Health Care Delivery Reform in the US
HPM 505

Course Information

Description

Health care delivery in the US is an enormous, complex, and fragmented system of hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation facilities and other services. The overall purpose of this course is to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge on the current state of the US health care delivery system and to develop tools to understand and critically evaluate major delivery reforms. This course has three main objectives: (1) illustrate the current state of health care delivery across the spectrum of settings (e.g. hospital, clinic, nursing home) and the major challenges facing this system; (2) develop a deep understanding of important delivery reform initiatives being pursued across the US and critically evaluate their capacity to achieve intended change; and (3) explore the challenges in implementing these delivery reforms.
