Abstract:	As the second offering in the Jones & Bartlett Learning Health Navigation Series, this text provides a broad, fundamental introduction to the workings of the healthcare industry and the role a health navigator plays in the system. Engaging and activities-oriented, Navigating the U.S. Health Care System offers an accessible overview of the major concepts of healthcare operations, the role of government, public and private financing, as well as ethical and legal issues. Unlike other introductory U.S. health care systems and delivery texts, Navigating the U.S. Health Care System offers specific strategies on how to be a successful healthcare navigator as well as more detailed information on the delivery of both inpatient and outpatient health care services. Each chapter features review exercises and internet resources that make studying this complex industry both enjoyable and stimulating. Perfect for those pursuing a career as a community health care worker, health navigator, or patient navigator, students will discover a practical guide that prepares them for professional opportunities in this rapidly growing sector.
