Managerial Epidemiology for Health Care Organizations provides readers with a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the application of epidemiological principles to the delivery of health care services and management of health care organizations. As health administration becomes evidence- and population-based, it becomes critical to understand the impact of disease on populations of people in a service area. This book also addresses the need of health organizations’ to demonstrate emergency preparedness and respond to bioterrorism threats. A follow-up to the standard text in the field, this book introduces core epidemiology principles and clearly illustrates their essential applications in planning, evaluating, and managing health care for populations. This book demonstrates how health care executives can incorporate the practice of epidemiology into their various management functions and is rich with current examples, concepts, and case studies that reinforce the essential theories, methods, and applications of managerial epidemiology.

Review
"The most comprehensive, lucid, focused, and relevant textbook of applied epidemiology for health system managers written to date. Fos and Fine have produced a volume useful as both a textbook and a reference for the student or practioner, public or private. It should be in every health manager's library."(James Banta, adjunct professor, The George Washington University) (James Banta, adjunct professor, The George Washington University)
"...an enjoyable and readable primer on epidemiology....The authors, both of whom have outstanding credentials and experience in this area, should be credited with an excellent, basic textbook..." (Doody Publishing, Inc.) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From the Inside Flap
A Key Resource for Health Care Professionals for Harnessing the Power of Population Health ManagementIn clear, easy-to-understand terms, Designing Health Care for Populations reveals how the science of epidemiology—the study of the causes, distribution, and control of disease in a population—can be implemented to lead all health care organizations. The authors, experts in health care management, decision science, and epidemiology, offer health care managers an essential resource for understanding the common bond between clinical medicine and the management of health care facilities. The book is filled with step-by-step guidelines for applying the discipline of epidemiology to the full spectrum of management operations. Tapping into the knowledge, information, and guidelines in this book, health care professionals can learn to apply the principles of managerial epidemiology to help them achieve clinical improvement, integrate health care services, organize providers into networks, and evaluate and document organizational quality.
