Contents and Purposes
The summer school is hosted by the Post Graduate School of Health Economics and Management (ALTEMS) of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and will benefit from the collaboration with these prestigious institutions, particularly:
CERISMAS (Research Center in Healthcare Management) at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
Gemelli Teaching Hospital
Ghent University, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, CuraMa
Ghent University Hospital
The program - thanks to the collaboration of important teaching hospitals, universities and research centres from different European Countries - aims to illustrate logistic, organizational and technological solutions and innovations to improve hospital operations.
Currently healthcare production processes are exposed to two different types of challenges.
First, operations managers are asked to manage more efficiently production assets to face the current problems of access to care due to the delays caused by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Secondly, healthcare operations need to be re-
designed to better support value creation in the perspective of patients’ care considering some critical trends, particularly: (i) chronic diseases; (ii) aging of the population and (iv) one health approach with the need to integrate healthcare with social care.
In this context technology introduces for sure new scenarios and opportunities; we are talking here about big data and artificial intelligence, telemedicine, virtual hospital and automatization.
This summer school course tries to understand how innovations in patient flow logistics and supply chain can create value contributing, eventually, to make our healthcare systems more sustainable.
The Summer School will take place from 4th to 6th of September 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m., at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in the campus of Roma (Largo Francesco Vito 1) Only the first day starts at 11:00 a.m. The participants, attending at least 80% of the hours scheduled in the educational program, will receive a certificate of attendance from the University.
