Healthcare Management Program

Core Elements

The program is based on six core elements:

Industry-Specific Content

Our program goes well beyond generic management and health policy courses. Following the input of our industry advisors, courses address the multiple perspectives of the healthcare provider, administrator and payor. Topics include:

the interdependencies of the healthcare system
quality improvement
clinical systems management
health finance and economics
the legal and regulatory environment
health information systems as a strategic tool

An Emphasis on Managing and Leading

Some of the biggest challenges facing department heads and team leaders include: motivating and leading an aging and intergenerational workforce, a diverse mix of professionals and employees, growing performance expectations and increasingly complex measurement systems. Our program provides you with frameworks, perspectives and models you need to be an effective leader in the health sector.

A Performance Improvement Framework

Champlain has built performance improvement perspectives and tools into its courses to assist you in making data-driven decisions and creating a workplace environment of continuous quality improvement.

The Strategic Power of Information Systems

The program emphasizes information technology systems that support all facets of the industry. You will leave the program with the knowledge and skills needed to harness the power of information systems to improve the delivery and cost of care.
