MULT 276 - Legal Aspects and Risk Management

Institution:

Columbus State Community College

Subject:

Description:

This course provides a basic overview of the legal aspects of health services management and develops a general framework for managers to understand the legal dimensions of problems. The legal implications of Health System Organizations (HSOs) and Health Systems (HSs) management have increased and are likely to continue to do so. This trend requires that managers have a basic understanding of the law as it affects the HSO/HS and how to interact effectively with legal counsel. As with the practice of medicine, prevention is more efficient than solving legal problems after they occur. Because the dimensions of legal problems are frequently a result of liability exposure, or risk, the topic of risk management is addressed.It is intended for health care practitioners preparing to enter supervisory positions.
