Description:

The goal of the course is to develop facility in applying basic tenets of general management to actual situations and dilemmas that might be faced by health care managers, consultants, financiers, investors, innovators, or providers in the course of their work. Issues addressed include but are not limited to financial issues, management challenges, and conduct of operations. The first phase covers the basic background on the structure and financing of the health care industry to include very brief reviews of critical topics such as insurance and government-provided health care. A few basic frameworks are then developed for students to apply to course topics moving forward, such as cost/benefit analysis and evaluation of risk. The remainder of the course involves critical analyses of health care cases involving varied subjects and management challenges. Sessions emphasize student-led discussions.
