Cr Hrs: 3 (3-0)

This course advances the learner’s knowledge of the economics of health and health care. Students critically examine the theories and concepts of economics as they apply to the health care market and the financing and delivery of personal health care in the United States. Selected international systems of financing and delivering health care are reviewed as a point of comparison. Particular attention is paid to the impact health economics has on patients, delivery systems, providers of care and advanced nursing practice. Students critically analyze the influence of economics on the practice, design and reform of health care in the United States and the role the Doctor of Nursing Practice has in structuring and revising the policies for each.
