GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT


THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE YOU ENTERED ISN’T THE SAME HEALTHCARE YOU’RE DETERMINED
TO LEAD.

UNE’s Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Management program was designed because
healthcare organizations demand leaders who demonstrate competency in change
management, a talent for influencing rather than instructing, strategic problem
solving, and an instinct for innovative thinking.

Healthcare has and continues to experience periods of unprecedented change and
challenge. Healthcare leadership faces the task of doing more with less, meeting
the widespread growth of consumerism across patients, keeping pace with rapid
gains in healthcare technology advancements, and aiming attention towards
population health management among top responsibilities within their roles.

The Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Management prepares you to master the
leadership skills and capabilities required to succeed as a healthcare manager
and lead your team using best practices in communication, strategy, and
collaboration.

You will learn contemporary workforce skills that allow you to stand out in a
competitive marketplace.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATE CURRICULUM

The Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Management requires you to complete 12
credit hours of required courses:


HCA 601: INTRODUCTION TO HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (CREDITS: 3)

This course provides an overview of the history, challenges, and opportunities
facing healthcare administrators today. Topics will include the ongoing
transition from a pay-for-services model of healthcare delivery to accountable
care networks, emerging public health and healthcare partnerships, and the
ability to obtain care for vulnerable populations.


HCA 630: HEALTHCARE LAW AND ETHICS (CREDITS: 3)

This course explores the range of legal and ethical issues facing healthcare
administrators and providers. Students will gain expertise analyzing legal and
ethical dimensions of healthcare from administrative, clinical, and
organizational perspectives. Current issues, as well as perennial conflicts in
healthcare law and ethics, will provide real-world case studies for students to
research and debate. Throughout the course, students will gain practice
integrating core healthcare law and ethics concepts and practices into their
leadership approaches to ensuring excellent patient care.


HCA 720: LEADERSHIP AND STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS (CREDITS: 3)

This course explores the challenges and opportunities facing healthcare leaders
and organizations in an age of accountable care, and examines the critical role
health data and informatics can and should play in the strategic management of
healthcare organizations. Using case-based study techniques, students explore
practice and system management, strategic planning, and change leadership.
Students combine this insight into health leadership with the actionable insight
offered through effective health informatics and business intelligence
practices, to craft optimal solutions to internal organizational processes and
to external business decisions.


HCA 765: COMMUNICATION FOR HEALTHCARE LEADERS (CREDITS: 3)

Students in the course will examine concepts, theories, and best practices for
communication in the professional workplace. The goal of this course is to
refine your written, oral and visual communication. Participants in this course
will develop strategies to create meaningful communication for a vast audience.
Students will enhance their skills in natural and scholarly writing, oral
presentation, and visual demonstrations.

 

All courses are graduate-level and taught in eight-week terms, allowing you to
take two courses each term. The Healthcare Management certificate is two
semesters in length, which is the time equivalent of eight months (presuming you
choose to take a regular course load consisting of one course each eight-week
term, two courses per semester).

To accelerate earning your certificate, you may complete the program in four to
six months by taking more than one course each eight-week term.

busy schedule with multiple start times throughout the year. UNE Online offers
