Product Description
In this third edition of The Australian Health Care System, Stephen Duckett provides a fully updated overview of the structure and operation of Australia's health systems and services.
Duckett adopts a systems approach to analyze how the inputs of Australian health services - such as finances, the health workforce, and the roles of state and federal government - influence the outputs and outcomes, which range from consumer confidence to policy changes. Written with an emphasis on policy and economic issues, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the interations between consumers and providers of health care in Australia.
This third edition includes new material on the structure of the medical and health insurance industry, and new material on the safety of hospital care. Duckett also charts possible future directions for the health care system in Australia, based on changes in information technology, pressure from consumers, research advances and demographic changes in population.
