NUR 2212 - HEALTH POLICY ANALYSIS: CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Twenty-first century America is marked by deep and seemingly incommensurable divisions in terms of public policy solutions to our most intractable issues. Health policy challenges are not immune to these deep divisions, as the debate during and since the passage of the Affordable Care Act illustrates. Positions on key public policy issues are driven by a variety of philosophical, social, and cognitive phenomena. In this class, we will explore these phenomena and how they drive the derivation, implementation, and evaluation of public policy. We will apply the conceptual understanding of these phenomena to current health policy issues.
