Book was purchased for an online college course. So far of what I have read is very interesting about the development of health care in the U.S. and other countries.

Good introduction to HS for non medical types

Using this text for a distance learning course. Seems to provide a good introduction to the subjects of Health Services. Written on a level I can understand, not being a medical person, but a hospital support person.

Excellent introductory overview to the US health system.

Williams and Torrens have developed one of the best introductory texts on the US health system. The book has clear learning objectives, useful references, and helpful diagrams. The American health system is farily and accurately described, warts and all.
