HA653 Long Term Care Administration
This course focuses on policy and management issues in long term care, in both institutional and non-institutional settings. It covers regulatory, personnel, financial and performance management issues. Students will develop managerial skills and critical insights into a variety of current multifaceted issues, many of which have no simple, single solution. Students are expected to bring some familiarity with the organization, financing, and delivery of health care in the United States, as well as a basic understanding of organizational design, health policy and financing, strategic planning, and program operations. Students with backgrounds in the clinical professions and gerontology, or with an interest in a specific service such as nursing homes or home care agencies, are particularly welcome.
