PH 128 Health Systems

Improving the health of populations requires understanding of health systems.  This course identifies some of the current challenges facing health systems and how different countries address them (or not) through their specific approaches. These approaches include financing, organization, delivery and oversight of their health systems.  The course emphasizes systems thinking and payment systems.  Evaluating the potential impact of health systems on the health of populations and equity are key aspects of the course.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
