Description

Explore the complex realities of the United States medical system with this award-winning analysis from CRC Press. Selected by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration for the Bugbee-Falk Book Award, this text examines the paradox of a sector that accounts for one-fifth of the American economy while struggling with significant quality challenges. This book investigates why per capita spending in the US far exceeds that of other developed nations, even as health outcomes like life expectancy and infant mortality lag behind. Readers will gain insight into the financial burden placed on households and the systemic issues surrounding hospital-acquired infections. It provides a deep look at the tension between the massive economic growth of the health sector and the actual quality of care provided to citizens. This is an essential resource for those studying the economic and social impacts of modern healthcare delivery.
