Financial management is intrinsic to the introduction of new initiatives and strategies; operational management and the development of business cases in support of change management will always be reliant on financial criteria being satisfied. The healthcare sector is of growing importance throughout the world. In more advanced economies, it is frequently more than 10% of GDP. Accordingly, the financial significance of management decisions is of enormous significance and necessitates healthcare managers to be equipped with a deep understanding of financial management. This module provides you with a critical understanding of the sources and uses of finance for organisations operating in a healthcare context and focuses on the management of financial and other resources to optimise organisational performance. Through the lectures, relevant reading and seminar activities you will be introduced to the theory and practice of performance management and control. The role of budgets and budgetary control are critically evaluated and alternatives beyond budgeting are explored to ensure the organisation's strategic goals are achieved. Through the learning and assessment strategy, you will incorporate the thinking behind integrated reporting, which acknowledges non-financial forms of capital such as human, intellectual, social and natural capital, as well as financial capital into your construction of a balanced scorecard. Strategic Management in HealthcareThe development and implementation of strategy is key to the success of any healthcare organisation. Healthcare managers need to understand the key tools for formulating and implementing strategies for a wide range of healthcare organisations including not only service providers but also pharma and medical technology businesses. Strategy is a key factor in determining the long-term growth of any organisation: not only in terms of growth in sales but also in terms of being able to navigate a constantly changing business environment. This module adopts a theoretical as well as practical perspective on the development of strategy for healthcare organisations. The module investigates the manner in which organisations adapt to changing environments. Strategy tools of application to the healthcare sector are considered and applied to practical business scenarios. The challenges of implementing strategy are reviewed. Each week we shall examine key theories of strategy and consider their application in real life situations. Case studies are integral to the module and consideration is given to a wide range of different settings. This module provides students with a key set of strategy and business improvement tools. The module is aimed at providing you with a thorough understanding of the practical application of these tools. Many of the classic business tools such as PESTLE and Boston Box are included. Additionally, key tools related to business improvement such as Benchmarking and the Balanced Scorecard are evaluated. We also examine the changing environment for businesses and consider the role of Ecosystems, and Alliances as a form of growth strategy. Healthcare Innovation and Change ManagementFew sectors have experienced the level of innovation seen in healthcare in recent years. The impact of the fourth industrial revolution has presented the sector with opportunities and challenges surrounding innovation and change management. This module explores innovation and change management in the context of healthcare. Theories and processes of innovation and change management are examined in this module. The pressures on the provision of healthcare services necessitate change management – innovation in terms of offering a means of providing greater productivity, improved patient outcomes and cost reductions at the point of delivery. Innovation and change management necessitate new ways of working and operating for healthcare systems. Sometimes these changes can be disruptive at the same time as being beneficial: healthcare professionals need to embrace new practices, and patients will be empowered to demand improve care. This module will begin by considering mega trends such as the impact of artificial intelligence, big data and the rise of telemedicine. The nature of innovation and its theoretical underpinnings is considered, and the role of disruptive innovation is examined. More specifically, examples of product and service innovation in the context of healthcare is reviewed. The challenges to organisations represented by innovation are considered and the role of culture is seen as a crucial factor in determining the success of innovation and change management. The importance of personalisation in the delivery of healthcare solutions and the role of user experience is also considered. Leadership for Healthcare and Social CareLeadership is a core management skill and within healthcare systems and social care there are specific challenges: problems of complexity, rapidly changing delivery patterns as well as severe resource constraints. Despite the enormity of the challenges, there are considerable opportunities for management: the benefits of the fourth industrial revolution has created a myriad of high growth and high impact solutions for managers that require strong leadership if the benefits are to be maximised. Opportunities arising out of the use of artificial intelligence, big data as well as new forms of patient management through personalised healthcare and remote management of patients have already brought tremendous gains where they have been successfully implemented. However for management, the difficulties cannot be under-estimated. The purpose of this module is to introduce the student to key ideas of leadership as well to relate them specifically to healthcare systems. Students are introduced to key ideas of modern leadership theory as well as practical tools that are capable of being used in a wide variety of contexts. Leadership is about achieving organisational success through collaboration and management of organisational resources. Leadership is also about personal development in terms of being the best type of leader: we shall also explore different types of leaders. Healthcare managers have a clear role and responsibility to ensure that issues like employee voice, individual and cultural differences as well as skills development are appropriately and effectively managed. This module provides a strong basis for healthcare managers to embrace the opportunities and challenges of healthcare management.
