Essentials of Health Services

the textbook I ordered was delivered quickly and in excellent condition. I couldn't ask for more.

Excellent

This book was good even though it was used. Many of my friends were surprised to see that a used book was in good condition. Thanks for the order.

GREAT BOOK!

This book has a ton of information on the essentials of health care. Stuff like the difference between HMO, PPO, and POS. It also has some very informative graphs. It is divided in three parts (1) An Overview of Health Care in the United States, (2) The Resourses for Providing Care, and (3) Paying for, Managing, controlling, and Evaluating the System. All in all I give it 5 stars.

A good overview of Today's Health Services

This book provides an easy to read compilation of the important factors that influence today's health care services. It compares national and international health care systems. Emphasis is placed on health care economics. Health care for designated populations such as ambulatory clients, long term care clients & mental health clients is addressed. There is a strong chapter on health care policy and heatlh care planning.
