Jonas and Kovner's Health Care Delivery in the United States
Thoroughly presents today's health care system, its administration and its dissemination.
An Introduction to the US Health Care System
Completely expanded and updated to account for the latest changes in the U.S. health care system, this best-selling text remains the most concise and balanced introduction to the domestic health care system. Like its predecessors, it provides an accessible overview of the basic components of the system: healthcare personnel, hospitals and other institutions, the federal government, financing and payment mechanisms, and managed care. Finally, it provides an insightful look at the prospects for health care reform. Steven Jonas, a revered expert in public health, has enlisted his colleagues, Drs. Raymond and Karen Goldsteen, to add their expertise in public health and health policy and management to this outstanding volume. All students of health care administration and policy, as well as practicing healthcare professionals who simply want a relatively brief overview of the system, will find it useful.
An Introduction to the U.S. Health Care System
Completely updated to reflect the continual changes in the U.S. health care delivery system, this bestselling text is a concise and balanced classic presenting the domestic health care system. It explains the five major components of the U.S. health care system: health care institutions, health care personnel, financing mechanisms, research and educational institutions that produce biomedical knowledge and health personnel, and firms producing "health commodities" (such as pharmaceutical drugs and hospital equipment).
The Corporate Transformation of Health Care
Geyman (emeritus, family medicine, U. of Washington) spent 13 years in rural practice before turning to academia. Over 30 years he watched control of the US health-care system shift from medical professionals and not-for-profit interests to a relatively small number of large health-care corporations, to the detriment, he believes, of the public interest. His analysis of the extent of the corporate transformation looks at its impacts on costs and on access to health care. He also considers options for reform given current political and economic realities. The intended audience is physicians and other health professionals, policy makers, legislators, business and labor groups, and citizen reform groups as well as consumers.
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice
This is the only text organized by risk factors - the same as those your patients present in the clinical setting. This valuable book reviews the recommendations from the newly revised U.S. Task Force 'Guide to Clinical Preventive Services' and provides step-by-step instructions on how to put prevention into your practice.
The Privatization of Human Services
No reader of professional journals, agency reports, or the daily press needs to be told that Professors Gibelman and Demone have assembled a vol ume of contributions to a very lively debate. The two words highlighted, "privatization" and "contracting," sum up the prescriptions of many for social service reform and the anxieties of others who question the new strategies. The pace and scale of developments over the past 2 decades sometimes allows us to forget that the subject has a long history. Privatization may be thought of as involving public turnover to the private sector of responsi bility for services it has been delivering. Or it may be the public sector arranging for the private sector to take on new services that the public wishes to encourage or for which it accepts responsibility. The transaction usually involves public funds. The historical story, however, is not one of public temporal primacy.

For most clinicians, the science and evidence for many integrative therapies is largely unknown or considered suspect. Most physicians don't have time to learn integrative approaches and aren't sure what to recommend or which approaches have merit or improved outcomes. In Integrative Preventive Medicine, clinicians have easy access to the best practices in integrative medicine and expectations for outcomes. The current state of the science is also presented.
