The 11th edition of Jonas and Kovner's Health Care Delivery in the United States has been fully updated and revised and STAT!Ref has it available now.
Fundamentally, this new edition presents the realities that impact our nation's achievement of the so-called Triple Aim: better health and better care at a lower cost. It addresses challenges and responses to the Affordable Care Act, the implementation of Obamacare, and many new models of care designed to replace outmoded systems.
Contributions by leading scholars, practitioners, and educators within population health and medical care present the most up-to-date evidence-based information on health disparities, vulnerable populations, and immigrant health; nursing workforce challenges; new information technology; preventative medicine; emerging approaches to control health care costs, and much more.
Designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of health care management and administration and public health, the resource addresses all of the complex core issues surrounding our health care system in a strikingly readable and accessible format.
The 11th edition of Jonas and Kovner's Health Care Delivery in the United States features the writings of such luminaries as Michael Gusmanno, Carolyn Clancy, Joanne Spetz, Nirav Shah, Sherry Glied, Michael Sparer, and Christy LeMak, among others.
