course promotes the analysis of key health care issues with an emphasis on health care policies and initiatives that
shape health care delivery. An analysis of the current structure of profit versus non-profit health care
organizations, financing health care, and the impact of financial stakeholders will be emphasized. Ethical issues
that develop when government, the private sector, and consumers vie to influence health care are presented as a
component of evidence-based policy revisions. Students are introduced to the different types of research, its
focus, methods, and the nature of their subsequent findings.
