NURS-640 Regulatory and Risk Mgmt Healthcare
This course examines how health care policy and regulation, (whether it is created through governmental actions, institutional decision making, or organizational standards), creates a framework that can facilitate or impede the delivery of health care services or the ability of the provider to engage in practice to address health care needs. Course content examines the external and internal regulations common to multiple care delivery systems, including health disparities, cultural sensitivity, ethics, the internationalization of health care concerns, access to care, quality of care, health care financing, and issues of equity and social justice in the delivery of health care.
