Summary

Second Edition coming in April! Public Health Administration gives you a solid grounding in the principles, practices, and skills essential to successful public health administration. When you use this comprehensive and authoritative reference, you get full coverage of traditional public health responsibilities--assessing the burden of disease, preventing and controlling health threats, and developing policies and constituencies to improve health--in a contemporary framework that fully reflects the ongoing transition from a public to a population health perspective. Public Health Administration covers the basics of administration, including organizational design law, human resources, budgeting and financing, marketing, and communications; discusses newly defined and emerging areas, such as health information management, geographic information systems, performance measurement and improvement, ethics, leadership, and community partnerships; expert contributors draw on first hand experience and leading-edge research, assembling the information required for effective managerial decision-making.
