COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Master of Healthcare Redesign has been developed for healthcare professionals and administrators who are passionate about helping people and improving the way our health services are delivered to patients and consumers. The course equips students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to drive evidence-based health service improvement within their own healthcare organizations.
Delivered over 3 years, this flexible online program with optional masterclasses is designed to fit around the busy lives of professionals working in the healthcare industry:
build your practical skills and enhance your research capabilities
develop your expertise in planning, implementation and evaluation of evidence-based health service improvements
develop your advanced problem solving and analytical skills to help ‘diagnose’ service delivery issues and inefficiencies
implement solutions that can lead to lasting change, improved service delivery and sustainable health care
learn from and be mentored by a team of passionate clinicians and academics with contemporary, real-world expertise
The first two years of the course are designed to combine concrete theory with experiential learning as students acquire the knowledge and skills to undertake a workplace improvement project. Students can address numerous constraints and issues inherent in health service delivery across primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare, such as protracted wait times, care coordination and integration, access and referral across services, and timely treatment and discharge. In the third year of the course, students can select from three pathways: research, coursework or professional practice (leadership development). The course is designed to provide students with the freedom and flexibility to explore topics that are of interest and relevance to them.
