The course spans six modules designed to elucidate the intricate relationship between healthcare practice and health policy. It delves into why understanding health policy is crucial for healthcare professionals, examines the interplay between health policy and economic behavior, explores the policy-making process, and addresses the reasons behind policy failures.

Course Objectives
This module underscores why healthcare professionals must grasp health policy principles. It emphasizes that health policy influences every facet of the healthcare system, affecting both the delivery and quality of care. Knowledge of health policy enables professionals to better navigate the complexities of their roles and actively participate in shaping policies that improve health outcomes.
Participants will learn what constitutes health policy and its ties to economic theories. The module covers key economic concepts such as market failures, common goods, and the role of government in addressing these issues through policy. This understanding is vital for healthcare professionals to grasp how policy decisions can impact economic behavior and resource allocation in healthcare.
This section provides an overview of the policy cycle, from problem identification to policy evaluation. Understanding each stage—agenda setting, formulation, implementation, and evaluation—helps healthcare professionals appreciate the complexities of policy development and the various factors that influence policy effectiveness and adaptability.
The final module addresses common reasons behind policy failures, including misalignment of values, inadequate problem definition, and insufficient analysis of influencing factors. By recognizing these pitfalls, healthcare professionals can better anticipate potential issues and advocate for more effective policy solutions.
