Course unit content
- Analysis of the operational unit / department: identification and development of indicators of input, process, output and outcome (eg. Average length of stay, case mix index, performance index, etc.) with the objective of evaluating the performance UO / department in space (benchmarking with similar groups) and in time (evolution of the levels of efficiency and effectiveness within the company).
- Development of a new health service: the creation of a new service (or modification of an existing one) is consistent with the needs of the local community requires a study of a number of variables to assess the actual feasibility (estimate of potential demand, analysis supply, preparation of a business plan
