"This is an outstanding book that provides the concepts and tools necessary to enable healthcare managers and policy makers to build better health care systems. The book maintains the strengths of the first edition ... and adds new chapters and updated content throughout to make the book more international and comprehensive in its coverage of topics." Tom Rundall, Professor of Organised Health Systems, University of California at Berkeley, USA "This book covers the main areas of knowledge which managers need, and gives tools for thinking and empirical examples relevant to current challenges. Evidence based management might not always be possible, but this book gives a way for a manager to become research-informed and therefore more effective." Professor John Ovretveit, Director of Research, The Karolinska Institute, Sweden
