Description

"[A]n excellent introductory text for the study of this subject, and medical students, residents, and graduate students in public health, allied health sciences, or social services will find it a thorough yet engaging grounding in the field. Professionals already practicing in health care delivery, health services research, or health policy will find this a handy and up-to-date reference with encyclopedic breadth but only basic analysis. Both groups will find ample resources for continuing education and will likely return to this text for quick reference for years to come." S. Ryan Greysen , MD JAMA This classic text, now in a completely updated and revised 10th edition, meticulously examines the critical issues and dilemmas surrounding our health care system via a team of leading thinkers and practitioners, who provide an objective assessment of how medical knowledge creates new health care services, and of emerging and recurrent issues from the wide perspectives of health policy and public health. With an easy to understand format and a focus on the major core challenges of the delivery of health care, this enduring text will provide a wealth of information for course work in health care and serve as a reference for administrators and policy makers and as a prototype for in-service training programs.
