HCA 400 - Clinical Issues in Healthcare Management

3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: HCA 300
This course presents an overview of how social and economic forces are changing how patients, providers, and healthcare managers interact. Although this course is likely to appeal to students who plan careers as healthcare providers or managers, it is intended also for students with a broad range of interests, as all of us will at some point be patients, and approximately one sixth of the US economy is devoted to healthcare. This course complements other Healthcare Management courses that take a societal perspective by focusing on the individuals-patients, providers and managers- who participate in the rapidly changing healthcare enterprise.
