Course Overview

Clinical staff will work around a process for health service cost economics that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Variation in cost economics between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. What blocks progress on the health and pharmaceutical services discipline is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants test their assumptions about health service cost economics against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the practice within health and pharmaceutical services, in large organisations and small ones alike. It treats cost economics as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They leave able to brief senior management on health service cost economics in terms that support a decision. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better cost economics is rarely technical. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of health and pharmaceutical services survives a hostile question.
