What is HSS?
Health systems continue to have a growing and important role in medicine, driving innovations in care delivery, research, education and more...In the health system science definition, it is a foundational platform and framework for the study and understanding of how care is delivered in health systems, how health professionals work together, and how health systems can improve patient care and health care delivery.
HSS is intertwined with the two basic pillars of medical education, basic science and clinical science, but is an important subject in its own right, requiring study by medical students. As physicians' roles in the health care system continue to change, physicians and students need to understand HSS in order to fulfill their evolving roles.
AMAs Health Systems Science is the core book used for both HSS 1 & HSS 2. For now, the publisher is not allowing the library to license the book as an E-book, but, it is available in print at the Stratford library and from these other retailers for either purchase or rent.
