Study Ranks US Last on Healthcare

CD — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 20:25:17 +0000

A new comparative study on healthcare has ranked the US last behind six other industrialized countries. The Commonwealth Fund evaluated the US along with Britain, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand on “quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives.” The study says the US has the least equitable system, while ranking near the bottom in quality of services. The US system is also the most expensive, with Americans paying more than double for healthcare per capita than any other country on the list. The Netherlands ranked first overall. Noting the 15 percent of Americans who lack insurance, the study concludes, “The lower the performance score for equity, the lower the performance on other measures. This suggests that, when a country fails to meet the needs of the most vulnerable, it also fails to meet the needs of the average citizen.”

Earn PDUs for your PMP credential

CD — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:15:46 +0000

So this post is a little out of the ordinary in that I have never wrote about career development before. But there is always a first. So, do you have a PMP, PgMP or another PMI credential and you need to earn (cheaply) PDUs. Well, PMI offers a way that you can earn cheap PDUs $15 per PDU if you are a PMI member and $25 per PDU if you are not a PMI member. So what do you have to do?

By an article and quiz combo
Read the article
Take the quiz that is related to the article
Record your PDUs

It’s that simple folks. You read an article and take a quiz. You need a 70% or better for the PDUs to be awarded. But have no fear, you have 3 attempts to pass! And I must say if you passed the PMP exam this should be a piece of cake!

Go here and earn PDUs through PMI’s Publication Quizzes.
