Esta nueva edición sigue ofreciendo al médico en formación no solo una visión de los temas clave de la especialidad, sino también los principios de un abordaje eminentemente práctico, basado en la resolución de problemas extraídos de la práctica clínica. La obra parte de aspectos generales, como la biología del envejecimiento, aspectos éticos y legales de la atención al anciano, cuestiones sobre la historia y la valoración clínica, estrategias de prevención y prescripción farmacológica, pasando por los síndromes geriátricos más habituales hasta llegar al abordaje de la atención a los pacientes por unidades funcionales (cardiogeriatría, oncogeriatría, cirugía, etc.). Incluye además, una parte más práctica que se centra en la resolución de casos clínicos concretos, lo que implica la asimilación de los conceptos expuestos en las secciones anteriores. Esta parte se complementa con seis vídeos y sus correspondientes ECOEs, disponibles en línea en studentconsult.es. El texto será útil no solo para los médicos en formación, sino también para todos aquellos profesionales interesados por esta rama de la medicina desde un abordaje teórico-práctico, así como para los propios docentes de la especialidad, que encontrarán materiales.

L’économie de la santé s’est imposée comme un champ scientifique qui appréhende les stratégies de santé dans leur globalité en y incluant toutes leurs conséquences directes et indirectes. C’est la raison pour laquelle cette discipline se conjugue naturellement avec la Santé Publique pour se situer à l’interface de la médecine, de la biologie, des sciences mathématiques, des sciences informatiques et des sciences humaines et sociales. Face aux crises économiques et sanitaires que traverse le monde, l'organisation des systèmes de santé est régulièrement remise en question par la croissance continue des dépenses de santé liée à l’accélération des innovations thérapeutiques et technologiques, et à l’augmentation de l’espérance de vie de la population. Cet ouvrage présente, à l’aide de nombreux exemples, les enjeux de l’économie de la santé ainsi que les méthodes et outils de l’évaluation médico-économique permettant non seulement d’estimer la valeur des innovations en santé, mais de rechercher aussi un équilibre difficile entre solidarité et liberté. Il s’adresse à la fois aux professionnels de santé, scientifiques, économistes, décideurs, étudiants ainsi qu’à tous les passionnés d’interdisciplinarit...
