As part of the American Medical Association (AMA)'s Accelerating Change
in Medical Education Consortium's work, Health Systems Science (HSS)
is establishing itself as the third major branch of a balanced medical
education, alongside basic and clinical sciences. Health Systems
Science Review is a first-of-its-kind review book designed to
prepare future physicians and other health care professionals to
function effectively within health systems by better understanding 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 study tool provides case-based
questions followed by discussions of answers and suggested
readings-making it a valuable review resource for medical students and
instructors, as well as medical residents; nursing, allied health, and
public health students; and hospital administrators.
Meets a growing need for an effective, targeted review tool on HSS,
a topic increasingly covered on the USMLE and other exams.
Contains 250+ case-based, multiple-choice questions, with extensive
discussion of correct and incorrect answers, as well as access to
interactive questions online.
Offers an up-to-date, effective review to support and assess
competence in HSS, covering health care delivery and processes, health
care policy and economics, clinical informatics and technology, social
determinants of health, patient safety, teamwork and collaboration,
systems thinking and complexity science, and much more.
Provides highly relevant content applicable to today's evolving
health care delivery written by experts in emerging areas of HSS.
Serves as an excellent study companion for the ground-breaking book,
Health Systems Science, by Susan E. Skochelak, MD, MPH, et al., also
developed by the AMA's Accelerating Change in Medical Education
Consortium, which is at the forefront of change and innovation in
medical education.
Includes an Enhanced eBook version with purchase. Your enhanced
eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from
the book on a variety of devices.
