BUS 772 - Health Economics, 3 credit hours

The value of economics stems from its usefulness in making sense out of complex economic and social issues, including issues in healthcare. This course will use economics and integrated systems thinking to better understand the interrelationships between our healthcare stakeholders in order to foster a true shared vision that benefits the stakeholders and society as a whole. This course will also allow you to better understand the mechanisms of the health care delivery system within the broad social, political, and economic contexts. Finally, this course will use economics as a framework to better analyze public health policy.
