BSH 5000 Behavioral Science and Health Capstone Spring 2006 This course is designed to give coherence to a multi-disciplinary program and to draw the faculty from those disciplines together in a joint effort. Technology and health care will be explored from the perspective of the various disciplines involved in the Behavioral Science & Health program. 0 What is technology as it relates to health care? 0 How do informatics and data management technologies impact health care? 0 How does resource allocation impact the development of technologies? Why are some technologies developed and others not? 0 What is the impact of genetic technologies on screening, diagnostics and treatment of disease? What are the ethical issues of the development and use of genetic technologies?
