Synopsis

"The authors have done an excellent job of compiling a diversity of health policy concepts and emerging issues in the policy arena all in 93 pages." Doody's 5 Star Review - Janice Phillips, PhD, Rush University Medical Center

Health Policy Management: a Case Study Approach provides a modern foundation to the study of health policy for nurses and healthcare professionals. Intuitively organized, each chapter commences with an overview introducing a unique topic that is subsequently explored throughout the chapter. Interdisciplinary case studies make this a truly comprehensive teaching resource for team-based environments. Coverage of relevant topics from multiple role perspectives allow students to critically analyze current health policy issues and propose solutions.

The hallmark feature of this text is the case study approach. Each chapter features real-life case studies representing diverse situations and experiences within the context of health policy, such as management, law, informatics, and additional topics across the healthcare spectrum. Authored by a wide variety of professionals, including administrators, lawyers, and physicians, these cases provide students with a practical and well-rounded study of health policy that can be applied in clinical practice.

Key Topics:
- Social determinants of health.
- Patient Protection Policies and Regulations.
- Health Care Quality and Safety.
