Healthcare Management

QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT Techniques and Applications

---

This book is written to meet the need for a quantitative methods curriculum in health administration or health care management programs. It is designed so that it can be used for one-semester courses in graduate programs as well as for advanced undergraduate programs in health administration.Practical and contemporary examples from the field make it a useful reference book for health care managers, as well. The quantitative techniques offered in this book are those more amenable to the health care management environment and those most frequently used. The book employs the use of WinQSB Decision Support Software for MS/OM. Al- though the simpler examples are demonstrated in the text, their WinQSB solutions are also provided. As techniques increase in sophistication, as for example in queuing models, WinQSB solutions are preferred to lengthy formulas and look- up tables. Since the intent of the book is to make students able users of quantitative methods for decision making, the interpretation of the results from hand-calculated or computer solutions to guide for informed decision making is the foremost goal. Thus, students who have had basic algebra and introductory statistics courses should be able to follow the contents of this book.
