Focusing on Canada's health care system, Raisa B. Deber provides brief descriptions of some key facts and concepts necessary to understand health care policy in Canada and place it in an international context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn accessible guide, Treating \u003ci\u003e Health Care\u003c\/i\u003e unpacks key concepts to provide informed discussions that help us understand and diagnose Canada's health care system and to clarify which proposed changes are likely to improve it - and which are not. This book provides background information to clarify such concepts as: determinants of health; how health systems are organized and financed (including international comparisons); health economics; health ethics; and roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, including government, providers, and patients. It then addresses some key issues, including equity, efficiency, access and wait times, quality improvement and patient safety, and coverage and payment models. Using analysis rather than advocacy, Deber provides a toolkit to help understand health care and health policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raisa Deber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487521499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487521493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Raisa Deber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445165469951,"sku":"9781487521493","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_350f6170-3e15-44bc-a5ea-37a9c1ab46c9.jpg?v=1777216955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/treating-health-care-raisa-deber-9781487521493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
