"[This book] will change how you practice, how you think about health care and your contributions as a nurse, and it will better prepare you to thrive and advance in the future"

From the Foreword
This succinct, engaging text for graduate and undergraduate nursing programs distills the complexities of health care finance, economics, and policy into a highly accessible resource that can be applied to any practice setting. It presents economic and financial dynamics in healthcare as a precursor to policy and advocacy in nurses. The second edition adds graduate-level considerations and is updated to reflect our current political and legislative landscape.
Real-life illustrations support foundational concepts and interactive quizzes reinforce information. Faculty resources include PowerPoint slides, a test bank, comprehensive review questions, and a sample syllabus.

In May 2020, Dr. Rambur was appointed to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC)* by the U.S Comptroller General, Eugene Louis Dodaro, Director of the U.S. Government Accountability Office. This nonpartisan group advises the U.S. Congress on issues of Medicare and is widely considered to be widely influential.
An RN, Dr. Rambur received her MS and PhD in nursing from Rush University in Chicago, Illinois, Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate from University of North Dakota, and baccalaureate degree from University of Mary, Bismarck, ND, where she also served as Department Chair. She maintains an active research program focused on health services, quality, workforce, waste and cost reduction, and ethics. She has led or participated in research, education, and public service grants exceeding $2 million, is the author of about 60 published articles, and has made numerous invited presentations on her research, health care economics and policy, and leadership development. In 2007, her research was honored by Sigma Theta Tau International. Dr. Rambur is also an accomplished teacher in both classroom and online venues. In May 2013, she received the UVM Graduate Student Senate Excellence in Teaching Award, and in November 2013, she received the prestigious Sloan Consortium Excellence in Online Teaching and Learning Award.
