In this subject students will focus on health care organisations from a strategic and operational management perspective considering evidence informed decision making, financial and resource management and human resource management. Students will cultivate an understanding of the key components of both strategic and operations management for effective outcomes within health care systems and organisations. This subject encompasses the fundamentals to inform strategic decision making and the action required to determine organisational success.
