Now in its second edition, The Middleboro Casebook offers a series of
flexible, multipart, and integrated cases that bring to life eight
healthcare organizations--two hospitals, a long-term care facility, a
home health agency, two physician group practices, a community mental
health center, and a county health department--in the fictional town of
Middleboro and its surrounding communities.
Created with today's healthcare issues and realities in mind, each
organization's demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental
characteristics are described in detail, including its:
History Governance Organizational structure and strategies Programs and
services Finance Operational challenges
In this updated edition, all cases have been thoroughly revised to
reflect changes in legislation, economic developments, and industry
trends. All data have been updated or modified, and new organizational
entities have been added, including a new case that portrays a community
mental health center.
The Middleboro Casebook can be used in undergraduate- and
graduate-level health administration programs, as well as in business
schools and public health or public administration programs. The book
works equally well in capstone courses and multiple foundational
courses, or as a recurring element woven throughout a program's entire
curriculum.
