This innovative book analyzes current U.S. health policy and proposes various alternatives for developing future health policy. Unlike other texts on the subject, it does not attempt to push a single solution set. Rather, it takes the perspectives of a variety of disciplines including economics, political science, management, communications, and public health. The authors also draw on the experiences of health policies in other countries including Canada and European nations. Organized into three sections, Health Policy Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach addresses the context of U.S. health policy, the policy analysis process, and professional response. The first section explores the current issues with the system and its history and then reviews the alternatives for future policy that have strong support. The second section identifies the issues and reviews the political processes that influence planning in various healthcare settings. It presents the accepted methods of economic and financial analysis and addresses the ethical and other value considerations that must enter into the health policy process. The final section deals with the roles, skills, and leadership that health professionals can bring to the policy making process in their local and national communities.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Typical textbook wordswamp to wallow through,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Health Policy Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Paperback)
Aftr 4 1/2 years of college and grad school, I found this book about average in quality. It has a totally inadequate and amateurishly built Index with topics rarely revealed making review almost page by page. If this is your required text as it is in the Ashford U MHA program, you will be required to supplement it with outside research a lot.
The wording and explanations and case studies are good, and followups good. The Index is the worst part of it and the onine colloege discussions often need you to access data very succinctly, so if you are a through reader and the small print doesnt dismay you , you are ok.

This review is from: Health Policy Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Paperback)
This is a required book for my daughter's health class that was not offered at the KSU bookstore in Kent, Oh. We had to purchase it online.
