An economists’ perspective illuminating the systems behavior of Health-Care. Such insights inform strategies for managing/improving Health-care. The survey course introduces key concepts from economics (e.g., micro-economics, trade-offs, opportunity costs, efficiency, equity) that are pivotal to this illumination. The unique attributes of health-care (e.g., uncertainty of demand and information asymmetry) and the incentives (some perverse) that ensue are discussed. Indices of population health impact and their links to health economic valuation are covered, including cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost analysis.
