In this course, we will revisit topics related to resource planning, understanding cost behavior and cost drives, costing of services (including the application of time‐driven activity‐based‐costing), and the assessment of performance relative to a budget. The case‐based course will provide a deeper dive into these topics using examples from healthcare organizations (e.g., hospitals, clinics, and/or healthcare service providers). The aim of the course is to prepare students working in the healthcare industry to apply modern costing concepts and techniques in their workplace.
     
  • BUS 508 Healthcare Strategy: Strategically Leading Health Care Organizations (1.5 cr) - Gain an understanding of tomorrow’s competitive landscape in health care characterized by regulatory uncertainty, confounded consumers, and the ever-shifting balance of power amongst payers, providers and pharma/devices. All these demand that our health care leaders be clear in their organization’s strategy and simultaneously excel at leading organizational change.
