Documentation planning for the U.S. health care system

the long version

Volume editor Joan Krizack begins by offering a general overview of the U.S. health care system and of the different settings in which care is delivered. Contributing authors then discuss the salient characteristics for archivists of health agencies and foundations; biomedical research facilities; educational institutions; professional and voluntary associations; and health industries. In the final chapter, Krizack explains how to develop and carry out a documentation plan, describing the implementation of one such plan at Children's Hospital in Boston.
