NL:
De module is onderdeel van de “international classroom”; vandaar beschrijvingen enkel in het Engels.
EN:
Healthcare organizations today face a wide range of complex challenges, including digital disruption, the impacts of climate change, epidemics, an ageing population, workforce shortages, and limited collaboration between healthcare professionals. Addressing these issues requires an entrepreneurial approach to management: one that focuses on identifying new opportunities and implementing innovative, well-designed solutions. In this course, students will explore how healthcare organizations operate and how to effectively manage the people within them. They will gain insight into operational and strategic management, and learn how entrepreneurial thinking can help healthcare organizations thrive in a rapidly changing environment. The course is structured in two parts. During the first four weeks, students are introduced to key theories in organization and management, as well as operational and strategic management in healthcare. This theoretical component concludes with a written exam. In the second part of the course, after the exam, students apply their knowledge in practice. Working in teams of five, they develop and present an innovative solution to a real-world healthcare challenge using the Business Model Canvas. In the final week, students pitch their solutions to a panel of experts, including representatives from health insurers, CEOs of healthcare organizations, and innovation experts.
