Delivers knowledge to support a lifetime of informed, impactful advocacy
This concise, practical text---written for all nursing roles and levels of experience--synthesizes the complexities of health economics, finance, payment, ethics, and civic responsibility into an easy-to-understand, non-partisan guide to health policy and activism. It is distinguished from similar texts by its discussion of economic and financial dynamics in health care as a precursor to policy and advocacy in nursing. In addition to being revised and updated, the book includes substantially expanded material on artificial intelligence and large language platforms; information, quality, safety and costs; health equity; civics; laws, administrative rules and Supreme Court decisions; nurses on boards; Medicare Advantage and Part D, outpatient pharmaceuticals; the impact of mergers and acquisitions on nurses' salaries and career opportunities; and an entirely new chapter on the nursing workforce.
Written by a health economics and policy expert, dean, and award-winning teacher recognized as a "policy luminary" by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the resource discusses in depth the relationship between nursing and health care economics. It traces the history of our health care system from the early 1900s through today and discusses the intersection of ethics and economics to provide nurses with the tools to thoughtfully analyze dilemmas arising from today's focus on the bottom line. Using a step-by-step skill-building guide, the book describes--with the support of illustrative case--how to use economic principles to shape organizations and public policy. It breaks down complex financial principles to facilitate understanding for nurses with no prior knowledge of this discipline. Also included is updated information on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and key subsequent legislation and Supreme Court decisions. Additionally, the book is compatible with online teaching and coursework. Faculty resources include PowerPoint slides, a test bank, comprehensive review questions and sample syllabi.

Key Features:
Betty Rambur, PhD, RN, FAAN, is the Routhier Endowed Chair for Practice and professor of nursing at the University of Rhode Island. She was formerly professor of nursing and health policy and at the University of Vermont and from 2000 to 2009 served there as an academic dean. In this role, she led the 2002 merger of the School of Nursing and the School of Allied Health Science to establish the College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
These experiences build on Dr. Rambur's substantive leadership history in health policy and payment reform. From 1991-1995 she led North Dakota's 33-member, statewide public/private health financing and delivery reform effort that led to omnibus legislation. In 2013, Dr. Rambur was appointed to Vermont's Green Mountain Care Board by Governor Peter Shumlin and served in this role until 2017. The five member Green Mountain Care board is a quasi-judicial body. It oversees Vermont's financing, payment and delivery reform and holds broad regulatory, innovation, and evaluation authority. In May 2020, Dr.. Rambur appointed to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission by the U.S. Comptroller General, Director of the U.S. Government Accountability Office. MedPAC is an influential, nonpartisan group of policy experts who advise the U.S. Congress on Medicare payment and policy. She was reappointed to this role in 2003. She has also served on numerous advisory and governing boards, including the boards of trustees of an academic medical center and an independent community hospital.

Dateiformat: ePUBKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat ePUB ist sehr gut für Romane und Sachbücher geeignet - also für „fließenden” Text ohne komplexes Layout. Bei E-Readern oder Smartphones passt sich der Zeilen- und Seitenumbruch automatisch den kleinen Displays an. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
