Population Health Management Course Governance

Population Health Management Course - Governance (leading expert: Public Administration) (course 2) is about Health care professionals face ageing populations, rising health care costs, fragmented health care supply and advancing medical technologies and IT systems. Integration of care requires more and more collaboration between professionals and organizations in health care networks. Apparent competing interests need to be aligned for the health of the individual and population. These developments go beyond every day practice and do require advanced competences in governance and organizational – and planning skills for health care professionals, management and leaders of related organizations.

Theoretical lectures and methodology will be complemented with practical work through the Population and Governance Lab with and within the population and organizations in The Hague area. This winter course is an in-depth addition to the knowledge acquired during the PHM Summercourse, but is also very valuable for those who are new to the subject PHM. It is open to Summercourse students as well as to new applicants. 

The Population Health Management, Governance (PHM-governance) course aims at 

• Professionals who are able to work together in enhancing the health care system and advocating health care solutions in the broadest sense. 
• Professionals who want to take responsibilities and organize an integrated approach to improve health in defined risk populations.
