| Discipline: | Medical Prof | | Subject Definition: | Health Services; Education, Medical; National Health Program | | NLM Class: | W 84 | | LC Class: | RA418.3 | | Abstract: | Provides a diverse, multi-faceted approach to health care evaluation and management This book offers a comprehensive introduction and resource for understanding healthcare management in the United States. It does so by bringing together the many moving parts of this large and varied system to provide both a birds-eye view and relevant details of the complex mechanisms at work. By focusing on stakeholders and their interests, this book analyzes the systems effectiveness, efficiency, and stability, highlighting the real-world impact of decisions made at all levels. The U.S. Health Care System: Origins, Organization and Opportunities begins with a presentation of frameworks for understanding the structures and stakeholder inter-relationships of healthcare systems. The topical chapters that follow begin with their societal and historical origins, so the reader can fully appreciate how our healthcare system evolved. The next sections on each topic describe the current states and opportunities for improvement. Throughout, the learning objectives focus on three areas: frameworks for understanding issues, essential factual knowledge, and resources to keep the reader keep up to date as the field evolves. Since healthcare is a rapidly evolving field, due to the regulatory and business environments as much as the advance of science, online updates are provided to chapters at the website: www.HealthcareInsights.MD. This website also provides teaching notes and class discussion suggestions for instructors who use this text as well as a weekday blog of important/interesting news developments. The U.S. Health Care System: Origins, Organization and Opportunities is an ideal textbook for healthcare courses in MBA, MPH, MHA, and public policy programs. In piloting the content, the author used drafts of chapters in his Healthcare Systems course for MBA and MPH students at Northwestern University. The book is also useful for suppliers, payers and providers who work across the healthcare field and want a wider or deeper understanding of the entire system. |
