Healthcare spending frequently exceeds 10% of advanced economies’ gross domestic product, yet, it does not necessarily translate into satisfactory levels of population health. Instead, healthcare systems frequently struggle to ensure timely and affordable access to quality care and patients struggle to navigate a highly fragmented healthcare landscape. At the same time, increasing life expectancies and lifestyle changes alter the nature of care services that people expect and accentuate these challenges.
This program is designed for high-potential individuals who wish to obtain a systems-level understanding of the healthcare sector, deepen their comprehension of the complex managerial and policy challenges that healthcare systems face, and equip themselves with cutting-edge conceptual frameworks and business-analytic tools that will help them more efficiently guide their organizations to face new realities and new challenges.

Session 1 - Healthcare Policy (New York - Cornell)
In New York, we will start our course by discussing healthcare policy and exploring its utility, components, and indicators. Further, we will cover the basis and principles of health economics and the incentives to pay for care delivery. Finally, we will discuss the future of healthcare, in particular machine learning and its expected paradigm shift in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Throughout this week, we will organize visits to major healthcare providers in New York, where senior leaders will deliver presentations and discuss their experience in leading those institutions.
Session 2 - Healthcare management (Doha)
In Doha, we will introduce foundational frameworks for understanding the interactions between the key players of a healthcare system. We will explore the key strategic decisions of healthcare organizations, discuss how operational process design can function as a key enabler of strategy, and introduce approaches that can guide the development of patient-centric services. Our discussions will be based on examples from different healthcare systems worldwide and we will further observe in action several of the discussed concepts and tools at leading local organizations.
