We plan to gradually develop four levels of education components in Healthcare Management and Policy: 1) All students, 2) MBA Programme, 3) EMBA Programme 4) Executive Development Programme.

• All Students

Healthcare courses are offered as electives to ensure that all CEIBS students are exposed to healthcare issues.

The required curriculum incorporates healthcare cases and topics in many courses ranging from Marketing and Finance to Entrepreneurship and Strategy. This ensures that all students will understand the industry from various functional perspectives. 

Students may choose field-based research projects specific to their particular healthcare interests.

• MBA Course

MBA students can choose from a variety of elective courses in healthcare management and policy. Course descriptions of these elective courses include:

Healthcare Systems, Policy and Reform
This course introduces students to the fundamental tradeoffs and principles common to all healthcare systems. Students will learn how to apply basic concepts and analysis tools to understanding the special features of healthcare markets. Specifics of healthcare financing policy and reforms from selected healthcare systems that are of particular interest will be discussed. International comparisons will allow students to draw valuable lessons about different practices across different systems. More importantly, this highly interactive course is designed to help students to establish a conceptual framework to understand and influence the process of health policy making, and to understand the current and future trend of healthcare financing policy.

Economics of Health and Healthcare
This course provides a framework for understanding the economic factors underlying the healthcare system and the intersection of its agents (consumers, payers, providers, suppliers). The course focuses primarily on the structure and economics of health insurance and the demand for healthcare; pricing and reimbursement of drugs, vaccines, medical devices and hospital services; the economics of biomedical research; disease-management programmes; and cost-benefit analyses employed by payers and consumers of healthcare products and services. The purpose of this course is to introduce both the language and key concepts of health economics that are relevant to the policy debates and discussion involving the healthcare delivery world.

Management of Healthcare Organisations
This course introduces students to the concepts, theories, and practical problems of managing healthcare organisations. Case material is drawn from hospital, HMO, group practice, public health agency, and for-profit company settings. Students gain a better understanding of the range of strategic and operational problems faced by managers, some of the analytic tools to diagnose problems, and the role of leadership (and management) in improving performance. Performance based management is an important component of this course, including quality of care, safety, effectiveness of care, patient oriented care, and cost control (efficiency).

Management of Life Science Industry
This course examines the key pricing, marketing and management strategies in life sciences, including sampling, detailing, direct-to-consumer advertising, reference pricing, value-based pricing, branding, patenting, generic competition, and benefit designing. The conceptual and analytic framework will include economic and managerial principles, as well as social, legal, regulatory and ethical considerations. Tensions and trade-off among those dimension in life science innovation, marketing and management will be carefully explored and examined. 

• EMBA Course

EMBA students can choose to participate in a module on the essentials of healthcare management and policy (3-4 days):

Healthcare Essentials from An Executive’s Perspective
This course helps students to understand what an executive needs to know about health and healthcare in order to run a successful business. This course critically examines the health conditions that drive productivity loss and work absences. It assesses the strategies in terms of direct economic incentives, indirect health benefit design and medical preventive care to improve health in order to improve productivity and reduce cost burdens. This course also combines basic knowledge included in the four MBA courses described above.

• Executive Development Programme

The Centre cooperates with CEIBS Executive Education Department to develop training programmes.

1) Hospital Executive Training Programme

CEIBS’ Experience in Leadership Development Programme for Hospital Executives 

As China deepens its healthcare system reform, the traditional hospital president appointment system has started to show its disadvantages. Many expert-type presidents lack both knowledge and practice in management, so there has been an increasing demand for hospital management education. From 2000, CEIBS has offered the Hospital Management Programme in cooperation with the China Health Economics Institute (CHEI), Eli Lilly, and Shanghai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. This was a one-of-a-kind initiative jointly launched by the healthcare sector and the education sector that has helped facilitate healthcare reform in China.

In order to further promote executive education in the hospital management sector,the CEIBS Diploma in Hospital Management Programme (DIHMP) was launched in 2003. Based on 10-years of experience in the operation of DIHMP and in light of the current circumstances, CEIBS has redesigned DIHMP and launched a new programme named “Leadership Development Programme for Hospital Executives (LDPH)” in 2010. LDPH aims to equip individuals in senior management positions with a comprehensive and systematic set of international concepts and tools that can be applied to China's healthcare system. The programme is tailored for senior hospital administrators to complement their medical expertise with management skills to improve hospital management and operation in a more complicated market environment.

As one of the pioneers in teaching and research of hospital management in China, CEIBS is committed to the maintaining its leading position in business management education by continuously improving and updating its programmes. To date, number of participants in the CEIBS DIHMP has exceeded 400. Through lectures and case studies, participants have gained a systematic understanding of hospital management, and have successfully applied what they have learned to improve their hospital operations. Participants of this Programme are well recognised for their excellence in the industry, many of whom have been promoted or entrusted to further responsibilities during and after their studies in this Programme.

Research projects for the CEIBS Healthcare Sector Research Centre are usually faculty-driven, but can also involve students.

• Long-term Research Projects

Long-term projects focus on one or two select areas, enabling the Centre’s research group to specialise in specific areas of Healthcare. The factors that guide our selection include: 1) data availability 2) social impact and 3) interests and strengths of our researchers.

Health Insurance Research
1) To establish a long-term cooperation with a city or province to build a database of health insurance claim data.
2) Potential studies include insurance payment methods, establishing a universal health insurance system improving insurance management, improving the healthcare delivery system, measuring healthcare quality and costs, and controlling healthcare expenditures.

Value-Based Healthcare Management
1) To establish a series of value indicators to measure the performance of healthcare delivery system and quality of healthcare.
2) To establish a process to manage healthcare organisations based on their performance.
3) To establish incentives and a regulatory system to encourage value-based management. 

Management of Chronic Disease and Long Term Care
We would like to research on how commercial, market and policy initiatives can increase the cost efficacy of chronic disease management and long-term care, and limit the overall cost impact of chronic disease and long-term care on the Chinese economy.

Health Technology Assessment and Strategic Investment
1) Health technology innovation is a key driver for medical expenditure and investment. With the advancement of chemical, biomedical, biologic, device technology and Chinese medicine, the identification of cost-effective health technology is critical for corporations to adopt new technology and make strategic investments. 
2) We critically assess the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of emerging health technology in the areas of chemical, biomedical, biologic and device technology and Chinese medicine, envisioning the shifts in demand due to changing disease patterns and demography. 
3) We also examine the regulatory role and pricing strategies that may influence the success of new technologies in the market place.

Health Data System for Government Health Authorities
1) To select a city/province to establish a long-term cooperative relationship.
2) To design a set of database and data components for health authorities.
3) Possible datasets include: health status, behaviour, utilisation, and expenditure survey, healthcare provider data system, and healthcare resource data systems.

• Ideas for Short-Term Research Projects

Short-term year-long team projects also create impact and influence. The factors that guide our selection are: 1) interests of our researchers 2) social impact 3) feasibility and quick turn-around. 

- Health insurance payment reform
- Public hospital reform
- Drug pricing reform
- Alternative treatment
- Reform of physician employment system
- Medical and drug separation 

The products of these projects could be in the format of policy papers, policy briefing, research papers, collected paper volumes for publication, and media reports. 

• Healthcare Management and Policy Cases

The dynamic and often complex nature of healthcare makes it ideally suited for the development of provocative case studies that reflect the most recent issues in healthcare management and healthcare innovation. Healthcare cases can be used in both healthcare courses, as well as the core CEIBS curriculum.

The complicated and dynamic nature of China’s healthcare reform and transition highlight the importance of understanding the practical issues and factors in real life cases. Case studies summarising real experiences and lessons can also provide the basis for developing theories and policies.

We encourage cooperation between our external researchers and Centre researchers in producing cases.
