Health Economics for Managers II
This course is the second of a two-part sequence (i.e., Health Economics I & Health Economics II). The sequence is largely dichotomized into “demand-side” (prior course) and “supply-side” (this course) health economics material. Both courses review and enhance existing knowledge of health care delivery and related policy issues, using the lens and tools of microeconomics. Within Health Economics II, the specific topics covered will span provider markets and regulation, healthcare workforce, hospital markets, health care mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and private equity ownership.
Topics
- Analyze the objectives and behavior of some of the key, supply-side stakeholders in the US healthcare system: clinicians, hospitals, and post-acute care facilities.
- Apply basic economic reasoning to examine supply-side health policy issues and proposals as well as market events.
