Expanding Access to Health Care: A Management Approach

This important new book, a product of the NationalAcademy of Public Administration (NAPA) and the National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI), undertakes a sweeping analysis of the management and administrative issues that arise in expanding health coverage. The book identifies the core administrative functions that need to be performed in assuring access to health coverage, describes how these functions are performed at present and under proposed alternatives, draws lessons from experience in the U.S. and abroad, and assesses suggested administrative and management approaches designed to facilitate the improvement and expansion of health care coverage.
