Description
In Project Case II the acquired Population Health Management knowledge and skills will be applied to a real-life case. The group assignment will be carried out in close collaboration with the actual workfield and will be done in parallel with the courses of the first year’s second semester. The students set up a collaboration with their health care actor of interest, which can be for example a care/cure organization, municipality, health insurance company. Together with the workfield, a real-life problem is defined. Through discussions with the group, research, field work, collaborations, and experiences, the students apply and integrate the various ingredients of the PHM approach. The case is finalized with a presentation and written report.
Course objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student:
