Health care professionals face ageing populations, rising health care costs, fragmented health care supply and advancing medical technologies and IT systems.
These developments go beyond every day practice and will require new competences for not only health care professionals but also of management and leaders of related organisations.

The Population Health Management (PHM) aims at :

• professionals who are able to work together in enhancing the health care system and advocating health care solutions in the broadest sense.
• realising an integrated way of thinking to approach health care subjects
• organizations that transform to integrated health systems.

After this course, students

• understand the reasons why a paradigm shift towards value creation in health care is necessary.
• understand the fundamentals of Population Health Management and how it is linked to value creation.
• appreciate critically the potential effectiveness of PHM
• are able to apply the fundamentals practically in defined populations.
