PBHE401 - Health Care Delivery Systems
View Academic Calendar
This course is designed to provide the students with the basic essentials of the providers of the U.S. health care system. These will include the people, the institutions (hospitals, managed-care plans, and medical practices), the money, the government, the insurers (third-party payors), and even the patients. Special emphasis will be on identifying who is, and is not, getting access to health care; the costs incurred by the primary delivery systems; how health care delivery quality is measured; and, finally, the directions of change that are occurring.
