Healthcare Policy, Innovation and Management

How can we implement homecare technologies effectively and efficiently? How can we optimise the respective involvement of state and private players in healthcare? How best to guarantee universal access to a fair package of health services? And how to maintain quality while containing costs? The key to all these issues is the need for innovation. Gaining new knowlegde, applying existing knowledge in a new way, developing new tasks and activities - this programme brings together both theory and practice in its focus on innovation. And it does so on all possible levels, from micro -to macro-level, from individual organisations to national healthcare systems, from patient relations to the process of caretaking. You learn how to analyse situations in which innovations are needed, come up with innovative solutions, implement and manage these solutions, and critically evaluate and improve them. The programma also emphasises the importance of practical, hands-on training in conducting your own research. This a one-year full-time or two-year part-time programme taught in English.
