Course Description

This course focuses on two important capability areas in healthcare leadership and practice: 1. Digital Health Strategy and Change Management and 2. Health Care Design.

The strategy and change management component of this course will enable you to evaluate digital health technologies for their evidence base and financial viability and develop business plans and approaches to enable meaningful adoption of such technologies and initiatives among workforces and clients.

The design component of this course will enable you to develop knowledge and skill to inform design of better futures in health and social care before learning the design thinking frameworks and processes to articulate problems and prototype new product or service designs in health and social care.

Overview of Learning Activities

This course uses highly structured learning activities to guide your learning process and prepare you for your assessments. The activities are a combination of individual, peer-supported and facilitator-guided activities, and where possible project-led, with opportunities for feedback throughout. 

Authentic and industry-relevant learning is critical to this course and you will be encouraged to critically evaluate what is happening in your industry and reflect on your experience to provide further insights. 

Social learning is another important component and you are expected to participate in class and group activities, share drafts of work and resources and give and receive peer feedback. You will be expected to work efficiently and effectively with others to achieve outcomes greater than those that you might have achieved alone. 

The learning activities will enable you to understand course learning resources and apply that learning to improve your own practice, for example by producing real-world artefacts and engaging in scenarios and case studies.


Overview of Learning Resources

Each learning activity contains the core resources, such as videos, podcasts, readings, templates, articles, industry tools and/or communities that you will need to complete that activity, or links to those resources. 

 

Additional learning resources designed into the course, will be clearly marked as supplemental. If your course teaching team finds additional resources during course delivery which they think can support or be of interest to the class cohort, these will be made available as required during the teaching period. 

 

In your class environment, besides your learning activities you will also find 

  • All assessment briefs
  • A course information page with a study schedule, 
  • Various communication tools to facilitate collaboration with your peers and facilitators, and to share information 

Learning Resources are also available online through RMIT Library databases and other facilities. Visit the RMIT library website for further details. Assistance is available online via our chat and email services, face to face at our campus libraries or via the telephone on (03) 9925 2020.
