Along with basic and clinical sciences, health systems science has become a crucial “third pillar” of medical education, with an emphasis on understanding the role of human factors, systems thinking, leadership, and health system improvement strategies that will help transform the future of health care and ensure greater patient safety. Health Systems Science, now in its 3rd Edition, was the first textbook devoted to this increasingly important branch of health care education, providing up-to-date, easy-to-understand coverage of how health care is delivered, how health care professionals work together to deliver that care, and how the health system can improve patient care and health care delivery. This fully revised edition addresses today’s key issues in the field, helping students acquire the knowledge and skills they need for success in today’s challenging health care system.
    • Addresses key issues such as patient safety, quality improvement, value in health care, teamwork, stewardship of health care resources, population health, clinical informatics, care coordination, leadership, and health care financing/reform
    • Offers practical coverage of how the structures and processes of the health system intersect with the social and structural factors in the lives of patients that influence their health
    • Covers emerging topics such as health information exchanges, telehealth, artificial intelligence, population analytics, organizational behavior (change theory), and project management
    • Includes new content on how to incorporate health systems science into lifelong clinical practice; expanded coverage of structural, social, and political determinants of health and community health needs assessments; and more
    • Uses a consistent chapter template, including Learning Objectives, Chapter Outline, Core Chapter Content, Summary, Questions for Further Thought, Annotated Bibliography, and References
    • An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows access to all of the text and figures, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
