More DescriptionThis invaluable text addresses the social organizational approach to education in present day academic health centers. The many changes in the provision of health services that are a result of the reallocation of government resources are discussed. Recommendations for health care policy, practice, and the education of health care professionals and consumers are presented. Students in health care professions will benefit from this extensive evaluation of the changing health care environment and its implications for both providers and consumers. Professors and educators will find this insightful volume helpful in assisting students in health care services to assess the present relationship between administrators and patients and the changes that must be instigated in order to offer affordable, quality delivery of health services.
This significant volume provides guidance for such vital problems as determining which social-health issues are most critical today, what changes result from government policies on consumers and providers, and what our social-health policies, services, research, and educational directions should be for the future. Students in the health care professions at the college level, doctors, health care administrators and educators, social workers, nurses, medical sociologists, and economists will value The Changing Context of Social Health Care as a key to understanding how the relationship between health care providers and consumers must be carefully developed to provide quality health care for future generations.
