This course provides an overview of the health care industry in the USA. Health care is one of the largest and most complex industries and does not operate like other businesses.

Covered topics include the conceptual basis for our health care system, its history, the stakeholders (public, private, people and organizations), the role of technology, the issues of cost, access and quality (patient safety), health policy and the future of the system. This course is appropriate for students expecting to work in the health care sector (provider, administration, payer, technology, etc.) and especially for those hoping for career advancement.
