MGT-MGT-531 Economics for Healthcare Managers
This course is a graduate-level exploration of the economics of healthcare in the United States. Comparisons of the U.S. CMS / payor heath insurance model, its costs, and patient outcomes are made to health systems that utilize socialized medicine and Medicare-for-All program proposals. Supply and demand for healthcare services are analyzed in light of the Triple Aim (improvements in patient experience, improvements to population health, and reductions in healthcare costs). "For Profit" vs. "Not-for-Profit" health systems are evaluated, and behavioral economics is assessed.
