Klappentext zu „Epidemiology and the Delivery of Health Care Services “
As the obesity epidemic widens to all age groups and nations, chronic conditions increase in frequency, and populations grow in number, the costs of treatment will exhaust future health care resources. The only alternative is population-based m- agement emphasizing prevention, health promotion, and environmental modifi- tions. Dissemination of information on risk factors derived from epidemiologic studies to evoke individual, community, and policy change is a strategy in suppo- ing this approach. Complementing this needs to be health care services based upon the knowledge and application of epidemiologic concepts and methods to achieve control of existing and emerging health problems given resource constraints and ethical considerations. While some of these health problems and their consequences are predictable and generally addressed by health systems, health care services need to address unpredictable exposures and events as well. Epidemiology also provides a framework for planning health services for unpredictable events such as natural and man-made disasters. This text focuses on the unique application of epidemiology to health care m- agement practice, regardless of the setting of that practice. This emerging discipline termed is "managerial epidemiology. " Managerial epidemiology draws from the traditional disciplines of public health, epidemiology, and health care management for improving the health of populations, be those in communities or served by health plans or systems.
This completely revised and updated edition of an outstanding text enables students and health care systems managers to keep pace with the explosion of information currently available in the field, stressing its importance for epidemiology. It addresses the fundamental knowledge of epidemiological methods and statistics that can be applied to evolving systems, programs, technologies, and policies. Epidemiology and Delivery of Health Care Services examines the complex challenges that health care managers face in furnishing high-technology health services; services in response to environmental threats; and in managing clinical research enterprises and provides the necessary new tools for decision making in these areas. Offering insights into epidemiological applications both globally and locally, this new edition

From the reviews of the third edition:"Health care managers as well as epidemiologists, whether classic or "non-classic" will find this book a valuable addition to their reference shelf. " (American Journal of Epidemiology, 155:6 (2002) "This book illustrates the importance and utility of epidemiologic principles and methods in understanding how healthcare delivery can affect population health. ... The intended audience includes graduate students in healthcare administration, nursing, public health, health information management, and related fields. ... This book also would be a good resource for currently practicing healthcare administrators. ... a valuable resource for graduate students and healthcare administrators. ... I would consider using this book in a course intended for students in MPH or MHA programs ... ." (Mary E. Charlton, Doody's Review Service, March, 2010) "...Epidemiology and Delivery of Health Care [is for] health care managers, who can use epidmeliologic methods to reduce errors in clincal care and acheive population-wide health improvements. After studying the text, mmanagers can expect to converse more intelligently with epidemiologists-asking for the analysis that they need, understanding the data betterm and recognizing the limitations of epidemiologic studies. Clinicians who read the book are likely to develop a new respect for a science that may have left them dozing the first time around."
