Introduction
Shortages, both financial and in terms of staffing, while demand for care is increasing. This is one of the ‘wicked problems’ in healthcare that urgently requires a different approach. As a healthcare organization, how do you ensure that productivity increases while maintaining or even improving the quality of care and employee satisfaction? And how can organizations within the healthcare sector that do not provide care themselves contribute to the solution based on a better understanding of the operational challenges faced by healthcare organizations?
In the Advanced Program The (Healthcare) Organization as an Ecosystem, you will learn how to turn scarcity into new opportunities. These opportunities arise by viewing the healthcare organization as an ecosystem that can only achieve the highest level of operational efficiency by leveraging synergy.
Within the system as a whole, you also discover what role AI will play, and where it strengthens cohesion or instead strains it.
A standalone Advanced Program or stackable as a module within the MHA
By participating in this program, you will complete a module of TIAS’s Executive Master of Health Administration. You will learn, discuss and collaborate with participants taking the full MHA, immediately immersing you in an ambitious and strategic learning environment. This module can be taken as a standalone Advanced Program and, should you choose to continue later, can count toward the full Executive Master of Health Administration.

You understand financial legislation, financial conditions, financial decision-making, and developments in the field of finance in healthcare and healthcare organizations.
In relation to retaining and attracting healthcare professionals, you will delve into human resource management and how this task relates to other healthcare management tasks.
You will develop knowledge, insights, and skills that will enable you to optimize daily operational processes in the service of better patient care, lower costs, a healthier society, and higher employee satisfaction.
About this program
The Advanced Program features a blended learning design. The online component combines live, instructor-led sessions with individual learning that can be completed at a time of your choice. The in-person component consists of three two-day class sessions at TIAS in Utrecht. This blended design creates an optimal learning environment and maximizes learning outcomes. From the joint online kick-off session onward, participants are equipped with the tools and knowledge they need to engage in high-level discussions during the in-person sessions and inspire one another with new insights for their own organizations.
During the interactive class sessions, the theoretical knowledge covered is explored in greater depth and breadth and translated into practice through assignments, discussions, and exercises. You complete the program by writing a paper on a business challenge within your own organization. In this paper, you apply the knowledge, insights, and skills gained through the class sessions and assignments to analyze an operational issue within your organization.
