Balancing Economics and Medicine for improved outcomes

Economic pressure often is regarded as detrimental to health care quality because the care providers may be influenced by the financials.

Inappropriate indications, too early or too many procedures, as well as too early discharge from hospitals, could lead to fatal consequences for the patients.

On the other hand, there is evidence that lean management and straightforward process optimization result in better medical results and subsequently improved economic outcomes.

We would like to help you solving this dilemma between medicine and economics with this practical course.

Content and goal of the Course

Financial burden impairs medical outcomes
The financial burden correlates with the hospitals` ownership. In emerging economies, e.g., there is a growing trend toward privatization. In markets like India, almost 70% of all the care provided is in the private sector. Typically, such hospitals tend to be more fee for service-oriented.

It is possible that financial outcomes may sometimes outweigh clinical outcomes in such an environment.

Balancing economic parameters and healthcare quality
This course grants a basic yet pragmatic understanding of clinically relevant controlling principles and entrepreneurial risk management. We search for the key performance indicators for balanced overall hospital performance and suitable assessment of parameters pertinent to the daily routine.
