The emphasis is on the application of  structural equation modeling techniques and other analytical methods  to develop causal models in health care management. Topics include  causality, theoretical model building, and model verification.  Multivariate modeling approaches and their applications in health care  management are illustrated.\u003cbr\u003e  The primary goals of the book are to present advanced principles of  health services management research and to familiarize students with  the multivariate analytic methods and procedures now in use in  scientific research on health care management. The hope is to help  health care managers become better equipped to use causal modeling  techniques for problem solving and decision making.\u003cbr\u003e  Evidence-based knowledge is derived from scientific replication and  verification of facts. Used consistently and appropriately, it enables  a health care manager to improve organizational performance. Causal  inference in health care management is a highly feasible approach to  establishing evidence-based knowledge that can help navigate an  organization to high performance. This book introduces the principles  and methods for drawing causal inferences in research on health  services management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792374855\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0795-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 233\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265661718668,"sku":"9780792374855","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792374855.jpg?v=1770788139","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792374855","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
