The best data for broader value driven healthcare comes from the geriatric models, which currently have the best data available.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e This book\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003etraces the\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eorigins of value-based purchasing and current geriatric care models and synthesizes their implications for today's changing health system.  It also discusses healthcare accountability and risk sharing.  The audience includes geriatric healthcare professionals, but also a wider audience interested in broader healthcare models and value driven healthcare from a policy, economic, and ethical perspective.  These include primary care physicians, specialists who work with aging patients, hospital administrators, healthcare educators, healthcare organizations, and all medical professionals working with aging patients and patients affected by healthcare reform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-05-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319770567\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-77057-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 203cm x127cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 156\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47696614457484,"sku":"9783319770567","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319770567.jpg?v=1776777715","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319770567","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
