NURS 6101 - Policy and Politics in Nursing and Healthcare

(3 sem. cr.) An important responsibility in the nursing profession is to stay current on factors changing the healthcare delivery system so that individual goals and practices align to overarching healthcare needs. In this course, students engage in a critical analysis of socioeconomic, political, legal, ethical, and global factors that affect nursing and healthcare delivery. Through written and case study applications, students examine issues of cost, quality, and access with emphasis on healthcare reform, including financing and payment systems, delivery models, health information management, and the integration of healthcare services to affect safety and quality. Students also explore inter-professional practice issues as well as nursing’s involvement in health policy and advocacy.
