Business Administration: Medical Leadership

Medical Leadership

Just a few years after completing a course of study, the market value of the specialist knowledge acquired has declined sharply as a result of natural forgetting and new knowledge. Regular continuing education
counteracts this and ensures an above-average competitive knowledge portfolio.

The program combines academic teaching and research with practice and at the same time promotes professional, methodological and social skills.

CAS Medical Leadership

Führungskräfte im Schweizer Gesundheitswesen müssen zahlreiche Herausforderungen gleichzeitig managen, wie etwa die Bewältigung der steigenden Kosten, die Sicherstellung einer qualitativ hochwertigen Patientenversorgung, die Anpassung an neue Technologien und die Digitalisierung, die Gewinnung und Bindung von qualifizierten Fachkräften sowie die Bewältigung regulatorischer Anforderungen und politischer Veränderungen. Zudem müssen sie auch auf die steigenden Erwartungen der Patient:innen und die zunehmende Komplexität des Gesundheitssystems reagieren. Wie diese und ähnliche Themen zu handhaben sind, diskutieren wir im Studiengang CAS Medical Leadership.

Managers in the Swiss healthcare sector have to manage numerous challenges simultaneously, such as coping with rising costs, ensuring high-quality patient care, adapting to new technologies and digitalization, attracting and retaining qualified specialists and coping with regulatory requirements and political changes. They must also respond to rising patient expectations and the increasing complexity of the healthcare system. We discuss how to deal with these and similar issues in the CAS Medical Leadership course.

Einerseits kann künstliche Intelligenz (KI) grosse Mengen an Daten analysieren und Muster erkennen, die für Menschen möglicherweise schwer zu erfassen sind. Andererseits basiert die menschliche Intuition in der Medizin oft auf jahrelanger Erfahrung, emotionaler Intelligenz und einem tiefen Verständnis von Patient:innen und deren Lebensumständen. Diese Aspekte sind durch KI kaum zu reproduzieren.

Im Modul Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Teil des CAS in Medical Leadership, werden unter anderem die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von KI in der Medizin diskutiert. Die Teilnehmenden erhalten Einblicke in die neuesten Entwicklungen im Bereich der digitalen Gesundheit und praktische Ratschläge von führenden Fachleuten.

On the one hand, artificial intelligence (AI) can analyze large amounts of data and recognize patterns that may be difficult for humans to grasp. However, human intuition in medicine is often based on years of experience, emotional intelligence and a deep understanding of patients and their circumstances. These aspects can hardly be reproduced by AI.

In the Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning module, part of the CAS in Medical Leadership, the possibilities and limitations of AI in medicine are discussed. Participants will gain insights into the latest developments in the field of digital health and practical advice from leading experts.

V﻿ieles deutet darauf hin, dass neue Versorgungsmodelle notwendig sind. Dies, um den Herausforderungen eines sich wandelnden Gesundheitsumfeldes zu begegnen und eine qualitativ hochwertige, zugängliche und kosteneffiziente Versorgung zu gewährleisten.

N﻿eue Versorgungsmodelle sind aus mehreren Gründen erforderlich, unter anderem: d﻿emografischer Wandel, z﻿unehmende Komplexität der Erkrankungen, t﻿echnologischer Fortschritt, K﻿ostendruck im Gesundheitssystem, patientenzentrierte Versorgung, interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit sowie P﻿rävention und Gesundheitsförderung. 

D﻿iese und weitere Thematiken, die aktuell Führungspersonen im Gesundheitswesen beschäftigen, werden im CAS Medical Leadership diskutiert.

There are many indications that new care models are needed. This is in order to meet the challenges of a changing healthcare environment and ensure high-quality, accessible and cost-effective care.

New care models are needed for several reasons: demographic change, increasing complexity of diseases, technological progress, cost pressure in the healthcare system, patient-centered care, interdisciplinary cooperation, prevention and health promotion.

These and other topics that are currently of concern to managers in the healthcare sector are discussed in the CAS Medical Leadership.
