Economics for Healthcare Managers by Robert H. Lee Pdf

Many changes are under way in healthcare as a result of both the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and insurers' ability to discern between efficient and inefficient healthcare providers. With more emphasis being placed on exceptional value for customers, healthcare managers must have a solid understanding of economics to lead them through these turbulent times. In this new edition, the author examines efforts to control costs, many of which are being implemented by private insurers--while addressing initiatives such as population health and improved patient experiences in care. This text can serve as a practical guide for future healthcare managers to help simplify and improve decision making when faced with everyday issues, such as market demand, profitability, risk,and regulations. This edition presents cases and contemporary research in economics that highlight the changes in healthcare over the past decade. --

In succinct, accessible-at times even delightful- prose, he has expressed so many of our concerns about what sometimes passes for 'conventional' health economics." - Gavin Mooney, Ph.D., Professor of Health Economics, University of Sydney, Australia.

macroeconomics for managers This book by Michael Evans provides an excellent introduction to understanding the impact of the macroeconomy on a business. It is well written and makes the subject matter accessible to MBA and college students, managers, and interested laymen. This book belongs on every business bookshelf. Raj Aggarwal, Kent State University This text offers business managers and business school students an excellent practical explanation of the short-term linkages that impact the performance of the overall economy.

Building on this foundation it then analyzes the following aspects of macroeconomics: aggregate supply and demand, international financial markets, cyclical fluctuations, policy analysis, and forecasting. Engaging the reader through many features, the text includes detailed case studies and “Manager’s Briefcase” discussions, which provide practical applications of macroeconomic concepts to real-world situations.

The Economics of Health Reconsidered, Fifth Edition by Lynn Unruh, PhD,Andrew J Barnes, PhD,Thomas Rice, PhD Pdf

The fifth edition of The Economics of Health Reconsidered continues to challenge the reliance on market forces to address health policy issues, and it argues instead for the value of government intervention. By critically examining economic theory as applied to the healthcare sector, the authors encourage readers to question the assumptions on which the perceived success of the competitive-healthcare-market model is based. This updated text focuses on how the unique characteristics of healthcare challenge the effectiveness of traditional economic remedies. Chapters explore demand and supply, equity, expenditures, and economic evaluations. This edition's updates include new chapters on: - Social determinants of health that explores the effects of education, income, gender, sexual- and gender-minority identities, early childhood experiences, neighborhood effects, and race/ethnicity on demand for health - Behavioral economics, including how decision making compares to the view assumed by the traditional economic framework The book illustrates how the government plays a crucial role in making the healthcare sector not only more equitable but also more efficient.
