IHLM Professional Certificate in Healthcare Strategy & Strategic Planning

Overview

Healthcare managers play a critical role in both formulating and delivering strategic plans – and this role is no longer limited to just top managers and leaders. Many healthcare professionals working at the frontline of care delivery, as well as administrators, are also expected to understand the strategic position of their organization or department and write business cases for a new service or project.

This programme will enable professionals from all types of healthcare organisations and services to understand their current strategic situation, formulate new strategies, and then deliver them successfully.

Using case studies from hospitals, clinics and healthcare systems, this interactive progamme will show you how to deliver plans that can improve your organisation's performance, determine its future direction, help introduce new services, optimise resource allocation, meet regulatory or accreditation requirements, or simply deliver your current vision and mission.

Content

The progamme is divided into three modules and includes detailed instruction in:

• Understanding Your Strategic Position– through detailed analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
• Formulating Your Strategy– by evaluating and choosing properly from all the available options
• Making Strategy Happen– through the practical actions that have to be undertaken in order to actually implement a strategy successfully
