POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM

 COURSE: HEALTH INSTITUTIONS AND POLICIES

 

Α. AIM OF THE PROGRAM

The main feature of development of the health system during the last years is the specification of services rendered. Thus, the watertights of medical or nursing education are being transcended, by now extending to include the fields of planning and institutional formation, of both economical and administrative management, the use of technology and communications, behavioral management, leadership-guidance, as well as their social significance and legitimization.

Raised needs and constant social pressure for modern, flexible and effective health and social care services entail the increase of the public investments in the health sector.

At the same time the limited availability of public resources in most European countries has rendered the goal of reducing the cost of health services as the main priority and led the governments to make coordinated efforts towards its rationalization, focusing on the preemptive dimension of health services.

In this framework, the role of State in both organizing and providing health care services has undergone various changes involving the upgrading of the citizens’ participation in the decision-making processes, because of the present enhanced ability on internet access.

In the context of a general reorganization of the health care services, aiming to the quality, the content, the scope and the particular aspects of cost of the services provided, the researchers in the relevant fields of social policy as well as the employees and the future health care system executives have to obtain further knowledge, which would render them able to respond to the increased demands and the new conditions of the health care services provision.

The course, “Health Institutions and Policies” of the Master’s Degree Program of the Department of Social and Educational Policy aims to cover a special field of the health care system, that is its institutional formation and political decision making. At the same time, students will be given the opportunity to obtain expertise in the field of the methodology of research, of economic management, in the administration of health care services, in the anthropology of health and the problems concerning social care in general, a necessary knowledge for the accumulation of a complete and thorough mastering of the aforementioned scientific fields. The master program covers five modules-fields, whose content highlights its interdisciplinary philosophy.
