Product Description
How do we understand and also assess the health care of America? Where is health care provided? What are the characteristics of those institutions which provide it? Over the short term, how are changes in health care provisions affecting the health of the population, the cost of care, and access to care?
Health Care Delivery in the United States, now in a thoroughly updated and revised 9th edition, discusses these and other core issues in the field. Under the editorship of Dr. Kovner and with the addition of Dr. James Knickman, Senior VP of Evaluation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, leading thinkers and practitioners in the field examine how medical knowledge creates new healthcare services. Emerging and recurrent issues from wide perspectives of health policy and public health are also discussed.
With an easy to understand format and a focus on the major core challenges of the delivery of health care, this is the textbook of choice for course work in health care, the reference for administrators and policy makers, and the standard for in-service training programs.

This was the first time I bought a text book on line vs going to our local school book store. I was worried about buying the wrong book, but it was the same book for much less. Thanks. I WILL be comming back to look for next semesters books.

I was required to buy this book for a masters level class, “Systems of Healthcare Delivery”. Although I had to read the book, it was everything that I could do to force myself to do it. This book is exactly what the critics of liberal bias and indoctrination are talking about when it comes to universities.

For members of the healthcare profession or a studious lay person. this provides a very good review of the current “nonsystem”. Gives pause about how current legislation could improve it for all citizens.
