Review From the reviews:"This book suggests decentralization of services as a strategy for reducing inequities of care and making healthcare more accessible. … The intended audience is healthcare researchers, administrators, health economists, and those interested in health policy. Students in these fields also will find the book useful. … There are many books on the market that focus on healthcare reform and health services delivery. This is the only one that takes the very narrow perspective of decentralization of services." (Carole A. Kenner, Doodys Book Reviews, January, 2014) Review Quote From the reviews: "This book suggests decentralization of services as a strategy for reducing inequities of care and making healthcare more accessible. ...
