BUS 576 - Structure and Economics of the US Healthcare System

3 Cr. Hrs.
Healthcare systems are complicated structures beholden economically and legally to many different stakeholders and policies. When those factors change, they have consequences. Aspiring managers must be able to make informed decisions about what to do in the face of change. By the end of this course, aspiring healthcare system managers will be prepared to analyze the economic impact of policy changes on their institutions and tackle challenges such as hospital mergers, new payment models, regulated drug prices, and Medicaid insurance bids. Although there are no prerequisites for this course, a basic understanding of economics (e.g. previous undergraduate class) would be beneficial, as this course deals with understanding the economic impact of policies on healthcare systems.

Grading Basis: Graded Repeatable: No Typical Periods Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer
