The complexity of today’s health care environment requires financial management across all areas from facilities maintenance to operating room utilization rates. To be effective, health care managers must have the financial literacy to make well-informed and thorough decisions.
SPHA 501 Basic Finance (MHA Year One) will provide a general understanding of financial valuation and quantitative analysis of corporate and individual financing and savings decisions. Bridging finance and administration within a health care context, students will learn the differences in private vs. public sectors systems including government funding cycle and funding sources, and the decision making process and its influencers.
