Healthcare executives are often inundated with information, yet they frequently
lack the crucial data needed to make sound decisions. The study of economics
provides a road map for focusing on relevant information and weighing advantages
and costs to achieve the greatest net benefit.
Economics for Healthcare Managers presents fundamental economic concepts and
applies them to current policy and management challenges. It uses straightforward
explanations and real-life examples to make economics understandable and
practical. The topics it addresses reflect the challenges faced by healthcare
managers, such as market demand, profitability, risk, and regulations.
This thoroughly updated edition includes the latest research and data and addresses
the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also new in this fifth edition are the
following subjects:
* An in-depth examination of the effects of the Affordable Care Act
* Three new cases that explore efforts to improve population health
* Streamlined discussion of elasticities, with a focus on their use in forecasting
* Expanded coverage of risk management
