Jonas and Kovner's Health Care Delivery in the United States (13th Edition), edited by Knickman, is a standard text in health policy, public health, and health administration courses, offering a comprehensive view of how the U.S. health system is organized, financed, and governed. This study guide is built to follow the textbook chapter by chapter, from the challenge of health care delivery and the organization of care through policy and politics, population health, public health systems, and health and behavior.
