Introduction
The advanced study program – the Frameworks of Health Care Systems, is recognized by National Authorities and constitutes a Bachelor programme in Health Care leadership with the value of 30 points.
Learning outcome
Crucial priorities of the programme are dialogue, reflection and learning, and where the profound questions of leadership and governance are in focus. The aim is to establish a coherent link between the general framework and practical results. Students are challenged to regard Health Care as an arena of continuous change and improvement where the scientific skills of the professionals combine with skills of leadership and governing.
After the completion of the course, the students are expected to have established insight and overview in the relations between the judicial, economic and organisational framework and day-to-day leadership, thus qualifying for new and demanding tasks.
Positions of leadership in Health Care have traditionally been the privilege of the health professions. Such is not to the same extent the case today. Real competence combined with documented and qualified education will give you a good platform for new challenges..
This course is demanding in the sense that it requires insight in the relations between health sciences, general framework and leadership. The future of Health Care depends on competent leadership at all levels.
There is an increased demand for economic understanding also in the Health Care system.
Having completed this program, the students are expected to have achieved an understanding of the economic factors as relevant elements of prioritisation in health services.
Qualifying for leadership requires ability to balance conflicting interests and relations. The aim of Handelshøyskolen BI is that the students after the completion of the advanced study will be qualified for new and demanding challenges of leadership in health care.
Prerequisites
Necessary prequalifications for the Advanced Study – Framework of Health Care Systems – are completed “Basic study – Practical health care leadership” or “Intensive course in health leadership.
Direct admission is also possible in some cases. Contact student administration for an individual assessment .
