OCOM 6012 - Health Systems Science 1
This is the first in a series of courses in Health Systems Science and will serve as the framework for the additional coursework across the UME curricula in health systems. We will examine medical history related to the progression of the health system, insurance and payor history, and how patient communications and strong teamwork impact patient safety.
The purpose of this course is to provide experiences across the multiple topic threads of Health Systems Science utilizing the cross-cutting domains of health systems thinking to relate these to active experiences in their continuity clinical settings. Experiences include participating in interprofessional teams, working on population health outcomes across panels/populations of patients and participating in quality and care model process improvement utilizing multiple skills and knowledge presented. Over additional semesters, these Health systems domains skills will build on previous skills and experiences.
Credit Hours: 3
