This edited book is the first to provide a comprehensive international survey of long-term care provision and regulation, built around a series of case studies from Europe, North America and Asia. The analytical framework allows the different approaches that countries have adopted to be compared side by side and readers are encouraged to consider which quality assurance approaches might best meet their own country's needs. Wider issues underpinning the need to regulate the quality of long-term care are also discussed. This timely book is a valuable resource for policymakers working in the health care sector, researchers and students taking graduate courses on health policy and management. 0aLong-term care of the sick 0aCross-Cultural Comparison 0aInternationality1 aMor, Vincent,eeditor of compilation.1 aLeone, Tiziana,eeditor of compilation.1 aMaresso, Anna,eeditor of compilation.08iPrint version: z9781107042063 0aHealth Economics, Policy and Management.40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781107323711
