Furrow, Greany, Johnson, Jost and Schwartz' Health Law: Cases, Materials and Problems, 6th

For more than two decades, this casebook has helped to define the field of health law, providing a balanced overview of law as it affects patients, professionals, institutions, and entities that deliver and finance U.S. health care. It covers such topics as the oversight of quality (including the latest developments in patient safety), cost control (including consumer-directed health care), guarantees of adequate access to services, exempt-organization tax issues, transactions and relationships among health care professionals and providers, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and malpractice litigation. The book also considers a number of legal and ethical issues.
