The Master of Healthcare Redesign has been developed for healthcare professionals and administrators who are passionate about helping people, and improving the way our health services are delivered to patients and consumers. There are significant pressures on current health services both locally and broadly. Increased demand for services, driven by factors including the ageing population, expensive technology, and increasing consumer expectations, is leading to rising health expenditure, and poorer outcomes for patients, families, staff and organisations.
Waste in healthcare is also a big issue. Hospital employees typically spend a high percentage of their time on unproductive activities, or tasks that are not improving patient outcomes. For example, medical/surgical nurses in hospitals around the world typically spend only about 30% of their time on direct patient care.
Our flexible, online course is designed to give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to tackle these challenges head-on. Designed to fit around the existing commitments of busy professionals, you will learn to create sustainable, achievable, and impactful redesign solutions to the numerous constraints and issues inherent in health service delivery across primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare, such as protracted wait times, care coordination and integration, access and referral across services, and timely treatment and discharge.
In the third year, you will select from three pathways – research, coursework, or professional practice (leadership development) – to specialise your learning, and explore topics relevant to your workplace, experience, and interest.
Optional face to face masterclasses are also available to take your knowledge further, and offer networking opportunities with your peers.
As a graduate, you’ll be armed with contemporary skills and knowledge to be an agent of positive change in your workplace.
This course has embedded Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma options. These can be found under the ‘Articulation’ heading on the course page.
