MGS 670LEC - Health Care Analytics

This course is designed to help students apply core analytics capabilities to the challenging world of health care. It will be split in two separate sessions; the first half being held in the classroom, and the second half dealing with real-world problem solving. Building on core coursework in statistics and predictive modeling, the first half of the class will study the nuances of the health care industry, beginning with the move to value based reimbursement - the foundation upon which the health care analytics movement is based. The second half of the course will utilize the toolbox to analyze payer, provider, patient and social determinant databases and propose 3-4 different opportunities, mutually agreed upon by the corporate partners. The students will be split into project teams, each dealing with a different opportunity.
