Program Overview
In Doha, we will focus on Healthcare Management and will introduce foundational frameworks for understanding the interactions between the key players of a healthcare system. We will explore the key strategic decisions of healthcare organizations, discuss how operational process design can function as a key enabler of strategy and introduce approaches that can guide the development of patient-centric services.
We will also examine how digital transformation in healthcare is driving change and innovation in both managerial decision-making and delivery and explore the role of entrepreneurial efforts.
Throughout these discussions we will emphasize the key challenges of leadership in modern healthcare organizations and how to succeed in empowering employees. Our discussions will be based on examples from different healthcare systems worldwide and we will further observe in action several of the discussed concepts and tools at leading local organizations. In New York, we will focus on Healthcare Policy and explore its utility, components and indicators. Further, we will cover the basis and principles of health economics and the incentives to pay for care delivery. We will also discuss how the healthcare sector is financed from private and governmental resources, and how to set priorities and forecast expenditures.
The economic evaluation methods in healthcare will have their share in this week as we discuss the measurement and valuing of benefits of new treatments.
