European Union (EU) patient mobility law creates destabilization rights: rights for citizens that would, if consistently applied, destabilize law, administration and finance for healthcare systems across the EU. This article focuses on the responses of the destabilized organizations and their efforts to restabilize their legal situation. We argue that it takes place through two decisions: a decision about whether or not to change procedures in response to the new right; and a decision about whether or not to lobby to circumscribe the new right. Our qualitative research in Germany and the UK found some differences in responses, but across the board the incumbent organizations and governments opted for very limited compliance and considerable  engagement in EU politics as their preferred strategy for responding to the new destabilization rights.

Hak destabilisasi dan politik restabilisasi: kebijakan dan reaksi politik terhadap Undang-undang Pelayanan Kesehatan Uni Eropa 
Undang-undang pemberdayaan pasien Uni Eropa (EU) ternyata menyebabkan munculnya hak destabilisasi. Hak destabilisasi adalah hak bagi masyarakat yang, bilamana dijalankan secara konsisten, yang mengganggu stabilitasi undang-undang/hukum, administrasi dan keuangan untuk sistem pelayanan kesehatan di seluruh wilayah Uni Eropa. Penelitian ini memfokuskan perhatian pada respon-respon organisasi yang mengalami destabilisasi dan usaha-usaha yang mereka tempuh guna mengembalikan stabilitas kedudukan hukum mereka. Peneliti berpendapat bahwa usaha pemulihan stabilitas dapat dilakukan berdasarkan dua jenis keputusan: keputusan tentang perlu atau tidaknya mengubah prosedur untuk merespon munculnya hak yang baru; dan keputusan tentang perlu atau tidaknya melakukan lobi untuk membatasi hak yang baru tersebut. Riset kualitatif yang peneliti lakukan di negara Jerman dan Inggris menghasilkan beberapa perbedaan respon, namun pada jajaran dewan organisasi dan pemerintah yang tengah memegang jabatan cenderung berprinsip pada ketentuan yang sangat terbatas dan keterlibatan secara mendalam di dalam politik Uni Eropa sebagai strategi yang mereka pilih untuk merespon munculnya hak destabilisasi.

Healthcare Waste in the United States Healthcare System

-
How America will pay for healthcare is a subject on the mind of virtually every American today. As Congress determines who will pick up the tab for this important and growing expense, it is worthwhile to take a close look at the cost of healthcare itself. Are there areas where expenses can be cut without undermining the quality of care provided? How prevalent are misuse, overuse, and fraud? This paper tackles the tangled issue of healthcare waste and arrives at some interesting, and perhaps even surprising, conclusions: America’s healthcare system is, indeed, hemorrhaging billions of dollars, and the opportunities to slow the fiscal bleeding are substantial. To organize the evidence supporting claims for the magnitude of waste in the healthcare system,we first suggest a set of categories of waste. For each category, there is a simple definition, a brief description of the examples, and references that allow us to make a reasonable assessment of total annual waste for each category. Ca

International Forestry LawReducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) and decentralized forest management

-
Authors: Irawan, S.; Tacconi, L The implementation of a mechanism for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD - plus) will be affected by governance conditions within host countries. The top eight countries, which are responsible for 70 percent of the world's total annual deforestation, have implemented certain forms of decentralization in public administration and forest management. This paper analyzes implications of decentralized forest management for the implementation of REDD. Three possible options for the involvement of local governments in the implementation of REDD are: 1) the central government decides on a national reference level and devolves the implementation to local governments; 2) the central government decides on a national reference level and seeks expressions of interest from local governments to implement REDD in their administrative areas; and 3) the central and local governments decide on a national reference level jointly and loc

A study of drinking water quality of PDAM

-
One of problems faced by community dealing with water services provided by the State-owned Water Company (PDAM) is inadequacy of the services in fulfilling household needs. Customers often complain because this limited volume of water they can use for daily activities, such the research found in a service quality analysis of drinking water provided by PDAM. The study on service quality may have its cornerstones on three main aspects: the quality, quantity, and continuity.  In case of drinking water quality at the observed location, one should relate it to the quality threshold under the Letter of Decree of the Minister of Health Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Kepmenkes RI, No.907/MENKES/SK/VII 2002, which has been applicable since July 28, 2002. In addition, there is also another technique of analysis to measure the water quality level by examining water debit, water pressure, and flow continuity. However, to deal with PDAM’s vision and mission, service quality analysis is lik
