- Summary:
- This book is for all those who need to understand how to make healthcare decisions about groups of patients or populations. Highly praised in its first two editions, it has been extensively revised for this new third edition.
- Evidence-based Healthcare and Public Health explains how evidence can be applied to health policy and management decisions for populations, rather than for individual patients. It places the emphasis on science, not opinion or guesswork
