The course will review the evolution of Healthcare in the U. S., explore the structure of the current system, and consider the impact of emerging trends on the provision of health in the future. Various components and stakeholders will be identified, with special attention on the diversity of care options and evolving roles of government as a funding source and regulator. Developments in national Healthcare policy, the cost-quality-access conundrum, and the expansion of Healthcare reimbursement options will be examined.
