Description:

Rosoff, Field. This course offers a current and historical overview of the regulation of health care delivery and financing in the U.S. It examines principles and practical applications of the laws that affect the operational decisions of health care providers, payers, and managers and that impact the development of markets for health care products and services. Also considered are the social, moral, and ethical issues encountered in trying to balance the interests, needs and rights of citizens against those of society. For part of the term, the class will divide into two groups so that students can focus on their choice of (1) health care management (antitrust law, and regulation of the drug and medical device industry) or (2) selected issues of patients' rights (e.g., abortion, treatment of terminal patients, etc.).
