Description
Can the United States learn from other health care systems? This is the question Francis D. Powell and Albert F. Wessen and their colleagues address in this new volume on comparative health care systems. Health Care Systems in Transition presents a framework for examining and comparing health care reform, as well as attempts in Germany, Canada, Sweden, and Great Britain to maximize their populations' health through efforts involving such factors as access to care, cost containment, and national payment programs. Health Care Systems in Transition will prove valuable for scholars, administrators, and students in health care policy, public health, health services administration and research, public administration, and political science.
