Customer Reviews

Reliable text

My MBA program required this text. It was actually better than I expected. Very up to par with the current health dilemma. I liked the recommendations and predictions in this text and hope you also like it. The facts were interesting.

Delivering Health Care in America A Systems Approach

I took a summer class which used this book. It was interesting and very easy reading. If one works in the health field like I do, it reminded me of some issues and gave me other issues to think about. I would recommend it to a person who wanted a good overview of healthcare in the US, compared to other countries. The charts were easy to understand and the book was not full of charts and graphs that were unnecessary.

Delivering Health Care in America: A Systems Approach

I was very satisfied. Quick service and quality product.

The Best

I've seen a lot of health care texts and this one is by far the best book of its kind. Very current and thorough coverage of all aspects of health care delivery. This book really shows you how all of the components of the health care system fit together. The author has done a remarkable job and all students in health care and health administration need to read this book. KUDOS!!!!

Good introduction to the American health care system

The book is a good basic introduction to the American health care system. If you are doing advanced health policy research this book is not for you. If you are teaching a class for undergraduates (or are someone who wants to know about 'nuts and bolts' issues) this would be perfect. For what it does (basic intro), it does well but do not look for sophisticated analysis here.
