This course is designed for the nursing administrator or health care administrator to develop skills in interpretation of epidemiology, social determinants of health and large data bases in creating a fundamentally different culture and perspective in their organization focused on wellness and prevention. Students in this course will examine how healthcare delivery systems, public health agencies, community based organizations and other entities work together to assess needs and improve the health outcomes in the communities they serve.
