Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Printing. 372 Pages Indexed. The rapid rise of managed care in the United States has introduced new complexities into ethical dilemmas in health care by changing the traditional relationships among health plans, payers, providers, and patients. Through twenty case studies that provide snapshots of a wide range of ethical challenges, this book explores the goals, methods, and practices of managed care. Accompanying each case are questions for consideration and a pair of commentaries by prominent contributors from diverse fields. Through the cases and commentaries, this book clarifies the internal workings of managed care, explains relevant concepts, and offers practical, constructive guidance in addressing the ethical and policy issues. The cases address a broad spectrum of issues concerning rationing shared resources, financial incentives, quality of care, and responsibilities to patients, vulnerable populations, and the community. Specific topics range from coverage of emergency services through funding medical education to respecting patients' religious beliefs and caring for the seriously mentally ill. This casebook offers a wealth of in- sights into critical issues that affect the delivery of managed care in an increasingly competitive market. It will be invaluable for those managing the delivery and financing of health care and for students and practitioners of the health professions and health administration, as well as interested recipients of managed care. Contents in Six Parts: Rationing Shared Resources, Incentives to Contain Costs and Improve Quality, Quality Care in a Competitive Market, Responsibilities to Patients, Managed Care for Vulnerable Populations, and Responsibilities to the Community.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Does God exist? This straightforward question has spawned endless debate, ranging fromapologists' supposed proofs of God's existence to New Atheist manifestos declaring belief in God a harmful delusion. Losing Our Religion peels back the curtains on this debate and uses cutting-edge science to tell the story of how atheism arises and spreads in our uniquely religious species. It's undeniable that religion is a core tenet of human nature. It is also true that our overwhelmingly religious species is also as atheistic as it's ever been. Yet, no scientific understanding of religion is complete without accounting for those who actively do not believe. In this refreshing book, Will M. Gervais, Phd., a global leader in the psychological study of atheism, shows that the ubiquity of religious belief and the peculiarities of atheism are connected pieces in the puzzle of human nature. By examining how atheism comes to be in our religious species, Gervais offers new insights on belief and morality. Losing Our Religion provides a radically cohesive theory of both faith and atheism, showing how we became a uniquely and universally religious species, and why many are now abandoning their belief. Through a firsthand account of breakthroughs in the scientific study of atheism, including key findings from cognitive, developmental, and evolutionary psychology, this book forces a rethinking of the prevailing theories of religion and reminds both believers and atheists of the shared psychologies that set them on their distinct religious trajectories. Losing Our Religion tells us how we became religious, why we're leaving faith behind, and how we can get along with others across the religious divides we've culturally evolved.…
