Health services are a highly innovative sector expecting major changes that will require us to rise to challenges such as new health problems, ensuring the satisfaction of citizens with complex health systems, offering priority and fair services and progressing in the notion that individuals are responsible for their own health.
The UOC presents a programme designed to contribute to development of skills of professionals working in the healthcare environment that want to dedicate their efforts to providing services in clinical management.
The training process is based on principles, values and consolidated knowledge and the practical application of learning in the form of activities aimed at critical analysis, assessment and decision-making. It uses a system of simulation integrating situations representative of the real-life operation of healthcare environments.
It is both a challenge and an opportunity for the UOC to contribute to the structuring and development of new studies, helping to train healthcare professionals for the new millennium, while offering a response to the steady, rising demand for training in this field of knowledge.
The implementation of clinical management involves adding the difficulties related to resistance to change and organisational challenges to the complexity of the theoretical design of the tools used.
In this specialisation programme, special emphasis is given to actual application of experiences in clinical management to make difficulties encountered evident and to clearly show how these initiatives have been integrated in specific environments that have accepted these changes.
It is an approach to the actual application of clinical management. The objective is focused on seeing where and how the dynamics of clinical management are currently applied. It is perhaps more important to be aware of what applied clinical management is, of the constraints, of the personal skills of those who lead, of the ways to implement clinical management in current organisations and of the actual results that can be expected. The main objective is to analyse the actual effectiveness of clinical management beyond its theoretical efficiency.
Professionals taking part in the programme may contribute the following skills to their organisation in their present and future roles and positions:
- Integration of clinical management key foundations, organisation of healthcare processes and equitable and optimal use of available resources.
- Application and interpretation of financial criteria for the generation and production of resources, negotiation of financing, budget design and management and expenditure control.
- Assessment and interpretation of results and evaluation of successful actions and errors to ensure continuous improvement.
