OCTHÂ 53903. Introduction to Health Systems and Policy. 3 Hours.
This course presents an introduction to health systems and policy and explores their influence on both the scope of OT practice and the everyday things that people do. Understanding the policymaking process, the US healthcare system (including health insurance and reform), and the intertwining of policy with politics will prepare students to thrive in the super-complex world of everyday practice. Students will survey transformations taking place across US healthcare and how these changes are influencing OT service delivery and reimbursement. Students will be encouraged to envision how OT could be delivered outside of traditional settings to meet the occupational needs of people, communities, and society. Corequisite: °¿°ä°Õ±áÌý51302.
