In this course, we will break down the essential elements of the US healthcare delivery system. You’ll learn about the roles of hospitals, clinics, insurers, and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. We’ll explore how care is coordinated across multiple settings, the complexities of healthcare financing, and the critical challenges such as cost containment, quality improvement, and equitable access to services. Additionally, we will examine the impact of emerging technologies, data analytics, and ongoing policy reforms aimed at improving healthcare outcomes. Our goal is to equip you with critical knowledge to understand healthcare operations, financing, and outcomes from both a patient and system perspective. By the end, you’ll be able to analyze how different stakeholders—including providers, payers, patients, and regulators—interact within this intricate system, and how policies directly influence patient experiences, health equity, and public health at large.We will also discuss the social determinants of health and how factors such as socioeconomic status, race, geography, and education contribute to disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
