Approaches to Health Care Innovation

Catalog description

Theory-based survey course introduces approaches to lead innovation in an organization. Many change initiatives are designed by those not completing the work, leaving workers isolated, restricted and powerless. Teaches health care leaders to value collaboration with and seeking input from those who will carry out the work. Analyzes approaches to planned change: positive deviance, appreciative inquiry and creation of a learning organization. Students construct a change plan using an appropriate approach to address a health care problem.
