This book offers an overview of key elements of the hospital -- its structure, administration, and its functioning. It looks beyond acute disease to the environment of care, how it works, how it doesn't work, and how it might improve. Issues discussed include communicating with families, the basics of hospital finance, how dangerous hospitalization can be to the elderly, and how to minimize errors. Book jacket.
