Catalog description

In a survey format, this course will introduce tenets of healthcare business, and how operations and business status introduce potential legal issues. In order to explore these issues, we will introduce the variety and types of healthcare businesses and organizations and their attendant financial operations, as well as the types of relationships and situations that give rise to potential lawsuits (including fiduciary trust relationships between physicians and patients and insurers and their customers, and the government and its citizens or residents).
