Harry Haft: Survivor of Auschwitz, Challenger of Rocky Marciano

The Institute for the Future has been leading research in the future of health and health care since 1985. In Health and Health Care 2010, the Institute analyzed and summarized research data from all corners of the health care world to produce a landmark study of where medicine, nursing, health services, and public health are headed. The award-winning publication was adopted by researchers, faculty, students, executives, and consultants as the sourcebook on health care trends. In this substantially updated and expanded second edition, the Institute offers a current analysis on the trends and emerging visions of dimensions of America's health and health care.
Health and Health Care 2010, Second Edition, offers well-researched coverage of health insurance, managed care, health care providers, the health workforce, medical technologies, information technologies, consumerism, public health services, mental health, child health, health of the elderly, chronic care, and health behaviors, and more. Each of the volume's topics starts with historical background leading into the contemporary setting and is followed with predicted short-term developments and forecasts reaching to the year 2010. Acknowledging the difficulty of long-term predictions, even by experts, the projections are cast as "stormy," "long and winding," or "sunny."
