Description
The subtitle of this course is “Moving from volume to value : health care professionals improve health care delivery in diverse populations.”
In this fundamentals course students will be challenged to understand the current developments in health care. With rising costs, personnel shortages, improved technological possibilities and a changing epidemiology the need for a more population oriented instead of a disease-oriented approach is emphasized. Basic principles of this population oriented approach, called Population Health Management (PHM) are taught. For all various components of this PHM-approach we will scratch the surface during this course so the student understands the whole picture. This course can be seen as the framework of the whole master programme. In the following courses the various components of PHM will be studied more in depth. The interdisciplinary character of PHM becomes clear.
