Rural Health Care

Innovation in a Changing Environment

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume presents a comprehensive overview of the current rural health environment by sorting topics into coverage of the demand for rural health, the supply of resources (facilities and personnel), the broad application of technology, and the roles of government policies and rural sociology. A major purpose is to guide those involved in decision making and planning to insure continued provision of health care for rural residents. A unique feature is the integration of innovative approaches throughout the work; there is a recognition that several rural institutions are undergoing transition and that fresh approaches are critical. This work will be of interest to scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners in rural health care, health care facilities, and health care management.
