Synopsis
This unit examines the ways in which the organisation and delivery of health services is structured. The broader context in which disease and illness occur is also discussed.
The unit considers the Australian health care system in detail and the global context of health systems and health inequalities. It explores two areas: health policy and service delivery systems; and illness and health in the context of social, cultural and behavioural systems.
Areas covered include: health systems, health policy, health funding, quality in health systems, models of health, population health, and health and human rights.
