HCA 4900 - Strategy of Healthcare Organizations

3.00 credits.
This comprehensive capstone course examines how healthcare organizations position themselves and strive to compete in today’s rapidly changing marketplace and business environment.  It is designed to integrate the concepts, principles, and practices from the student’s prior healthcare courses.  With the aid of case studies, the course involves a comprehensive study of the interrelationships between management principles, problem analysis, strategy formation and implementation for healthcare organizations. This is a capstone course and therefore intended to be the final course taken in the major. Consultation with the advisor is required in order to register. In the event of large enrollment, preference will be given to graduating seniors.
