MGT 760 - Healthcare Policy, Law & Ethics, 3 credit hours

This course discusses major State and Federal laws applicable to health care, the policy development process, and reviews major health policy milestones. For each section, both the law and the policy behind the law and whether the reason for the law is being met will be discussed. The goal of this class is not for students to become experts in the law, but for students to be able to identify potential legal issues at their work. For instance, the goal is not for students to be able to perform a complicated Stark Law analysis, but instead for the student to be given tools for identifying when a Stark Law problem may exist in a certain scenario and to be able to know when to ask for legal assistance.
