This book is intended to provide health care managers and students with a set of tools that can help them make economic-based policy decisions in the modern health care organisation. With an eye towards the future, material is framed around emerging health care policy for the twenty-first century and how economics plays a crucial role in establishing policy. Readers will be introduced to principles of microeconomics and decision analysis as a way to approach resource allocation issues within the organisation. The primary focus is on applied rather than theoretical economics.
