The COVID-19 pandemic threw the world into turmoil and exposed a cascade
of vulnerabilities. One of the many lessons learned from this pandemic is that
epidemiological principles must be applied to manage healthcare services and
control disease in populations.

Two new chapters on population health and confounding, bias, and effect
modification
New cases focused on relevant healthcare management issues, such as health

The book's case studies are presented in three levels. In-chapter cases and answer
guides form an integral component of the book's learning process. End-ofchapter cases provide additional exercises for practical application, with answers
supplied at the back of the book so that students can self-quiz. In the book's
final section, in-depth capstone cases offer an opportunity for reviewing and
synthesizing material from specific chapters.
Today more than ever, healthcare administrators must use the information
provided by epidemiological methods to optimally manage interventions,
treatments, and healthcare services that affect the health of populations.
