Principles of Health Organization Management and Leadership
Rapid organizational changes, increased regulatory and environmental
pressures, monitoring of the quality and safety of patient
care, and the impact of technology are changing the face of
how and where health care is delivered and presenting major
challenges to those who lead health care organizations. The
health care leader must possess a toolkit of skills to meet
these challenges. This course introduces the fundamentals
of health care management, leadership, and organizational
dynamics, including understanding the role of the leader;
the importance of leadership; the structure and function of
health care organizations; human resources issues; and managerial
and leadership skills, such as communication, problem solving,
decision making, team building, and power and influence. Finally,
because the leader is critical to the organization's success,
participants learn how to define and measure organizational
performance. Students are expected to demonstrate effective
group management and analyze typical health care management
scenarios.
Required course in Certificate in Health Care Management and
Leadership. This course is open to all students; certificate
candidacy is not required to enroll.

Our nation's
health care providers and delivery systems conduct their varied
activities under an array of complex state and federal laws.
Because the delivery of health care is a dynamic rather than
a static function, the laws that govern those activities are
ever-changing. Taught by expert health lawyers, this course
presents the fundamental legal structure that affects the
provision of health care in the United States. Topics include
an overview of the history and development of the present
U.S. health care industry, overview of the law-making and
judicial process, health care fraud and abuse, regulatory
compliance, contract and tort law issues in the health care
industry, medical staff licensure and credentialing, Medicare
and Medicaid program participation requirements, the Emergency
Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, consent and advance
directives, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA), self-referral laws, and health care organizations
as business entities.
