Book excerpt: "Provides an introduction to epidemiology and explains how to use epidemiological concepts and tools to improve decisions about the management of health services. As health administration becomes more focused on population and community health, understanding the impact of disease on populations in a service area is more important than ever. This book blends theory and application by presenting basic principles and expanding discussion on healthcare management in chapters that are filled with case studies, examples, and exhibits to reinforce concepts. A new chapter on the importance of epidemiology for both public health and healthcare leadership is included, along with three application chapters that focus on the health of populations with three specific diseases. A new appendix of formulas has been added, along with an in-text glossary. A major update to this edition includes the addition of more than 60 new cases, bringing the total number of cases in the book to more than 100."-- Amazon.com.
