Case Studies in Canadian Health Policy and Management, Second Edition cover

"Deber and Mah's Case Studies in Canadian Health Policy and Management is a great teaching resource. More than twenty case studies on high-profile topics from genetic testing and wait times to paying for new cancer drugs are covered. The very readable case studies include stimulating sets of discussion questions, and each has an accompanying appendix containing additional details. Students will love the diversity, and faculty will find the book informative and easy to use." -- Noralou Roos, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba "Raisa Deber probably has more experience using the case approach in health policy and management than any other professor in Canada. This volume fills an enormous gap in terms of the teaching materials available to instructors in these fields." -- Gregory Marchildon, Canada Research Chair in Public Policy and Economic History, Johnson-Shoyama School of Public Policy, University of Regina

This second edition features all new cases, as well as adding an introductory chapter that provides a framework and tools for health policy analysis in Canada.

Covering a wide range of issues, the 22 cases included in Case Studies in Canadian Health Policy and Management constitute an exceptional resource for bringing real-life policy questions into the classroom. Based on actual events, the cases have been developed with input from mid-career professionals with strong field experience and extensively tested in Raisa B. Deber’s graduate case study seminar at the University of Toronto. Each case features both a substantive health policy issue and a selection of key concepts and methods appropriate to examining public policy, public health, and health care management issues.

In each case, the authors provide a summary of the case and the related policy issues, a description of events, suggested questions for discussion, supporting information, and both works cited and further reading. Suitable for graduate and undergraduate classrooms in programs in a variety of fields, Case Studies in Canadian Health Policy and Management is an exceptional educational resource.

This second edition features all new cases, as well as adding an introductory chapter that provides a framework and tools for health policy analysis in Canada.
