Course Description
Introduction to Health Policy will provide you with two separate, but related, tools. The first is the ability to understand and explore the current state of local, state and federal health policies and their implications for business decision making. Health care is a significant portion of the compensation package of employees and businesses must be aware of the current laws, policies, and their consequences for labor and management. The second tool will be a method of policy analysis that can be applied to any type of policy, not just health care. This policy analysis method can be applied to both profit and non-profit organizations, and to decision ranging from unit-level to company strategy.
