Course Description:

The goal of this course is to further acquaint you with the foundational elements of healthcare services delivery in the United States. Selected elements include the access, quality, cost (the “conundrum”) and continuity dimensions of health services. Balancing the healthcare “conundrum” and prioritizing access with finite resources requires economic, ethical, efficiency, consumer-expectations, and quality considerations. Informed and intentional transformational leadership for strategic direction is needed to guide this daunting effort. The history and development of the United States healthcare system is explored in this course with a “high-level” comparison to global health systems. Quality, safety, legal considerations, the impact of technology, human capital needs, and policy are among other aspects addressed. Strategy development and management/leadership principles associated with healthcare operations will also be examined as the part of the framework you will learn and be exposed to throughout the course.
