Social equity is a pillar of public administration (PA), yet its actualization remains elusive. The path forward to closing persistent social equity gaps requires the utilization of quantitative intersectionality in PA. This article explores the literature related to quantitative intersectionality and the imperative for use in the scholarship and practices of PA. To exemplify this concept in practice, we present a case study examining Vocational Rehabilitation performance data reports. Findings illustrate how quantitative intersectionality provides an opportunity to unpack overlapping identities for people with disabilities whose individual characteristics include historically oppressed race/ethnicity and gender identities. Findings assert the imperative for using quantitative intersectionality to achieve social equity for all.

This analysis confirms the utility of economic modeling in assessing new stent platforms. TAXUS Liberté 2.25 mm is economically dominant relative to TAXUS Express when treating small vessels. TAXUS Liberté Long is cost neutral to modestly more costly than TAXUS Express 2.25 mm from a payer perspective.

that there is no postoperative advantage of adding a pre-operative genito-femoral nerve block [3]. At Medway Maritime hospital, three main analgesic techniques tend to be used: Ilioinguinal/ Iliohypogastric (IG/IH) + direct intra-operative block of the genital branch of the genito-femoral nerve (GF), caudal analgesia with clonidine and local infiltration with intra-operative morphine. Our aim was to perform a pilot study to look at the effectiveness of these three analgesic techniques. Primary aim Assess post-operative pain requirements of the three different analgesic methods used at Medway Maritime hospital in paediatric surgery patients undergoing inguino-scrotal surgery. Secondary aim Assess whether there were any differences between these methods in rates of post-operative complications, including time before spontaneous leg movement, micturition, rates of nausea and vomiting and time to discharge.
