Healthcare 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 the 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.

The postgraduate programme takes a look at from the healthcare system framework and the actual implementation of experiences in clinical management. The first specialisation programme describes the system framework and its organisational, legal and economic constraints as well as the personal and professional skills that must be enhanced to be able to lead the dynamics of clinical management.

The second specialisation attempts to review actual experiences in hospitals as well as the continuity between the different healthcare levels. The approach focuses on prompting discussion of the more critical aspects of the application of different experiences and their results and, above all, learning to manage their implementation.

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.

• Leadership, innovation and management of the processes of health organisations.

• Leadership of work teams, individuals, their career expectations and their contribution to action, improvement and change in their health organisation.

• 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.
