Synopsis

The 2nd edition of this APHA best seller acquaints readers with the broad field of community health planning. Health planners need to blend the objective with the normative, planning data with politics, and this book attempts to present both kinds of information. The major functions of planning are addressed, such as a system design and needs, performance and quality assessment. Practicing planners will find this text useful, as well as students who are considering the field. Also, hospital administrators, community leaders and planning board members will find this book helps them understand what this process involves.

This book focuses on general approaches, rather than statistical techniques. The goal in this book is to impart an understanding of what kinds of information planners need and why, rather than analytical details.
