Sharpen your health management skills and gain the business understanding necessary to optimize patient care.
While many healthcare professionals start practicing with limited knowledge of business management, there is likely a point in their career when they’re not just taking care of patients, but also taking care of an organization-at-large. Today, there is a dramatically increased demand for clinicians and health services managers who understand the operational and economic impact of their everyday business decisions.
The eight-week Healthcare Management online program from Yale School of Management Executive Education gives you a fundamental grounding in the business principles and organizational practices of the U.S. healthcare system.
Throughout the program, you’ll learn practical health administration and operational skills to help you optimize patient care, manage finances, and enhance operations. Whether you’re medically trained or a professional working within the sector, you’ll gain the organizational skills required to effectively manage and lead as a healthcare provider. Program convenor and former CEO of Yale Medicine, Dr. Paul Taheri will help you leverage management skills and techniques to run more efficient hospitals, become a more effective leader in the industry, and, most importantly, optimize patient care.
This program bridges the gap between clinical training and essential organizational, managerial, and leadership responsibilities. With modules designed to specifically shed light on the U.S. healthcare system, you’ll gain an introduction to practical business topics with real-world application, including payment plans and structures, budgeting strategies, funding, compensation, compliance, and quality assurance. You’ll also explore the macroeconomic forces that have shaped the current healthcare system, and examine the place of hospitals, group practices, and other organizations within the sector.
COVID-19 has revealed the value, necessity, and power of quality leadership in healthcare. While the program was designed and developed just prior to the pandemic, its lessons of business operations and leadership remain relevant to leaders and emerging leaders in healthcare.
