Applied Management of Healthcare Services (Bachelor, job-concurrent degree)

Due to the changes in the health and social system as well as the demographic change and the associated challenges, the health and social system is also in a constant process of change. The Applied Care Management course takes into account the increasing demands as well as new tasks and fields of action in care professions.

In addition to management skills, the course also teaches analytical and strategic skills. In combination with comprehensive theoretical knowledge of the changing tasks in the care sector and the health economics, health policy and social law framework, this course enables you to take on supra-institutional administrative and controlling activities in health and care facilities.

The focus is on employees who work in the healthcare-sector and provide healthcare-related services. For this reason, the course also addresses skills for leadership, employee motivation and personnel development.

Course Objectives:

  • Acquisition of knowledge about strategic and operational management tasks in health and social care as well as consulting skills
  • Qualification for conceptual development and networking of healthcare service companies as well as qualification for conceptual handling of limited resources
  • Acquisition of knowledge about quality management systems, risk management, company health management and their implementation
