Health Services: Policy and Systems for Therapists - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

A core text for a one-quarter/semester, undergraduate/graduate-level course in Health Services (health policy and the health care system) and a complimentary text for courses in Administration/Management for PT/OT. Cutting-edge in focus, this introduction to health services prepares readers for the rapid and continuing changes in private and public health policy that have changed-and continue to change-the work environment for occupational therapists and physical therapists. Written specifically from the therapist's perspective, it explains the principles and major structures of health services-without overburdening students with the minutiae of these complicated programs-so they can understand how policies and systems affect their ability to serve patients and how they can be effective advocates during private and public policy change.
