BSPH 3600 - U.S. HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS

[3 Credits]
U.S. Health Care Systems is designed to give students an overview of the structure and functions of the U.S. health care system and the relationship between the health care delivery system and public health. We will explore the logistics of the health care system, including how it is organized, who makes up the workforce, how health care is financed, the costs and value of health care, how it is managed, and the role of information technology in this sector. Finally, we will take a look at the future of health care delivery in the U.S. and of health care policy.
