HS 422G — Healthcare Technology

Yields quarter course credit.

The objective of this abbreviated one-credit course is to develop an understanding of the role of science and technology in health care settings. Through case studies of technology companies (pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and information technology), you will examine how firms manage the creation, development, adoption, and spread of medical innovations in the context of a cost-constrained marketplace. You will also use current academic literature and newspaper articles to discuss how clinicians, hospitals, insurers, and federal agencies can affect technological progress. Usually offered every year.
