Fantastic Reference for Everyone in Health Care,
By Kip Piper "Medicare & Medicaid Consultant" (www.KipPiper.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slee's Health Care Terms, 4th Edition (Paperback)
The fourth edition of Slee's Health Care Terms is an outstanding reference. Health care has become too complex to live without this book on your office shelf. It provides thousands of clean and crisp definitions, each carefully constructed to get right to the point. Written by a physician and two attorneys, this comprehensive book is an essential desk reference for physicians, health care managers, nurses, and students.You may think you know the terms in your field and perhaps you do - but your field, whatever it may be, is just one part of the large world of health care. Management, finance, purchasing, quality, managed care - you name it the terms are covered. You probably have a nice dictionary and thesaurus in your home and your office. Well, if you are involved in the business of health care, you also need Slee's Health Care Terms.

. . .this is an essential aid . . .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Health Care Terms (Paperback)
If one's field touches on the medical profession, insurance, or any other area concerned with the bureaucracy. . .this is an essential aid in unraveling and clarifying-insofar as is possible-the verbiage that assails one from all sides.As reviewed by Laurence Urdang, in the Winter, 1997 (Vol. XXIII, No. 3) issue of VERBATIM, The Language Quarterly.
