TRANSNATIONAL LAW PRACTICE Richard L. Abelt T RANSNATIONAL law practice has grown dramatically in recent years, but scholarship has not kept pace. This Article fills the void in three different, yet related, ways. The first section seeks to explain the patterns of transnational law practice that have emerged in recent decades. The second describes the constraints on transnational practice, especially those imposed by national and supranational regulation. I conclude with proposals about how lawyers, professional organizations, and governments should regulate transnational law practice. Since there is no comprehensive account of the growth of transnational law practice, I have appended one, drawn from a wide variety of sources, including Martindale-Hubbell, the International Financial Law Review, and Business Lawyer,' as well as a dozen interviews with lawyers in t Professor, U.C.L.A.

  • Problems and Countermeasures in the Network Construction of Private Hospital Shuchen Liu Southeast University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, 211189 [email protected]
    International Conference on Economics, Social Science, Arts, Education and Management Engineering (ESSAEME 2015) Problems and Countermeasures in the Network Construction of Private Hospital Shuchen Liu Southeast University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, 211189 [email protected] Keywords: Network construction, Civilian-run hospital private hospital, Problems , Countermeas- ures. Abstract. Network construction does not constitute a difficulty in public hospitals in China. But it is a headache for the civilian -run hospitals. Compared with the governmental hospital, the civilian- run hospital is in a disadvantageous position in finance, technology and talents. Due to the compre- hensive disadvantages, the network construction in civilian-run hospital also falls behind that of governmental hospital. This paper analyzes the problems of network construction in private hospital and puts forward the corresponding measures in order to provide some references for the related researches. Concept of Private Hospital Civilian-run hospitals are the medical institutions that are funded by social capital and approved by the administrative department of public health. The biggest characteristic of civilian-run hospital is self-supporting, self-management, self-development and self-perfection. This kind of hospital be- longs to private hospitals in foreign countries. At present, China's civilian-run hospitals are basically equivalent to private hospitals, so it is also known as private hospitals for civilian-run hospitals. China has made many policies to encourage and support social capital to enter the medical field, and promote the diversification of investment subjects in medical institutions, and provide the basic guarantee for the development of private hospitals at the policy level. But there are still many prob- lems in private hospitals, such as: the degree of social credibility needs to be further improved, the medical personnel should be strengthened, the regulations need to be perfected, and the fund is gen- erally insufficient.

  • Hospital Networking Guide a Practical Guide to Optimizing the Care Pathway for Hospitals by Developing an Ideal Network Infrastructure
    Hospital Networking Guide A practical guide to optimizing the care pathway for hospitals by developing an ideal network infrastructure Brochure One private network for every department, delivered on a single network infrastructure. A hospital’s network is the foundation for the critical applications that run on it, where most of those applications are related to the hospitals core businesses. The return on the investments made in EMR (electronic medical records), PACS (picture archiving and communication system), clinical imaging systems and workstations on wheels, can only be truly realized if those assets are always available to the people in need in a reliable, secure and highly optimized way, at a ixed location, or while mobile. In addition, the hospital’s network is under constant pressure from new requirements driven by emerging technologies and digital social behavior. Clinicians are in need of access to information on their personal mobile devices, such as smart phones D D D and tablets, while patients and visitors demand Internet connectivity for social networking and entertainment.
