Economics Of Health And Medical Care Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The Economics of Health and Medical Care is an introduction to population-based health economics as well as the traditional, market-oriented approach to health care economics. The book examines economics through the lens of descriptive, explanatory, and evaluative economics. The Sixth Edition is an extensive revision that refines its approach to evaluative economics by focusing on the tools and methods used to inform decision making, with a particular emphasis on determining alternative approaches to addressing a problem, issue, or decision and comparing the relative benefits and costs of those approaches. The Sixth Edition also offers: • Expanded material on health insurance, to incorporate more theory regarding insurance markets and also on the substantial implications that insurance has for efficiency in the health care industry. • New coverage of health care reform and its impact on different sectors of the economy and on different individuals in the system. • New coverage of other changes in health policy such as the implications of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act Instructor Resources: Instructors Manual, PowerPoint Slides, Test Bank, Transition Guide Student Resources: Companion Website

Having read many books on this topic, the latest 6 th edition of this book is one of the best in many aspects. I have no hesitation giving it an overwhelming five stars for the following reasons.The logical flow of this book is very rich in scholarly content albeit been a very simple read; it consists of ample illustrations with nice and clear graphs and generates great enthusiasm for the reader to continue reading without boredom or disdain.The layout is in a strikingly eye-pleasing easily readable font, in contrast to similar books that attempt to pack volumes into painfully small font. The book has an abundance of great subtitles.In addition an extensively sub categorized bibliography makes this book extremely reader-friendly for the discerning reader needing further exploration into index topic.The author was generous in including answers to the odd numbered questions in end-chapter exercises although I would have like to have seen answers to all the questions.In addition to well referencing the influence on current health reform throughout the book, the additional Chapter 18 titled "Evolving issues in health care" includes a very balanced and erudite discussion FREE of bias, prejudice and hyperbole on this topic.The supplied companion website access consists of numerous interactive and engaging learning resources which add further value to this excellent book.Last but not least, this book is priced very reasonably (nearly closer to 1/3 rd. the price on ), with a very comparable book titled Health Economics 6 th Edition by Rexford Santerre and Stephen Neun which costs a whopping 270 US $ ; this itself makes it a great bargain for the money.
Met needs for class. Easy to understand and supplemented understanding.
Some of the concepts were hard to understand.
Thank you!!! A+++++
