Perfect as a companion to Hospitals: What They Are and How They Work, also by Don Griffin, this text is an ideal introduction to the health care workplace for aspiring health professionals. It is also an excellent reference for the practicing health professional. Features: Offers concise chapters on 31 types of health care services delivered outside the hospital setting. Offers key vocabulary words, chapter review questions, and materials for group discussion in each chapter. Is accompanied by downloadable instructor resources including chapter lecture slides, as well as a midterm and final exam.
