About This Course

Managing Healthcare is designed to help learners develop competencies for identifying and evaluating emerging markets within the healthcare industry. In this introduction to organizations in healthcare, learners will examine the wide-ranging complexities encountered by management and critique current thinking in management and leadership. Through case analyses and practical healthcare scenarios, learners analyze the global challenges faced within the healthcare industry and develop a sound understanding of what it takes to manage a global health business. Learners gain a solid foundation in understanding and aligning the national health agenda with personal and organizational pledges to population-based wellness. Relationship management with physicians, other providers (such as. physician assistants, APN, RNP), nurses, senior leadership, and other stakeholders is key in building effective networks for achieving common goals. In this course, learners examine applied principles and assessments for developing best practices that enhance individual and team development, self-awareness, innovation, and ethics and professionalism in healthcare settings. Learners will examine the healthcare industry from the perspective of UN SDG Goal #3. Learners will draw upon practices and applications to consider the principles underpinning health services. Learners will gain an overview of global health systems in order to compare and contrast contemporary thinking and practice (including the role of leapfrogging in emerging markets).
