One of the many lessons learned from this pandemic is that epidemiological principles must be applied to manage healthcare services and control disease in populations. Managerial Epidemiology: Cases and Concepts provides a comprehensive introduction to epidemiology and its use in healthcare management. Extensively revised  this edition demonstrates  through 64 real-world case studies and numerous examples  how the tools and principles of epidemiology can help managers make better-informed decisions. Updates include: two new chapters on population health and confounding  bias  and effect modification; new cases focused on relevant healthcare management issues  such as health risk factors and capitation rates; a completely rewritten chapter on epidemiology and financial management; heavily revised chapters on case-control studies  cohort studies  randomized clinical trials  infectious disease epidemiology  mortality and risk adjustment  and cost-effectiveness analysis; a sharper focus on healthcare-acquired infections; and greater emphasis on needs assessment and healthcare planning. The books case studies are presented in three levels. In-chapter cases and answer guides form an integral component of the books learning process. End-of-chapter cases provide additional exercises for practical application  with answers supplied at the back of the book so that students can self-quiz. In the books final section  in-depth capstone cases offer an opportunity for reviewing and synthesizing material from specific chapters. Today more than ever  healthcare administrators must use the information provided by epidemiological methods to optimally manage interventions  treatments  and healthcare services that affect the health of populations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665830174773,"sku":"ByrdShop_1640551964","price":95.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781640551961.jpg?v=1782409049","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/managerial-epidemiology-cases-and-concepts-4th-edition-9781640551961","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
