Newly revised and significantly updated, Jonas and Kovner's Health Care Delivery in the United States, 13th Edition continues to be a highly acclaimed and trusted resource covering all aspects of health care in the United States. This comprehensive textbook contains information on a wide array of topics, including the organization of care, population health, the fundamental challenges of health disparities, health care financing and economics, and health information technology’s role in improving care and protecting privacy. New chapters on public health preparedness and its role in mitigating effects on health and the health system, and the medical and social challenges of caring for older adults provide insight into important, ongoing challenges and what those challenges reflect about our system of care.


With an increased emphasis on health disparities, population health, and health equity, this textbook includes a timely focus on how social and behavioral determinants influence health outcomes. Students will gain a deeper understanding of public health systems and their societal role and of the economic perspectives that drive health care managers and the system. Thorough coverage of the rapid changes that are reshaping our system, in addition to an evaluation of our nation’s achievement of health care value, will equip students with the critical knowledge they need to enter this dynamic and complex field. The book also includes cutting-edge, evidence-based information on preventive medicine, innovative approaches to control health care costs, initiatives to achieve high quality and value-based care, and much more from prominent scholars, practitioners, and educators within health care management, public health, population health, health policy, medical care, and nursing.

James R. Knickman, PhD, recently retired as the Robert Derzon chair in public and health affairs at New York University where he had joint appointments at the NYU Wagner School of Public Service and at NYU Grossman School of Medicine's Department of Population Health. He has spent four decades splitting his time between academe and the philanthropic sector. His work focuses on health policy, and he has played many roles both as a researcher and a leader in philanthropy to study and test new approaches for improving the quality and efficiency of the American health care system. He was a Vice President at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and President of the New York Health Foundation. He has a PhD in public policy analysis from the University of Pennsylvania and did his undergraduate work at Fordham University. He serves on the board of directors at three nonprofit organizations and served for many years as the board chair of the National Council on Aging in Virginia and the Robert Wood Johnson Health System in New Jersey. Brian Elbel, PhD, MPH, is a professor of Population Health and Health Policy at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where he heads the Section on Health Choice, Policy and Evaluation within the Department of Population Health, and at the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. He is the Associate Dean for Research Mission Strategy and Administration at NYU Langone Health. He studies how individuals make decisions that influence their health, with a particular emphasis on evaluation, obesity, and food choice. His work uses behavioral economics to understand health decision-making among vulnerable groups, and the role and influence of public policy on these decisions. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Science Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and has been featured in national television, radio, and print media.
