Health Services Innovation
The specialisation HSI prepares students to become innovative professionals who are able to influence the future direction of healthcare and to transform the current system as the means to improve health outcomes and costs for patients and providers, as well as better integrate the different components of the healthcare system. Students are trained to get competent in designing, applying and testing innovative processes and products. Innovative thinking, planning and managing, implementing, and evaluation are emphasised throughout the course. The curriculum incorporates the latest trends in healthcare and the opportunity to network with professionals and experts in the field of HSI. HSI fits well with the new vision on health and health care by the FHML. As a consequence of several developments this new vision is, following the World Health Organisation, being described as integrated care. Illness and impairment are no longer at the centre, but health, health risks and wellness gain more attention. In addition, traditional distinctions like treatment and prevention, cure and care, and inpatient and outpatient care gradually fade away. Future health care is not aimed just at the patient, but is increasingly paying attention to people with characteristics or in conditions which are threatening their health.
