NUR 7314 - Health Finance and Budgeting

Credits: 3

Concepts determining quality, access, and equity in health care are explored as they create the context of the U.S. healthcare system. Reimbursement systems used in health care are examined for their impact on care decisions made at individual, family, community, and public levels. Gaps in health care financing resulting in compromises in health delivery are analyzed, and alternative models are explored. Data sets are analyzed to identify variations in outcome and propose system and outcome improvements.
