Description
This casebook concentrates on the main issue dominating the health care industry today -- finance. Authors Wing, Jacobs, and Kuszler keep their discussion lively and relevant by introducing topics other books ignore, such as bioethics, antitrust, fraud and abuse, white collar crime in health law, and health care reform.
By treating health care as a regulated industry with strong social policy implications, "The Law and American Health Care" effectively conveys the necessary legal knowledge as well as the distinct professional character and tortuous history of the field. After an introductory chapter sets the stage, the authors confront today's hottest topics:
-- Health Care Financing: Who Pays for Health Care?
-- Health Care Facilities: Regulation, Reimbursement, and Cost Containment
-- Regulation and Reimbursement of Physicians and Other Individual Health Care Providers
-- Individual and Institutional Liability for Malpractice
-- Antitrust
-- Fraud and Abuse -- White Collar Crime in Health Care
-- Integrating Financing, Delivery, and Management of Health Care
-- Health Care Reform in the 1990s
A well-balanced mix of cases, problems, questions, and notes lead students through the material:
-- A generous selection of recent cases demonstrate the real-life consequences of issues under discussion
-- Problems stimulate class debate and can also be used on exams
Throughout the book, the authors highlight issues of underlying policy and actual practice in the field. The accompanying Teacher's Manual helps instructors choose material to meet individual course needs.
