A Market Opportunities Analysis for a One-Stop Clinic

One-stop clinics are an innovative approach to an integrated ambulatory care system using a value-based reimbursement system. This study assessed the local market opportunities of a one-stop clinic by investigating patient shopping behavior. Results indicate that the elderly and women are more likely to have one-stop visits. Primary care, imaging, and lab services were most frequently visited combination in one-stop visits. Age and gender were significantly associated with one-stop shopping behavior; self-pay patients were less likely to have one-stop visits, compared to Medicare patients. There are no significant differences between patients with commercial insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare. Missing appointments behavior is investigated as well. The results reveal that the elderly and women were more likely to miss an appointment; self-pay patients were nearly 28 times more likely to miss an appointment compared to Medicare patients. We conclude that there is a local market for a one-stop clinic

COVID-19 Media Narratives in the Era of Hyperreality: A Paradigmatic Analysis of Polarized Media Content

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the media has operated as the filter through which information has been disseminated to the masses. The role of the media is often overlooked due to the presupposition of communicative rationality (Bohman and Rehg, 2007) wherein the media acts a neutral medium to transmit information to guide the masses toward the most rational course of action. This has created echo-chambers have formed around liberal and conservative media outlets, leading to widely different responses among liberals and conservative with respect to the guidelines and procedures recommended by public health experts. This research project intervenes into the existing literature on political polarization in the media by positing the polarization to be a result of a failure to understand the media as a communicative medium. Using Jean Baudrillard’s (1995) theory of simulacra and hyperreality, which posit media representations to no longer have reference to an objective reality, this project understands the media to operate through the production of easily consumable narratives which entrench political echo chambers. That begs the questions: what narratives are produced? How are those narratives produced? And what purpose does the production of those narratives serve? This project aims to resolve this questions through a paradigmatic analysis of media texts from outlets across the ideological spectrum. In doing so, I believe Jean Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality will be validated by exemplifying the fragmented nature of the media’s interpretations of reality.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1060/thumbnail.jp

Historiographic Perspectives of Context and Progress During a Half Century of Progressive Educational Reform

In many ways, the historiography of progressive education parallels American historiography as well as the historiography of education. This comes as no surprise when we realize the American Historical Association (AHA) has played a major role in the professional foundations of both. While early twentieth century historians emphasized national unity, homogeneity, and the importance of America\u27s destiny, historians of education, mostly educators, produced inspiring histories that sought to ennoble the new profession of teaching. However academic arguments of relevance, presentism, and utility came to haunt both historical traditions. Academic historians debated the value of presentism while, educators debated the relative merit of functional and non-functional scholarship. The 1930s represented a watershed as the Depression created fertile ground for the functionalists in departments of education and progressive historians with a sense of the present in the AHA (Appleby, Hunt, & Jacob, 1994; Breisach, 1983; Cohen, 1976). The two traditions came together in the thirties for the common purpose of outlining a reconstructed program for social studies education in the schools (Bowers, 1969; Kliebard, 1987). Yet their paths once again diverged. Bernard Bailyn (1960), in the name of professional historians, charged educators were propagating a narrow view of history, and education historians such as Ellwood Cubberley were guilty of using history to promote the glories of the education profession. Bailyn urged historians to think of education not only as formal pedagogy but as the entire process by which a culture transmits itself across the generations (p. 14). Lawrence Cremin amplified Bailyn\u27s position in The Wonderful World of Ellwood Patterson Cubberley (1965). Together these invited the attention of educational historians to what Diane Ravitch (1978) refers to as the Bailyn-Cremin critique

Threadline

A thread is made up of filaments, twisting together, entangled within and upon one another. Threads swirl in collaboration, forming a connection larger than themselves. They tie together larger things, gripping and holding. A thread on a screw catches on to pieces of wood or thick substances to bind a large structure into a whole. A thread can describe a small stream, a body of water that is small and wiggly. Threads move on, persuaded by gravity, to form larger beings by lumping together with other threads to merge into a body of water. It is often believed that there is a separation between the human and natural, working as independent systems without interference. But, as we create and build, our inventions end up tangled with the natural world. Buildings, roads, chemicals, noise, and light creep over the earth\u27s surface. Human and nature\u27s growth continue to cross over, weaving together. Both systems are fighting for space and survival. This world that I have built—the organic skeletons, decaying buckets, orange lines—imagines this struggle between human and nature. Suspended above a rusty and crystallized landscape, the sapling structures are dependent on artificial support systems to keep them in existence. If they fell, they would tumble into a pile of bones, becoming remains. The buckets rely on the structures to give them purpose, acting as counterweights and recirculating systems. The buckets each are workers, laboring over different tasks. Over time, the rust and salt crystallization marks time passing. Each day, new decay forms as buckets move and splash, progressing towards entanglement. They mark the space with their decay
