Public Health Leadership

With a practice-based approach, this book presents cutting-edge topics in healthcare and public health, drawing on the premise that there is no single perspective or stakeholder. The work demonstrates the complexity of intersecting interests and responsibilities in a graspable way, and includes case studies contributed by leading experts. Topics include cross-sector partnership-building, innovations in investment strategies, quality control in service delivery, globalization and risk management, performance management, advances in big data tracking, social determinants, and so much more.
