The U.S. Healthcare System: Past, Present, and Future

2 Credits.

This course provides an overview of the healthcare delivery system in the United States, and explores the drivers of change over time that shape the organization and delivery of healthcare services and opportunities for innovation and improvements in the cost, quality, and access dimensions of healthcare services. The course considers the paradox of the U.S. healthcare delivery system, and how large expenditures on health care have not resulted in best outcomes due in part to issues of cost, access, and quality.
