Book Reviews of Health and Health Care 2010: The Forecast, The Challenge, 2nd Edition

Book Review: A good albeit dated book
Summary: 3 Stars

Anyone who writes about the future of anything takes risks that it will be dated before the ink is dry. This books moves beyond the usual futuristic predictions and gives good direction for the future. of course, reading it in 2008, when the book is written for predictions only to 2010 it had few surprises. But worthy of a read.

Summary of Health and Health Care 2010: The Forecast, The Challenge, 2nd Edition

Health and Health Care 2010, Second Edition, offers well-researched coverage of health insurance, managed care, health care providers, the health workforce, medical technologies, information technologies, consumerism, public health services, mental health, child health, health of the elderly, chronic care, and health behaviors, and more. Each of the volume's topics starts with historical background leading into the contemporary setting and is followed with predicted short-term developments and forecasts reaching to the year 2010. Acknowledging the difficulty of long-term predictions, even by experts, the projections are cast as "stormy," "long and winding," or "sunny."
