The health care industry changes quickly, and in complex ways. Health care is affected by rapid shifts in technology, economics, ethics, finance, policy, and management. For more than three decades, USC Price faculty have kept pace — leading the field in research on all aspects of our health care system. Faculty examine hospital administration, insurance design, Medicare and allied health partnerships, service delivery, and health economics, as well as analyze the global consequences of policy affecting pharmaceutical and medical device innovation.
