Course Description
This foundational course explores the leadership qualities required of executives in healthcare organizations committed to achieving value-based performance goals. It focuses on approaches to leadership in a variety of organizational contexts and takes a lerner-centered approach to supporting each student in identifying his or her strengths and leadership assets. Understanding the leadership process and development of self-awareness and skills necessary to lead effectively are emphasized. Particular attention is placed on the ethical considerations of the decision-making process and management of major strategic and organizational change initiatives in a post-Affordable Care Act healthcare landscape. Students will learn how to manage the ethical issues related to administrative and biomedical problems resulting from financial constraints, advances in technology, and population-based accountable care models of healthcare delivery. Case studies, discussion, role playing, and guest speakers provide students with new insights into the roles, challenges, and critical decision-making skills of executives in regard to such issues as performance improvement, mergers and acquisitions, consolidations, restructuring, practice management, strategic planning, technology use, and mHealth.
