Make-up exam/re-exam |
Same examination form as the ordinary exam
If the number of registered candidates for the make-up
examination/re-take examination warrants that it may most
appropriately be held as an oral examination, the programme office
will inform the students that the make-up examination/re-take
examination will be held as an oral examination instead.
Should the retake have the form of
an oral exam, there will be a second internal
examiner.

Course content and structure |
This course introduces students to a series of process and
performance management innovations, and their use in practice. In
addition, the course also addresses issues of project management in
this respect. Aside from the introductory and closing/summary
weeks, each of the 8 weeks will be based around one such
innovation, which will be addressed from the perspective of
development/use, design/technique, and
implementation/examination.
|
Teaching methods |
This course will be comprised of three
components: technical lectures, hands-on tutorials, and analysis
and reflection workshops. Technical lectures will introduce
students to the core subjects of the course, demonstrate the design
and use of process and performance management innovations, and
illustrate their importance in the wide healthcare environment.
Hands-on tutorials will give students the opportunity to gain the
skills with these innovations necessary to use them effectively in
a healthcare environment. Analysis and reflection seminars will be
case based and are intended to place these innovations in the
context of healthcare practice, to allow students to investigate
the ways that these innovations affect professional and
organization behavior, and to allow them to better understand their
practical challenges and limitations. |
