Author David Barton Smith Publisher World Scientific Pub Co Inc, 2009 ISBN 9812838376, 9789812838377 Length 250 pages Subjects Business & Economics / Information Management Medical / General Medical / Health Policy Medical / Public Health <http://books.google.com/books?id=ZCRqPgAACAAJ&dq= %22Forensic+Case+Files%22&ei=rh1bS5vhCYLmzAS7ns3dAw&cd=1> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/ydctp95>This book provides unique insights into the current heated healthcare reform debate in the United States and the expanding US$2 trillion industry that is the focus of public concern. The author's extensive experience as an educator, consultant, researcher and author of five well-received books on that system provides a unique resource of largely unreported cases to mine. These vivid case studies weave the history, richness and complexity of the problems faced by patients and service providers into fascinating Byzantine intrigues. They illustrate the underlying structural problems that have produced disparities in treatment, escalating costs, unsafe and inadequate care, the demoralization of the many decent and committed people who work within the system and passionate calls for reform.
<snip>Readership: Written to provide essential background for the general reader on the current health care reform debate, it should be required reading for health care professionals, health care managers, and health care policymakers. It will also serve as an essential supplementary text for upper-level undergraduate courses in health policy and for introductory graduate health systems management and policy courses for those planning to enter careers in the health sector.
