4.0 out of 5 stars A good overview of Today's Health Services, March 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Essentials of Health Services (Delmar Series in Health Services Administration) (Paperback)

This book provides an easy to read compilation of the important factors that influence today's health care services. It compares national and international health care systems. Emphasis is placed on health care economics. Health care for designated populations such as ambulatory clients, long term care clients & mental health clients is addressed. There is a strong chapter on health care policy and heatlh care planning.

This review is from: Essentials of Health Services (Delmar Series in Health Services Administration) (Paperback)

For a very small book containing 191 pages, the price was way out of line.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!, January 31, 2002

Jacob Hantla "hantla.com" (Chandler, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Essentials of Health Services (Paperback)

This book has a ton of information on the essentials of health care. Stuff like the difference between HMO, PPO, and POS. It also has some very informative graphs. It is divided in three parts (1) An Overview of Health Care in the United States, (2) The Resourses for Providing Care, and (3) Paying for, Managing, controlling, and Evaluating the System. All in all I give it 5 stars.
