processes that influence planning in various healthcare settings;
presents the accepted methods of economic and financial analysis;

factor into the health policy process. Finally, it looks at the
roles, skills, and leadership that health professionals can bring
to the policy making process in their local and national
communities. Key Features: • Expands the material through the
