BUS 613 - Managing Community & Population Health

3 Credits

Managing Community and Population Health, addresses health rather than healthcare, and focuses on the developing public policies and business models that are rapidly emerging in response to the national realization that merely treating disease not only will not create a healthy populace, it will overwhelm GDP and the country. The underpinnings of community and population health are clinical management and public health promotion and disease prevention, all recently enhanced by technology that supports a consumer-centric health system guided by data/analytics, benchmarks, and evidence based practice, within a continuum of care newly defined in the era of the Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act and the Triple Aim. This course integrates the clinical, policy and business aspects of Community and Population Health to educate future leaders who will find themselves in the middle of the transition from healthcare to health systems.
