Updated and thoroughly revised, the second edition of this
foundational text continues to cover all major topics of
organization, financing, workforce, goals, initiatives,
accountability, and metrics from the perspectives of academicians
and officials in public health. This second edition is the only
public health text to encompass the new legislation implemented by
the Affordable Care Act, with its focus on prevention and increase
in funding for prevention research. It also examines resulting job
opportunities and expanded interest in the public health field.
Comprehensive and accessible, the text discusses a variety of
new trends in public health, particularly regarding primary care
and public health partnerships. The second edition also includes
information about new accountability initiatives and workforce
requirements to contribute to "public health services and systems
research," better known as health services research and clinical
outcomes research in medical care. The text stresses the increasing
emphasis on efficiency, effectiveness, and equity in achieving
population health improvements, and goes beyond merely presenting
information to analyze the question of whether the practice of
public health achieves its promise. Each chapter includes
objectives, review questions, and case studies. Also included are
an instructor's manual (containing every major public health
improvement initiative and introducing every major data system
sponsored by the U.S. public health system), PowerPoint slides, and
a test bank.
