HSM - 688B Topics in Health Systems Management: Case Competition

The overall goal of this course is to apply the information learned from previous and current coursework, as well as substantive case research, to address a problem that is important to health care management and delivery. In this course, students will develop a set of high quality, compelling recommendations aimed toward senior-level stakeholders that will be presented in the form of an oral presentation to RUSH faculty and senior leadership and at a nationally sponsored case competition (e.g., National Association of Health Services Executives and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, among others). As students prepare for the case competition, they will identify and apply complex concepts to develop recommendations in response to the case study through online research, literature reviews and interviews with clinical and practitioner faculty. In advance of the case competition, students will also present at least two professional oral presentations to Health Systems Management faculty and RUSH staff. Offered: spring.
