What BUSI 629 covers
Lee's Economics for Healthcare Managers is read two or three chapters a module/week, each with a presentation and an open-book quiz of four to ten questions and thirty minutes.
A thread runs 600 to 800 words with at least two citations, and each of two replies runs 300 to 400 words with at least one. The research project is a 25-page applied economic analysis with twenty references under ten years old, submitted as an annotated bibliography of 50 to 75 word entries, an outline, a full draft and a revised final paper.
Focused on the economics of healthcare, this course will explore how healthcare economics is unique. Students will be exposed to different techniques used for economic assessment of economic evaluation studies and related publications. For-profit and not-for-profit provider firms, information problems in healthcare markets, regulation, financing of healthcare, and healthcare reform issues will be explored.

Where BUSI 629 papers lose points
Students lose points in BUSI 629 when they describe a policy without using the economic concept the week assigns, when numbers are quoted without saying what they imply for a manager's choice, when replies fall under 300 words or carry no citation and when the research paper's references are older than ten years.
Using a BUSI 629 sample well
Each sample starts with a decision and a number, names the economic concept that frames it, tests the concept against a recent study and ends with what a manager should do. Swap in a decision from your own organization and keep the habit of asking what changes at the margin.
