Considering the vast and sometimes daunting number of health policies and information regarding healthcare, it is nice to have a book written directly for physical therapists. For me, this book filtered out much of the unnecessary info and addressed what is important to my future profession. I progressed from knowing next to nothing about health systems and policy to actually being able to apply the concepts in my everyday life.
