OCOM 7013 - Health Systems Science 5
This is the fifth in a series of courses in Health Systems Science and serves as framework for additional coursework across the UME curricula in health systems, which is incorporated into a combined course in clinical and health systems medicine. We focus on population health management across multiple contexts, medical and otherwise. Activities include employing Electronic Health Records to manage population-level data, understanding the connections between that data and payment, and describing the concurrent financial management practices used in complex delivery systems. Students also hear from experts about the history of community development, the intersection of behavioral health and criminal justice, as well as the role and function of ethics in clinical settings. They will address public and population health through the construction of a community orientated project addressing a high-risk health population leveraging the skills and knowledge developed over the course of the program in quality improvement, systems thinking and community based organizations and population medicine.
