The collaborative Health Care Management & Leadership Development Board of Governors certificate is a partnership program between Lambton College and Bluewater Health.
It is an integral component of training for managers and leaders in an environment where the landscape is rapidly evolving. The program will enhance fundamental business acumen, people and leadership skills through the exploration of aspects of human resources, finance, quality assurance, legislation and law relative to a health care environment.
Care management techniques will be applied in the health care setting including performance, change management and working in a team environment. The program will provide skills and knowledge to strengthen a leader's competencies by:
- Sharing with students a number of current changes and challenges while leading in the healthcare landscape.
- Providing an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth.
- Generating possibilities for strengthening their communication skills, fostering relationships within and across teams and developing partnerships within the broader community.
- Connecting their leadership and management skills to the various programs and innovations that their home healthcare settings are offering (i.e. Lean, Patient and Family-Centred Care, Best Practices, etc.).
- Graduating people who can bring continuous improvements to their institutions and to do so in a measurable and sustainable way that enables innovation, increased effectiveness and efficiencies.
Foundational to all of the competencies and accountabilities for those in management roles will be the dialogue and strategies surfaced in the introduction related to individuals gaining reflective skills and developing their personal approaches to self-care and continuous development.
Students will gain a stronger understanding of modern healthcare and develop management skills needed to deliver quality healthcare solutions to diverse segments of the public.
