Description
Twenty-two American academics contribute 20 chapters to an updated textbook for pharmacy students and their instructors offering a current picture of the social, organizational, and economic aspects of the U.S. health care delivery system, with an emphasis on the perspective of the pharmacy profession. The revised edition has been shortened by consolidating some chapters and deleting a chapter on ethics and a chapter on public health; the deleted chapters are available to instructors at the book's website. The remaining chapters have been reorganized to reflect how instructors are using the book in their courses, and the fourth edition also includes a new glossary.
