Evidence-based healthcare and public health: how to make decisions about health services and public health

Explains how evidence can be applied to health policy and management decisions for populations, rather than for individual patients. It places the emphasis on science, not opinion or guesswork. This new edition emphasises how to make rational healthcare decisions in the face of financial pressures, and how to improve rather than just measure, the quality of outcomes.
