Health Policy Issues: An Economic Perspective illuminates the intersection of
economics and policy-helping readers gain a better understanding of the everchanging
and multifaceted healthcare delivery system. Designed for healthcare
management students, clinical students, and managers new to healthcare, readers
will appreciate this classic text's comprehensive guidance for understanding each
policy issue the authors explore. The book's 38 chapters discuss major health
policies issues, applying basic economic concepts. Covering a much greater
number of health policies than other titles, the book's structure gives instructors
flexibility in determining which specific policies to cover within a course.
This thoroughly revised edition features updated data, exhibits, and references.
A new chapter titled " Comparative Health Systems " offers an overview of six
European countries and the United States and illustrates the differences in health
systems. Questions addressed in this chapter include:
* Are European health systems better than ours?
* How do they control rising medical and pharmaceutical costs?
* How do they compare on medical outcomes and medical resources to care for
their patients?
