cial German hospital quality reports. Two of them ranked
in the first group ("kindness of staff" and "patient satisfac-
tion") received 2nd and 3rd positions from the patient
group and 7th and 5th position from the physicians. Two in
the second group ("recommendation" and "distance to
place of living") received 11th and 18th positions from the
patient group and 14th and 13th position from the physi-
cians. The last in the third group ("hospital regularly vis-
ited or referred to") received the 25th position from the
patient group and the 27th position from the physicians.
Most but not all indicators published recently as part of
the first series of obligatory federal hospital quality
reports in Germany were judged by patients and referring
physicians as useful in choosing a hospital. At least 10 out
of 24 indicators could be omitted from the quality reports
because both target groups (patients and physicians) rated
these indicators as less relevant for choosing a hospital. In
addition, three of these indicators were not understanda-
ble or suitable to more than half of both target groups, fur-
ther justifying their omission. However, at least three
indicators ("kindness of staff", "patient satisfaction", and
"recommendation") should be added to the reports in
order to enhance their usefulness. They received high rel-
evance and at the same time high understandability or
suitability rankings.
Understandability and suitability of the indicators
The interviewed patients apparently understood almost
all indicators included in the hospital quality reports.
Only four indicators were judged "understandable" by
less than half of the patients. The physicians' judgements
of suitability of the listed indicators as an information
tool for their referral decision were more diverse. There
was only one indicator deemed suitable to all physicians
("volume of specified surgical procedures") and only
eleven indicators were suitable to more than 80% of the
Relevance of the indicators
The patients judged the indicators more positively than
the physicians by rating a greater number of indicators as
highly or very relevant for choosing a hospital. Only one
indicator received a median grade of four by the patients.
The number of patients treated as well as some structural
characteristics of hospitals (e.g. "certified to treat insured
accidents") appeared to be of less relevance to patients. By
way of contrast, patients considered the number of proce-
dures performed and the range and availability of spe-
cialty services as very relevant. Especially the qualification
of doctors and nurses and indicators assessing patient sat-
isfaction seemed to be relevant for choosing a hospital.
The kindness of the staff and the reputation of a hospital
were also highly relevant to patients.
The indicators concerning patient experiences played an
important role for physicians as well. However, the top
four positions in the physician ranking of relevance were
held by indicators focussing on the number of procedures
and range and availability of services. Those indicators
judged less relevant by the patients were judged even less
relevant by the physicians.
However, based on the comparison of the rankings
depicted in the table, the patient and physician rankings
did not differ entirely. There were three groups of indica-
tors within which the positions of the individual indica-
tors differed marginally between the patients and
physicians but did not overlap with the other groups
(positions 1 to 10, 11 to 19, and 20 to 29). Especially the
indicators ranked position 1 to 10 in both groups seemed
to be highly useful for hospital quality reports. Within this
group, only one indicator differed significantly between
patients and physicians. Based on these results, the quality
reports could be condensed by omitting at least the third
group of indicators (positions 20–29) judged more or less
irrelevant by both groups. At the same time, the quality
reports should be expanded by incorporating those indi-
cators of patient experiences that were rated highly or very
relevant by both patients and physicians.

Generalisation of the results
Some methodological issues question the generalisation
of the results. First of all, the small group of interviewees
(convenience samples of 50 patients and 50 physicians)
might have caused a selection bias. In the group of
patients, women and privately insured individuals were
overrepresented. Private insurance is usually correlated to
social class in Germany, thereby creating an overrepresen-
tation of higher social class patients in that group. This
may be an explanation for the small differences between
the patient and physician ratings of the indicator rele-
vance and for the high ratings of understandability in the
group of patients. There might have been much higher dif-
ferences in the indicator ratings if a more representative
sample of the German population had been questioned.
However, the results of our small scale study have recently
been supported by a survey of a representative sample of
the German adult population. Out of 33 indicators that
were rated according to their relevance for choosing a hos-
pital, those indicators that were rated highly or very rele-
vant in our study were rated almost the same way by the
representative population sample [14].
In addition, the overrepresentation of privately insured
individuals reflects the actual users of the hospital quality
reports. These reports were exclusively published via the
internet and higher social class individuals generally tend
to show higher internet access and use in Germany.
In regard to the physicians, the group of interviewees were
well represented by general practitioners (GPs) in Ger-
many. German GPs are required by law to counsel
patients and support them in choosing a hospital for treat-
ment. This provides justification for the selection of GPs
and the exclusion of specialized physicians for the study.
However, interviewing the first 50 GPs who agreed to par-
ticipate in the study might have caused a bias, since these
physicians might have judged the suitability and rele-
vance of the indicators more positively than a non-con-
venience sample of GPs.
Moreover, the lack of detailed explanations of the indica-
tors provided to the interviewees before collecting their
ratings could have led to misunderstandings. This could
have caused false results. As an example, there were signif-
icant differences between the ratings of relevance for the
indicators "realization of minimum volume standards"
(patients: 23rd position, physicians: 21st position) and
"volume of specified surgical procedures" (patients: 7th
position, physicians: 1st position). However, the meaning
of both indicators overlap to a great extent: the first indi-
cator shows whether a hospital fulfils the volume require-
ments set by law for five specific surgical procedures, the
second indicator stands for the volume of surgical proce-
dures in general. Since the indicator "realization of mini-
mum volume standards" has been judged not
understandable by two thirds of the patients, this large
difference might well be explained. Because most other
indicators were considered understandable, the problem
of misunderstandings might be negligible. And since the
interview setting – not commenting the indicators before
the interviewees rated understandability (patients) or suit-
ability (physicians) and relevance (both groups) – corre-
sponds to the situation in which the patient or physician
performs an internet information search of the quality
reports, the results of our study may be especially valid.
Even when using the internet, patients and physicians
might not be able to find additional explanatory informa-
Finally, the study results might be of limited value because
the indicators of the German hospital quality reports
reflect unique features of the German health care system
and only marginally compare to indicators used in other
countries. Indeed, most of the indicators refer to structural
characteristics of hospitals that are specific to Germany.
Maintaining an outpatient department is usually only per-
mitted in bigger hospitals, for example. Only those indi-
cators that have been added reflect some qualitative
features of hospitals that are commonly measured in per-
formance assessment. In addition, the methodology of
setting up the German hospital quality report did not fol-
low state of the art approaches [7-12]. There might be no
protocol that uses identical indicators.
Nevertheless, some lessons remain to be learned if one
looks at the meaning of the indicators rather than at the
individual indicator itself. Patients and physicians as tar-
get groups of hospital quality reports preferred indicators
of range, volume and availability of services in hospitals,
and of staff qualification and patient experiences over
indicators that only state numbers of cases, structures or
equipment. Since stakeholders around the world are
struggling to issue comparable information on the quality
of hospitals, it might be worthwhile not only to follow
internationally acknowledged methodology but also to
consider the views of patients and physicians as principal
target groups of the reports.
Considering the understandability and relevance ratings
of the indicators that form the basis of the German hospi-
tal quality reports, most of the report content seems to be
useful to patients and physicians in their choice of hospi-
tals. Participation of the target groups in the design of the
quality reports could have revealed that about one third of
the indicators were not useful and hence could have been
omitted. In addition, this study shows that at least some
qualitative indicators on patient experiences should have

Runner's bill to fight Section 8 housing fraud to go into effect January 1, 2009.
A bill that will combat Section 8 housing fraud was signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and will go into effect January 1. Assembly Bill 2827, authored by Assemblywoman Sharon Runner will establish a database of housing fraud incidents that will be available to county law enforcement officials.
"I am thrilled that the Governor joined me in the fight against Section 8 Housing fraud," Runner said. "This legislation will help crackdown on those who abuse the system while increasing access for qualified hardworking families who are in need of subsidized housing."
"Currently, thousands of Californians who are in need wait for Section 8 Housing support for years on end, while greedy criminals with sufficient means illegally use public resources and take advantage of society's goodwill," Runner said.
AB 2827 will allow District Attorney's offices to track incidents of Section 8 Housing fraud in each county. This data will provide substantial evidence on the severity and extent of this fraud, as there is no uniform tracking system within the state.
"As of next year, law enforcement officials will be able to track this crime and gather the necessary data as the extent of the problem is currently unknown statewide," Runner explained. "This will allow law enforcement to develop a plan of action to combat Section 8 Housing fraud."
"The citizens of the Antelope and Victor Valleys have seen the negative effects of this fraud firsthand," Runner added. "AB 2827 is common-sense, cost-effective legislation that will address this major issue, protect those citizens in need, and help put an end to this criminal behavior."

Workplace revolution: What does dressed for success mean in 2013?
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Need a job? Wear a skirt or tie to the interview.
Have a job? Workplace attire just might mean something else.
Workplace attire is undergoing a revolution of sorts. In some workplaces, what was once "casual Friday" has become "business normal" throughout the work week. Shirts and ties for men and skirts and blazers for women are still in play, but not nearly to the degree they were in previous years.
Take Holladay-based CHG Healthcare Services, for example.
One of the largest health care staffing companies in the country, finding a tie or skirt among its 800-plus employees on any given day could be virtually impossible. Most men wear jeans, flip-flops. Some wear T-shirts and ball caps, golf shirts or a long-sleeve casual shirt. For the women, there are plenty of denim jeans or shorts; sandals and causal tops abound.
While casual attire is quite the norm at CHG, the culture of the business is to foster a comfortable, positive work environment that breeds motivated employees who excel at their jobs.
"We don't put so much emphasis on dress codes," said Chad Beals, director of Talent Acquisition for CHG Healthcare. "We put emphasis on helping our people be successful."
He explained that people could express their individuality in their attire as long as their wardrobe was not offensive or too revealing.
In January, Fortune Magazine ranked CHG Healthcare Services No. 3 in its 2013 survey of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in America. The CHG family of companies employs 1,500 people nationwide, including 850 workers in Utah.
Among the reasons for that ranking was that the company takes seriously its mission to create an enjoyable and productive workplace for all of its employees, he said.
"Our focus is always on how is our culture going to be encouraging people to be their most successful," said CHG Healthcare public relations and content manager Eric Ethington.
While CHG Healthcare employees may dress more casually once they are hired, Beals acknowledged that a more traditional approach is expected for the job interview.
He said prospective employees should be dressed in usual business attire such as a suit when going through the interview process.
"You only have one chance to make a first impression," Beals said.
That sentiment was echoed in a recent survey from Office Team indicating that eight in 10 executives interviewed said clothing choices affect an employee's chances of earning a promotion.
For those who may be wardrobe-challenged the report stated that the good news was that proper attire might carry less weight than it did six years ago.
Ninety-three percent of executives surveyed in 2007 tied professional wear to advancement prospects. Among those respondents, a third said clothing significantly affected a person's chances of moving up the ladder, versus just 8 percent who feel this way today.
The survey was conducted based on interviews with more than 1,000 senior managers at companies with 20 or more employees.
Managers also were asked to recount the strangest outfits they have heard of or seen someone wearing to work, not including Halloween. Responses included a dinosaur costume, pajamas, a chicken suit, coveralls, a space suit and a wolf mask.
Among the more "inappropriate" workday wardrobes were "a see-through dress," fishnet stockings and stilettos, a bathing suit, a tube top, a muscle shirt, yoga pants and "very tight bike shorts."

Top goalies vs. dangerous shots
Should everyone be lauding Braden Holtby's performance?
It would have been highly unlikely to imagine that Braden Holtby would rank among the leading goalies through the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs. That's because the Washington Capitals' 22-year-old netminder didn't start a game this season until Feb. 13.
"Down the stretch we were out of playoffs at the time; we got beat in Chicago and Neuvy [Michal Neuvirth] got hurt and [Tomas] Vokoun was already hurt," Washington Capitals head coach Dale Hunter explained. "[Holtby] had to play in Detroit and in Philadelphia and took three out of the four points. [It] was huge for us to even be making the playoffs."
Holtby continues to be huge in the playoffs, stopping 18 of the 20 shots he faced in the Capitals' 3-2, Game 4 win on Saturday afternoon, tying the series at two games apiece. He has now gone 27 straight starts in the NHL -- including 11 in the playoffs -- without suffering back-to-back setbacks.
"Everyone is lauding Holtby," former Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau wrote in the L.A. Times, "but frankly the Rangers aren't getting a lot of chances." Is that just sour grapes, or is the former coach on target when he says Holtby is more sizzle than steak?

Two arrested for shooting during Nashua drug Deal
Police say that Danny Vorn, 22, of 42 N. Street in Lowell, Mass., was shot Jan. 9 outside of 6 Rochette Ave. during a drug transaction involving multiple pounds of marijuana.
According to authorities, Vorn's drug transaction went horribly wrong when two other people involved in the transaction -- both Nashua residents -- allegedly robbed Vorn at gunpoint.
"During the course of the robbery, the firearm was discharged and Vorn was shot in the back of the head," according to a press release.
Alexandre Amado, 20, of 15 Kessler Farm Dr., apt. 303, and Anthony Farmer, 20, of 5 Hartford Lane, apt. E., were arrested on Thursday and Friday, respectively, for the incident.
Police say that Amado "recklessly caused bodily injury to Danny Vorn … by discharging a firearm at the back of Danny Vorn's head, thereby causing traumatic brain injury," says court documents.
Amado has been charged with one count of second-degree assault for the shooting, a felony, and is being held on $100,000 cash bail. He was arraigned at the 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division, on Friday morning, and will be back in court on Jan. 27 for a probable cause hearing.
Farmer also was allegedly involved in the robbery and drug transaction, and was arrested Friday and charged with a felony count of armed robbery. He is being held at the Nashua Police Department, and will be arraigned on Tuesday, said police.
The Nashua Police Department's Crime Scene Unit has located two firearms in connection to the investigation.
Vorn remains hospitalized in critical condition at Boston Medical Center, according to authorities.

General NBA Forum Posters,
The following is the new General NBA Forum Policy that takes effect on September 4th.
The main points of the new policy are as follows with NO EXCEPTIONS
1st Violation= Warning
2nd Violation= Read-Only Access To General NBA Forum
3rd Violation= Complete General NBA Forum Ban
All violations will also come with a 12-hour Suspension so the user can cool down and be informed of the violation before posting further.
Everyone will start with Zero General NBA Forum warnings on September 4 and warnings will not count as a warning for any other forums.
- RealGM Three-day and Seven-Day Suspensions and Full Bans could apply depending on how many warnings a user has or how severe the violation was.
- The Following Violations will immediately result in Read-Only Access or a Complete General NBA Forum Ban
Racist, Insensitive and inappropriate Remarks
Personal Attacking A User(s) or Moderator(s)
Excessively Violating Forum Rules
Other Reforms To Improve The Forum
New User Waiting Period Restriction (Read-Only Access) Extended from 30 to 100 Days
Users who use Gifs or Pictures to bait users or derail discussion will be warned and could lose the right to post Pics and Gifs on the forum.
No Provoking Signatures or Avatars- If a user insists on having one that does this and does not want to take it down, Moderators have the right to request to have you get Read-Only Access.
Revokation of Ability To Start Threads- Users must look to see if there is already a thread for a particular topic before starting one. In cases of a breaking story and multiples threads are made within a few mins, that will be excused. Moderators have the right to lock those topics with a link to the appropriate thread to post in if there are multiple topics on the subject or ones that belong on another forum.
Should a thread be locked and a user ignore A Moderator's action and make a new one, they will lose their priviledge to start threads on the General NBA Forum and be given a warning. If users ignore the warnings, openly complains about it on the forum instead of in private or call out Moderators, they automatically get at least a read-only ban.
Users who lose the ability to start threads will be able to appeal to have this reinstated just like they would appeal a Read-Only Ban.
How Read-Only Access Works and How To Appeal
When a user gets Read-Only access, it means they can only read topics on the General NBA Forum and cannot post
In order for a user to regain full access, they will have to write a PM request to Howard Mass which will be reviewed by a committee that will consist of Howard Mass and some General NBA Forum Moderators.
In the request, the user must prove that they understand the violation they committed and explain how they plan to conduct themselves on the forum if given back full access.
Note: If any user with Read-Only Access gets another user to post their thoughts on any thread. That user will automatically get a full General NBA Forum ban and the user who assisted will receive a warning or Read-Only Access themselves depending on where they are on the three-strike scale.
It is possible that we will ask you follow up questions.
Myself and The Committee would then vote on the request. All requests will be decided on within 60 days.
If a majority approve, the user will be given back full access with the understanding the next warning is a full General NBA Forum Board Ban.
If a request is denied, the user will be able to appeal again in 60 days provided they have no other violations during this period anywhere on RealGM. If they do, the appeal date will be 60 days since the last violation occured outside of 60 days.
BTW: Before appealing, I suggest reading Mass Dispatch 3.0. for pointers
Other Notes
Many times users complain that they got in trouble while someone else did not. Myself and The General NBA Moderators put in a lot of effort to give everyone equal justice but sometimes we do not get everyone or the user has less warnings and is not eligible for a suspension. We handle discipline privately and will not comment on what the other user(s) got.
If you have an issue use the report function, don't insult the poster, don't complain to a mod when you get a warning for insulting a poster, just report it and we will deal with it.
Each user needs to only worry about their own actions.
Users who currently are Board Banned from our General NBA Forum have the right to reply and request read-only access but their appeal dates to attempt to regain full access are the same as before.

Just like the title says, I have it downloaded but I am unable to record games due to the client constantly crashing if it is opened. I'm not sure how I'm even supposed to record any games due to this problem, How do I fix this?

Not sure if the strategy forum is the best place for your question. Doesn't the LOL replay site have troubleshooting tips?
Junior Member
You can either uninstall/re-install and see if that fixes it or try right clicking the icon and "Run as Administrator"
Failing that working go to the LoL replay forums.
I thought LoL Replay was busted a long time ago. Your best bet is never to use it. Once I stopped, my crashes went away.
The problem with that though, I dont know how to get my replays recorded and I would like to watch them in order to start learning from my mistakes that I make

Mass. woman trapped 10 hours after wreck
YARMOUTH, Mass. Authorities say a woman may have been trapped inside her wrecked minivan nearly 10 hours after it crashed into a wooded area of Yarmouth.
The woman, 27-year-old Megan Lynn Haley, was extricated from the wrecked van about an hour after a man walking his dog reported seeing the wreckage just before 7 a.m. Thursday.
Fire Chief Michael Walker says she told rescuers that the last thing she remembers is driving at about 10 p.m. Wednesday. He said she was talking but not completely sure of where she was during the rescue.
She was flown to a Boston hospital.
After the crash she was unable to reach her phone. Temperatures dropped into the 20s overnight. Walker says once she was out of the car, firefighters covered her with blankets.
