Healthcare Redesign Diagnostics and Analysis CAM509
Introduction
Students completing this unit will acquire advanced problem-solving and analytical skills for the ‘diagnosis’ of service delivery blockages, quality and safety issues, and system inefficiencies. The unit draws upon a solid theoretical and empirical basis and introduces students to a range of best practice healthcare redesign models and tools for use within primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare contexts. This unit is a prerequisite for CAM510 Healthcare Redesign Solutions and Implementation. Students are expected to undertake a small workplace-based, or simulated, healthcare redesign project in their as part of CAM509 and CAM510, with assessments tied to key project milestones. This (work integrated) learning approach provides students with the opportunity to improve patient care using evidence-based strategies while working towards an academic qualification.
