HC 740 - Healthcare Policy and Managed Care

(3)
Health is determined by many variables, influenced primarily by policies played out across a broad array of fronts. Federal, State and Local governments formulate, implement and constantly modify health policies through an intricately choreographed policymaking process. HC 740 utilizes a comprehensive model of health policymaking to analyze these variables and create a framework, which puts the process in perspective with 21st century healthcare initiatives. Throughout the course, students examine the history of health policymaking and the restrictions and limitations that influence the delivery of healthcare to a diverse U.S. population. Additionally, students analyze the managed care environment emerging from the 1980s and progressing through the 21st century, while comparing the effectiveness of U.S. delivery strategies with those of other countries.
