The authors in this volume illustrate, from multiple disciplinary perspectives, the unexpected ways that patients can matter as both agents and objects of health care policy yet nonetheless too often remain silent, silenced, misrepresented, or ignored. The volume concludes with a unique epilogue outlining principles for more effectively integrating patient perspectives into a pluralistic conception of policy-making. With the recent enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, patients' and consumers' roles in American health care require more than ever the careful analysis and attention exemplified by this innovative volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beatrix Hoffman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813550505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813550503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/09\/2011 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012","brand":"Beatrix Hoffman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425074397439,"sku":"9780813550503","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_861545ed-7cbd-4a38-bb37-e4f8024d34ef.jpg?v=1761536832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/patients-as-policy-actors-beatrix-hoffman-9780813550503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
