Management Instruments for Healthcare Services
This programme is taught in Portuguese and addresses the Portuguese reality.
Health services face profound challenges that were aggravated by the situation experienced during the Covid19 pandemic. Resources are increasingly scarce (particularly in the public sector) to respond to the increased needs (delay in diagnoses and treatments and new situations of disability resulting from the pandemic), which requires professionals and institutions to be able to better manage form the resources at your disposal. To this end, they should know how to interpret economic evaluation studies (topic of the module “Methodologies for Efficiency in Health Services”), be able to assess the interest in carrying out investments in health equipment and technologies (“Financial Planning in Health Services”), Health”), to define and control the execution of budgets and program contracts (“Budget Planning and Management”) and, finally, to think in an innovative way by creating structures and cultures that promote innovation (“Innovation in Health”).
