Health Questionnaires

article by Reisinger and Bires entitled "Anticipatory Guidance in Pediatric Practice"1 and Hoekelman's commmentary, "Got a Minute,"2 in the December 1980 issue of Pediatrics offer a challenge to the practi perician. The real issue may be whether or not time at a specific visit is an appropriate parameter for measuring anticipatory guidance. Does every patient require anticipatory guidance at every visit? Perhaps one should consider well-child visits as rituals that afford pediatricians an opportunity to assess the need for anticipatory guidance and offer it when indicated. There are numerous methods of rapidly assessing patients' needs. These include measurements of height, weight, and head circumference plotted on growth charts; health questionnaires that include review of systems, emotional problems, and school performance; and developmental lag check lists such as the Denver Prescreening Developmental Questionnaires.

The Status

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has, on various occasions, concluded treaties on behalf of its Member States. This raises some interesting questions: is ASEAN entitled to enter into treaties on behalf of its Member States; and if so, what should be the status of ASEAN and its Member States vis-à-vis the other party to the treaty? The issue is not one of whether the ASEAN Member States have consented to such a practice—it must be assumed that they have. Instead, the real issue is whether such treaty-making practice can and should be valid under international law, even if the Member States have consented for ASEAN to conclude these treaties on their behalf. This paper will argue that, under international law, ASEAN is entitled to conclude treaties on behalf of its Member States.

Aramaic Dialects

Nearly six years ago, G. E. Driver published a paper in the Journal of Biblical Literature, in which he examined some of the arguments dealing with the Aramaic of the Book of Daniel, which had been presented by Charles Boutflower in his work In and Around the Booh of Daniel. Three years later, in the course of an examination of the relation of Biblical Aramaic to other early Aramaic dialects, I took the opportunity of replying to a number of inaccurate or misleading statements and untenable hypotheses on the subject of the Aramaic of Daniel which appeared in the writings of certam defenders of the traditional date and place of origin of that book, including Boutflower. A rejoinder has now appeared from Boutflower's pen, dealing with a limited area of the field, in the form of a brief monograph, published under the title, Dadda-'idri, or The Aramaic of the Booh of Daniel. In this little book Boutflower replies to Driver and myself, and presents what he feels to be new light on the subject. A superficial reading might leave the impression that there was some ground for his theory, but a little examination reveals such omissions and assumptions and such misuse of evidence as to vitiate the argument. Indeed, the real issue is that of the validity of the evidence we possess, for fundamentally Boutflower seeks to set aside the evidence that has survived in favour of the evidence he assumes to have perished.

Real Issue

The problem of rising costs of medical care has been attacked by two general methods: increased efficiency with business-like methods ("economies of scale," "managing the enterprise," etc.), and reducing use of the most expensive services-excessive hospitalization and laboratory tests—by utilization review. The second approach is more likely to be useful but still misses the real issue, i.e., how effective is what we do in medicine. As Drucker says, "It is effectiveness and not efficiency which the service institutions lack. Effectiveness can not be obtained by business-like behavior as the term is understood." If we could only set objectives, then determine how effectively we achieve them and concentrate our efforts in those areas where effectiveness has been demonstrated, we would have less emphasis on efficiency in health care.
