The author references classic studies while also drawing on current research and
emphasizing contemporary analyses.

has been updated to reflect their evolving role. Featuring 17 new case studies,
the book incorporates recent changes in health policy and research, including

resources give students in the classroom the opportunity to tackle the kinds

economics of policy and management and provides future healthcare managers
with the strong foundation they'll need in this critical discipline.
