Self-Management & the Health Care Consumer (English, Hardcover, Harvey Peter William)

This book is especially apt for those interested in implementing the practices and strategies that support programmes of health maintenance, preventive health and strategies for bringing about a change in personal and population health outcomes. These initiatives are sorely needed in all sectors of health care and prevention. Indeed, numerous reviews of health systems world-wide have highlighted the centrality of personal behaviours and self management as a key to improving the outcomes for the individual and populations.
