Governance can be seen as the means whereby the issues of quality in care can be addressed. It can be defined as a comprehensive approach towards governing a healthcare organization rather than an addition sum of methods and measures. Whilst this course focuses principally on governance matters in the Dutch Health Service, it also includes case studies from healthcare organisations around the world. Students will become familiar with the meaning of governance and with ways to assess, organize and structure changes in healthcare organisations.
