Product Description:

The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the origins, components, organization, and operation of the health system in the United States and to introduce key issues that will need to be addressed in the future. Health care includes both acute and long term care; our definition of disabilities is broad and refers to mental health, substance abuse, and developmental disabilities. The course emphasizes home health services, Medicaid and Medicare, managed care, integrated service delivery systems, medical home, and other health care changes. This course should provide you with the opportunity to connect U.S. Health care system issues with your own professional experiences and issues related to public policy, the concerns of people with disability, and those who are un-served or underserved.
