Interprofessional Perspectives Health Systems and Policy Development within a Global Context
This course explores health care systems and recognizes that current and future health professionals function within a global context as they care for the health of clients, communities, and societies. Special consideration of health system elements include health human resources, leadership, bio-ethical considerations, health informatics/technologies, quality improvement and knowledge utilization as they influence care outcomes. Attention will be given to how professionals can apply these concepts and principles to political action for the development and implementation of evidence-informed and health care policy that affect individual and population health outcomes.
