HLTH-832 Health Policy
Examines health policy development and implementation as well as current and emerging U.S. health and healthcare delivery issues and the policies, politics, and ethical implications surrounding them. We examine health policy through different models related to the healthcare delivery system and financial and payment systems; we also examine current issues that affect healthcare access, cost, and quality. Topics may change each year, but typically include policies and perspectives on state and federal healthcare reform, disparities in health and access, staffing ratios of nurses and other professionals, drug prices, and other current health topics in the news.
