Review Hospital Product Price Trends: Better Purchasing Value Through Knowledge / HCPro:

Hospital Product Price Trends is a one-of-a-kind resource with data you couldn't otherwise compile. Each of the 24 included surveys is a comprehensive, multi-faceted, detailed look at prices being paid across the country for the same supplies and materials your hospital uses everyday, from gloves and gowns to pacemakers and catheters. You might find slices of this information from other sources such as GPOs or product manufacturers, but it will be a limited sample size, and not as comprehensive and thorough as in Hospital Product Price Trends. This book and CD-ROM package cover surveys from the last two years, along with explanations on patterns and trends from the editorial team from Hospital Materials Management, HCPro's monthly newsletter for supply chain professionals. Prominent industry executive Thomas W. MacVaugh pens an introduction. All of the surveys are replicated on the accompanying CD-ROM so you can easily share the information with colleagues as you plan negotiating and budget strategy sessions. You'll learn where the industry is turning and be ready to position your hospital or system to take advantage of future purchasing opportunities for maximum savings.

Dewey code: 362.1
Price: $95.00

Review Public And Private Roles In Health Care Systems: Experiences From Seven Countries (State of Health) / Open University Press:

Many OECD countries have been reviewing and modifying their healthcare systems in recent years. Similar reform proposals are being adopted in a number of countries, including the separation of purchasers from providers, managed care, and managed competition. Considerable attention has been placed on defining appropriate roles, relationships and interfaces among public and private organizations in the funding, purchasing and provision of healthcare. Governments are recognizing the growing significance of private sector organizations in achieving public policy strategies and the importance of both the private and public sectors in improving the performance of the healthcare system. / In Public and Private Roles in Health Care Systems, Claudia Scott examines both the theory and practice surrounding public and private sector roles in healthcare systems. The roles of governments and markets are explored in the areas of funding, purchasing, provision and regulation, drawing on the experiences of seven OECD countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, US and UK. Public and private roles and interfaces are discussed in each country and the health system is evaluated in terms of its capacity to achieve the policy goals of efficiency, cost containment, equity and choice. The book highlights critical public policy choices which governments must make as they contemplate alternative policy strategies for health sector reform. It is recommended reading for students and researchers of health policy and public administration, as well as health professionals and policy makers worldwide.
