course Description
Managing a healthcare project carries complex concerns not always found in traditional healthcare management. This course enables participants to learn and practice the tools and techniques needed for project management roles in healthcare. Participants will learn how to identify and execute appropriate planning, organizing, and controlling steps for projects, while ensuring quality. Additionally, several best practices in healthcare project management will be covered: negotiation, communication, risk management, change management, and coordination between the project and management, clients, users, team members, and support groups.
This is an online, mostly asynchronous course. There will be three synchronous meetings as a class, and you will be assigned to a group with whom you will work on a case study throughout the course.
