additional readings, and a
transition guide to the new
edition.
Now in its fourth edition, this
book presents an argument that still
holds true: Despite assertions to the
contrary, neither economic theory
nor evidence shows that reliance
on market forces leads to superior
outcomes in healthcare systems.
Government plays a crucial role in
making the healthcare sector not
only more equitable but also more
efficient. Fully revised and updated,
this book reconsiders the field of
health economics as it is traditionally
taught and practiced. It critically
examines economic theory as applied
to the health sector and questions the
prevailing belief that a competitive
healthcare marketplace results in the
best outcomes.

PowerPoint slides and a lesson
plan for each chapter, answers
to the study questions, and
guides to the case studies.
This book provides the practical
guide that healthcare managers
need to simplify and strengthen the
decision-making process for everyday
issues. Written for those with little
or no background in economics, the
book is designed to engage readers
in today's policy and management
challenges. The author references
classic studies while also drawing on
current research and emphasizing
contemporary analyses. As the
purview of healthcare managers has
expanded significantly, this edition
has been updated to reflect their
evolving role. Featuring 17 new case
studies, the book incorporates recent
changes in health policy and research.

³ Instructor Resources:
PowerPoint slides,
spreadsheets, and case
discussion questions and
solutions.
Sound financial analysis and
decision-making require a thorough
comprehension of theory, plus the
insight and judgment that come from
experience. This book gives students
an opportunity to bridge the gap
between learning theoretical concepts
in the classroom and applying those
concepts in the real world. The
book's 32 case studies feature a
variety of healthcare settings, with
each case focusing on a single issue
related to a specific area of financial
management. The cases are supported
by an extensive array of ancillary
resources-for both instructors and
students-all substantially updated
and reorganized for this edition.
