Notes from OHO Disability Hearings


Book Description

In "Notes from OHO Disability Hearings", Dr. Alexandre Todorov draws on his own 30 years' experience as a Medical Expert in over 4,000 OHO Disability cases to help attorneys and non-attorneys develop more compelling, stronger Social Security Office of Hearing Operations (OHO) disability cases for their clients. “Notes from OHO Disability Hearings” gives the necessary legal and medical knowledge so these representatives can successfully represent claimants at the hearings. "Notes from OHO Disability Hearings" first presents the rules and regulations governing the OHO hearing process. The second section is a guide to the Listing of Impairments which details the medical criteria applicants must meet to receive disability. Vignettes from actual cases act serve as concrete examples of the disability severity required to grant relief to a claimant and each concludes with an assessment of the case and the rationale of the judge’s decision. Based on Dr. Todorov's professional experience as a medical expert, it is his contention that better mining of medical records will nearly double the approval rate of disability applications. The goal of the book is to help representatives better analyze the medical record and better present the facts to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).

Measurement, Design, and Analysis


Book Description

In textbooks and courses in statistics, substantive and measurement issues are rarely, if at all, considered. Similarly, textbooks and courses in measurement virtually ignore design and analytic questions, and research design textbooks and courses pay little attention to analytic and measurement issues. This fragmentary approach fosters a lack of appreciation of the interrelations and interdependencies among the various aspects of the research endeavor. Pedhazur and Schmelkin's goal is to help readers become proficient in these aspects of research and their interrelationships, and to use that information in a more integrated manner. The authors offer extensive commentaries on inputs and outputs of computer programs in the context of the topics presented. Both the organization of the book and the style of presentation allow for much flexibility in choice, sequence, and degree of sophistication with which topics are dealt.
