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's proposal has been designed to contribute to the development of the skills of healthcare professionals and similar disciplines training with a focus on the governance, management and organisation of the planning, purchasing and contracting of health services, the clinical management of the provision of services, the design of information systems and the management of healthcare knowledge.
The health system governance and management programme takes an in-depth look at the knowledge and practical applications of real situations in the sector. It develops the professional skills for carrying out tasks related to planning, management, the design of health plans, governance and the management and leadership of health organisations.
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.
Many professionals can find in the UOC a suitable model for their training expectations, time limitations and professional commitments to qualification and career progress.
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.
