Using a unique systems approach, it brings together an extraordinary breadth of information into a highly accessible, easy-to-read text that clarifies the complexities of health care organization and finance, while presenting a solid overview of how the various components fit together. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Simply outstanding as an introduction to healthcare.Almost every class has a textbook, and almost every professor assures his or her students that his or class' particular textbook is worth buying. Rarely is this true. In the case of Shi & Singh's book, though, I actually agree. I bought this book for the first course that I took on the U.S. healthcare system. I was skeptical but Shi & Singh quickly won me over with their excellent writing, which presents the material in quick, readable fashion and stays relevent and fresh throughout. ... Read More Rating:  - Delivering Health Care in America A Systems ApproachI took a summer class which used this book. It was interesting and very easy reading. If one works in the health field like I do, it reminded me of some issues and gave me other issues to think about. I would recommend it to a person who wanted a good overview of healthcare in the US, compared to other countries. The charts were easy to understand and the book was not full of charts and graphs that were unnecessary. Rating:  - Strong statements made without source citation-A textbook full of authors' opinionsPoorly written and highly un-edited. The authors make strong and slanted statements throughout the book, stating things as factual rather than the opinions they truly are. There is little citation of research references when there certainly should be. Poor, poor quality text book. Rating:  - Delivering Health Care in AmericaThis book was used as text material for a course I took. I found it to be incredibly biased against the current American "system" of health care. We all know health care needs fixing around here, but I rather expect a more balanced view from a textbook. Rating: - Book orderDelivering Health Care in America: A Systems Approach with Resource Guide (Purchased on 08/22/2007) was purchased. It was recieved in excellent condition and was a brand new book as stated in the original description. I am very satisfied with the service, especially after saving over $30 by ordering through this buyer versus my campus bookstore. The order was received timely.
