This course focuses on the knowledge and skills required to assure high quality, safe, and efficient family health care outcomes in a variety of practice settings.

Current health policy including the impact of the PPACA as they relate to safe, high quality, effective, equitable, patient centered and efficient care will be addressed. Interdisciplinary team work, collaboration, and positive practice environments will be studied and assessed. Strategies for assuring accountability and reliability in care processes will also be studied, as well as considering healthcare access and cost.
