This book redefines the term "comprehensive". It is thick, dense, and full of a lot of great information on health service organizations and health systems. Probably not the best choice for an introductory 500-level course, but good as a reference nonetheless.

This book is painful to read and an information overload. Although all relevant, be prepared to expand your knowledge. With 6ish pages of acronyms in the index be prepared to know and recognize these codes throughout the text. In regards to the book, it is difficult to keep pages open being that it is a hardcover. I am worried the binding will loosen eventually over time.

Arrived on time and in good condition as advertised.

Excellent, comprehensive look on the HSO/HS field. Two chapters in and thoroughly pleased.

Excellent book! Very detailed. It arrived fast and was in great condition for the class.

Great condition. Saved a lot of money.definitely the way to go for school books!
