In this course, students focus on the strategic resource management process in an organizational setting. As leaders in the health care field, students explore resource management within the context of the health care mission, planning resource allocation, program implementation, and program evaluation. Students will have the opportunity to assess their organization’s current strategic position and apply relevant theoretical models in health care settings to adjust management practices in a changing health care environment. Students can also address the organizational dynamics and change management processes of integrated health systems and their networks of hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, group practices and ancillary services.
