Health Care Administration and Management

You will acquire knowledge and skills in the organizational and managerial aspects of health care. We will apply behavioral and organizational theory and management principles to health care settings. These principles will include organizational models, supervision, employee evaluation, problem solving, productivity management, group leadership, and case studies. In this Writing Intensive designated course, you will spend significant time focusing on the writing process. Writing is crucial to this discipline, because clear, accurate, and professional communication is essential to the effective management and administration of health care organizations. In communicating with industry clients in a management role, your credibility depends on professional presentations, appropriate tone and voice, and the logical articulation of your analysis of issues in the field. By learning how to write efficiently and effectively as a health care professional, you will be able to convey information to relevant stakeholders concisely and with precision.
