"This text is differentiated from the many other healthcare delivery texts available in that it gives equal attention to the parties that pay for health care, the parties that provide healthcare, and the parties that produce the products used in healthcare. To this end, the author weaves a common thread throughout every chapter in the book that the goals of healthcare relate to the the iron triangle(cost, quality, and access) and the triple aim (per capita cost, population, health, and patient experience)"-- Provided by publisher.
