Healthcare in the United States: Medical, Financial, and Operational Aspects gives an initial outlook on the American healthcare system by examining its diverse organizations, populations, professions, structures, financing, and delivery models, along with their impact. Authors Stephen L. Walston and Kenneth L. Johnson explore the various conflicting issues related to cost, accessibility, and quality. The book’s 14 chapters cover the following and more: a comprehensive review of the health professions and types of healthcare entities; an analysis of how healthcare providers are compensated; key challenges currently facing physicians, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical sector; an evaluation of the long-term and mental health spheres and the increasing demands for their services; the crucial role of the government in healthcare, including the influence of politics; the basics of public health, including a detailed examination of how changing social, demographic, and economic conditions in the United States impact healthcare; the links between health behaviors, health insurance, and health outcomes; the role of information technology in healthcare; a comparison of US healthcare to that in other nations, focusing on the four main models on which most healthcare systems are built. To enrich and evaluate students’ comprehension, each chapter features case studies, challenging questions and tasks, side notes, and key terms with explanations. As they progress, future healthcare managers and practitioners will gain a foundation in the multifaceted US healthcare system, enabling them to better address its numerous priorities, debates, and possibilities.
