Product Description

While the hospital is the centerpiece of the health care system, so much health care is delivered outside this setting. Following on the heels of Don Griffin's previous book: Hospitals: What They Are and How They Work, this new book takes an in-depth look at the complex world of the health care systems that lie outside the hospital. From the physician's office, to long term care facilities, to hospice, the reader will gain a clear understanding of the myriad health care systems and their inner workings.
