Health Economics: Fundamentals and Flow of Funds, 2nd Edition |
| Thomas E. Getzen (Temple Univ.) |
| * Forward by Nobel Laureate, Kenneth J. Arrow. * "Flow of funds" approach used in the first 12 Chapters makes the application of economic principles easily understood, even by doctors, administrators and nurses with little economics experience. Explains clearly why public goods make most people better off, but few happy. * Transactions between patients and physicians are examined to see how profits are made, costs are covered, contracts written, and regulations formed. * Coverage of demand shows how "value" and "price" are often not commensurate. * The difference between accounting and economic costs in hospitals, pharmaceutical firms and physician office practices are spelled out. * Shows how HMOs achieve cost savings. Demonstrates economic forecasting. * Macroeconomic perspective used in Chapters 13-19 illuminates the dynamics of spending and employment.
