Essentials of Health Policy and Law helps readers understand the broad context of health policy and law, the essential policy and legal issues impacting and flowing out of the health care and public health systems, and the way health policies and laws are formulated. Important The digital edition of this book is missing some of the images or content found in the physical edition.
I used this textbook for a Health Policy and Politics doctorate course. It is very to the point and easy to understand. Great for use as a reference if you are interested in learning how health policy and politics works.
Having worked in politics in a previous life I didn’t reference this book much during my policy class other than quick skimming of chapters to make sure I knew what was on the quizzes , but it’s a great book for people unfamiliar with the topic to get foundational knowledge on the topics
Used for my Healthcare Policy & Law course during my first semester of my Health Informatics & Data Analytics Master's Degree program. Does a good job of explaining the two chambers of congress, the senate and the house. Learned a lot about policymaking.
