This text provides a practical application approach to case management. Combining theory, visual aids such as charts and diagrams, and case studies in particular practice settings, the beginning case manager will receive a strong foundation towards building skills. The current practitioner will also benefit from the text as a wonderful reference source.

There is not much I can say about this book. The book speaks far better for itself than ever I could hope to. I congratulate the author. I had read lectures on Systems Analysis and Design to Graduate Students (not on informatics)and my reference book was this one. Obviously, authors applied their past experience to present a complex task in a very amenous and readable way. Of course, I will use it again in my next courses. Some years ago, I used several times in my courses, with good results, the book "Systems Analysis and Design. Best Practices" by the same authors.

This book was a good read, well worth purchasing. Rather than making a miraculous difference in one or two aspects of my practice, it has made a generally wide turnaround in attitude and ways to approach patients regarding payment options, etc.
Despite being an older book, this book still applies for all of a today's standard private practices and I would highly recommend it!

Got the book in 3 days (including the weekend), in excellent condition! Couldn't ask for better service than that!

I'm using this book for a distance education course. It wasn't available at our virtual bookstore so finding it here at Amazon was fantastic. The condition of the book is perfect.

Carol Buck's book is worth its weight in gold. Easy read. Good illustrations. The CD-ROM gives you a good feeling for the time element involved for the CPC exam. The questions on the CD-ROM give you good practice also. Carol Buck's method of study is helpful too. Follow her directions. After completing Carol Buck's review guide, I felt ready and confident for the CPC exam.
The only glitch was that I found a few mistakes in the review guide. Don't let that stop you from purchasing her book or any of her books.

This book is excellent... I am so happy I was able to get it so quickly. Thank-you

I purchased this book to study for an exam. I purchased a used copy and was extremely pleased when it came & it looked brand new! I saved $25 by purchasing through Amazon. I was VERY pleased.

We deal with legal issues in promotional testing and fair employment. Dr. Richard S. Barrett (not to be confused with another lesser tester, Gerald Barrrett) has put employment testing into wonderful perspective, blowing through the myths and mystique that Industrial-Organizational Psychology has wrapped itself in while dominating testing in employment for decades. Richard Barrett astutely attacks some of the ways testers (either through sloppiness or cost-cutting) write and conduct impaired examinations with adverse impact against minorities, then defend them for hundreds of thousands of $$ in "expert witness fees." Richard Barrett, who also worked on the EEOC guidelines and testified in the seminal disparate impact cases, shows the right way examinations should be done. Excellent, small (just a few hundred pages, like a summation), and very readable book.
