Health Policy
This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Health policy covers the making and implementing of decisions by public administrators and elected legislators to improve the health and well-being of the public. The plan of action may address financing, delivery, cost, accessibility, quality of care, ethical standards or the health system in general. It may be broad or detailed and may present long-range or short-term goals. Policy may be established at either the state or federal level.
