Health Policy Issues
This course will introduce graduate nursing students to general health policy with a clinical approach. The focus of study in this course is to look at health policy as well as individual patients and caregivers and how they interact with each other and with the overall health systems. Health policy affects the patients we see on a daily basis, and the finances of health in the United States influences the care that is offered depending upon public or private health care funding. This course content will help bridge the gap separating the micro-world of individual patient and the macro universe of health policy.
