KINE 5379. FUNDAMENTALS OF POPULATION HEALTH. 3 Hours.

Public health is charged with advancing health while reducing health care costs. This requires us to move away from a reactionary model of health care delivery and towards models of disease prevention and health promotion. Students will consider how collaborations among organizations within and outside the health care system, and the integration of public health into clinical care, impacts population health. The course will use case studies and applied learning to discuss the role of incentives, financing, data, measurement, structure of health care delivery, and policy in advancing population health.
