An Essential Guide to the Processes and Operational Complexities of the U.S. Healthcare System 

The U.S. Healthcare Ecosystem, Second Edition serves as an expert navigator through the complicated and often confusing environment where healthcare payers, healthcare providers, and producers of healthcare technologies all interact. This thorough, updated resource delivers expert analysis of employer-based health insurance, pharmacy benefits, the major professions, healthcare consolidation, drug discovery and development, biotechnology, and much more.

The author, a seasoned professor of management at The Wharton School, provides insight into important themes, including how the goals of healthcare relate to the “the iron triangle” (cost, quality, and access) and “the triple aim” (per capita cost, population health, and patient experience). Chapters include brief but timely cases that inspire you to think more critically about the healthcare industry and make informed assessments.

The U.S. Healthcare Ecosystem, Second Edition features:

Coverage of often neglected topics impacting healthcare delivery such as employer-based health insurance, pharmacy benefits, healthcare consolidation, and biotechnology The most current statistics and industry developments Helpful diagrams, charts, and tables Chapter ending summaries and Questions to Ponder A 160-page Instructor Manual containing answers for the Questions to Ponder, talking points for the critical thinking exercises, as well as ready-to-use PowerPoints of all tables and figures within the text Insights and feedback from 60+ professors
