HCMG 4000 - Managing the Post-Acute Healthcare Continuum


Credit Hours: 3
This course addresses conceptual, interpersonal and business skills associated with managing post-acute healthcare organizations that provide continued care for special populations. With the changing demographics, by the late 2020’s, the majority of Americans will be over the age of 65 and 20 percent of them will need some form of assisted care. As health care’s traditional care providers focus on a care continuum, a critical strategic consideration for health systems is development of effective post-acute care networks that enable them to deliver cost-effective, high-quality care in the right place at the right time. The content builds expert knowledge of all aspects of long-term care management, including operations, human resources, patient advocacy, and information systems. It also emphasizes the latest understandings of the long-term care continuum and patient-centered care for diverse populations.This is a hybrid 1 course with 75% of the content delivered on line and 25% in scheduled sessions with instructor during the semester.

Prerequisite(s): Students must have completed all HCMG 3000 level coursework. Students must have proficiencies with Blackboard or equivalent Fairmont State University e-learning System.
