NUR 561 - Population Health, Dei And Care Coordination


Description: This course was designed for nurses and healthcare professionals who need to expand upon existing skills in care coordination management for improvement of population health outcomes. After multiple conversations with nurse leaders throughout the country, the need for nurse and healthcare professionals to lead care coordination with an emphasis on diverse, equitable, and inclusive management skills, and principles across multiple populations arose as a primary need. The recent pandemic also brought home the need for nurse leaders to have systems level thinking, strategic population-based care coordination skills, and principles. This course was designed to help alleviate some of these critical needs in nurse leadership in population health, care coordination with specific emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in partnership with Dignity Health Global Education. This course is not exclusive to nurses and is open to healthcare professionals and others desiring to acquire these skills and economic principles in a systems approach to healthcare organizations. The course can be taken individually (non-degree seeking), as a course in the Graduate Certificate in Strategic Systems Leadership, or the course can stack into the MS in Nursing Strategic Systems Leadership degree. Letter grade only.
