Health Care Management and Policy
|
|
|
The concentration in health care management policy focuses on the management, financing and economics of the health care sector. Students learn about health care markets and factors that significantly influence decision making both at the policy level and at the level of the firm or organization. The health care sector includes government agencies, non-profit institutions, major private corporations, medical practices and partnerships, and many small and early-stage health care service and product firms.
Health care related organizations are usually categorized into three groups: Providers (hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, nurses and other practitioners), Payers ( Medicare, Medicaid, managed care organizations, private insurance companies), and Suppliers (pharmaceutical/biotechnology firms, medical device firms, diagnostic and medical equipment companies, health care IT and e-health vendors and other specialized product firms). In addition, there are many service firms which specialize in health care including consulting, investment banking, private equity, and venture capital firms. Students gain solid understanding of the interrelationships among and incentives upon payers, providers and suppliers.
Students in the concentration are prepared for careers as managers in health care companies or health care service firms such as consulting, banking or health care IT companies or in government agencies. Students planning careers in the health professions such as medicine, nursing or dentistry have found the concentration very useful in understanding the context in which they will be working.
